7 Lesbian/Bi Fitness Experts Who Will Motivate You on Instagram
Every now and again, we can use a little motivation. Maybe you’re looking for a new way to move, or some recipes for meals that will have you feeling more focused and energized for the day. Or perhaps you just want to follow all kinds of lesbians doing cool things on Instagram. (In which case, we’re on the same team!)
Whatever your inspiration, there are several out and proud women working in health and fitness who are promoting body positivity and mental and physical health, and they are all worthy of getting added to your feed. Here are seven such experts who are hoping to inspire you to sweat, smile and treat yourself by sharing how they do it every single day.
Emily Schromm was first made famous on The Real World: DC, but she’s kicked ass since on MTV Challenges because she’s a full-time fitness pro off-camera. Last year, she won Women’s Health‘s Next Fitness Star but her passion is really in her own Superhero Challenge. So if you need a program to follow and want access to your virtual trainer via YouTube, Periscope and all other kinds of social media, Emily might just be your new BFF. (Bonus: Her GF Michelle Kinney is also an inspiring follow.)
