FuelBelt H20 Collection: Cool or Not?

I recently saw someone at my gym wearing a FuelBelt — a sort of holster for water. I felt a little bad because I kept staring at it, mainly because I had never seen one in person, and was curious. Although it seemed a little out of place in the gym, I thought it might be a good accessory for outdoor runs. In fact, many serious athletes are seen wearing FuelBelts come race day.

FuelBelt's latest H20 belt ($40) is "one size fits all" and comes in seven stylish colors. The belt holds two eight-ounce bottles and a small pouch that you can put your ID, phone, or other items in. And if you're not into wearing your water around your waist, there's always the Body Bottle ($25), allowing you to wear a water bottle on your arm. I'm wondering what you think of these types of products . . .

Fergie Ferg's FuelBelt: The Terminator

Lately we've been seeing Fergie taking her runs and workouts outdoors, which is cool.

Lately we've been seeing Fergie taking her runs and workouts outdoors, which is cool. I like to see a celebrity exercising outdoors. I am chuckling about her giant headphones, but what's with that crazy belt?

Fergie is sporting a 6-Bottle Terminator FuelBelt by FuelBelt ($32.26). While she has the 6-bottle (7 oz flasks), you can get also them in 2-8 bottle sizes as well. Typically people use these sort of belts when they are training for an endurance event like a marathon. You can fill a few flasks with water and a few with gels if you want.

It doesn't really look as though Fergie is training for a marathon (maybe a walk-a-thon), but I could be wrong. She could also just be really, really thirsty. My guess, however, is that Fergie's trainer is having her wear one for added weight (similar to a weighted vest) during her walks -- This way she is killing two birds with one stone, a few added pounds and thirst quencher (or fuel boost). You can do the same, so buy it from GotBody.com.
