3 Workout Essentials That Make Getting Sweaty a Little Better

Whether you're heading to the gym, going to Pilates, getting out for a run or walk, or doing whatever it is you do to move your body, there are a few things that can make the whole experience a little more comfortable.

Nothing particularly technical. No protein powder recommendations or opinions on the best leggings.

Just three genuinely useful workout essentials that we think are worth having on hand.

1. A Cheeky Winx Towel

First up, the humble workout towel. Except these ones aren't particularly humble.

Cheeky Winx towels take something fairly boring and make it considerably more fun, with colourful designs that are very easy to spot amongst a sea of black activewear.

Available in different sizes, they're perfect for taking to the gym, Pilates, yoga or anywhere else you're planning to get a bit sweaty.

And having an actual dedicated workout towel means you can leave the bathroom towels where they belong.

Perfect for: gym workouts, Pilates, yoga, group fitness and anyone who appreciates their practical things having a bit of personality.

2. Skoop Pitt Stop Natural Deodorant

If there's one time you're going to put a deodorant through its paces, it's when you're working out.

Skoop Pitt Stop Natural Deodorant is an easy addition to your workout bag, particularly if you're looking for a natural deodorant option.

Keep it on hand for before or after exercise, or for those days when you're squeezing some movement somewhere between work, school runs, errands and everything else life has going on.

Because finishing a workout feeling accomplished is great. Finishing it wondering whether everyone around you can smell you is less so.

3. Skoop Skin Shield Anti-Chafe Balm

We need to talk about chafing.

Not glamorous. Not particularly fun. But if you've experienced it while running, walking or working out, you know how quickly a tiny bit of rubbing can become VERY annoying.

Skoop Skin Shield Anti-Chafe Balm is designed to help protect areas of skin prone to friction and rubbing.

Think thighs, underarms, sports bra lines and other high-friction areas. Pop it on before you exercise and get on with whatever you've got planned.

It's particularly handy for runners and walkers, but just as useful for gym sessions, workouts, long days on your feet or warmer weather.

Basically, if skin rubbing against skin has ever ruined an otherwise perfectly good day, this one is worth knowing about.

Workout Essentials Worth Keeping On Hand

You don't need a million things to be prepared for a workout. A few basics will do the job:

• Water bottle
• Workout towel
• Natural deodorant
• Anti-chafe balm
• Headphones
• Hair ties or clips
• Clean socks
• Whatever else makes getting out the door easier

Whether you're a gym regular, Pilates person, runner, walker, yogi or just someone trying to move your body a little more, these are three simple things that can make it more comfortable (and a little more fun).
