Lock-down has been tough for most of us, and I for one definitely lost the drive to train and have probably been too hard on myself for gaining a few pounds. One of the ways I’ve kept myself motivated the last few months while the gyms have been off-limits, was to follow some inspiring, physically and mentally fit women on Instagram. And as they’ve helped me so much with motivation, I thought I would add them to this guide for anyone struggling atm. From home workouts to their fitness philosophy’s, these 11 ladies keep my feed positive.
There are so many pages recently that I have removed from my feed due to the fact they promote unrealistic versions of healthy bodies, fad diets and just unsustainable methods of weight loss and healthy living.
Not only do these inspirational ladies promote body confidence and self-care, but also REAL TALK about fitness and nutrition – and let’s face it, we could all do with more of this on our Instagram feeds!
@livnicholsonpt
Liv is such an inspiration and I’m lucky enough to train with her as my PT. From her own transformation throughout lock-down to her approach to personal training, she keeps me motivated with her real talk. Read the caption in this post.
@vickianstey
My ultimate inspo. From watching her on ‘SAS who dares wins’ to then following her training videos, barre workouts and challenges on Instagram, I always feel motivated to train when I see her on my feed.
@mindfulmuscle__
Training for sustainability and long term change. Laura is another of my favourite REAL talking fitness girls, her philosophy is all about training for physical and mental wellbeing. I always feel motivated seeing her stories or posts! Also, she’s a bad-ass.
@christieworksout
I’ve followed Christie since she first started her journey through fitness and she has been such an inspiration for me! Watching her grow physically and mentally gets me motivated to focus on my own goals! She also shares some killer workouts (and gym outfits).
@rachelbpt_
Another one of my Liverpool girls giving absolute fit‑spo! Sharing her workouts, nutrition and motivational quotes. I started following Rachel earlier this year and her posts constantly give me the drive to get my ass in gear.
@coachedby_alicelilly
I love watching Alice Lilly’s straight talking IGTVs about fitness and nutrition, this video really hit home with me because it’s exactly what I do (eat good through the week and then binge on weekends)! Check out some of the videos on her Instagram page.
@ellelinton
Fitness pro and blogger, Elle is another of my most inspiring female fitness pages to follow. Check out her IGTV series for workout motivation and her blog too linked in her bio.
@ggrantyfitness
Helping women find their confidence through fitness and self love, G is another one of my favourite inspirational pages. She shares some great workouts that can be done at home, in the gym or anywhere basically.
@kay.fitness
I have SO many of Kay’s videos saved for home workout inspo. I love that she shares a breakdown of what the workout is good for and how it effects your body. Check out some of her videos.
@gfit.nessl
Another one of my favourites for workout ideas and motivation. I have quite a few of her videos saved for full body strength training inspo at home an in the gym.
@mollie__fit
Mollie’s videos are great because the usually require no equipment (other than resistance band) and can be done basically anywhere, I tried loads of these throughout lockdown and felt amazing after!
