Last year, we were on such a gym hype that we went almost every day. Remaining determined through all the 'new year, new me' stuff and even kept to it going until like the first weekend of December. But, somewhere after it went south for us.
Don’t get us wrong, we're still going on an hour walk at lunchtime and doing sporadic yoga workouts, but we've found it hard to find the motivation to get back through those gym doors.
That means for the last few months, we’ve been wasting membership, that we’ve used maybe once or twice - annoying AF! That's approximately three bottles of Prosecco we've missed out on. And, we decided that had to change...
So we didn’t have the excuse of binge-watching Netflix or seeing our partners as a reason to sack it off. So, we invested in this really pretty cute gym bags and before long, we were back to my old routine, but going more like three to four times a week.
Hands down, having a stylish bag that we could take to work is the best thing we’ve brought all year. No longer did we need to nip home to put my gym gear on, where we'd sometimes find ourselves lounging around on my sofa until it was too late to go.
Now that we've found myself in a nice little routine, we want to help you too. And, we promise you, you can fall in love with the gym again.
All you need to do is take a look at some of the best sports bags. And, remembering to bring it along to work should really help you to stick to it.
