What’s In My Gym Bag: Holly Perkins, Women’s Strength Expert
We’re taking a peek inside our favorite health and fitness experts’ gym bags to uncover their must-have gear and favorite products.
Name: Holly Perkins, CSCS, founder of Women’s Strength Nation and author of Lift to Get Lean
My workout: My favorite workout is strength training of any kind, but I really love a good back workout. I lift weights four days per week at Easton Gym Co. in Hollywood. I round out my routine with 175 minutes of varied cardio (total) per week, plus trail running and yoga.
What’s in my gym bag:
Jabra Sport Pulse Wireless Ear Buds, because music takes me to another realm during my workout!
New Balance 811s are the perfect combo of support and comfort. Plus, they have a nearly flat heel that’s perfect for squats!
The New Balance Psyche Bra is comfortable, looks amazing, and shapes me nicely!
SPRI resistance bands are the industry standard in resistance bands. They never break, and always provide consistent resistance.
Promax Pro Series bar (that I created!) — it’s the perfect fuel for every workout!
I always monitor my heart rate during cardio workouts with my New Balance heart rate monitor.
Mio Clean Slate body and face wipes. Ahhhhhh, an amazing wipe that smells and feels incredible, and is good for skin.
Aloe Gloe hydration water is so refreshing. Sometimes I really want something more substantial and hydrating than water, but coconut water is too sweet for me.
Stones: Rose quartz (to remind me to support myself), lepidolite (calms frayed nerves), and labradorite (to create magic!).
