Fitness Bloggers: A Healthy Instagram Trend
Whitney Simmons

You've seen Alexis Ren.

You've seen Maddison Beer.

You've seen Kylie Jenner.

The past few years, young women's Instagram feeds have been flooded with images of these "perfect" women. Long hair, huge lips, ribs showing. Every body is different and everybody is beautiful but so many women feel pressured by these beauty standards.

Lip injections are all the rage now and you can't log onto social media without seeing a Sugar Bear Hair Promotion. These influencers are true to their title, they influence young girls to change their appearance, often using unhealthy methods.

However, a new wave of influencers have sprung up on Instagram. Two words: Fitness Bloggers. These men and women are taking to the photo/video sharing app to promote weight lifting, cardio, and clean diets.

Whitney Simmons is one of the most popular of these bloggers. She shares her daily workout routines with her followers in a video format. She posts videos focusing on specific muscle groups each day (leg day, abs, etc).

Simmons and other fitness bloggers take the idea of the perfect body to a new and healthy level. They push planned workouts and healthy eating instead of crash diets and miracle teas.

My explore page has been filled with these strong young women and their gym routines. From cable kicks to HITT cardio I've learned so many fun workouts from their accounts. Some of my favorites include Linn Jacobsson, Hanna Öberg, and Sarah Stevenson (Sarah's Day on social media).

Simmons consistently encourages body positivity, pointing out ot her followers that it has taken years to achieve the level of fitness that she's at. Her message is about having a healthy body as opposed to simply having a "hot" body.

Everyone has a different body. Some people are skinny, some people have huge butts, some people have huge lips. These fitness bloggers have the power in their hands to teach young women and men the importance of being the HEALTHIEST version of yourself.

Your body will change through out your life depending on the lifestyle you choose. It's important to find eating habits and work out routines that work for you. Fitness bloggers show varieties of lifestyle choices that are easily adaptable and can help you discover your full potential.

5 Things To Do That Are Better Than Writing A Paper

Don't waste your time trying to write that paper when there are so many more interesting things you could be doing.

Writing a paper is never fun and is rarely rewarding. The writer's block, the page requirement, be specific, but don’t summarize, make sure you fixed any grammatical errors, did you even use spellcheck? and analyze, analyze, analyze.

Papers can be a major pain. They take up so much time and effort that by the end of the process you hate yourself and you hate the professor for making life so difficult. Questions of your existence start roaming in your mind. Am I even cut out for college if I can’t write a single paper? Am I even capable of taking care of myself if I lack the energy to open my laptop and start typing?

sisters
Taylor Hooper

I can barely remember back when I was the only child. Most would say it’s because it is extremely difficult to remember things as a toddler but I would say it's because I was bored until my sister came along. My mother always says how important the "sister bond" is and with every year that passes I realize how right she is. Instead of writing a novel about all of the wonderful things there are about having a sister I decided to list a few of them instead.

It is the time of our lives that we are beginning to enter the adult world and most of us, if not all of us, have no idea what we are doing. It's like starting a video game, but skipping the tutorial. We're all just running around aimlessly hoping we accidentally do something right that moves us along the right path. Now that graduation has just happened, or is right around the corner for some of us, it's time to start thinking about how we are going to take care of ourselves once we are on our own.

If you’re anything like me, you love a good cup of coffee. My coffee always comes from Starbucks; I refuse to drink it from anywhere else. Over the years, it’s become one of my biggest addictions.

It can be overwhelming at times and it’s important to take a step a back and calmly think things over. Maybe gain some perspective.
