Some days, you just wake up from a deep, fulfilling slumber and spring into the closet, perfectly aware of what you’re going to wear that day. Others, you stare at your clothes for a full-on 30 minutes, completely stuck on the #OOTD (and also fully exhausted).

The Fitspo Queens
ATHLETICISM TO THE MAX
More often than not, these fitspiration models run their segments in vlogs and pictures as opposed to formal style blogs. Still, they’re incredibly motivational and fun to look through, especially if you’re looking to up your athleisure style game (or, you know, get in amazing shape).
Because of their untiring abs and workout sessions, these girls are the real MVPs.
