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
