Gym bag must-haves

39465734 - fitness lifestyle of young coupleGetting a good workout is important, but finding the time can be a challenge. Ideally, you’ll have a set time worked into your schedule. But sometimes your day (or week!) won’t go as planned. You can help yourself fit a workout into your daily routine by always being prepared to make the most of a little downtime

This means always having a gym bag packed with these must-haves:

A change of clothes. If you are able to squeeze a workout in during lunch or before a dinner meeting, you’ll want an extra set of clothes. Obviously, you don’t need to keep a suit in your bag, but do keep wrinkle-resistant pants and a top. You should have an extra shirt handy, at the very least.

Cleansing and hygiene products. You might not have time for a shower, but you can still appear fresh. In the event that you can’t hit the shower after your workout, cleansing wipes (baby wipes work great!), deodorant, dry shampoo and a comb or brush are musts.

Your favorite doTERRA essential oils. Just because you don’t want to have to do without them! doTERRA® Deep Blue products are great when you need soothing after an intense workout. Deep Blue® Rub provides a comforting sensation of cooling and warmth. And the Deep Blue® roll-on is perfect to take along for easy application. Essential oils like Eucalyptus can help encourage clear breathing, or you might opt for doTERRA Breathe® Respiratory Blend.

Of course, don’t forget the everyday essentials like a small towel and a water bottle. What a downer to have to skip a workout because you didn’t have these must-haves handy.
