When you’re looking for a new kick-butt core exercise, some healthy lunch ideas (because you’re so over blah salads), or a rah-rah “You can do this!” from someone who knows the struggle is real, a quick scroll through your Insta feed may be all the inspiration you need: “Instagram can be a great place to find motivation,” says Cassie Bjork, RD, founder of healthysimplelife.com. “I think the main reason it resonates with us is because images are powerful, sometimes even more powerful than words.”
One word of caution: Remember to take “flawless” gym selfies with a grain of salt, Bjork says. Like with all social media, people tend to post highly-edited pics to Instagram. Something to keep in mind if you find yourself falling into the comparison trap.
Here, six real women who could become your new favorite follows, for all the practical, get-healthy inspo they serve up.
