Starting a Fitness Instagram

So I'm thinking about starting myself a fitness Instagram. I figure it'd be a great way to keep myself motivated and stay accountable. Also, I'd love to help others and motivate them as well. Any tips or suggestions on how I should approach this?

    Not to discourage, but there are TONS of these on IG and I am inundated daily with requests. But a few things to keep it real:

    - Don't hawk products
    - Don't think you are an online personal trainer
    - Be more supportive than corrective
    - Understand everyone has different goals so your anecdotal success should not be used to gauge other people's routines
    - Don't hawk products!

    Not sure if it's been mentioned, but don't hawk products.

    You will get hit up by plenty of companies wanting you to sell their stuff. Don't fall for it.
