Top Fitness Hashtags 2016

Were your friends #gettingswole and #countingmacros this year?  They were on Instagram!  We took a look at the past year of fitness and health Instagram trends (and our own Instagram feeds) to bring you the 10 standouts from 2016 — rising stars and returning vets included.

Here are the top tags that took over your feed this past year, including the most important days of the week like #TransformationTuesday and #CelluliteSaturday.

 

#MealPrep and #MealPrepSunday

Both #MealPrep and #MealPrepSunday were huge this year.  While general meal prep amassed over 4 million tags this year, the rising star was meal prep Sunday as more and more fans of the healthy habit have dedicated a chunk of their weekend as a designated day of prep.

 

#MondayMotivation

Well, #MondayMotivation doesn't seem to be slowing down, and we don't mind.  With over 3 million posts, this year had us more motivated than ever.  On Mondays.

 

#TransformationTuesday

Perhaps the biggest star of 2016, #TransformationTuesday has garnered over 10 million photos on the tag, complete with stunning before and after photos.

 

#WorkoutWednesday

Let's just keep this day of the week thing going, shall we?  Though we haven't yet figured out what Thursday and Friday will stand for (#ThickThighsThursday?  #FitFriday?  Unclear.), it is certain that Wednesdays are for workouts.  #WorkoutWednesday is still in the under-1-million club, but is trending up this year; we expect it to continue all through 2017.

 

#CelluliteSaturday

At first glance, you might think #CelluliteSaturday is something around body shaming or thinspo.  To everyone's delighted surprise, it's actually the opposite — it's an empowering, body-positive tag aimed at celebrating "flaws".  Now we just have to figure out what to post on Thursday and Friday.

 

#FlexibleDieting / #IIFYM

You didn't expect to see doughnuts on this list, did you?  Well, with the rising popularity of macros comes the increased popularity of flexible dieting and the IIFYM (if it fits your macros) concept.  The #FlexibleDieting tag is up to 2.5 million photos, while #IIFYM is at 6.5 million.

 

#FitGirlProbs

Ah, the art of commiserating on Instagram.  #FitGirlProbs lets us all vent our frustrations and share our hilarious follies of living that fit life — with photos.  This rising star is picking up steam thanks to fitness stars like Cassey Ho making it a regular tag.

 

#SelfCare

If you felt like 2016 was the year of self-care, you're not alone.  With over 1 million shared photos, it's clear that #SelfCare is more important to people than ever.

 

#Fitspo

Popular for years but picking up massive traction in 2016 is #Fitspo.  The tag continues to be a source of inspiration with over 35 million shared photos.

 

#EatClean

Another ultra-popular tag that continued to be used in 2016:  #EatClean.  With nearly 36 million pictures, you're bound to get some off-colour ones, but for the most part it's clean, clean eats.  For a somewhat safer browsing experience, check out specific clean eating accounts like @EatCleanOK and @clean_eating_alice.
