    - unpickable bike-lock
    - bike lights

    - water-bottle
    - towel
    - weight-lifting gloves
    - sports clothes (shorts, shirts, shoes)

    If I am going to do cardio exercises:
    - smartphone + headphones
    - HRM
    - self created flashcards to skip through (yep, studying while exercising is a great thing!)

    that's it...

    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.

    I know what they're there for but...

    a) I use a race number belt cos I don't like piercing my kit
    and
    b) I wouldn't take my whole gym bag with me when I'm racing! :huh:

    This is part of why I work out at home now. I don't like carrying all that stuff around. Now, I have the whole house at my disposal. I have all the water I can drink, tons of towels, all my equipment is clean, I have all the toiletries you can think of, and tons of clean socks. :)

    Usually I just bring myself, my ipod and a bottle of water
    if I'm going swimming i'll bring a towel,swimming costume and goggles. I hate communal showers so i'll usually just have a shower the minute I get home.
    I bought my hair straighteners to the gym before but that was when I was in college and used to pop to the gym on my free's , I used to have like a 4 hour free on a monday and the college I went to was like an hour and 15 minutes from my house so even though I had a free bus pass there was no point going home because i'd just have to head back in an hour.
    So i used to go the gym but my hair would get super messy so i was like 'hey i'll bring my straightners, and my makeup' because make up+ sweaty me doesn't go well together.
