Nowadays, it’s easier than ever to go onto any social media platform and find fitness influencers with pages and pages of content. Yet, whether it’s unrealistic standards or information that isn’t factually correct, the fitness influencer space is filled with misinformation that could lead you astray. Luckily, there are still fitness influencers that post incredible educational content that is based in science and has been tested.
