5 gym bag essentials for post COVID-19 workout

Home exercising is fine but if you are itching to head back into the motivating atmosphere a gym provides, make sure you are carrying the five must-have essentials that have become a necessity especially after COVID-19. After all, a big room filled with sweaty people breathing heavily won’t be considered normal anymore.

Here’s your guide to sweat out stress-free 

Hand sanitizer: A must-have item in our bags after coronavirus, a hand sanitizer is the need of the hour. Take out the bottle whenever you want and squeeze a little on when you start exercising to protect others and repeat on the way back to your car. 

Sanitizing wipes: Using wipes on communal equipment was a practice before COVID-19 and we’re guessing it’s going to stick around even more after the pandemic.

Your own towel: Before COVID-19, it was optional because we all knew that gym towels are properly washed and sanitized but now you don’t want to take that risk right? Post-pandemic time is all about taking extra care as it may feel uncomfortable to use a towel that countless other strangers have also dabbed themselves with. 

Your own mat: The same rule applies here too

Headband: It’s always a great idea to minimize the number of bodily fluids you’re expelling from your body, especially after a pandemic and that’s why the role of headbands is very important.
