Whether you’re a seasoned fitness enthusiast or just starting your workout journey, having a well-prepared gym bag can make all the difference. From pre-workout essentials to post-exercise recovery, the right items can help you maximize your performance and make your gym experience more enjoyable. In this blog, we’ll highlight three must-have products that should always be in your gym bag.
1. A snack bar that fills you up pre workout!
Grab the Gold: Grab the Gold can provide you with instant and sustained energy so you can make it through your workout but also avoid that afternoon slump. You can focus on the task at hand but also know that you will have hours of clean energy ahead of you. Grab the Gold snack bars are packed with naturally gluten-free, plant based protein, and works to satisfy hunger and cravings. A PERFECT pre-workout (or post workout) snack.
2. A recovery tool to keep your muscles loose!
Tiger Tail USA: The Tiger Tail Original 11″ Portable Foam Roller Massage Stick is Tiger Tail’s most convenient travel size, and will easily fit in your gym bag! After a workout, this tool is great for both upper and lower body work. You can massage and work out any muscle knots in all different muscle groups – neck, shoulders, arms, hamstrings, glutes, quads, and more – perfect for that recovery after your full body workout. Pro Tip…Shoulder massages feel best with a buddy helping you, and this tool can be used as a fantastic foot massager!
3. A hydration multiplier to replenish what you lost!
Liquid I.V: Hydration builds vitality for mental clarity, physical endurance, and overall well being—the foundation to feeling our very best – which is WHY we need to replenish that hydration when we sweat during a hard workout. Your body is about 60% to 70% water, and when you are dehydrated, your body is imbalanced. On average, Americans drink around HALF of the recommended amount of water and when you sweat during a workout, you lose sodium – an electrolyte you need. Liquid I.V does a great job of providing multiple hydration supplements that fit your lifestyle – hydration + immune support, sugar free hydration, hydration + energy, and they even have one for kids. And…. All you have to do is add water. So, this hydration recovery tool will fit perfectly in your gym bag!
