Beautiful Barbarians

Salutations! I’m Chelsea. I’ve been active for most of my life, as a dancer and so-so athlete through high school and now as a CrossFit athlete going on one and a half years. I’m short, I’ve got muscle and I’ve noticed something… Athletic women often come up against obstacles and issues in living every day lives as kick-butt, strong women in a skinny jeans and fat free world. Anything from finding jeans that will fit the muscular thighs of a runner/cyclist/weightlifter while still fitting in the waist to finding easy, nutritious and real snacks for the woman on the go. Beautiful Barbarians is a place where athletic women can find some answers, suggestions, support and general ideas/issues/fun to fit their lifestyle. Submissions are welcome from anyone at beautifulbarbarians@gmail.com. Please submit images if possible, but also any solutions you’ve found, interesting blogs/websites you read, etc.

This blog is written by two fitness conscious ladies in their late forties. Sam Brennan (pictured above) is a cyclist/crossfitter/5th Kyu in Aikido, Tracy Isaacs is a yoga and running enthusiast and both are feminist philosophers. It’s intelligently written and very interesting. Don’t let the feminist stigma of ranty women turn you away from this blog. They discuss some very intriguing topics and issues surrounding how fitness is a feminist issue. http://fitisafeministissue.wordpress.com/

Beautiful Barbarian, Deanie, recently found these gems at Gap. The Slim Cropped Print Pants (also available in solids) have a little bit of stretch but they don't look like it. So, ladies, that means they'll hug our waist without sliding down. Hurray!
