No more "Chub Rub"!



I discovered two things changed for me that I never gave thought to until now, and it’s a topic most of us don’t talk about. The first is what I refer to as Chub Rub. You know that inner thigh chub that rubs while walking and during the heat of summer results in a chub rub rash. Admit it, many of us get it either there or other places but yes, it happens!! I always just dealt with it as a part of life, buying lotions, creams, and powders to deal with it. NO MORE!! It dawned on me with the first mega hot day that I no longer had that issue!! Also gone was the annoying ride up of the shorts between the legs while walking. That was always an embarrassing one for me, even if people didn’t notice.

The second change… I no longer have to cross my legs when sneezing! Men don’t understand that one, but for us women who have had kids, it’s an issue. I always wondered why my mom did it and now fully understand why. Again, part of life so I should just accept it. Without out realizing it or even trying to solve the problem, I noticed the problem was gone while sneezing my brains out like many others in the spring. I guess I must have been taking care of those kegel exercises while using the elliptical machine. I love the unexpected extras through this journey!!
