Two weeks into 2016 and with our New Year’s resolutions firmly(?!) in place, we’re working towards our fitness goals and feeling pretty good.
However, if you’re starting to flail (or are yet to kick-start the workout routine you promised yourself you’d stick to) then these Instagram accounts will motivate you to start moving!
@beachyogagirl
With nearly one million followers, it’s no wonder Kerri Verna has built up such a large following – her handstands and inversions set again pretty beach backdrops have us wishing we could book a beach yoga holiday pronto.
@kayla_itsines
One of the most popular fitspo Instagrammers, Australian Kayla gives us meal ideas, client body transformations and workout technique demos (showing off her killer abs while doing so).

@thebodycoach
Sure, he’s nice to look at, but The Body Coach – aka Joe Wicks – also has personality to burn. He’s in the business of transforming bodies through his HIIT workouts and #LeanIn15 approach to meal time.
Have a wicked New Year’s Eve everyone. Go tear it a new one and get #SteamBoatWilly #Guilteeeee

@russellsbc
Russ Bateman’s invite-only Skinny Bitch Collective is a group of models, actresses and musicians who all work out together under Russ’ instruction. It’s fascinating watching Suki W, Ellie G, Millie Mac et al being pushed to their limits (and it also gives us some great ideas for making our own training sessions that much more exciting!)

@shona_vertue
She’s fit, sure. She eats well, yes. And she travels the world, visiting glamorous destinations (and making us very jealous in the process). But London-based Aussie Shona Vertue also has some inspiring and very real things to say – be sure to read her captions!
@ashybines
It hasn’t always been plain sailing for Australian fitness personality Ashy Bines – she’s copped her fair share of criticism plus had to deal with plenty of trolling on her social media platforms. Whatever you think about her programs, you can’t deny the girl looks great (and she’s back to her bikini best only three months after giving birth – wowzers!)
@basebodybabes
BRB, these two Aussie personal trainers have inspired us to hit the gym (and also to revamp our entire workout wardrobe)!
