She’s feisty, funky, on the forefront of movie-fitness trends: Drew Barrymore takes the helm and gets the latest Hollywood obsession rolling!

Previously, Drew drop-kicked her way into shape for Charlie’s Angels and got on the fitness bandwagon professionally. She worked with trainers and martial arts masters to transform into an ass-kicking Angel. In her directorial debut, ‘Whip It,’ the fire starter is banking on that rough and tumble image to take on a whole new challenge: Roller Derby.

Naturally, roller derbies have been around for some time, surviving underground after a flash of mainstream success all those eons ago. We’re taking four-wheel boots here, serious. This is old school; crashing, bashing, knock down, drag-out battles in a racing circle, all on roller skates.

Real-life leagues continue to play in cities nationwide. In fact a former co-worker of mine, a mommy with a 4-year-old, is totally kicking butt out here in Hollywood at the roller rink! With a little training and field practice, you too could be a bad babe on wheels.

For those not so inclined to jump into a full-contact sport, there’s the Roller Derby Workout. Hot roller-skate-clad chicks guide viewers through a derby training routine! View the trailer at: RollerDerbyWorkout.com “You don’t have to be a roller derby girl to be a knock out, but it doesn’t hurt to train like one.”

Don’t get left in the dust, people! Strap on those skates and get rolling with this fabulously fit Hollywood trend.
