How to Pack your Gym Bag

Today fitness is everybody’s concern as lack of it can invite unnecessary issues like obesity, medical disorders, lack of flexibility and simply add to your body age before time. One may do exercises at home, yoga or visit a gym but carrying the right essentials in your gym bag is important to get the best out of it. Here is a little guide to How to Pack your Gym Bag.

Comfortable Gym Wear and Shoes

While gymming one works on flexibility and stamina to get into shape easily which needs a lot of stretching and twisting. Thus you must adorn adequately comfortable workout pants and a comfortably loose fitting tee.

• Extremely loose clothes will make you look aged and also distract you while working out. Similarly tight fitting clothes will not let you bend and move the way you want while exercising.
• Choose the right bra : Get the perfect sports bra for yourself to remain maintain your comfort level while exercising. The bra should give you strong hold and no bulges from any side.
• Pack a pair of nice running shoes. They should fit well and not give you blisters post workouts.

Towel

You are going to sweat a lot while hitting the gym but who wants to look like a living waterfall at the gym. Keep your personal towel handy to wipe off the dirt and sweat.

• Carry oil blotting sheets for that extra oil and dirt on the face. You can also carry soft tissue for your face.
• Do not use the same towel for your face and body. The facial skin being sensitive may breakout due to it.

Perfume

Do not dare to forget wearing your perfume or deodorant. You may also use roll on frequently if you happen to smell bad after heavy workout sessions.

• Spray your perfume on all pulse points like behind the ears and at the back of the wrist to keep smelling fresh throughout.

Band-aids

Many a times you may get blisters and cuts which need attention immediately to avoid infection and continue working out freely. Carry some band aids and any antiseptic cream for such emergencies.

Hand Sanitizer and paper soap

Dirty hands is the main source of acne, pimples, rashes and even dandruff. So make sure you keep your hands clean before touching your face and hair. However, at the gym , where machines are commonly used by all this looks like a milestone to achieve.

• Worry not simply trust your hand products for the same. The best thing is to wear gym gloves while using the machines and lifting weights.
• Otherwise no touching your face with dirty hands in between gymming sessions. Reach out for your sanitizer or paper soap to prevent any chance of breakouts.
