Between classes, meetings, internships and homework, going to the gym can seem impossible to make time for. Not only do you have to physically get yourself there (which is half the battle), you also need to get dressed for the gym before, and shower before changing back into your normal (non-sweaty) clothes afterwards to keep your day moving. Unfortunately, this means carrying around not just your books, but also your gym essentials, around with you throughout the day. Fortunately, with the simple swap of your standard school bag to a big carry-all tote, you can keep everything you need for the gym with you when you’re running around during the day!
