My favourite fitness accessories

Like many of you, I've resolved to visit the gym more often again in 2017. First step: update my fitness equipment! Here I show you my new favourite pieces.
Drinking bottle
As a notoriously light drinker, I always have to motivate myself to take a sip of water every now and then with a nice drinking bottle. I love the rosé-coloured bottle from 24 Bottles! It's suitable for both cold and hot drinks.
Sports bars
Normally, I'm not a big fan of sugary ready-made bars. I tried the Chimpanzee bars for the first time at a sports fair last year and was really impressed. The bars have no sweeteners or other artificial additives and are 100% natural. My favourite flavour: nut and sultana.

Sports bag
While looking for a nice and not too expensive sports bag, I came across the label "Sackstarch". The bags from this start-up brand are made near Nuremberg (practically in my home town) from recycled sun blinds. That's why the bags are waterproof and ideal for transporting in my bike rack.
Towel
In addition to shoes, clothes, wallet, shower items and Tupperware, there is often little room left in a sports bag for a towel. The functional towel from Sea To Summit can be packed extremely small, but is still large and absorbent enough.
Sports watch
The M600 was launched by Polar in 2016 and is one of the most beautiful sports watches for me. Especially in white, it doesn't look too bulky on the wrist and goes with practically any fitness outfit. The watch also scores points with its many functionalities: GPS, Android Wear, heart rate measurement on the wrist, multisport modes, and much more.
Headphones
The wireless in-ear sports headphones work via Bluetooth and are perfect for jogging or training on a large machine. I also bought the Power Capsule from mophie, which I can use to charge the headphones at any time when I'm out and about.
Sports bra
Not that I don't already have enough of them. But firstly, you can't have too many sports bras, and secondly, this one from New Balance is really a bit more unusual. In addition to the zebra look, I think the back of the bra with 4 horizontal stripes on each side is extremely pretty. I also like to wear the sports bra in my free time with loose tank tops. Incidentally, it's also available in black and orange.
Socks
Since I inexplicably lose about a couple of sports socks a month on average, I have to regularly replenish my sock stash. Most recently, I bought socks from Stance: top functionality and cool design.
