BY Alex Kirkup-Lee

Lacking motivation to head to the gym after class? Struggling to have the time to cook healthy meals? Walking into the gym but having no idea what to do? 

With work picking up at uni, it can be hard to find the time or motivation to head to the gym, or to cook dinner instead of ordering Uber Eats. I've put together a list of Instagram fitness models who will actually motivate you to exercise and eat a balanced diet. I’m not talking about Victoria’s Secret models or Hollywood movie actresses who seem to have perfect, unachievable bodies; I’m talking about real people, whose lives are equally as busy as yours, who can give you some fitsperation to get back on that treadmill to healthy.
