What is the fastest growing trend on the internet?
Blogging.
The fitness blogging world has taken the internet by storm in the last few years. (See how hip SummerActive is with our own blog!). From mommies to grandparents, from students to worker bees there is someone and something in the fitness blogging world for everyone.
Since we are all trendy people I thought I would research a few fitness/healthy living blogs and share with you the ones I thought were cool and interesting
These all made it into some sort of “Top 10 Blogger” list.
Fitness Test Drive
http://fitnesstestdrive.com/
Fitness Test Drive is about reviewing all kinds of cool (and maybe some not-so-cool) fitness stuff like DVDs, books, gadgets and gear.
The blog is written and generally managed by, Amanda Vogel, from Vancouver, B.C. Amanda has researched, reviewed and written about fitness products for lots of credible magazines, including Health, Today’s Parent, Shape, Chatelaine, Best Health, Prevention. She seems to be good at sizing up fitness products for their benefits and drawbacks. Her bio shares the fact that she has worked in the fitness industry for somewhere around 16 years, so when it comes to fitness, she is pretty clear on what’s a good deal and what’s lame or not particularly useful. Although her last posting was in April - so I am not sure how often you will see new information.
I may try the WalkJogRun iphone app she recommends – check it out here

Janet and Greta - Good food, good health good fun
http://janetandgreta.com/blog/
These Canadian ladies are the genius behind the Looneyspoons cookbooks. I have them all and find their recipes good for anyone slightly challenged in the kitchen like me. They are basically on the healthy side with ingredients I can pronounce and find in my grocery store. I make their oatmeal chocolate chip muffins every week for my kids’ lunches.
Check out of few of their recipes here

Motive Nutrition
http://www.motivenutrition.com/
When I was on this site I was really just impressed with the content and layout. The more I read the more I liked this Vanessa Perrone. She seemed really genuine and smart…then I found out she was from Montreal! – so now even better…
What’s her MOTIVE?
“Good health & great food. My goal is that somewhere along the way, I can motivate you to get back to basics, eat real food and take charge of your health.”

Fitnessista

(I know I know, this one is not Canadian but with the tag line “being fit is always in style” I had to check it out…and I liked what I saw.)
Gina started her blog to share her healthy recipes, workouts, and lifestyle with her personal training clients. Apparently her site has become the go-to blog for quick workouts, clean eats, and a dose of what it's like to really live a fit lifestyle in the "real world."
This one seems to have it all – check out the tabs at the top!
