Water Bottle/Other beverage like Gatorade

This one nobody should disagree with. Being well hydrated during any workout is a must so always make sure you have a water bottle or other beverage at your side when you start to get dehydrated. It will keep you healthy and prevent fatigue.

Heart Rate Monitor

This one isn’t absolutely necessary but have a Heart Rate Monitor equipped will let you know when your working hard and when your slacking. Which lets you know if you should be trying harder then you are. If you use it to make sure you keep the heart rate high you’ll know your getting more from working out.

Work Out Gloves

Again this one isn’t necessary for everyone but the majority of people who workout have weight lifting included into it. From personal experience, especially for the male, comes a point where the weight we lift is really heavy which really rips up your hands making your hands jagged and hard. (Tip: Opposite sex will prefer hands that don’t feel like rock) So If your one of the many who weight lifts, gloves are a small investment that go a long way. Been using my gloves nearly a year and they are still in great shape and best yet my hands aren’t messed up at all.

Towel

This one is simple enough but also does great things. Whether you stay home or go to a gym it’s still a good idea to have a towel. A Towel allows you to wipe off sweat and prevent slippage of weights and things like that. Nothing would be worse than trying to bench press a huge amount of weight only to have it slip from your hands from sweaty palms. Also bringing a towel with to the gym allows you to wipe down machines before and after using them, usually gyms have a policy on this.

Music Player

Still it’s a preference but Music always goes a long way. Nothing beats that feeling when your favorite song come on and you start to attack your workouts with increased energy and motivation. Music is such a great motivator that listening to it while working out will more then likely increase your performance to some degree.
