Sweaty hands!!!

[GrettaB]

My new house has hardwood floors and my hands get so sweaty that I'm having trouble even doing burpees and mountain climbers without sliding! I have a yoga mat, but it's no help whatsoever because I slip on that too. Can anyone offer any suggestions short of area rugs or gloves?

A little baby powder on your hands might do the trick . It's very effective for absorbing moisture.

A few years ago, I was in a fitness class that involved some basic yoga stretches but I kept slipping on the mats provided due to sweaty hands/feet during down dog. I finally ended up buying a Natural Fitness natural rubber yoga mat on amazon and it solved my slippage problem entirely. Strangely, there are several reviews about the mat being slippery when wet but I find that hard to believe as I’m usually the sweatiest person in any class.

Baby powder would be cheaper though.

Have you tried a Yogitoes mat? They are cotton with rubber grippies on the bottom. I have really sweaty hands as well, and when I'm not wearing my gloves I just grab my Yogitoes mat and do pushups, mountain climbers, downward dog, etc. The natural fibers take care of all that sweat!

Cathe sells Multi-Purpose gloves that I use and they help me; my hands don't slip at all! Plus, they are cute

I also have Yoga Paws which are helpful for the feet which were given to me as a gift. Best Yoga Gloves, Travel Mats and Socks | Yogapaws
Good Luck!
