First: The gym bag itself

I want to start by talking about your gym bag.

There are a lot of benefits to having a designated gym bag.

First, it’s a motivational push.

I feel the same way about setting out my gym bag.

The FreeSip comes in a variety of colors, so no problem there.

In the evening, you’ll catch me with an overpriced, decadent smoothie.

What else I bring depends on my game plan for the day.

“I preferfigure eight straps, but thats just me.

I like them because most people are stronger than their grip allows them to realize.”

In that same vein, don’t forget a stretching band, Phipps says.

You canuse a resistance bandfor stretching, then keep using it throughout your workout as designed.

It’s small and folds up into your bag, so again, just consider bringing your own.

Also toss a multi-equipment charger into your bag.

When I work out without my Apple Watch on, I get really annoyed with myself.

I keep athree-in-one chargerfor my AirPods, Apple Watch, and iPhone with me.

Finally, Phipps says you should pack your own sweat towel, and I agree.

It also folds up teeny-tiny into my bag or the cupholder of a cardio machine, which I appreciate.
