Health and fitness are very important to me and both play a huge role in my everyday life. I feel better on the daily when I eat healthy and make time for the gym. It isn’t hard for to be sure that I get gym time because I love to workout. In fact, the gym to me is like an adult playground! However, there have been a few times I’ve made it to the gym unprepared and not ready to “play”. Have you ever gotten to gym and realized you left your water bottle or headphones at home? I’ve come to realize there are some essentials I need to have with me so that I can be prepared for a great workout. In order to always be prepared I keep my gym bag in the car so that it is never forgotten. If you follow me on Instagram (@styledtoinspire) you’ll know that I love all things Nike and that’s exactly where I found my must have Nike gym bag that I have pictured. I keep everything I need to have a great workout inside my bag (click on the items to link up to my favorite brand) . . .
- Blender Bottle – I workout hard so I sweat a lot and I’m always reaching for my water bottled (filled with BCAA’s) during my workouts to stay hydrated.
- Headphones – Music fuels my workout. When I put my headphones on and turn my playlist on I am immediately in the zone to play hard.
- Training Gloves – to get a better grip, comfort, and protection while lifting weights.
- Lint Roller – Black is my favorite color to wear to the gym and it picks up a lot of lint and fuzz. Before I step out of the locker room I do a quick rollover with my lint roller.
- Lip Balm – No chapped lips at the gym!
- Deodorant – There’s not a lot worse than being stinky at the gym and I like to be extra prepared to get rid of any B.O.
- Hand Sanitizer – There are a lot of germs at the gym – stay sanitized!
- Ponytail Holders – My go to hairstyle for the gym is up in a topknot or ponytail but I don’t always fix my hair before I get there so I keep extras in my bag.
- Flip Flops – 2-3x a week I like to sweat it out in the sauna and I always change into flip flops so my socks and shoes aren’t soaked with sweat.
- Skin Cleansing Cloths – After an intense workout it’s easy to grab a wipe to clean up your face.
