Gym Bag Must-Haves from Julia and Anel Dzafic

Meet Julia & Anel. She runs the popular lifestyle blog, Lemon Stripes and corresponding IG account @lemonstripes, where she covers topics such as motherhood, style, healthy(ish) cooking, and wellness. She also tackles more personal issues like anxiety and postpartum depression. He’s a personal trainer and founder of Countdown Fitness (Greenwich Ave), who specializes in weight loss, lower back pain, and osteoporosis. Here are five of their fitness favorites:


Anel: Athletic Greens powder: mix it with water for a perfect pre or post-workout energy boost, $97 for a 30 day supply. AthleticGreens.com
 
Anel: lululemon ABC joggers: they look good hanging out to working out, $128. 151 Greenwich Avenue.
 
Julia: A reusable water bottle. She recently started a challenge with her followers to completely cut out plastic water bottles. She encourages them to bring a reusable bottle everywhere they go like she does, $34 
 
Julia: Perfect Bars: She eats one before every workout at Countdown because they're high in protein and keep her energized. Plus they're the only bars she’s tried that she actually likes. You can find them in the refrigerated section at Whole Foods, $3
 
Both: Allbirds sneakers: They’re total Allbirds addicts, with a combined 15+ pairs, because they’re comfortable, machine washable, and you can wear them without socks for an easy slip-on situation, $95
