Bags That Will Motivate You to Work Out

5 Bags That Will Motivate You to Work Out<br /><br />This all around gym bag is chock full of compartments to store everything you need for the day and its made from recycled polyester. A zippered section kept my post workout stinky sneaks from contaminating the rest of my clothes. The adjustable padded shoulder strap gave me the flexibility of wearing this tote on my side or across my body depending on how squished my subway ride was. And I kept essential items, like keys and a phone in the external zippered compartment. The interior has four side pockets to hold toiletries and more, while a full length zippered side panel can hold more sweaty clothes, allowing them to breathe through the mesh sections. A small removable shower caddy kept my shower supplies organized and hung nicely on the towel hooks. I liked how the two straps on the sides clip your Pilates or yoga mat next to the bag and prevent it from toppling over when you set the bag down.<br /><br />Originally a favorite of motocross riders and mountain bikers for its hands free hydration system, Camelbak has become a mainstream staple for distance runners, mountain climbers and cyclists alike. Its main feature is a refillable water reservoir with a long straw like mouth piece that makes hydrating throughout a workout easy. The DayStar pack, which holds up to 2 liters of water, was designed to fit the feminine form with a higher sternum belt, a shorter torso and curved shoulder straps. While the hip strap extends to about 50 inches wide, the sternum strap only stretches out to 12 inches from shoulder to shoulder. However, the clip extender could help those who need more room. The pack has two zipped compartments the front has pen holders and a cell phone pouch, the back is big enough for an extra sweatshirt. If hiking isnt for you, check out Camelbaks other options, ranging from lightweight running packs to bags specifically designed for winter sports, all with their clever and unique hydration system. There is nothing better than having clean sweats to pull on after a hard fought game, but not when theyve been thrown in with my sweaty shin guards and practice gloves. Without a good bag, a pleasant after game experience can easily turn into a nightmare for my nose. This Diadora bag has multiple mesh pockets and a large interior compartment, which makes it easy to separate my soiled practice gear from everything else. The mini pocket on the front of the bag also provides a secure place for my extra hair bands and jewelry. Overall, this is a comfortable, high quality bag that provides all the functionality I need to keep my gear clean and organized. Softball players will find this bag a great size and shape for their equipment as well. The zippered front pocket is great for a phone, mini hairbrush, hand lotion and keys. Theres plenty of interior room for a change or two of clothes, pajamas, workout gear, shoes and some extra room in case you go shopping. My wet workout clothes fit into one of the two ventilated compartments but I like to put them in a plastic bag, too, for extra protection. If youre like me and your weekend getaways often involve commuting via trains and buses, youll appreciate the adjustable padded shoulder strap or handles only option on this lightweight bag. The removable cosmetics case and shower caddy are perfect for my makeup and travel size toiletries. When you get home, just wipe the bag with a damp towel to keep it clean.

An end pocket is great for items you want easy access to: keys, business cards and a phone fit nicely.
