Besides the fact that I really enjoy that Honda has a car called the “Fit,” (yep, that marketing worked on me!), I’ve never really paid much attention to cars—let alone car commercials. Just give me a reliable car that gets good gas mileage and doesn’t look atrocious, and I’m okay with it. But when Honda released [...]

So, exciting news, guys! We have something free—and pretty!—to share. Since we started FBG almost four years ago (big b-day celebration coming up this month, so be on the lookout for massive giveaways!), we’ve always had a basic email.

I have a new favorite workout DVD instructor, and his name is Sensei Guillermo Gomez. Despite the fact that his accent is oh-so-sexy and fun (which we’ve noted before), Guillermo is just a loveable guy who packs a serious punch in his new Kickboxing Cardio Power workout DVD. (Get it “punch”? ‘Cause it’s a kickboxing workout? Har. [...]

The Tabata Protocol has been said to be the best extreme aerobic cardio workout ever to be created.

A Yin Yang Fusion Workout to Try (& 5 DVD Giveaway!)
Some say that “a girl can never have too many shoes,” and while that is true, we prefer the phrase, “a girl can never have too many workout moves.” Which is why we’re psyched to share this video clip today!

Eco-Friendly Flip Flops We Love: Okabashi Maui
Why are all of the FBGs discussing green fitness stuff this week? Because it’s Fit Bottomed Earth Week, silly! We’ve never been quiet about the fact that we love a good flip-flop. Okay, they don’t even have to be that good. Cheap and comfortable works for us. But with so many flip-flops in our closets, it [...]

Why are all of the FBGs discussing green fitness stuff this week? Because it’s Fit Bottomed Earth Week, silly! Gyms are a great place to burn off a some pent up energy. Hop onto a bike or crank up a treadmill and the stress and anxiety of the day just melt away. But have you ever [...]
Workout Playlist: We Heart the 80s!
Can you believe the FBGs have never, not once, dished on their favorite 80s workout music? The years we were all born? I know! I was shocked, too. I obviously had to rectify the situation. There’s just something FBG-tastic about 80s music. I envision Sarah Jessica Parker in Girls Just Wanna Have Fun or Jane [...]
