Ladies & gents, my thighs have gone through three yoga pants in a month! This is all due to major chaffing on the treadmill. Is there any other cardio to curb this chubrub? I'm getting tired of Hulking out on the treadmill?!

Hi
I hate chubrub - it hurts so much!
If you're just looking for cardio, maybe try cycling, skipping or rowing.
But jumping jacks and burpees are a killer too0 -

I love the elliptical and do intervals so it's more of a challenge. Hope you find something that works for you!0

Get super short shorts? Rub vaseline between your legs? Just thinking out loud you hear!0

Vaseline, everyone's favourite lube.
Everyone has a favourite lube right?0 -
ELLIPTICAL!
And use anti chafe balm as used by cyclists... and shiny fabrics so they glide over each other... try some compression wear underneath too as it will make your legs a little slimmer by redistributing so called chub! So there should be less pressure on the rub!0 -
If you have a Target where you live, their Champion workout clothing line has a great workout short that is a compression short on bottom and short short on top combined into one. Haven't had any cub rub issues since I started wearing them!0

I was going to say shorts and aquaphor!0 -
Get some compression underwear for your workouts. Before putting them on, apply baby powder or corn starch to the area that will be getting wet and rubbing. Be sure to remove the shorts after your workout so the extra wetness doesn't cause irritation.0

Thanks all! I shall try the various exercises suggested and invest in a compression garment!0

I either wear shorts and apply heel lube (basically vaseline with some extra stuff), or I wear pants with synthetic materials - the kind meant for cooling. They hold up far better than cotton. They can be more expensive, but I got two really nice pairs of pants at Ross.
I'm late to the thread, but hope I helped!0 -
I started getting runner's rash (chub rub & sweat & higher speed friction). It cleared up instantly with some baby diaper/nappy rash cream. Super cheap, super easy, and super soothing0
