7 Essentials Everyone Must Have In Their Gym Bag

7 Essentials You Must Have For Your Gym Bag

For some serious lifters and athletes, the gym is the second home. So, their bags have all the essentials they need to make their time in the gym count.

So, here we are with seven essentials you must have in your gym bag.

   1.  Over the ear earphones

A study found out that people who worked out while listening to music were more motivated and fared better in all the exercises.

Music helps you in resisting the pain.

So, a sweat proof, high bass over the ear sets are essential.

    2.  Post workout shake

“Any dumb can get a hard core workout in but the real intelligence lies in recovery.” These are the famous words of Gregg Plitt. Recovery of the broken muscle tissue is crucial for the muscles to grow and your physique to succeed. So always have a whey shake in handy.

   3.  Pre workout formula

A pre workout supplement as important as a post workout shake for bodybuilders.

The amount of muscle fibers you recruit is directly proportional to how much muscle you can gain. The better the workout, the better is the muscle recruitment. The pre workout helps you in getting a great workout in even when you don’t feel like you can give your 100%

   4. A bottle of juice or water

If you don’t sip water through your workout, chances are that you dehydrate your body giving you muscle cramps.

Juice consists of simple sugars i.e. carbohydrates that would help you in powering your workout. Opt for natural juices instead of the tetra packs.

    5. A towel or a clean cloth  

 In an article published in a local daily here, it was written that the major cause of acne on the skin of back and face is due to the germs we pick up at the gym.

Thousands of germs are found on the barbells and the equipment found in the gym, we touch them and wipe our sweat with the same hands increasing the chance of acne.

    6.  Compression sleeves

Arms are the parts involved in the training of many other muscle groups in our body. We use our biceps in the back training and triceps in the chest training. They need rest for recovery. Often over training arms, you cannot train your back and chest to their full potential so compression sleeves can help.

They maintain the hydro static pressure within the muscle and provide the joints in our elbows full support throughout the range of motion. This will keep your joints safe and the soreness at bay. 

   7.  A spray for muscle sprains

Sprains and cramps are the most unwelcome things athletes want. But they are very common in the gymnasium as muscle cramps are inevitable if you don’t have enough liquid. It is quite helpful if you have pain relief spray, gel or a cream in handy. This can reduce the pain enough so that the sufferer can be moved. It is an essential everyone must have.
