As we already know, Pinterest is a great place to cull inspiration for everything from how to dress up your jeans to how to rock a new hairstyle on a date, but there’s another largely untapped life-improvement aspect of the photo social media site. It can be an awesome tool for uncovering so-called “fitspiration”: pins that make you want to get up and move.

Our friends over at Women’s Health narrowed down the at-times unmanageable landscape of Pinterest to nine fitspirational boards that will inspire you to take a step or two away from your computer screen. They include everything from printable exercise tips to inspirational photos of super-ripped women working out in cute (and shoppable!) attire.
