Feed Your Feed!: 10 Fitness-Related Twitter Accounts to Follow
Let’s face it: it’s a big, big Twitter-verse out there, filled with all the best and worst humanity has to offer. For many, the little blue bird and the service it represents are just further proof of the perversity of human nature—yes, even when restrained to 140 characters or less, people can be somehow spew novel’s worth of ignorance and pettiness. Yet amidst the cacophony and confusion, there persists plenty to love. Whether you’re a black belt-toting Twitter master, a dabbler in the social media substrate, or a neophyte looking for some feeds to follow, here are a few feeds of note for the fitness lovers out there.

Need for Feed: Bornstein is a giant in the fitness and health field. In his own words: “If you’ve ever searched for health, fitness, or nutrition information, there’s a good chance I’ve played a role in creating the content you read.” His Born Fitness website was created to “simplify the process and tell you what you really need to know. Filter out the crap and help you make sense of your body.” His Twitter feed is an extension of Bornstein’s expertise (and his website’s mission). As such, it’s a solid, fluff-free source of advice and insight on all things fitness.
