Now you are pumped to go workout at the gym but the question is, what should I pack in my gym bag to bring along to help make working out less of a headache?
Here is a Checklist I have made of items which are essential when going to the Gym:
- Gym Membership card holder
- Proper footwear & socks
- Workout Clothes
- Elastic Bands (for those with long hair)
- BPA free Water Bottle
- MP3 player (makes working out fun with music!), Pedometer
- Change (usually quarters) or your own Combo Lock to store your gym bag in a locker
- Toiletries (Soap, Flip Flops to wear for showering, deodorant, Facial Wipes, Travel Size brush, shampoo)
- Laundry bag (for your workout cloths after excercising)
- Post Workout Snacks (Fruits, Nuts, Energy Bars or Protein Shake)
- Yoga Mat (if gym does not supply mats)
- 2 Towels (1 small for working out and 1 large after you shower)
- Make-up Kit (If you want to glam up a bit before leaving the gym)
