My Top 10 Gym Bag Items

Here’s what you can find fueling my workouts in the gym these days….

1. Saucony PowerGrid Triumph 9’s— The ultimate ‘cushioning’ shoe. Great for plyo work and cardio.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

2. Lifting gloves. Gotta keep the hands callous-free and the mani chip-free!

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

3. Lifting straps. Weak forearms reducing the load you can take for larger muscle groups? Use these! Especially great for lat pulldowns, barbell rows, and deadlifts.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

4. Lifting belt. Keeps your posture in check and your tummy tucked in tight, even when your muscles start to fatigue.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

5. iPod. Need some motivation to get to the gym? Try a new workout playlist!

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

6. Workout logbook. A great way to track progress, see where you’ve been, and decide where improvements need to be made!

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

7. GUM! Obviously…..

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

8. Gymboss app on iPhone. A must-have to time rest intervals and keep you go-go-going!

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

9. Rice cakes. A fast-acting carbohydrate to help refill glycogen stores after a tough lift.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

10. Protein packets. Bring on the amino acids to repair those muscles and make them GROW!

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

What’s in YOUR gym bag?

Keep trainin’ hard all!
