I am a heavy social media user, some may even consider me to be a micro-influencer, but I say I just like to post things that inspire me. I already have a social media persona, which typically consists of makeup, hair, and fashion videos that are either paid promotions or beauty/fashion tips that I find fun to share with my followers. Outside of the image I uphold on social media, I do devote a good amount of time to taking care of my body. I started working out at my university gym, the Student Recreation Center. While learning new ways to eat healthily and work out (primarily through Tiktok), I have found a hobby that I am passionate about, which is going to the gym and cooking healthy meals that enhance my workout progress. 

 I started by doing accountability posts on my Instagram, which is basically letting my followers hold me accountable to get in the gym, but after a month or so, going to the gym became a healthy habit. Once my followers noticed how my body was changing, they began to reach out about the workouts I do and my “diet”. I put that in quotations because all I really did was stop eating out and started cooking my meals. After responding to multiple DM’s, I thought the best way to share my journey and the new things I learned along the way was to create content about it. 

As you can see in the pictures above, my content consists of what my meals look like, what kind of pre-workout I drink, some of the workouts I do, and my personal favorite, the gym outfits I wear. Even though my page was for beauty content, my followers liked my gym content, which was a pleasant surprise for me. 

After getting into making gym content, I found a new interest in fitness influencers. Some of my favorites are @madfit and @6ourt on Instagram and Tiktok. They’ve inspired me the most to put the content that I create out there. As of now, I’m pushing my content through my Instagram story and highlights, but I am in the process of creating a new page for my fitness on Instagram and Tiktok. The link to my new Instagram page is embedded above. I have yet to promote it yet, which explains the lack of activities from my followers.
