What's In My Gym Bag?

Here it is: the long awaited tour of my gym bag. After I put a link up to that other tour, I've been getting requests to do one of my own. Let's dive right in. 

This is the basic stuff, with some optional things I may or may not bring depending on the day. 

Optional items: fins, flip flops, Pilates mat. 

Non-optional items: tennis shoes, water.

Here's the inside of the bag. I always have my water bottle. Always. I also have some miscellaneous knee braces, a golfer's/tennis elbow strap, Icy/Hot and Biofreeze (roll on and patches), deodorant, chap stick, cheap headphones, hair ties and headbands, cycling/lifting gloves, a combination lock (ultra-important), and I found a band aid (unused) in there, too.  

If swimming is on the agenda, there's some things to be added. In the summer, the pool at my gym is uncovered, thus outside. I bring sunscreen/lotion, swim caps (sometimes I use them, most of the time I don't), fins, swimsuits, a drag suit, a pair of tinted goggles and a pair of clear goggles. Never forget your water bottle! Although they're not in the photo, I bring flip flops, too. To me, there's nothing more gross than having to put on tennis shoes when your feet are wet.


I hope you enjoyed this little tour of my gym bag. Thanks for insisting I do this, I needed to clean it out, anyways. If you have any questions or comments, definitely let me know!
