Whether you are a seasoned gym bunny, a novice walker or you prefer the comfort of your yoga mat in the ease of your own apartment, there are a few essentials you should have with you to make your personal workout session all the more inviting. Once you have established what is needed in your gym bag, your journey to a healthier lifestyle isn’t just better, its more exciting. This is what we recommend for both young and seasoned women to carry with them for the workout of a lifetime.
The Pre-Application
You may not realize it, but if you are a novice at the gym or a regular, keeping yourself preoccupied is essential in terms of distraction. Find something to distract you when you are on the treadmill, walking around a few blocks or cycling at home on your exercise bike. Need an example?

Earphones
As mentioned above, earphones would be a handy piece of equipment. Music has the ability to amplify your workout. Endurance is stretched out and your energy levels are boosted when you are listening to feel good music, whatever that may be for you. So just before you pack your earphones in, make sure you have music compatible application to sync with your wireless earphones.
Sweat Towel
This is an essential, an absolute MUST for at home, at the gym or when you are out and about. If you are out and about, leave a spare sweat towel in your car otherwise, leave it in your gym bag. Why? At gym, you’ll need it to wipe down equipment while when you return to your car, your workout will leave you drenched and the last thing you want is to block your pores, break out in heat pimples or wreak of sweat. Use your sweat towel to avoid all of the above.
Gym Gloves
This is something you’ll only need if you are lifting weights. Avoid blisters and even germs by investing in a pair of gloves which also aids in gripping metal bars.
Water Bottle
Need we say more? You need to ensure that you stay hydrated and avoid any health complications by remaining hydrated and keeping an extra water bottle in your gym bag. On the same topic, always carry some small cash on you should you need to purchase a water bottle and or top it up at your local gym, on a walk or pay your partner to grab you a glass of h20 at home.
The more active you become the more in tune you become with your body and the sooner you get to work on what you find lacking in your gym bag. But in our experience, if you aren’t prepared, your training episode could be unpleasant, so be sure to avoid this and make life and being healthier a whole lot easier.
