It's been forever since I last did a #fitspo post, in fact the last one was way back in May when I declared my love for Steffy White, if you don't know who she is then seriously go check her out...although be warned, you'll decide you want to become a complete yogi after seeing some of her lycra-clad posts.
Instagram is my go-to place for inspiration, yes there are hundreds of thousands of posts of girls in skimpy bikinis and perfect peachy bums surrounded by white sand, and clear blue seas. Yes they're nice to look at, and completely enviable, but we all know those people don't really exist (tell me they don 't really exist!) and those pictures are airbrushed to within an inch of their life. What I like to see is real people, who admit that sometimes they don't want to workout, sometimes they sit and eat a whole bar of Dairy Milk, and despite all the hard work they might even still have cellulite. Girls, women, ladies who you can resonate with, who work hard to look like they do, but have to live a normal life too, they are the inspirational ones for me.
So I thought I'd pop below a few of my faves that I'm following on Instagram right now.
Actively Rees
I LOVE this girl, and so it seems, does the rest of the world, with a whopping 205,000 followers. Nikki is a serious inspiration, she's a stay at home mum who started doing Kayla Itsines BBG Guide to lose the baby weight. And she looks hot! Posting regular photos of herself to show how she's coming along, but with hilarious instagram stories usually recounting her lack of enthusiasm to workout. If I looked like that after two kids, I'd be happy bunny. Actually, if I looked like that now, I'd be a happy bunny, check out that body!
The Clean Eating Guide
I mean you'd expect Courtney to have a killer body, she's a personal trainer and a dancer and is a total advocate of 'clean', healthy eating. I've been following Courtney for about 6 months, and I'm seriously considering booking in a PT session with her next time I'm in London. She's got abs I could only dream about, her Instagram feed is full of protein filled but healthy and substantial meals and she's got a workout wardrobe I'd love to raid (if I was 2 sizes smaller!). And if that's not enough, she's just launching into the world of youtube where you get to see the real behind the scenes stuff and all I can say is, this girl can eat!!!
Cat Meffan
I'm pretty sure I discovered Cat through Carly (and you all know how much I love Carly!) so it was likely that I was immediately going to be a fan! Another yogi for me to add to my list of girl crushes, this ex gymnast is a total babe. With a dancer's physique, an impressive collection of crazy leggings and simple, easy-to-follow yoga tutorials, she may just be becoming my new favourite.
I'm always on the hunt for new inspiration and people to follow to attempt to keep my feet in the gym, and my hands out the biscuit box so if you've got any favourites you think I should be following then do let me know! Ideally those with toned abs, but confirm it's ok to live on a diet of prosseco and chocolate would be my first choice.
