Top 11 Inspirational Fitness and Health Blogs That Will Empower You

We’ve cherrypicked top health and fitness blogs that are making an amazing difference for their readers.

 

Do you love working out and eating right or are you struggling to stay on track with both each day? We know it’s not easy! The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) states that every adult should do moderate aerobic exercise for 150 minutes each week; they also say that everyone needs to perform strength training two days per week. But many of us don’t get that much fitness in our daily lives.

In the U.S., the CDC has reported that over ⅓ of adults are obese while many are labeled overweight. What’s the cause for this? In the majority of the situations, it’s lack of a proper diet and exercise.

Fitness and health experts can advise you in reaching your goals; they’ll make exercises a fun and important part of your life instead of an arduous chore. So whether you love or hate exercising and eating healthy, a good online support system that encourages you is what you need. There are many of these blogs in cyber space, but we’ve narrowed down the field to eleven of the top fitness and health blogs that are making an amazing difference for their readers.
