Somewhere around 2007, I made friends with an aspiring fitness/figure Brazilian beauty named Ana Tigre. We were both living in Austin, TX and soon became good friends with more in common than just fitness. We both grew up riding and jumping horses and bonded instantly.

If you love horses and meet others that share your passion, you end up having a strong connection. Since we were both involved in figure shows, we worked on stage presentations. As Ana started her first clothing line I was also able to do small runs of a similar line that I sold exclusively through the F.E.M. Camps that I was hosting.

Ana helped put her design to our line and for the time it sold, it was a lot of fun! Since those days in Austin, Ana has moved to Vegas and married one of my dearest friends and favorite photographers, Terry Goodlad. Her talent and design ability has skyrocketed! Everything she creates has a natural beauty and flow to it that comes across when you slip into her items.

I still have various items from her earlier lines Fizeek Brazil and Sweet Revenge, which are still in great condition and wear nicely. I must admit I take special care of all of my training clothes (wash cold-hang dry), but still, these items are all some of my all-time favs!

Moving (fast) forward to a couple of years ago, Ana came out with her newest line of ‘skins’ called Beleza Brazil, and needless to say I absolutely love them! I am quite addicted and would wear them every day if I could - and sometimes I do! Not only are they extremely comfortable in any form of exercise, relaxation, travel or heading out with some hot boots or spicy heels, but they are also extremely soft to the touch and wear just like another layer of skin. The colors don’t fade and are easy to pair with any item.

Of course for me, being able to wear them for my intense sessions is key, and trust me, I’ve put them to the test! Last year, while I was running in Spartan races, I wore a pair of her original Squat Pants and was delighted with the condition of them even after mud, streams, ropes, etc.. and the best thing was that they did NOT slide down nor do I have to roll the waist down to fit my hips/waist! This my friend, is my favorite part. I like pants to fit under my hip bones, and these do and stay there! Even on some of my toughest sprint workouts at the track complete with Plyos, or as you can see in the ANW training I’ve been doing this year - perfect wear. I can easily say I especially love my squat pants although she has come out with some killer hoodies and tanks too!

Of course me wearing (yet again) ‘FaithNotFear’ tank and SquatPants in navy. 

Ladies, these clothes are a must for your closet too! They're super soft, really comfortable plus they look amazing on every-body. Take it from me, I’ve been wearing 100s of brands of exercise wear for almost 30 years. I know what I’m talking about. ;)

Stock up because items run out fast and some colors don’t come back around after they sell out. Feel free to pre-order too so you don’t miss out!
