Welcome to Racked's Fitness Week: five days of workout coverage to kick your New Year's resolutions off right.

Instagram can be a friend or foe when it comes to working out. Follow the wrong user and descend into a guilt trip that ends only when you've cleaned the local 7-11 out of its Ben & Jerry's inventory. Follow the right ones and feel like you have a supportive, healthful gym buddy (or yoga guru) at all times.

So know thyself: Maybe you're looking for outfit inspiration for your next sweat session. Maybe feats of lady strength encourage you to pick up some five pounders. Maybe settling into a little downward scroll and realizing OH GOD. EVERYONE IS WORKING OUT. is the most advantageous form of FOMO.

Below there's a mix of fitness magazine editors, celebrity trainers, famous body parts of Instagram, motivational quoters, and your everyday ladies with a knack for contorting their bodies in beautiful settings (and picking the right filters). Follow your inspiration and get moving below.
