Each year, readers request our Fit Bottomed Girls holiday gift guide, and for 2025, we decided to approach it in a fresh, meaningful way.

One key lesson from this year is that directing our spending toward authentic individuals who genuinely care makes a real difference, rather than funneling money to massive corporate giants.

Rather than compiling yet another roster of essential gadgets from brands that bombard us with review requests while showing little genuine interest in women's wellness, we are directing our prominent FBG spotlight toward dedicated creators, educators, coaches, and remarkable people who have long championed the FBG mission.

These include our dedicated contributors, podcast guests, brand allies, and women-led small enterprises that deliver work truly beneficial to your physical well-being, happiness, toughness, and mental clarity — all free from diet culture pitfalls or misleading information.

Whether you are selecting presents for loved ones (or treating yourself — we notice you!), these selections are crafted to nurture the body, ignite delight, foster power, aid recovery, and empower women to feel robust, capable, and truly comfortable in their own skin.

Choose small businesses. Opt for value-driven purchases. Select women-owned ventures.

Offer gifts that deliver lasting, positive impact.

The Postpartum Core Reset Challenge — by FBG Marlene Andersson

A Postpartum Core Reconnection Challenge—Without Diet Culture, Shame, or “Bounce Back” Nonsense

Navigating a profound life transition such as motherhood can feel intensely daunting. This often involves adapting to significant shifts in how your body functions and feels.

Unfortunately, comprehensive guidance for mothers on postpartum body care is scarce. Resources abound on infant sleep patterns, introducing solid foods, and nurturing the baby's development, yet there's minimal focus on the mother's own physical recovery needs.

This three-day challenge targets new moms eager to reactivate their core strength, enabling it to provide reliable support once more. It steers clear of goals like size reduction, targeted fat loss, or 'correcting' perceived flaws. Instead, it emphasizes healing, reconnection, enhanced stability, and elevating daily life quality by fostering a sense of bodily support and power as you embrace (or return to) your role as a strong mama bear.

Expect shame-free education, empathetic coaching, and exercises that guide you back to your deepest core muscles.

Picture reclaiming a seamless connection throughout your body, allowing you to rise, rotate, lift your child, or exercise without that nagging sense of disconnection.

Additionally, the challenge demystifies postpartum core changes, providing straightforward strategies to restore strength and stability. Topics include body awareness, beneficial movements, gentle nutritional advice, and mindset shifts that prevent moms from feeling trapped. Ultimately, this prioritizes life enhancement over rigid, outdated pressures to reclaim a pre-pregnancy physique.

Footwork Blueprint Shuffle Dance Course — by FBG Alex Kennedy

A Joy-Forward, Confidence-Building Dance Fitness Course for Every Body

If your vision for 2026 centers on movement that resembles a lively dance party, this course is precisely what you need to bring it to life.

Shuffle dancing has exploded across social media, and as someone who has long felt exceedingly clumsy with structured choreography, I must confess it appears thoroughly entertaining.

I participated in a foundational shuffle class from Alex focused on the Running Man, and I couldn't wipe the grin off my face. Honestly, it was as if I had a coat hanger tucked in my smile — when did exercise last evoke such uncontainable joy?

Admittedly, my initial attempts were rough (no surprise there), but Alex explains concepts so clearly that following along becomes straightforward. And remarkably, I mastered it!

Alex's course delves into the basics, enabling you to master shuffling from complete novice status — or advance further if you've already experimented in your kitchen during late-night sessions (no judgments here).

It's playful, uplifting, devoid of diet culture, and packed with confidence-boosting elements. In today's world, who wouldn't benefit from more of that?
