Instagram - New way to get fit

Everywhere you turn it seems people are on their phones; in class, at the gym, shopping, at work… Many argue the addiction and growing obsession with social media is a bad thing. I disagree, I believe social media has a lot to offer, and can make life easier and more interesting with the never ending easily accessible content. An area that has grown because of social media, and now is a bigger tend then ever before is fitness and health. Yes, theres several articles that have a negative focus of obesity, bad diets… However their are positive motivation from sites like Instagram.  Before I joined Instagram I had not been greatly exposed to muscular and fit women. Now  everyday when I scroll down my Instagram feed, or go to the “discover centre", I find pictures of  women with wash board abs and toned muscular legs flexing in their tight Nike pros and vibrant sports bras. Social media has created a new trend and grown to inspire people all over the world and motivate individuals to become a fitter and better versions of themselves. Women share tips from their accounts about diet exercise in order to give others the tools and motivation they need in order to become fit themselves. Athletes with all types and sizes of fit and healthy bodies are largely followed and idolized by women all around the world who also have a goal of living a healthy lifestyle. This is where they show off their transformations, dedication and passion for taking care of themselves by eating nutritious food and working out daily.  Some of the most popular fitness motivators inspirations that I follow personally are; Jen Selter, Kayla Itsines, Freelee the Banana Girls and Fully Raw Kristina. These women all have different perspectives of diet, exercise and lifestyle. I will be comparing all of them and their different take on being fit. Even though they all share a goal of motivating others and living the healthiest lifestyle they can.
