Certain Things that MUST Be Taken to the Gym

1. Headphones - hopefully your gym has the awesome cardio system that hooks up to the tv's they have on every channel possible except the ones any normal person would watch.

2. iPod - to go with headphones. If your gym doesn't have the cardio system, this would be a necessity to have. If you don't bring this and the gym is sans tv system, headphones would look silly.

3. Sweat Towel - who wants to use the paper towels from the dispenser? It's bad enough your face is red as a cherry and drenched in sweat, but to use a crispy, soft as sandpaper towel to wipe said sweat? no thank you, gym-devil. no thank you.

4. Reading Material - This might be THE most important. Why? your headphones might break and your battery on your iPod may die--even though you charged it this afternoon and it said 'charged' all the way and lasted only 30 measly minutes--before you're finished doing your first cardio machine. This is a travesty.

With these powers combined, you can last, not 20....not 25, nay, THIRTY-FIVE minutes at the gym.
