Today’s topic –
5 Things in your Gym Bag
Now first of all, I will admit because I’m somewhat of a freak; I have 4 different bags that I keep together.
The first is my swim bag for when I’m good and actually swimming.
The second is my running bag which has all the goodies I might want or need and then some.
The third is my yoga bag
Then there is my gym bag.
It’s a good organizational system for me, because I can just grab the appropriate bag for the appropriate activity. Not that I currently have a routine or anything, but when I’m in the zone it works:)
So my gym bag that I use….
1. Jump Rope – when your all of 5 foot 2, you want to have your own jump rope. It just makes it easier as most of them are just too long.
2. Gloves – my feet are calloused enough without having to worry about getting work man’s hands. So when I lift, I use gloves. I also have a pair of warm gloves on the off chance we are running outside.
3. Extra Water – normally I take a reusable water bottle, but sometimes I need extra water and it’s always good to have afterwards too.
4. Extra Head Band and Hair tie – just because:)
5. Towel – With any luck I will work up enough of a sweat to need it and I am a sweater! TMI
Some of the other things come and go in my bag, but these items usually can be found at any given day.
Now I am off to see what everyone else keeps in their bags. It’s kind of like looking in someone’s purse. You never know what you will find!
What’s in you bag?
I don’t typically jump rope but I am 4′ 11″ so I know EXACTLY what you mean! 🙂
I really should jump rope more because it really is a great way to warm up. That being said, it really is important to have the right size rope:)
i sweat like crazy too – i finally realized i NEEDED to keep a towel in my bag at all times – i got tired of wiping my face with my shirt 🙂
I envy those women (and my sister is one of them) who finish a race with hardly breaking a sweat! It’s one of the reasons I always run with a headband too!
