Success Tip: The Gadget Bag

I realize I'm being a tad bit presumptuous calling this a "success tip", but you get the idea...

It's winter. I'm busy. Why does it matter? Because I need to have my exercise gadgets around me all the time to make sure I can get in a workout. Yeah, sure, I can exercise without these things, but it's so much more AWESOME when I can rock out to some Enrique or Motley Crue (diverse tastes, much?) while I'm running the stairs or walking the halls.

Enter, my gadget bag, as I like to call it. 

In it, we have my ipod with armband and headphones, polar monitor, and chest strap. Ready to go! Now, I don't have to worry about my electronics getting all funked up by the cold temps whilst sitting in my car all day, and I have zero excuse for not working out during the day. It's all kept nice and neat and untangly in my purse because I keep it in this little zippered pouch.

This came in handy today when I needed to get in my stair workout at lunch. Holy crap, it was hard. But I got my stats, and I had my music, so it really wasn't that hard. I may be singing a different tune tomorrow when I have jelly-legs. And tomorrow is strength day again. Yikes!

Whatever gets you out there, motivated and doing it. Kudos for your lunchtime workout!

It's great that you're working out during lunch. Wish I could do it too but there's no shower and I sweat way too much when I start moving.

I need a precious little bag. I was just thinking that I wish I could convince more people to invest in a good heartrate monitor. It really pushes me to work harder.

Great idea! I'm constantly searching for my watch, and MP3, and other crap in the bottomless pit I call my suitcase....i mean my purse.
