Treadmill Desk

Chamois Towel


Those athletes on TV just look too cool when they end their races, all toweling off while still breathing normally after a three million mile marathon. And even though you think they’re absolutely nuts as you throw back another beer, it seems that toweling off is probably a good idea when you want athlete groupies to come your way. At your treadmill desk, adding a chamois towel might be just the thing you need to de-sweat yourself and increase your groupie appeal. Assuming you have groupies.


Wipe the Sweat Off with a Chamois Towel


It makes sense that when you’re walking on your treadmill that you use a chamois towel from time to time. Sweat, while completely natural, can get out of hand when you’re in an office without air conditioning or you simply are walking a bit faster to burn off that morning’s bacon splurge. With a towel at your side, you can keep that salty sweat from getting into your eyes, your contacts, and even into your mouth when it’s really pouring out. If you’re one of the many who sweat like a buffalo, a towel is not optional – you need it. Imagine what you will look like when the delivery person shows up and you haven’t toweled off.


Sweat that drips off of you will not only make your skin break out, but when it gets into your electronic equipment, you might not be able to use the warranty to replace it. You need to make sure you aren’t sweating over your stuff by wiping down.


And the chamois towel can hold a lot of sweat, even if you’re a political radio talk show host, it can keep up.


A Chamois Towel Will Keep Your Treadmill Safe


Of course, if you’re slipping and sliding from all the sweat you’re letting run off your skin, you might have a dangerous situation in your office. Though you might be able to file for a worker’s comp claim, imagine how much your insurance company is going to laugh at you. “Yes, I need to file a claim because I slipped and hit my head on my desk while walking on a sweaty treadmill. What? What do you mean that’s ridiculous and I should have used a towel?”


Wiping down the bars at the sides of your treadmill will help you keep things safe and dry, but drying down the sweat puddle at your feet will also be a good thing. Sweaty treadmills are normal, but over time, they begin to smell like what you imagine the gym in “Rocky” must have smelled like.


Chamois Towel Options


No, don’t go to your car wash bucket for a towel to use on your treadmill. While that might work, you might also apply a protectant seal to your skin, and that’s probably not a good look for you. Or for anyone.


The Water Gear Chamois Towel comes a few lovely colors to match your office décor, while also being pint-sized to help you when you’re not a bucket sweat-er. Sure, they don’t hold a lot, so you might want to get one for each armpit and another for other crevices that might need help.


The Aqua Sphere Aqua Dry Towel is another possible chamois towel for your needs. And thought it is a little bigger, it only comes in one color for all of you fashionistas out there. The reusable container is nice and the larger size will help you mop up a gallon or too.
