Ingredients: What tools does a beginner in fitness need?

When it comes to fitness I never know what I will do, except to work out. Which is hard to do, because sometimes it feels like I never have the time or I simply don’t want to do it. But I do know that I need to start doing more of it. I decided that I would do this post for beginners who looking for help, since I am. When you are a beginner and you're looking for a couple of things that you need for working out, it is hard because there is not much that people talk about. So here I am. I have made a checklist for all the items that you need for working out. So let's take a peek at what I have for you. 

Journal 

I always keep a journal of what I am doing when It comes to working out. It is simple and also I can keep track of what I eat, which I decided to add to my journal. When keeping a journal, you can always go back and forth on what you have done and also what you accomplished. 

Always drink water / have a water bottle with you

I always drink water when it comes to working out and I always have to have a pretty water bottle with me, because I tend to drink more water if I do. Yes, it is weird, and also who I am. 

Exercise Mat / Yoga Mat

I have a Yoga Mat because I do workout at home and I tend to use it when I am on the floor when working out. So only have one if you are working out at home or if you are planning on doing some of your workouts at home. 

Dumb Bells

I also used these, I think it helps with the arms. My dumbbells are 2 lbs or 5 lbs. You can get it anyways. I got mine at Five Below, for $5.00 apiece. 

Workout gear 

I am the girl that is known for working out in her capris. I never wore shorts.  I always wear a cute tank top. So figure out what type of workout gear you want and go from there. 

Workout shoes

I always wear whatever tennis I have. There is no right or wrong to what tennis to wear. 

Pre-Workout drink

This is something that is up to you to drink. I never drink anything other than water.
