The set contains a large, medium and small-sized self-drying towels which can easily fit into a gym bag. These very soft towels are available in three masculine colours.
3. Gym Bag – Adidas Defender III Duffel Bag
Fitness bros naturally carry a bag to the gym. A gym bag, like this Adidas Defender III Duffel bag, should be large enough to hold a towel, water bottle, workout shoes, a tee, gloves, earphones, workout pants and sometimes supplements.

Having all the gym necessities in one place such as a dedicated gym bag is a great way to be prepared for a workout at the start or end of the day. Not sure what to carry in a gym bag? Check out these gym bag essentials for women.
4. Wireless Sports Headphones- SENSO Bluetooth Headphones
There is a good reason manufacturers are doing away with cord sports headphones. Cables are annoying when you are in the middle of a good run, or weightlifting session. Cables fray, they get it the way of a workout, and they tangle.
Almost everyone is now using wireless headphones because they make their lives easier and people are now able to do more with their hands.
Plus, Bluetooth headphones have better sound quality, look way cooler than coded ones and importantly, are more affordable than when they were just introduced on the market. Bluetooth headphones are the best fitness gifts for men who enjoy running, cycling or working out with music.

The bladder has a small hose attached for sipping water.
Hydration packs are not only limited to storing liquids- they are fitted with extra pockets which can be used to store essentials like keys, sunscreen, bank cards, pepper spray or a cellphone.

Some men love building muscle while others don’t. Regardless of their goals, fit men and those wishing to start exercising regularly will tell you that they would appreciate a workout plan that actually yields results.
Finding a gym workout routine that delivers on its promise is a tough mission. That is because we are living in a digital world where every corner you look, a fitness coach and their cousin is trying to sell a ‘customised workout plan’ which hasn’t been thought through well enough.
