What’s in my gym bag?

I love reading posts like this, so I thought it would be fun to share with you what’s in my gym bag on a daily basis.

First things first: I carry the Balance Gym Bag from REI. I chose this one because it has A LOT of room for all my stuff, plus has a separated area for my stinky running shoes, and can carry my yoga mat or foam roller if I want. Overall, I have been very pleased with this bag and think it is a great value for the price I paid.

Now for the stuff:

1. Toiletries bag – face wash, body soap, toner, deodorant, and a hair tie

2. Makeup bag – just my pared-down, everyday makeup… sometimes I change products out when I start getting bored with what I’m using.

3. Go Fit Cross Training Gloves – used for GPP and other lifting

4. EAS Muscle Armor – BCAA powder for mixing with water after hard workouts/runs

5. Secret body spray – so I don’t stank… bought only because it says “marathon” in the name. I’m a marketer’s dream

6. Polar F4 Heart Rate Monitor and strap – self explanatory

7. comb and brush

8. EOS lip balm – I pretty much always have one of these on me. Addicted.

9. Drink mixes – Mio Energy in black cherry and Nuun

10. Sneaker balls – use them to try to keep my gym bag from being stinky

11. Lululemon Swiftly Headband – this was a splurge, but really doesn’t move during my workouts—freaking awesome!

12. A lock to keep my stuff safe while I workout
