There are times of the year when the registration of new users in the Gyms they are outrageous. After Christmas, at the end of the summer or just before the holidays, many people join the gym, but they only do that. To start specific plans to lose weight or tone our body, with a registration it is not worth it alone, but we will need a decent equipment for physical activity. Today we explain what is necessary:
1. Sports shoes, two pairs
Do not panic. We're not talking about splurging on two pairs of high-quality shoes, but we are talking about changing shoes when you get out of your training routine. It will not be good to wear only one because of sweating, and because feet swell after a great effort to wear the same shoes back home. Thus, he buys good sneakers without skimping, and also, wears some sneakers or similar that are comfortable for the return.
2. A battle backpack
In this case, again, do not look for beauty, but the comfort. Many like backpacks because they are more stylish, but instead they carry a huge weight without compensating on one shoulder. Our advice is to get one backpack of at least 15 or 20 liters capacity. In it you will take changes of clothes, an extra pair of shoes, a towel, a water can... In short, many things that take up space. It is better that there are pockets left over than not enough.
3. A small hand towel
This directly in many gyms it is an obligation. And it is that how can it be otherwise, in the machines you sweat, and it is not acceptable to leave the machine sweaty for the next one. Take your towel (not excessively large, we are not going to the beach), and it will be your best ally to dry yourself and not stay wet throughout the routine.
4. A large water can
In this, the same as with the backpack. Don't skimp on carrying a liter or liter and a half can. When it's smaller, you'll have to go to the fountain to fill it up, so buy a big one, fill it to the top, and it will serve you throughout your training.
5. Breathable clothing
With a t-shirt, shorts and maybe a thin sweatshirt to heat, it is enough. Remember to avoid 100% cotton as it perspires very little, and opt for materials such as polyester or lycra. On many occasions we ignore clothes, but the goal is not even to think about what we are wearing. A material that does not sweat will be a great enemy in the routine.
6. Some flip flops
Fundamental for the post workout shower, or to enter the sauna or swimming pool if your sports center has one. You never know how many feet have stepped into a gym shower, and fungi and other bacteria easily roam these rooms. With your flip flops you will air your feet for a while after the routine and you will avoid greater evils.
How much do I spend then?
When reading the list, you probably thought that this gym thing is going to be too expensive for you, but nothing is further from the truth. Assuming that you already have the backpack, and in the same way pass with the bottle, the flip-flops or the slippers to return home, the big investment will go into the shoes.
Counting on some decent sneakers for about eighty euros, clothing kit for about 25, And a 10 in the towel and the bottle, for a figure close to 1 euros plus the registration to the gym, you can start exercising right now. Once you try and settle, it will be time for greater investments. To the mess!
