What Do You Want to See in the Next Five Years?

Filed under Featured, Hot Topics, ShoutOut






In our five years of FBG, we’ve seen a lot of trends come and go. When we started, yo-yo dieting was more common (and accepted), there was less discussion about positive body image, and when working out you didn’t have near as many fun and creative (and bad-ass) options to choose from. Being vegan or [...]

Do Workout Headbands Stay on Your Noggin?

Filed under Hot Topics, ShoutOut






Earlier in the week, I lamented my workout headbands’ not-so-great staying power. While I know I can’t be the only one with an oddly shaped, itty-bitty head that workout headbands don’t seem to like, I also know that there are plenty of you lucky ladies who can rock workout headbands of all shapes, sizes and [...]

Love, love, love. We’ve been all about the love lately as for the past six days we’ve been celebrating Love Yo’Self Week, our annual celebration of everything that’s awesome in our—and your—lives. And as we’ve been stoking the fire of self-love with posts on how to make a healthy living dream board to recognizing the unique [...]

When’s the Last Time You Were So Sick You Missed a Workout?

February 9, 2013 by  
Filed under ShoutOut






With so much talk about the flu lately—Erin (and her family) has had it, we shared ways to avoid gym germs, and Tish’s Friday Fit Tip was all about preventing it—sickness is definitely something we all have on our minds this time of year. The flu is no joke! So we thought it only appropriate [...]

What’s Your Favorite Part of the Super Bowl?

Filed under Hot Topics, ShoutOut






It’s almost Super Bowl party-party time! This “holiday” isn’t known for being the healthiest—after all, most of us sit around watching TV and eating—but we were wondering what you’re most pumped about. Or maybe you’re forgoing a Super Bowl celebration altogether? We’ll be enjoying a couple of beers, making some of these roasted almonds and [...]

What’s Your Favorite Temperature to Run in?

Filed under Running, ShoutOut






Seeing that yesterday FBG Kristen shared a Friday Fit Tip on how you should always consider the weather when setting your pace for a run or race, we figured it might be fun to ask ya’ll about your ideal outdoor running temperature. People seem to be pretty opinionated and varied about it—for example, I love [...]

What’s Your Favorite Body Part to Work Out?

January 19, 2013 by  
Filed under ShoutOut






This week, we’ve covered hot classes in New York, cool fitness trends in the New Year and a review of an ab workout that delivers. And all of these different ways of working out seem to target different things: the hard-core classes and HIIT burns calories and builds strength in a short and intense amount [...]

How Would You Describe Your Recovery Days?

January 12, 2013 by  
Filed under Hot Topics, ShoutOut






Yesterday’s Friday Fit Tip was all about active recovery days—where you take a break from formal working out but still make a point to move your rear in a way that feels really good and is super low intensity. Now, if we’re really, really sore (like this kind of sore), we might not do much [...]

This whole week it’s been about New Year’s and New Rears. So, naturally, we want to dedicate this week’s ShoutOut poll to New Year’s resolutions! We already asked if you were making one, so now, if you are making one, tell us: What is yours about? Spill those New Year’s resolutions beans! poll by twiigs.com [...]

Will You Make a New Year’s Resolution?

December 29, 2012 by  
Filed under Motivation, ShoutOut






Dude. Where did the year go? We can’t believe we’re just two days out from the New Year. Insano in the membrano. And you know what New Year’s means right? Time for us to make those resolutions—or not. While we FBGs will each be doing a post next week on what our New Years’ resolutions [...]
