My son and DIL gave me an early Christmas present of a pretty green gym bag. I can't wait to use it.

What essential things are in your gym bag?

Namaste, Kristine.

    I don't have much in mine as I always go home after for a shower. On the rare occasion that I take a shower there I take a towel and clean clothes of course.

    All I have is my gym membership card, my ipod, some change, a bottle to fill up with water and my mobile phone.

    I have not figured out how to keep the gloves from getting nasty inside... I'm almost ready to buy a new pair! God forbid that I forget my gloves when I go to class and have to borrow a pair from the gym... they reek so bad, it makes me want to scrub off all my skin!
