Whether you’re in for legs, arms, or back day at the gym, there are a few items you can’t leave the house without and if you want to get the best out of your workout. You have your perfectly curated playlist to get you pumped up, a matching workout set that highlights all the work you have been putting in, and a gym membership at the best fitness center in the area. The question then becomes, what do I need to bring with me?
Your gym bag essentials can vary depending on how you plan to workout, but there are a few items that many regulars at the gym aren’t leaving the house without. The first thing that comes to mind for most is a water bottle. Depending on how much you hydrate, you may want a smaller collapsible option or something larger that you don’t have to refill constantly. Now, what if you’re looking to take your standard workouts to the next level? Then, there come accessories such as resistance bands and ankle weights to further challenge yourself, increase calorie burn, and help you feel even better when said exercise is done. Last, there’s post-workout care, wherein you may want to refuel with protein bars, shakes and the like, and the last thing you want to be after a tiring workout is underprepared for recovery.
Going to the gym can be intimidating, but at the very least, packing your gym bag shouldn’t be. Here are 15 gym bag necessities to get you started.
