If our curls are as abundant as Teyonah Parris’ in the New Year, we’d glow like this too!

Glow, Kelly, glow! With no make up at all, the singer and proud mama radiates love and light. That’s the mood all 2017!

Michelle Obama: Arms

FLOTUS’ arm game is too strong–literally! In more ways that one, Mrs. Obama is what strength is all about. That’s what inspiration is all about!

Earl Gibson III

Angela Bassett: Arms

Let Angela Bassett forever and always be known for those killer arms! The actress extraordinaire could take us down with merely a high five and that’s all the inspo we need to hit the gym and grab some weights.

Jason LaVeris

Danielle Brooks: Best Body

Danielle Brooks’ body confidence will always be an inspiration no matter the year. She’s got it, so she flaunts it!

Mireya Acierto

Call her snatched, darling! Ms. Niecy Nash has us ready to get our waistlines in order come 2017–we’re committed!

Teyana Taylor: Abs

May our abs find form they way they did for Teyana Taylor (pre and post baby!) and thrive forevermore!

Beyoncé: Thighs

Ok thighs, time to get in formation! Queen Bey’s leg game is overwhelmingly glorious.

Mary J. Blige: Thighs

Auntie Mary may have meme worthy dance moves but she most importantly has the thighs to pull them off. That’s why she’s queen!

David Wolff – Patrick

Serena Williams: Legs

She’s the queen of the court and her tennis serve isn’t the only thing that’s strong. Have you seen her killer legs?! Goals on goals!

Karwai Tang

Rihanna: Legs

She’s the bad gal of leg game–she’s inspired us to put in work, work, work, work, work, work!

Pascal Le Segretain

She’s one hot mama! Real Housewives of Atlanta star Kandi Burruss gave birth to her son, Ace, in January 2016 and her snapback game was real! The singer and reality star stepped out all year and is looking better than ever!

Allen Berezovsky

Angela Simmons: Snapback

Angela Simmons is steadily serving gym goals–even before giving birth to her baby boy Sutton Joseph. She kills it with yoga, loves the boxing ring and we can learn a thing or two from the Growing Up Hip-Hop star.
