Include these Essentials while you pack your Gym bag

Working out can be extremely rewarding and is only further enhanced with the right accessories to accompany it. Whether you choose to lift weights in the gym, do Zumba at a studio or run in the park, there are a few essentials that will refresh, hydrate and nourish your body so it's best to have them on hand, especially if you're heading straight to work or a meeting. 

 

Before you workout next, add these to your exercise bag :

 

1. SmartShake

You need to refuel as soon as possible after exercising if you want to maximize the effects of your workout and recover properly. Shakes are a great way of doing this, and a SmartShake is the best way of storing them.

 

2. Hair Kit

Pack an elasticated headband, a bottle of your favourite dry shampoo, some sturdy clips and a styling product. Using these accessories you can tie your hair back. It's always a smart choice to keep  Dry Shampoo in hand until you have time to wash your hair with water. 

 

3. Moisturisers

The gym puts your skin through a lot, so when you finish your workout you need to nourish your skin with decent moisturisers. As well as a body and face moisturiser and a lip balm too.

 

4. Water Bottle

If you’re not comfortable with drinking out of public taps and water fountains you need a water bottle. This will help to keep you hydrated as you work out.

 

5. Weight Lifting Gloves

For those of you who lift weights at the gym, you’ll know there’s nothing more annoying than having to interrupt a set because you lose your grip. Weight lifting gloves alleviate this problem by providing a more solid grip than your bare hands can achieve.

 

6. Gym Towel

Pack a gym towel which you can either sit on our use to wipe sweat down before you use other equipments.

 

7. A pair of Bluetooth earbuds or  Earphones

Listening to motivating or favourite playlists will help to stay motivated and you will enjoy the workout session even more.

 

8.  A tube of deodorant

Deodorants are often alcohol-based and some have  antibacterial power to temporarily kill bacteria which will stop the stink before it starts.

 

9.  A first aid kit

No matter how coordinated you are or like to think you are accidents happen. When you're in a room surrounded by heavy weights and the occasional sharp edges, those odds become even higher.  Put stuff  like bandages, tape, and gauze in the kit for safety. 

 

10. A lock to store your gym bag

Its always safe to to lock your bag so that you dont loose your stuffs.
