    Skip the book (you'll work out harder), and do you really need the extra workout clothes? You're worse than a girl!! lol I go straight home 9/10 times so I only need the necessities.

    To gym I bring:
    ipod and headphones
    Gym ID/student card
    water bottle
    HRM watch
    (Protein & carbs, & shower/changing stuff for after if I'm not going straight home)

    If I'm going for a swim:
    suit
    large towel
    goggles
    cap & back up cap
    water bottle
    kick board
    (protein & carbs, & shower/changing stuff for after if I'm not going straight home)

    The book actually gets me to work out longer. I walk one day and read, and then run the next and lift (sans book).

    I guess it's to each their own right? I even find the TVs distracting! Maybe once a year I'll plug my headphones into the TVs on the cardio machines, otherwise it's just me & 1 earbud in my ear (I like to hear my breathing and the ppl around me, I'm odd that way).

    I go right after work so I have my protein shake powder in a mixing cup in the car along with a water bottle. ( I hope the 20 degree temps does not leave me with an ice cube!) I also lock my wallet and phone in the car when I go into the gym so my bag is pretty light...

    Shorts
    T-shirt
    Sneakers
    Headphones
    The stinkiest sweatshirt you will ever find...

    - hand towel for sweat
    - gym outfit (pants, shirt, sports bra)
    - gym shoes
    - hair brush
    - ponytail holder
    - water bottle
    - ipod

    I also have spinning shoes, but those stay in the car in their own box since I only use them once a week.

    The cell phone doesn't come in with me because I wouldn't be able to talk on it/wouldn't want to talk on it, anyway......

    (I also shower at home.)

    I don't usually take a gym bag.. Maybe I should start bringing a bag of stuff with me to work so I can go straight to the gym after work instead of getting home to "change" and letting the laziness get the best of me.. GOOD POST!!!! Way to get me thinking!

    If I were to have a gym bag this is what it would contain:

    Running Shoes
    Socks
    Workout Clothes
    Water Bottle
    Towel

    I shower at home so no shower essentials for this girl!!!

    lol i was thinking the same thing. Also that the bag must be either very large and heavy, or he is very tiny and could fit in her pocket! :-)

    Wow... so I am feeling like I need to put more stuff in my bag. Some of the stuff that is in there is only there because I used the bag on the last vacation I went on and decided it would be useful at the gym too...lol

    I have the clothes that I am going to wear that day at the gym, as well as the shoes and socks.

    Deoderant and perfume.
    There are earbuds in there but I rarely use them.

    I think that is it. I wear my bodybugg the days I am going to the gym so it doesn't need to be in the bag.

    Safety Pins-cmon runners you KNOW you have em
    ok i have to know....what's the safety pins for??? and why would a runner deny having them?

    I don't know why she has them, but I'm a runner and I have safety pins in my gym bag because they're left over from races. They give you safety pins to attach your race number to your clothes. After a race I usually just take my number off and throw everything in my gym bag...hence the safty pins.
