I LOVE nothing more than to workout! Between swimming, cycling, weight lifting and now teaching swim lessons, I need a lot of stuff. But lately, my gym bag has turned into the never ending abyss. Honestly I have no idea how some things make their way into my gym bag.
It's true my fitness loves are a little high maintenance. They require a lot more gear than your average runner. Flip flops, kick board, towel, swimsuit, goggles, cycle shoes, oh my! It always seems as though I get to the gym and I'm missing something. And there's nothing worst than getting to the gym, ready to get your sweat on only to realize you're missing a tampon, socks (<- happens to me all the time), water or heaven forbid headphones.
Everyone needs a gym bag with the right essentials to make the most of their workouts. To get myself organized, I bought a small organizer bag that I could easily take in and out of my abyss of a gym bag. I place my smaller necessities in my organizer bag along with the new Extra® 35-stick pack I found at Walgreens.
I like chewing gum when I'm lifting weights and with the larger packs I don't have to worry about running out which means I can get more out of every workout! #GiveExtraGetExtra
The only problem is choosing a flavor. Extra® Gum Spearmint or Extra® Gum Polar Ice®? It's a tough call so I put them both in my bag!

How do you get more out of your workouts?
Love this list for gym bag, give me ideas to include things.
I keep gum pretty much everywhere. I LOVE these durable packs because everything ends up crushed at the bottom of my bag! #client
Oh yes, I love having gum on hand before and after a workout. The fresh mint flavor gives me a little energy boost!
It really does. Hope you have a good Monday Sarah!
You gota have gum after you get out of the pool Ugh I hate chlorine mouth!
HA! Never thought about that, but I'll be sure to have gum anytime I'm around a pool and you.
I love how the gum in is a harder case, because my packs always fall apart and then scatter, ha!
You're right. I didn't think about that, but my gum package always gets wet from a water bottle and falls apart.
I always keep gum in my gym bag, purse or car!
That's a good habit to have!
The Extra Spearmint is my go-to gum! I always have a pack in my car and in my purse!
Me too! It's always in my purse.
