Five Things to Stock in your Gym Bag

Five Things to Stock in your Gym Bag

1

Comfy cool.

Professional athletes and occasional gym rats both keep their tootsies dry in these superior socks. The polyester-nylon blend wicks away sweat but feels deceptively like a plush cotton sock, with defined arch support for a quality fit. With a rainbow of hues and sizes for children and adults, you can get them for the whole family.

Nike Elite Crew Sock, $14, Fromuth Tennis, 1100 Rocky Drive, West Lawn, 800.523.8414. fromuthtennis.com

2

Liter leader.

It's easy to stay hydrated when you're toting 40 ounces of H2O in a bottle that keeps it ice cold for 24 hours (and stainless steel that insulates hot drinks for 12). Size down if you prefer the optional sport cap for one-handed hydration like a pro, but this one is large enough to keep you going long after your workout.

Hydroflask 40-ounce stainless steel water bottle, $34.99, East Ridge Outfitters, 8477 Allentown Pike, Blandon, 610.916.0777. eastridgeoutfitters.com

3

Cushioned conqueror.

The right shoes are essential for getting the most out of your workout and feeling your best afterwards, and these beauties don't skimp on efficiency or sacrifice style. A seamless, breathable upper traces the contours of your feet and is complemented by a unique water drainage system for all-weather workouts. Your feet will thank you.

Hoka One One Conquest, $170, A Running Start, 705 Penn Avenue, West Reading, 610.320.9097. arunningstart.biz

4

Count on it.

Instead of staring at the treadmill screen, clip on this little meter and lose yourself in your workout bliss. The step counter shows calories burned and tracks your miles so you don't have to. And it's so petite you may want to wear it all day to see how far you've traveled.

CW Multifunction Pedometer, $5, Colonial Fitness Center, Route 724, Sinking Spring, 610.777.7801. chbsports.com

5

Motivating mantra.

Slog through a particularly difficult routine with help from this inspirational tee. Regular workouts get results, but sometimes we need a little reminder just to get us out of bed and into the fitness center. Let this comfy jersey tee, in 17 colors, be your guide.

Custom tee, $30, 5th Street Powerhouse, 5306 Allentown Pike, Temple, 484.955.6222. 5thstreetpowerhouse.com
