What should never be missing from your gym bag? Better not one of these 9 things. Here's a little checklist of what to look for before you head to the gym.
You rush off to the studio at the last minute. Your bag is a hodgepodge of all kinds of necessary and not so necessary things. And actually, you don't really know yourself what's flying around in it. "It'll fit!" you think to yourself.
Then you're in class. The top is super comfortable, but constantly gets caught in your arms during Pilates. It sticks to your skin during fitness. Or it pinches while you're trying to breathe in some relaxation in the dog looking down.
And of course your hair flies through your face and sticks to your dry lips. Unfortunately, you forgot your hair tie and water bottle. But you brought an 800-page novel and 27 bobby pins, which don't help tame your hair either.
9 things that should never be missing from your gym bag
To avoid chaos on the mat, we have compiled a small checklist for you. Take these parts with you to the studio and you can concentrate on the training to the maximum. :)
Do you already go to the gym in sports clothes? Then make sure that you take a change of clothes with you. If you have to go home in your sweaty clothes after the workout, you quickly risk catching a cold.
1. the right sports bra
No matter what sport you play or what cup size you are blessed with. Make sure that everything stays where it belongs. So you can approach your workout relaxed without having to catch the girls again all the time. :)
We are fond of the pretty sports bra from Women's Best. Maybe you already know it from our outfit of the month series. :) He offers strong support, fits snugly and is really comfortable. And is suitable for any sport!

2. the right training top
Remember the dilemma from above? The right training top is super important so that you can work out undisturbed. Constant pulling and pinching is totally annoying and just disturbs.
Depending on whether you go running, do yoga or lift weights. An absolute all-rounder is the top from Puma. It gives you freedom of movement and still has a good fit. And sweat stains? Missing!
3. the right sports pants
Nothing should slip, nothing pinch and of course be opaque. If it then also looks chic and conjures up a crisp buttocks. Then the workout, the yoga session or the run goes virtually by itself. Not true? :)
We find the short sports pants from Women's Best really great. Through the seam, the buttocks already looks trained, before you have even started with the sport. The pants sit lightly on the skin and also does not constrict the abdomen. Depending on the season, there is a long and a short version :)

4. on cloud 7 with the right footwear
Here, too, the demands are of course totally different. Anyone looking for really great running shoes should take a look here: Over hill and dale with the new running shoe On Cloudflow.
For all fitness lovers, we have found another beauty that should not be missing in your gym bag! The really chic shoe from Nike Free 5.0. Super comfortable to wear and available in damn cool colors.

5. hair ties for workout mane
Hair ties are always lying around everywhere. Unless you need them urgently. For example, during a workout. While the bobby pins slip out of every crack, you look for something to tie your hair back in vain.
That's why you should always have something with you. By the way, invisibobble hair elastics are non-slip. They keep the hair out of the face without leaving an unsightly kink afterwards. We like the unicorn version. So it sportelt but equal to 3 times as good ;)

6. a water bottle for training
Of course, one thing above all applies during training: You have to drink, drink, drink! Because everyone sweats during sports and thus loses fluid. In order for the body to regenerate, the cells need water.
We think the 720Degree water bottle is really great. On the one hand, it looks really cool. On the other hand, it is durable, free of taste-altering materials and even has a strainer for fruit. Of course, the gem is also sustainable.

7. two towels for hygiene
Whether you're lifting weights, standing on the treadmill, or sweating on the mat during yoga, a towel is an absolute must when working out! You should also have a separate shower towel with you to freshen up right away.
We have found these towels from Teezo. You get two different sizes and are perfectly equipped for the next training session. They are super soft, absorbent and quick drying.
8. a brush for the hair
After the workout, especially after the shower, the hair is crisscrossed and messed up. To become master of the situation again, it is a must to have a good hairbrush with you.
Here we rely on the ever-popular Tangle Teezer. The little wonder weapon lies well in the hand, unknots the hair painlessly. It prevents split ends and gives the hair a beautiful shine. And of course it fits in any sports bag.
9. deodorant for the good feeling after the workout
Are you one of those people who never leave the house without deodorant? After all, you always feel fresher. And ready for life outside ;) But instead of reaching for conventional deodorant, make your own quite simply.
This is not so difficult and has quite a few advantages. For example, you avoid ingredients that are suspected of promoting breast cancer. How does it work? You can see here: Make your own deodorant with only 6 ingredients and our instructions.
Our conclusion:
"Tidiness is half the battle" - is a pretty terrible saying, but it is very true, especially when it comes to sports. If you have the right things in your gym bag, you'll be able to work out much more productively and effectively. If you follow our checklist, you won't forget the most important parts in the future. :)
