Of all the shiny pieces of equipment at the gym, one of the most useful might be the little phone you keep in your pocket.
If you load it up with music and download fitness and nutrition apps to keep you going, your smartphone becomes a handy tool that helps you stay healthy. And now that more and more personal trainers share some of their best workout routines through their Instagram accounts, staying fit is really easy and portable.
"[Instagram is] especially great for fitness because it's driven by visuals, which helps people not only better understand movements, but inspires them to try the exercises and routines," Adam Campbell, the editor of Men's Health's website and social media accounts, told The Huffington Post. "Plus, by the very nature of the platform, it has to be presented in a very simple, easy-to-understand way. It's changed the way we present fitness content and has challenged us to continue to evolve our presentation to better serve our audience."
We put together a full-body workout using nothing but Instagram posts thanks to trainers such as BJ Gaddour, the fitness director for Men's Health, and Harry Jameson, Esquire UK's personal trainer. This could not be more accessible, which means you're out of valid excuses for missing a workout.
Instagram is good for a lot of things, but now it can be a great workout buddy, too.
