Fitness Swellness: Baktuli workout towels

Who sweats a lot? You? Me, too.

Sigh. I hate it. It’s nothing short of a miracle that I train for marathons through Toronto’s hot, humid summers.

It’s rare that I hit the gym (running takes up much of my time, but I’ll be hitting the gym more often — more details on that soon), but when I do, the new workout towels from Baktuli are my saviour — you’ll want one, too, if you’re as anti-sweat as I am.

They’re made of lightweight Turkish cotton, and feature Microban (so they resist the growth of bacteria and mildew). And the new Workout collection is shaped like a scarf (so it’s easy to throw around your neck, or drape on the workout bench).

What I really love, though? The sayings on them. When I saw the Harder, Better, Faster, Stronger one, I had to have it (it’s often what I repeat to myself when I run — well, close to, I repeat “Harder, Fitter, Faster, Stronger,” when I’m having a tough moment or really trying to push myself to go faster). When I saw the Baktuli towel, I felt like it was meant to be.

The other towels are just as fun. We Can Work It Out and Let’s Get Physical – how’s that for a conversation starter with the hottie on the treadmill next to you? Prefer something more simple? Sporty stripes for you, then!
