\"Gym<\/a>Use this handy check-list to make sure you’ve got all the gear you need to have a productive workout.<\/p>\n

The right bag<\/strong>
\nChoose a gym bag that isn’t so big that it feels like a burden, but is roomy enough to stash all your gear. I like a bag that has lots of compartments, like the Live Well 360 Fitness bag<\/a>. It has pockets for shoes, keys and cards.<\/p>\n

Workout Clothes<\/strong>
\nYou don’t want to be fussing with your clothes during your workout, so pick things that are comfortable and let you move freely. I like to work out in yoga pants<\/a> and a tank top.
\n
\nExtra Socks<\/strong>
\nIt’s always nice to have a backup pair.<\/p>\n

Shoes <\/strong>
\nMany gyms require the use of shoes that haven’t been worn on the street, to keep their equipment clean.<\/p>\n

<\/strong><\/p>\n

Water Bottle<\/strong>
\nLook for a bottle that’s BPA-free or skip the plastic altogether. Klean Kanteen<\/a> stainless steel water bottles come in a range of appealing colors.<\/p>\n

Stopwatch\/Heart Rate Monitor<\/strong><\/p>\n

For exercises that don’t use a machine, it’s nice to be able to time yourself. You can also make sure you’re really pushing yourself by monitoring your heart rate. The Omron HR-100C heart rate monitor<\/a> works particularly well.<\/p>\n

\"Antibacterial<\/a>Antibacterial Wipes<\/strong><\/p>\n

To say germ-free, it’s good to wipe down the part of any gym equipment that you’ll be touching. Travelon Antibacterial wipes<\/a> are both gentle on your skin and biodegradable, plus they come in easy-to-pack packets.
\n
\nBand-aids <\/strong><\/p>\n

Even small cuts that may seem insignificant should be covered when you work out in a shared space.<\/p>\n

Music<\/strong><\/p>\n

Fast-pace music is a great way to get motivated. Check out our awesome playlists for inspiration.<\/p>\n

Lock <\/strong><\/p>\n

Find out if your gym offers locker space. Not all gyms require you to bring your own lock.
\n
\nTravel-size shampoo and body wash and towel<\/strong><\/p>\n

There’s no reason to go home sweaty if you can shower at the gym, but don’t lug around full-sized bottles. You can even refill little bottles to save money. It’s also good to bring a small hand cloth to towel off sweat during your workout.<\/p>\n

Did we leave anything off the list? What do you always bring to the gym?<\/p>\n
