Very comprehensive list and thanks for including me! I’m following a fair few of these already – very motivating to see these other people in action. But I just noticed… no ladies! There are definitely some ladies blogging some hardcore workouts (I get comments from a few on my blog) but maybe they are not yet on Twitter? I’ll keep an eye out…
