    Why wear gloves?

    Here are some reasons behind the necessity of wearing gloves while weightlifting:
    1. No chalky floor: Sweating is common during every workout routine and people often make use of chalk to improve grip by reducing sweat. However, the chalk dust may include an allergic reaction in some people and make the place dirty. Goves can help eliminate the use of chalk and keep the floor clean.
    2. Bid goodbye to calluses: When the skin is exposed to fiction, it can develop small rough patches known as calluses. Wearing gloves can help keep your hands soft and healthy by preventing calluses from occurring.
    3. Protect your hands: Lifting heavy weight can cause the hands to get overstressed which may put the joint and tendons at a damage risk. Wearing gloves can help provide support to the hands thereby promoting their safety and a safer weightlifting method.
    4. Better grip: A good grip is essential for efficient weightlifting. Your hands may get sweaty and overstressed which may obstruct the weightlifting process. Gloves can help support the hands by enhancing the grip and providing stability to the workout.
    5. They complete the look: We all can agree that wearing a pair of gloves during a workout session can look pretty cool and complete the ‘gym look’. You can pick a glove according to your design, colour, material, and thickness preference and get ready for the ultimate gym experience.
