5 Workout Accessories You Need This Year

By: Briley Rakow

The New Year has dawned, and with it comes our New Year’s Resolutions we are determined to see come to fruition. For anyone who is committing to a new workout or health goal this year, we have gathered all our favorite workout accessories to keep you motivated and productive in the gym.  

1. Bala Bangles 

These ankle weights are the perfect way to step up your walking routine. Available in either one or two-pound sets, the bangles help strengthen your legs or arms without adding too much difficulty to your exercise. 

2. Resistance Bands

Whether you are working out at home or hitting the gym, resistance bands can help take simple workouts to the next level without needing heavyweights. 

3. Running Belt

For anyone who wants to take their run from the treadmill to the trails without worrying about holding onto your phone, keys or anything else you may need, this running belt is the perfect accessory. It has ample storage space but is also compact and elastic to ensure it stays comfortable during your entire run.

4. Water Bottle 

It may seem obvious, but having a chic water bottle can make all the difference in your daily routine. Insulated water bottles with accessible straws keep your water cold during your entire workout and make it much easier to grab a quick sip while on the move. 

5. Yoga Mat Bag 

Yoga mats are a necessity for many workout routines but can be a hassle to carry in and out of the gym. This bag can hold your mat and any other workout accessories you require, allowing you to keep your things together in a cute and practical way. 

Staying motivated and organized is essential to meeting your workout goals, and sometimes all it takes is a simple accessory to make your gym experience all the more enjoyable. For more health and wellness tips, keep reading on umsquaremagazine.com and follow us on Instagram @um.squaremagazine.
