“Summers come and go, but summer bodies are a permanent fixture.”

We can’t confirm this is a real quote this, so please don’t say it anywhere. But we can confirm that fitness baddies are a thing, and if by any chance you are curious how to properly identify be one, you’ve come to the right place.

Gym membership

It goes without saying, but this is where it all happens. This is where fitness baddies are made to become the version everyone else wants to be. 

Smart watch

You know every step you take or every run you break into and the calories you burn has to count. Nothing gives a better dopamine boost than consistently hitting your daily move goals. 

Water bottle 

It’s alright if you forget to eat. We can even forgive it. Like, who needs more than two cookies per day to survive? But you see, you have to stay hydrated to maintain your fitness baddie status. That water bottle must be close to you at all times. 

Bandana

Even when putting in the work, you still want to look and feel good. This is tricky when your hair has a mind of their own and are flying in al directions . But the good thing is, a bandana keeps everything together. 

Tupac didn’t have hair, but he always had a Bandana on. Guess it’s true what they say — that man was truly ahead of his time.
