It’s only natural for our bodies to sweat when we are making them endure some form of physical activity. It doesn’t have to be a full-on workout with heavy weights for you to start showing the signs of sweating – a simple set of muscle toning yoga poses is more than enough. Although there is nothing we can do to prevent our gym clothes from soaking up the sweat, we can certainly ensure the sweat-resistance of the tools we use.
Due to the yoga wheel coming in close contact with your skin, it is important for it to resist the sweat absorption. This way your little helper won’t start breeding bacteria soon after you start using it. To check whether or not your yoga wheel repels sweat, you have to find out what material it is made from. Generally speaking, the padding of the yoga wheels composed of PVC has a higher chance of sponging up the moisture than, let’s say, the padding of those made from Cork. This naturally-derived material is innately sweat-proof, meaning that your yoga wheel constructed from it will not only resist absorbing the sweat but also last longer. Other materials might have similar properties and you better check your yoga wheel’s ingredients before you make a purchase.
