Having to prepare for gym class can add to the stress of a new school year.It can be hard to pack up everything you need for the next day if you don't like exercising or sweating at school.To be ready for gym class every day, you only need to bring a few basic items with you.
Step 1: Pack your items into a small gym bag.
You don't want to carry a giant bag with you every day.Try to find a small, compact bag that you can carry around and fit your gym essentials into.Draw string bags are small enough that you can put them in your backpack.
Step 2: To change into a clean uniform, pack it.
Unless your gym period is the first period of the day, you probably don't want to wear gym clothes to school.When it's time for class, grab your pants, shorts, and T-shirt so you can wear them.Bring your uniform home to wash at least once a week.If you don't have a gym uniform, you can pack some workout clothes, like sweatpants or basketball shorts, and a loose fitting T-shirt.
Step 3: You can wear a sports bra under your uniform.
If you are starting to wear a bra, you might want to bring one that is specific for exercising.Talk to your parents about buying a sports bra if you don't already have one.Extra support is provided by sports bras.
Step 4: If you want shoes that lace up, choose sneakers.
Most gym teachers will not allow you to wear sandals or flats.Pack sneakers that you can exercise in.It is important that you remember your sneakers because some gym teachers will not let you participate in class unless you wear exercise shoes.
Step 5: You should bring socks to wear with your sneakers.
You have to wear sneakers without socks when you go to gym class.If you forget one of your socks, leave it in your locker.You can wear any kind of socks you want, ankle socks are usually the best with sneakers.
Step 6: Put your hair up with a hair band.
Your face gets sweaty when you exercise.To keep your hair out of the way, make sure you bring a few hair bands.If you have the time, you can do some quick French braids.Try wearing a headband to keep your hair out of your face if you have short face-framing layers.
Step 7: If you want to apply your makeup after class, bring it.
If you have started putting on makeup before school, you should grab a few essentials that you would like to use after class.Makeup can open your eyes and make you look more awake, while powder can remove shine from your skin.It is fine if you do not want to wear makeup.It isn't for everyone.
Step 8: It's a good idea to get some perfume and anti-perspirant.
Everyone gets sweaty in gym class.If you want to smell good when you go to your next class, you should pack a nice smelling body spray or perfume.If you aren't going to take a shower after class, you need to pack.
Step 9: If you are going to take a shower, make sure you have soap and wash in it.
You need to take a shower after a gym class.If you have to, make sure you pack a small shower caddy with detergent, conditioner, soap, and a wash cloth so you can clean yourself up after gym class.If you are going to shower after class, you should bring a towel.You don't have to walk barefoot in the locker room if you bring shower sandals or flipflops.It's nice to have the option to take a shower after class.
Step 10: If you need a drink or snack, put it in a water bottle.
It is nice to grab a bite before you go to class.You can eat and drink after the gym if you have a small water bottle with you.You don't need to bring a snack if your gym class is close to lunch.
Step 11: If you get your period, you should pack some pads and feminine hygiene products.
If you have started getting your period, you probably know how annoying it is to be caught without any pads or feminine hygiene products.Adding a few extra feminine products to your locker or gym bag will help if you need one during school.
