  • Legs too sticky for spins

    Posted by lescont019583 on October 30, 2014 at 12:18 pm

    My legs stick a lot and when I’m doing spins they stick and burn. And the more I sweat the stickier they get. Does anybody know a way to get my legs not to stick. I tried putting a little lotion on but then it was to slippery is there a way to a happy medium. What about baby powder could that work?

    Often this is just an issue with how hard you grip. I didn’t know HOW anyone could spin with little shorts on for SO long, and now… I’m spinning with little shorts on, with a much grippier pole than I used to have!
    I think that learning just the right amount of pressure to put on the pole with your legs and hands is the key. Far better to learn this and be able to transition from spin into a climb or more of a “sticky” move than to have to rely on using powders or whatever else.

    But, in the beginning, I wore capri pants. Those worked really well, because I still had most of my lower leg to do grip work, and I had everything else without grip at all. When I wanted to do anything that needed my thighs, I just changed.

    Think of it this way, for spins your upper body is doing the work, the legs are usually barely touching, they are not there to hold you up, the upper body does that. The legs help create a pretty shape and keep you moving in the right direction. 💜
