The first visit to the gym is a responsible business, in which not only the choice of a sports facility is important, but also what and with what will have to be engaged in it. Therefore, it is worthwhile to correctly figure out what is needed for the gym.
It is worth starting with what you have to do in the gym. This can be strength exercises with a barbell, dumbbells and other equipment, or athletics, shaping, fitness, or something else. The equipment of the person involved in it depends on the purpose of visiting the gym.
The minimum set that you need to take with you includes sportswear, drinks, a towel, sports shoes. If the equipment is old, then protective gloves may be needed to protect the palms of the hands from unnecessary blisters.
Sportswear should never hinder movement during exercise. When doing weightlifting, the form should be free, light in weight. What matters is what material it is made of. It is best to use cotton fabric. When practicing athletics, fitness and shaping, it is best to use a form-fitting, but not tight-fitting form. If you are planning a long stay in the gym, then you can take a spare kit.
It is best to use plain water as a drink. During exercise, sweating is accelerated many times, which contributes to dehydration. Therefore, regular drinking during exercise is one of the keys to competent training. After classes, you can drink juice with a high content of vitamin C. This will restore the acid balance in the body in a short time.
The towel should be terry to absorb moisture and sweat quickly. During training, there is nothing wrong with wanting to wipe sweat from your forehead. If the gym comes with a shower, then you can take two towels to dry your body thoroughly after a shower with the second. You can also take slippers with you if you are not completely sure that the sanitation in the shower is at an adequate level.
Special requirements are imposed on sports shoes: they must be loose, comfortable, feet must not sweat in them. For weightlifting, one more thing is added to these requirements - a slightly extended sole.
There are no clear requirements for a sports bag. First of all, you need to pay attention to the material, it must be breathable in order to freely evaporate moisture from the inside. And, of course, the bag should be roomy in order to freely place all the equipment.
