If it’s not light support, wire-free, and free from cup separation or encapsulation, I don’t want it on my body. I’m dramatic like that.  Sure, I own more supportive bras—like my high-impact running bras—but would I ever want to wear one for a full day? Absolutely not. Large-cup-sized ladies, you know exactly what I mean. The trade-off, though, is that my go-to comfy bras don’t exactly give me the most, uh, polished look for “outside the house” activities. Running errands in an…

From the Sunshine State to the Camino de Santiago https://fitbottomedgirls.com/2022/07/from-the-sunshine-state-to-the-camino-de-santiago/ https://fitbottomedgirls.com/2022/07/from-the-sunshine-state-to-the-camino-de-santiago/#comments Tue, 19 Jul 2022 18:52:29 +0000 https://fitbottomedgirls.com/?p=315615 You all know how much I’ve always loved booking races as an excuse to go somewhere new and fun, but this summer, I discovered a new love — the inn-to-inn walking holiday. Long story short, my husband (you all know Jared, right?) and I had an opportunity to go to Spain — specifically, to San Sebastián. And, once I saw where we’d be, I began looking into cool hiking opportunities in the area. As it turned out, San Sebastián was right on the path of the Camino del Norte, which is one of several routes of the Camino de Santiago,…

And it’s fair! After all, I’ve been doing the remote work thing, full time, non-stop, and for countless clients (including my work here at FBG) since 2007. I’ve learned a thing or two … or maybe twenty. And one of the most important things I’ve learned is that, wow, I do not like to sit all day. But I also don’t…

A Few of My Hiking Must-Haves https://fitbottomedgirls.com/2021/11/a-few-of-my-hiking-must-haves/ https://fitbottomedgirls.com/2021/11/a-few-of-my-hiking-must-haves/#comments Thu, 04 Nov 2021 11:00:39 +0000 https://fitbottomedgirls.com/?p=315491 There’s not much I love as much as getting out in nature and being active, and, although the last (*counts on fingers*) 20 months or so have been incredibly difficult, one silver lining is the fact that the pandemic did lead to many of us spending more time outdoors than ever before. From weekend kayaking trips to epic mountain treks, I’ve been taking full advantage of all the fresh air Ma Nature has to offer — and with an Arizona camper van adventure planned for December, I have no intent of stopping. But, as I talk to friends about these…

Running Gear That’s Putting Pep in Our Step https://fitbottomedgirls.com/2021/05/running-gear-thats-putting-pep-in-our-step/ https://fitbottomedgirls.com/2021/05/running-gear-thats-putting-pep-in-our-step/#comments Tue, 25 May 2021 11:00:25 +0000 https://fitbottomedgirls.com/?p=314899 I often compare running to golf. In both sports, consistent effort and good form basically always lead to improvement. And, in both sports, you need to be prepared for bad days, because even the most consistent effort and the best form can’t guarantee that every time out will be a success. I mean, who among us hasn’t trained to the very best of our ability, only to fall short (or fall apart) on an important training run, or even on race day? But we come back to it another day — maybe even stronger for having experienced that failure. Another…

All opinions are our own. For our sponsored post policy, click here. If 2020 has taught us anything, it’s that self-care matters. Kindness to others and yourself matters. Time matters. And comfort really, really matters. Especially during all those Zoom calls and evenings staying safe at home. So it’s no wonder that athleisure is a fashion trend that went from pretty popular to what we’re wearing all day, everyday. Joggers … sweatshirts … and slippers. Yes, those are SLIPPERS. TIME Slippers look like fabulous sneakers that you slip on (they also have…
