When it comes to seeking out fitness information online, there is certainly no shortage of content. It seems that everywhere you look, there are posts promising that “burning,” “toning,” and “shredding” any body part of choice is just a double tap away. While the goal of many ‘fit-fluencers’ is to get people moving, how do we separate what works vs. what sells? Oftentimes, it’s easy to be reeled in by swipe-ups and sweat sets in favor of certifications and qualifications. When it comes to seeking out the best fitness advice for our individual lifestyles and goals, where do we draw the line between expert and influencer?
