We all know how hard it is to lead a healthy lifestyle as a college student. Between the temptations of Netflix, unhealthy food, inevitable hours spent sitting the library, partying and "drunchies," the struggle is absolutely real. For those of you enduring this everlasting struggle, @fashion_fitness315 is a must-follow on Instagram.
You may know her as Amanda Matluck, but her loyal Instagram followers know her better as Fashion Fitness. A junior economics major here at Union College, Matluck is dedicated to living a healthy lifestyle of nutritious meals and productive workouts, while always killing it in a stylish outfit. She embodies not only "bomb and on point" extrinsic qualities of stylish outfits and a fit body, she also focuses on the intrinsic qualities; empowering women to have a positive outlook on life and looks. Luckily for us, she's willing to share her tricks and tips. She even just released a website: fashionfitness315.com.
Amanda says, "My goal is to help girls become strong and confident with easy workout and meal plan ideas that are easy to maintain."
So what does this social media star have to offer?
1. Healthy recipes
She's always posting easy recipes that are the best of both worlds: Healthy and delicious (nom, nom).
2. Dorm-friendly, healthy snacks
Because we all know Ramen and Easy Mac go nicely with our dorm beds.
3. Nutritious meals to pack for work
To avoid getting that Chipotle food baby on our lunch breaks.
4. How to be healthy while traveling
Maybe skipping out on McDonald's at the airport isn't so bad after all.
5. Easy, productive workouts
Because walking to Reamer for snacks doesn't count as your workout for the day.
6. How to be healthy in the dining halls
Skipping out on those Mac and Cheese bites doesn't seem so bad when O3 salads are done right.
7. How to always be stylin'
Because your wardrobe can't always consist of fifty shades of groutfit.
8. Last but not least, CHEAT DAY!
Even Fashion Fitness believes you should "TREAT YO SELF!" No one's perfect and after you've eaten healthy and worked out, you've earned some time with my two personal favorite men: Ben & Jerry.
So, if you want to "always kill it" with "bomb and on point" nutritious meals and workouts, and earn the right to "treat yo self" without any guilt on cheat day, follow @fashion_fitness315 and check out her website, fashionfitness315.com.
I personally, highly recommend you do, so you can let this amazing girl, Fashion Fitness, empower and inspire you everyday; just as she does me and tons of other girls.
