Now that the weather is cooling down & we’ve turned the corner into fall, it’s becoming less likely that I get my workout in outside. With the sun rising later & setting earlier, it’s hard to get a good amount of time outside during the week. The weather isn’t helping me get my but outside either, so I’ve been hitting the gym!
It’s been pretty hard waking up early with no sunshine but I’ve been trying to get to cycling at 5.45a but if I sleep in, I’ve been hitting the gym right after work to get my steps in on the treadmill!
Here’s what I keep in my gym bag for early mornings when I don’t want to think or straight from work when I need everything important on me to get a decent work out in!
1. Sneakers: the right sneakers…I wear Vans & Adidas classics to work but they aren’t ideal for walking on a treadmill or riding a spin bike! Although, it doesn’t matter when I hit my m=Monday evening yoga class…no shoes no problem!
2. Water Bottle: gotta stay hydrated at all times!
3. Clothes: if I go straight from work I have to change in the gym locker room or the bathroom at work!
4. Business Cards: you never know when you’re gonna meet someone looking for your business!
5. Sports Bra: I usually wear a sports bra to work because I wear a polo and I can but other times I wear a regular bra & need to change at the gym or in the bathroom at work!
6. Booty Bands: because squats!
7. Ankle Weights: I love getting my 10k steps in a day & these are an amazing little boost to my walk!
8. Jacket: I’m so used to running out of the house in just a tank top, this comes in handy quite a few mornings & evenings when I change from my work sweater & forget a hoodie/jacket!
9. Ponytails: Rarely do I wear my hair down but when I do, I always forget a hair tie. I don’t wear them on my wrist because I hate the way they feel!
10. Face wipes: I don’t usually wear make up to work but when I do I don’t want to wear it while I’m sweating!
I don’t usually bring deodorant or spray to the gym because I always go home right after I’m done to shower!
Happy Friday!
That’s all…xxTay!
