#1 Belle Hutt

The fitness influencer and personal trainer gives valuable tips about workouts and a healthy lifestyle on her Instagram account. She advises beginners:

“Take it slow, but slow doesn’t mean working out once a week. Slow means consistent. 20 minutes a day is super, and that includes warming up or going for a walk. My motto is: just get started! The best thing to do is just move, and don’t overcomplicate it, just move your body in a more dynamic way.”

Our free foodspring workouts can be the perfect way to get started and challenge even pros.

#2 Beth Leyton

The functional fitness athlete emphasizes that she also began her journey with no previous athletic experience. It wasn’t always easy, but if you look at her Instagram account you’ll see — it was worth it. You can do it too, what’s stopping you?

“Anybody can do it. I had no athletic background when I started, but if you put the work in and stick to it, you’ll be able to do it. You just have to be ready to try something new every day and give it your all. During my workouts, I just try to focus on exactly what I’m doing and let everything else fade away.”

#4 Gus Vaz Tostes

Top 3 tips for beginners:

Take it slow and really have fun on your fitness journey, that’s what it’s all about!
Trust the process and let it guide you.
Most important: listen to your body. It will tell you when you’ve overdone it and when you need a break. You can also trust it to tell you when you’ve got more to give. Give it a shot, without expectations or fear, and go with your gut.”

#5 Jenny Tong

This professional weightlifter gives you some very personal advice. Namely, she gives the advice she would give to her younger self. You can find more fitness tips and motivation on her account.

“The biggest piece of advice I would give to my younger self is to be fearless, to look fear straight in the eyes, and walk straight up to it. You’re capable, smart, and brave, and you can do anything you set your mind to.”

#6 Tayla Howe

Are you intimidated by the strength area at the gym? You’re not alone, even this Functional Fitness athlete felt that way before her first workout session! She tells you how to deal with it and shares her fitness journey with you on Instagram.

“Everyone has to start somewhere. I remember when I came to the gym for my first strength training session and it was pretty intimidating. It took me a while to start feeling confident about working out, but I think you should just have fun with it. We all start out and even if it seems scary at first, remember why you’re doing it. You learn so much about yourself when you work out. It’s all about you and the barbell – and you notice yourself getting better every time. That feeling is awesome!”

#7 Will Kane

No matter what fitness level you are, making sure you’re prepared for your workout, or even for competitions, is important. Fitness influencer and athlete Will Kane tells you how he prepares today and what he neglected in the past. Find out more on his Instagram account.

“I took part in many competitions, maybe even too many. I traveled a lot for that and would sometimes compete every weekend of the month. That really changed the way I prepared. I used to spontaneously sign up for a competition when I felt fit and strong, even if I wasn’t ready. Today, I know exactly what I’m doing. I pay attention to my pulse, my hormone balance, my muscles. But I also make sure I get enough rest and days when I consciously take a break to recharge both physically and mentally. It’s also important for me to eat enough carbohydrates to power through and really have enough energy for the competition.”
