The AMAZING Insta gym bunnies that will make you want to workout
It’s no secret that if you’re looking for serious workout motivation, social media is where you’ll find it.
Gone are the days of loud men with massive arms blowing whistles in our faces and spending hours glued to the treadmills in the hope of attaining that much coveted beach body. There are hundreds of apps, websites and audiobooks promising us that abs are just five minutes away.
Now every second person we know is suddenly an online trainer offering a nutrition and workout plan designed to help us become the fitness fanatic we’ve always dreamed of being.
Or maybe we just want to be able to walk up the stairs and not have our lungs feel like they’re on fire.
It can be hard to figure out who’s the real deal and who’s just trying to sell us fancy detox teas. Luckily there’s a new wave of fitness gurus who are readily available to cure all of your gym phobias; all you have to do is follow them on Instagram.
Chances are if you’re a regular gym goer, you’ve heard Ellie’s music blasting in the speakers. But did you know she’s also intensely passionate about her fitness? Her Instagram is full of workout videos, with bonus recipes with some super tasty superfoods. She’s also become the face of a new Nike campaign, so you know she’s serious about this stuff!
She never misses a workout. Ever. She posts daily videos with detailed instructions so you’re never going to miss a step. The Under Armour sponsored athlete is also refreshingly honest in her posts, making note of the fact that some days you just want to nap all day long. She uses the hashtag #SweatADay so you have easy access to all her videos.
Yoga is hard, but there’s something very empowering about mastering that Lotus Headstand. Luckily for all of us, Morgan is here to break every yoga pose you can think of into easier steps. Also, her yoga pants and top combinations are seriously on point. Stylish and svelte, we love her. She’s also not afraid to show us when things don’t go so well, giving all beginner yogis confidence with her unedited blooper videos and easy to do warm ups.
If you haven’t heard of this super-fit Aussie, you need to start following her now. She’s just recently completed the first leg of her world tour, where she took her hugely successful boot camps to Amsterdam, London and New York and invited all her followers to workout with her. Her London bootcamp sold out in a half an hour, so you know she’s kind of a big deal. Her abs are world famous, and she’s known for giving her followers regular shout outs to keep the motivation up. Oh, and she’s only 23!
And a little closer to home:
Not only is the uber-successful fitness blogger an author of her own nutrition guide, she’s also a medical student. Wow. Her Instagram is full of clean treat recipes, fast workout ideas and a glimpse into her incredibly stylist gym wardrobe. This multitasker extraordinaire gives us an insight into her busy life and definitely gives us a little motivation on a lazy Wednesday evening.
The Dublin based personal trainer is a Crossfit competitor and champion weightlifter. Posting videos of her own sessions and those she shares with her clients at gyms around the country, Sophie is giving us some major ab inspiration and is definite proof that we should not be afraid to start lifting some weights.
