Happy Wednesday My Sweet Friends!

We have all seen those "What's in My Purse?" or "What's in My Backpack?" videos floating around and for what ever reason we are all curious to know! Why? I have no idea but today I figured I would share with you, what is in my gym bag, or in my case, gym backpack.

Working in a gym and being a student, I am always on the go. My school backpack also functions as my work backpack and workout backpack. I am constantly taking things in and out of it. But for the most part, some items are always there.

So let's get to it!

First off, we should probably start with my backpack itself. I got mine from Under Armour and I love it! It is super comfortable and water-resistant... which is necessary in Texas.

Shaker Cup(s)- I usually have two on me, one for my pre-workout and another for my water or protein shake.
Pre-workout- I like Amino Energy, which is basically caffeinated BCAAs. My favorite flavors are: Watermelon, Grape, and Blueberry Mojito!
Protein Powder- for my post-workout. I like Vega Chocolate and Greens.
Protein Bars- this usually varies from time to time but my favorites are Power Crunch or Oh Yeah! Bars.
Glutamine- to help with muscle soreness and recovery.
Headphones- because working out without them is not possible.
Phone Arm Band- this is pretty self-explanatory. I got mine off Amazon :)
Wallet- gotta have your license!
Toiletries- like dry shampoo! Usually, I don't shower at the gym. I would rather do it at home but dry shampoo is a must.
Tampons- you never know ladies, you never know.
Baby wipes- great for a quick wipe down after a workout.
Body spray- um, always. I love Elizabeth Arden's Green Tea spray. It is so refreshing!
Deodorant- be a friend and use it!
Hand-sanitizer- Germs, germs, germs everywhere!
Flip flops- For the shower or the pool.
Extra set of clothes- usually my work uniform but sometimes not.
Socks- my favorite are made by Under Armour.
Undies- duh.
Hat- Love ball caps, especially when I am working out. It is kind of like having blinders on, it helps you focus. But it is also great to have one after swimming laps in the pool and my hair is wet.
Swimsuit- for swimming laps on Sundays
Towel- For the pool or showering.
Gum- I am an addict, what can I say?
Lock- Finally, a lock. For a sound mind :)
