How do you define wellness? Perhaps it’s the feeling of satisfaction from overcoming a bad habit, or maybe it’s the sweat rolling off your forehead from engaging in an afternoon of gardening. Though we all have varying perceptions of wellness, it’s an action worthy of pursuit, especially in this chaotic world.

The timeless adage that “joy is contagious” rings true when you meet the acquaintance of someone special in-person or even in the world of Instagram. Whether it’s an infectious smile or a powerful quote within a post, there’s a vibrant je ne sais quoi that compels you to press “follow” because you’re drawn to the account’s authenticity. And it’s that feeling that adds to your wellness bank.

From teaching you how to engage in healthy self-care routines to showing you how to kick butt during a high-intensity workout, these five Instagrammers will help you improve your overall well-being. This list is merely a handful of incredible influencers among many who share their wellness journey with the world.
