The Ultimate List of What Should Really be in Your Gym Bag

The Ultimate List of What Should Really be in Your Gym Bag

I know I have been to the gym a thousand times and realized I had forgotten something or packed something that was just a complete waste of space and it really annoyed me at how many times I would do this! The majority of the time I would actually just over pack my bag and then it would be way too annoying, bulky, or heavy to even carry into the gym honestly or I would try to find something only to have to dig forever it seemed like and then realize I left it and had to head back home. If I headed back home, I would never go back to the gym I would just say that I would go the next day or some other lame excuse because really I used all of my energy going back home!
