Are you a gym rat or a fitness newbie? Chkokko's here to support you every step of the way on your fitness journey!
Gym rat or a fitness newbie, we are here to support you every step of the way on your fitness journey. But before that, packing a gym bag with all the right essentials can make all the difference between a crushing session and a frustrating workout. Here are 10 must-haves to keep you prepared and performing your best:
-
Your Water Bottle
Keep in mind to carry a reusable water bottle to sip from throughout, before and after your workout so that your bodily fluids can be replenished.
-
Supportive Sneakers: Your Foundation for Fitness
Choose sneakers according to the activity you are performing like weightlifting, running, or just having a fun dance session. The right footwear provides cushioning, traction, support, and balance to make your workout better.
-
Pump Up the Jams: Headphones
Upbeat music can make your workout so much more enjoyable and even boost your endurance. This will also help you block out any distractions.
-
Tame the Mane: Hair Tie
Do you also get that icky feeling when you get sweaty hair on your face? Keep a stack of hair ties (because we can never get enough hair ties in our bags) to keep your locks out of the way so that you can focus on your workout.
-
Stay Fresh: Deodorant
Deodorant is the most important gym bag essential. You can apply it before your workout so that you remain confident throughout the session.
-
Post-Workout Refresh: Shower Caddy
Refresh yourself with a small caddy containing necessities such as soap, shampoo/conditioner, a towel, and some lotion. This will help you feel ready to take on the rest of the day with freshness.
-
Flip Flop Freedom: Protect Your Feet
The damp shower floor can be a breeding ground for germs so shower sandals are a must. Flip-Flops help you stay away from these infections.
-
Hygiene on the Go: Gym Towel
Keep a small gym towel handy so that you can maintain your and your fellow gym-goers’ good hygiene.
-
Refuel and Recover: Healthy Snack
Keep some nutritious snacks with you to refuel your body after workout. Protein and carbohydrates are essential for muscle recovery. Consider options like protein bars, nuts, hard-boiled eggs, fruit, or yoghourt.
-
