Rowing machines, weight machines, weighted squats and free weights are just to name a few of the exercises that cause CALLUS on hands.
This unpleasant occurrence which is regular for most people who do resistance training can be prevented by simply purchasing a good pair of weight lifting gloves.
The callus itself isn't painful or harmful, just doesn't look pleasant on people's hands especially those who are conscious of how they look when working out!
You can find them in any sports shop or online for as little as £2.00. Small price to pay for a pair of gloves that will last you a couple of months and help prevent the hard skin developing on the palms of your hands. The more you pay, the better the grip and durabilty of the gloves.
Some gloves are fingerless which is handy for those who sweat alot so hygeine is kept relatively good with fingerless gloves.
Other pairs fully cover your hands which can be better for grip but also mean that sweat will happen excessively!
Weight Lifting Gloves; These are a must have!
