Stock Your Gym Bag With THIS… it Helps!

January 5, 2018COMtnMom

The following is a sponsored conversation, in partnership with Mom It Forward and Body Armor.  All opinions are my own.

gym bag packed and ready to go

Aaahhh… dragging yourself out in the winter cold temps to head to the gym. Anyone else struggle with this? My fitness focus has shifted in recent years, so that it’s not so much worrying about weight.  At this point in my life, I workout for my overall health.  It’s a solid investment in yourself!

I know this in my head.  But that doesn’t always translate to getting my lazy butt in gear.

That being the case, I’m always looking for help an motivation to go get that exercise in!  Am I right, girlfriend?  One thing that I have found really helpful is having a cute gym bag I love… all packed and ready to go.

Discover you forgot something you “need”?  Deal breaker.

Too groggy to even pack your gear for that early morning workout?  Deal breaker.

So take 5 minutes and pack that gym bag, so it’s ready to go!

Hey, hey! Add some inspirational bling to your gym bag.

Pack Your Gym Bag Essentials

Here’s some ideas on what to have packed.

#1 Headphones.  (And Backup Headphones.)

Verizon Bose SoundSport wireless headphones

No sound, no workout – that’s how I tend to roll.  If I can’t listen to music, or tap into a half hour of some crime show while I do the elliptical – I just can’t pull off a workout.

So now I have these nifty Bluetooth, wireless headphones that work really slick with my fancy TomTom Adventure fitness watch that’s also an MP3 player. Super cool.  Until the batteries in my headphones die… and then it’s not cool anymore.

So I literally have TWO SETS of music options packed in my gym bag!  The backup plan is my iPod Nano with traditional earbud headphones.  (And my backup-backup plan is my phone…)

#2 Hydration

Did you know BodyArmor now also has SportWater?  Launched in 2017, BODYARMOR SportWater is designed by athletes, for athletes and provides superior hydration.  It includes both Electrolytes and Performance pH 8+.

BodyArmor Sports_Water
BodyArmor SmartWater – Wide mouth bottle in 3 sizes (20 oz., 23.7 oz. Sports Cap, & 1 Liter)

Or if you prefer their incredibly delicious flavors (Peach Mango or Cherry Berry), you have the option of the naturallly sweetened BODYARMOR LYTE.  It also includes vitamins and coconut water, and has only 20 calories per serving.  Not formerly big on sports drinks, my husband and I both come to love the BODYARMOR LYTE this past year (it was launched in 2017).  We purchase it frequently for after-athletic endeavors.  

Here’s a Kroger BodyArmor SportWater coupon link, good for $1 off 2 (filter by “Beverages” if you don’t see it at first).  Or get a BodyArmor coupon directly from their site.  In Denver, BODYARMOR is available at King Soopers.

#3 Swim Suit & Towel

I hope for you sake that your gym has a hot tub, sauna, or steam room (or all 3).  This is such a relaxing post-workout treat, it’s an awesome motivator to get yourself to the gym.  Especially in winter.  I’ve been know to shed a tear or two when I come to find my swim suit missing from my gym bag…

#4 Change of (Loose) Clothing

If you always dash off without changing after your workout, no worries.  But I keep an extra pair of not-fitted-leggings (typically yoga pants) in my gym bag just in case I need to change post-workout.  Especially if I hit the hot tub, it’s really tricky to pull on spandex after that.  Yep. Especially tricky.  Not a pretty sight, overall.

Also pack a clean pair of socks. And underwear.  I maybe didn’t need to say that out loud, but… you’re welcome.

#5 Sports Bra

Ever quickly thrown on a t-shirt and ran to the gym, then realized you forgot you were wearing your daytime bra, and that wasn’t going to work out so well?  Just keep an extra one handy in your gym bag.  Problem solved!

#6  Small Toiletry Bag

Gym essentials toiletry bag

I’m not one of those girls that lingers in the lockeroom for 1 hour after their workout, styling hair and applying makeup.  But I have put together a small toiletry bag that I keep on hand for those fast, semi-desperate post-workout touchups so that I look a little less scary when I depart.

It includes:

  • Lotion
  • BB Cream for Face
  • Travel sized Mouthwash (so refreshing! Would be awesome if my gym were fancy enough to provide this, but they don’t)
  • Lip Balm
  • Hair Comb
  • Hair Tye
  • Deodorant
  • Eye Makeup remover and Q-Tips (if the steam room transformed my mascara into monster eyes)

It's Fitness Resolution Time! Having your bag packed & ready to go will really help... start with these 11 gym bag essentials. #fitness #gym #resolutions #motivation #healthliving #bodyarmor

#7 Ball Cap

That segwayed nicely to the hat.  Maybe you don’t wear these.  But I do, and they help me feel like I’m hiding.  I keep a backup one in my gym bag, just in case I look extra rough after my workout and hot tub session.

I’m very, very sneaky.

#8  Lock

Locker lock for lock your own lockers.  🙂

#9  Plastic bags

For wet and/or stinky clothes.  I re-use them, keep a few in my bag, and it’s pretty slick.

#10 Flip Flops

For shower or steam room use.  Less eeww.

#11 Protein Snacks

Protein Energy Gels for pre workouts

Sometimes I rush to the gym on a busy day, arrive, and realize “Ah, nuts. I’m starving, and have zero energy”.  Don’t you hate that when that happens?

Although I don’t run much anymore, I learned when training for a runDisney half marathon that energy gel packets are the least offensive substance to take into your stomach right before exercise.  If I’ve got at least a 20 minute buffer, I prefer to eat a Cliff bar.  I try to keep both on hand in my gym bag, just in case.

I think that’s everything I stock my gym bag with!

Any tips on what I missed, or what you like to include…?
