5 Gym Essentials you MUST have before you Join one

Joining the Gym!! Ghosh! That is one BIG move towards fitness, and equally overwhelming too. More than the pain of exercises, the pain of going and enrolling yourself in one can be a challenge! But once you have made up your mind, it does seem a lot sorted! But before you join any gym, there are some gym essentials that you must have with you – the shoes, the outfit is not all. Read on to know more:

Gym Essentials you MUST have before you enroll into one:

1. Outfit:

Well, If you are on the higher side of the scale, the outfit part will haunt you! (it did haunt me for sure). But the easiest way out is to not focus on the fashion part. Pick something that is not too loose, as loose clothing may hamper your workout. Pick something comfortable, and with no loose ends or frills. A simple cotton or hosiery Track pants & a Tee work just great!

2. Sports Shoes

Often ignored, Sports shoes are THE-MOST-ESSENTIAL items you must have if you intend to exercise. Whether you need them for running, or for a firm grip when exercising in the Gym, either ways, a comfortable and flexible pair of sports shoes is your best friend. Select a shoe that seems durable and is lightweight. There is also a crazy amount of variety available in the market – so choose the one that fits your style and your budget! These gym essentials can be hazardous for health if ignored.

3. Sipper

The next on our list of gym essentials is a sipper. As underrated as the need for sippers is, a free flowing sipper is your buddy as well as a style statement. It is a well-established fact that one needs to stay hydrated during their work out session. A sipper, as compared to a bottle, allows you to sip water slowly, instead of gulping down quickly. This helps to hydrate your body, without dropping your body temperature too much. The heat generated during work outs is essential to continue with the rest of the day, and gulping large amounts of water in-between your workout can cause more harm than good.

4. A Hand Towel

Where there is work out, there is sweat. And to wipe those precious post-workout drops of sweat you must have a hand towel handy. Any hand towel, with a soft fur and good absorbency, should become your best buddy! Always keep a pack of 3 or more handy, so you can change one every day and have enough pieces to rotate before you could wash and dry your laundry. Multiples of these Gym essentials is recommended.

5. A Gym Bag

Ok, now this one, I could have lied – this is not an essential for the workout per se – but when you are hitting the gym, might as well do it with style. A Gym Bag is any day better than carrying your hand towel, spare set of clothes and all of that in a plastic bag! (D’oh! No No!!)From really funky to absolutely classy – your Gym bag speaks of your personality. Flaunt a cool one at the Gym and well – it also carries all your other gym essentials in it. So it’s a win-win!!
