Your body can stand almost anything. It’s your mind that you have to convince.

Hey loves,

Welcome back to Joi’s Journey of Perception. Today I want to talk about the things I keep in my gym bag. Like my purse, I make sure I have everything that I need. I usually go to the gym between work, meetings, or other business. So, I need to make sure that I am prepared. Below you will find the list of things that I keep and links to few of my favorite stores.

Water Bottle

Everyone should know to stay hydrated. For me, I find myself drinking even more water when its from a cute bottle. Remember to try to stay away from plastic bottles.

Resistance Bands

There is nothing like knowing you’re doing what you can to help your muscles grow. Let’s grow that booty.

Gym Shoes

I am a sucker for Nike. I honestly should be a spokesperson because that is all that’s in my closet. Be sure to find some cute, and form fitting gym shoes.

Protein Bar

Protein is important when it comes to growing your muscle. I always keep a protein bar on me. If I forget, they sell them at my gym.

Train like a beast, look like a beauty.

Yoga Mat

My yoga mat reminds me of the ocean. Besides yoga, I keep mine so that I do not have to be on the nasty floor when doing floor workouts.

Ankle Weights

These make the workout more intense. More gains love.

Weighted Jump Rope

If the weather is nice sometimes I like to do my cardio outside. So, I like to keep one with me.

Shower Necessities

Like I said, sometimes I workout in between important adulting, so I need to get cute after. I’m always prepared.

Preworkout

Think of Pre-workout like tequila for the gym. Enough said.
