THINGS<br />

FOR<br />

YOUR<br />

GYM BAG<br />

FITNESS & BEAUTY · OCTOBER 2017<br />

Hair ties. Never forget the hair<br />

ties again. Put them a small baggie.<br />

Stuff them in a pocket. Find a<br />

zipped pouch and load in a bunch<br />

of hair ties. Trust us; you’ll need them.<br />

Water bottle. If<br />

there’s anything<br />

5<br />

you shouldn’t<br />

forget, it’s your<br />

water bottle. You have <strong>to</strong><br />

stay hydrated during your<br />

workout. Keep it in your bag.<br />

Bonus points <strong>to</strong> you if you<br />

buy a cute one.<br />

Bags, bags, bags. We carry them<br />

everywhere. One for the office.<br />

Another for a night out on the <strong>to</strong>wn.<br />

One for shopping. And one for the gym.<br />

It never fails that the bag we have with us<br />

right now never has the supplies we need<br />

immediately. Knowing what <strong>to</strong> carry and<br />

when should be an Olympic sport. And<br />

speaking of sports, what are your must-haves<br />

for your gym bag?<br />

We have come up with a list of gym essentials<br />

<strong>to</strong>o, hopefully, make gym days easier for you,<br />

especially as you transition from gym rat <strong>to</strong><br />

9 – 5 professional within a matter of minutes.<br />

Let us help you pack the right gear and help<br />

you <strong>to</strong> avoid having <strong>to</strong> pack and re-pack the<br />

dreaded gym bag.<br />

We’re all about s<strong>to</strong>cking up on the must-have<br />

essentials. It goes without saying that the<br />

first item on your list is your bag. There are<br />

thousands of options out there for you. Pick<br />

one that won’t weigh you down, is easy and<br />

comfortable <strong>to</strong> carry, and has plenty of room<br />

<strong>to</strong> keep your items neat, and tidy (wrinkle<br />

free) as possible. You don’t want your liquid<br />

shampoos and soaps leaking on<strong>to</strong> your work<br />

clothes.<br />

After you’ve found the perfect bag, it’s time<br />

<strong>to</strong> load it with those items you often don’t<br />

realize you need until it’s <strong>to</strong>o late <strong>to</strong> go back<br />

home and pick them up.<br />

Energy bars. The last thing you<br />

want is <strong>to</strong> finally find your rhythm<br />

on the treadmill or the elliptical<br />

trainer and have your energy<br />

drained by hunger. To keep that momentum<br />

up, you have <strong>to</strong> have an on-the-go snack.<br />

They’re full of much-needed protein. They<br />

now come in individual packages that make<br />

them easy <strong>to</strong> s<strong>to</strong>re. They’re full of good-foryou<br />

ingredients and are the perfect essential<br />

<strong>to</strong> help you get through a grueling workout.<br />

Fitness tracker.<br />

Everyone has<br />

access <strong>to</strong> a<br />

fitness tracker.<br />

You don’t have <strong>to</strong> buy a<br />

fancy gadget. All you need<br />

is your phone, and you’re<br />

ready <strong>to</strong> go. This will help<br />

you stay motivated during your workout.<br />

Remember you’re only competing with<br />

yourself, so a fitness tracker is an excellent<br />

way <strong>to</strong> moni<strong>to</strong>r your progress. Trackers will<br />

track your calories burned, your distance,<br />

your speed, and your heart rate. They’re the<br />

perfect companion for the gym.<br />

Headphones<br />

– the musthave<br />

accessory.<br />

Gyms can be<br />

loud places. The grunting,<br />

groaning, chattering can<br />

be enough <strong>to</strong> get you out<br />

of the zone. Why not wear noise-reducing<br />

headphones <strong>to</strong> keep your head in the game<br />

and force you <strong>to</strong> focus on yourself and your<br />

workout.<br />

Shoes. You’ll need them for<br />

most workouts. No matter what<br />

style you get, make sure they’re<br />

comfortable, appropriate for<br />

your chosen exercises, and match all of your<br />

outfits. Why trade style for function when<br />

you can have both?<br />

Dry shampoo. You’re<br />

busy. Squeezing in a<br />

workout is hard enough.<br />

Hoping your hair will<br />

dry before an important meeting<br />

isn’t a good plan. Use dry shampoo<br />

<strong>to</strong> help you freshen up and ready<br />

for the next event.<br />

Makeup<br />

remover.<br />

How often<br />

have you forgotten<br />

that? Keep your skin<br />

clear and pores clog-free.<br />

9<br />

Headband.<br />

Tame flyaway<br />

hair. Trust us;<br />

you’ll need a good headband.<br />

Towel. Yes, your gym might offer<br />

10<br />

<strong>to</strong>wels but do they have moisturewicking<br />

<strong>to</strong>wels that are as fresh<br />

as any <strong>to</strong>wel you have at home. Chances are<br />

they don’t. Carry your own.<br />
