Going to the gym everyday to work out is a great way to lose weight. Many women have found this is the only way that they can lose weight and keep it off. Many gyms no longer give patrons the option of keeping lockers full of personal items longer then one day. This is where the importance of the gym bag comes in. A woman needs to pack her gym bag a bit differently than a man. Follow these steps to pack your bag for the gym so that you can start losing weight today.

Difficulty: Easy
Instructions

Things You'll Need:

  • 1 duffle bag
  • 1 combination lock
  • 1 bottle of water
  • 1 hand towel
  • 1 large bath towel
  • 1 pair of flip flops
  • 1 washcloth
  • 1 hair brush
  • 1 bottle shampoo
  • 1 bottle conditioner
  • 1 bottle body wash
  • Your make-up bag
  • Change of clothes for after the gym

    Let's Head to the Gym

  1. Step 1

    Place your flip flops and shower items into the bag first. This will keep these items from messing up your after workout clothes so that you will look great when you leave the gym.

  2. Step 2

    Load both towels and washcloth into your bag next. Pay attention and leave the hand towel on the top of this so that you can quickly reach for it to take it with you to the gym floor.

  3. Step 3

    Push your make-up bag into the free space at the end of the towels in the duffle bag. This will keep it safely out of the way until after your shower at the gym.

  4. Step 4

    Place your change of clothes as your last layer of the bag that you are packing for the gym. When you get to the locker room you will want to take this out of the bag and neatly fold the clothes and place them on the shelf in your gym locker to keep them from becoming wrinkled.

  5. Step 5

    Place the combination lock for your gym locker in the side pouch on the bag that you are packing to take to the gym. This is for easy acess.

Tips & Warnings
  • If you are planning to head to work after the gym you may need to include a hair dryer in your bag.
  • Optional items to put in if you use them are hair gel and face wash.
  • Do not over pack your bag for the gym. If you do, it will not fit into those tiny gym lockers.
