If I were a betting person, I would bet you have a social media account or two. And I’d also bet that at least some of your friends have the habit of sharing food pics or workout plans to their accounts.
The reality is everyone who eats healthfully, or exercises becomes an instant “fitness expert” when they share their experiences on social media. Unfortunately, most of these individuals have never taken a class or been through a certifying program that makes them an actual expert. Rather than wade through the masses of self-proclaimed gurus to find the highest-quality accounts, follow the experts I’ve included below and check out my tips for making the most of social media fitness.

How to Use Periscope for Live Workouts and Fitness Routines
