These are the “bags” I’ve put together to help me get out the door to the gym faster while not forgetting anything essential. (Now if I can just remember to take the bag…)

Swimming Bag

• Swim goggles (I have prescription ones – makes a huge difference)
• Swim cap
• Nose clip (I hate getting water up my nose)
• Towel
• Swimsuit
• Flipflops
• Lock and key for the locker
• Labrada Rock n Roll bar for post workout nutrition (I cut it into 4 pieces)

Weight Lifting and Kickboxing Bag

• Hand towel
• Workout gloves
• kickboxing gloves
• Hand wraps
• Labrada Rock n Roll bar for post workout nutrition (I cut it into 4 pieces)

Running Bag

I don’t always take a bag when I run, but it is nice to have everything gathered so I don’t get 1/4 mile away and realize I forgot something:

• Running shoes
• Heart Rate monitor (I use a garmin 305 and keep it plugged in because it drains fast)
• Chest strap for the heart rate monitor
• Nathan labs water bottle (has insulation and a gripping handle)
• MP3 player (and a spare battery)
• Headphones
• Headband (keeps the headphones in and the sweat out of my eyes)
• Chapstick
• Sunscreen stick

Biking Bag

My bike bag is attached to my bike so I leave it packed at all times:

• Spare tire
• CO2 cartridges
• Sunscreen stick
• Chapstick
• Bike lock and chain
• Labrada Rock n Roll bar (cut it into 4 pieces)
• Bike water bottle
• Sunglasses
• Take look mirror (hooks on my glasses temple)
• Helmet
• Padded bike shorts

Then all I have to do is get dressed and refill my water bottle and I can run out the door.

Work Clothes Bag

On days when I walk or bike to work, I need to shower and change at work:

• Shampoo
• Soap
• Deodorant
• Towel
• Comb
• Lotion
• Underwear
• Clothes
• Work Shoes
