Getting (and staying) fit and healthy are two of the major goals many of us aspire to, but getting there can sometimes be harder than we think – particularly when going it alone. No matter how determined you are to eat clean, hit the gym and vary your diet or lifestyle, it can be difficult to know where to start or how to progress to the next level – even for the most dedicated and seasoned of fitness fans.

The good news is that social media is an actual treasure trove of inspiration and Instagram in particular has a booming fitness and wellness culture with seemingly no end of fitness and foodie influencers filling their feeds with workout tips, new routines for almost every type of fitness regime going plus an abundance of meal prepping and meal planning inspiration. From Keto to vegan, there’s a food and fitness guru ready and willing to serve you up delicious dinner ideas to help you keep your resolutions on track.

Of course, with so many fitness influencers out there, it can also be hard to trawl through the accounts on offer to find a truly inspiring female fitness guru that speaks your language. Fortunately, we have done some of the leg work for you and made it easier to add a few new accounts to your follow list.
