The Belfie Queen, Jen Selter
If you haven’t heard about Jen Selter, you are living under a rock. The 26-year old American beauty is one of the most recognizable faces in the fitness industry today. Jen’s 12.8 million followers validate her celebrity status.
Selter’s claim to fame can be credited to the rise of the “belfies” and her incredible physique. Jen started her fitness journey at the age of 16 and has now turned her physique into one of the finest hourglasses we have ever seen.
It all began when Jen got a job as the receptionist at a gym. She got motivated to transform her physique when she saw people come in to train every day, rain or shine. Watching the transformation of other people from the front desk inspired her to jump into the iron paradise.
Soon after transforming her physique, Jen started posting her pictures on her social media profiles, and they skyrocketed to popularity. There was no looking back for Selter after this point. Her popularity has only grown with time.
Jen has turned into a fitness icon and has appeared on the covers on many magazines and publications. She also appears on TV shows to promote health and fitness. Selter is turning out to be a fine ambassador for the sport.
A Fitspiration
On looking back on her journey, Jen says she can’t believe where she is today. Selter credits fitness and working out to have changed her as a person and says training makes her feel more confident.
Jen Selter is one of the very few athletes whose glutes are as famous as her face. Selter’s rise to fame story is one of the most interesting ones you’ll ever hear. One fine day, Selter posted a picture of her wearing a bikini, looking all fit and curvy.
In a matter of days, the photos went viral and Jen became Insta famous. We’ll let Selter narrate the rest of the story. “When I first posted pictures of myself, I hoped to get a ‘like’ here and there, but then people started reposting my pictures and surprisingly my number of followers grew quickly.”
The Hardest Worker In The Room
Jen has never had a personal trainer, she learned by looking at pros and experienced lifters, and tried replicating their routines. Selter’s work ethic can be an inspiration for people who think they lack resources.
Jen is known for her awesome glutes, legs, and ab development. Her training routine came after a lot of trial and error. After learning what worked for her and what didn’t, she designed her own routine which gave her the best results for fat loss and building muscle.
Some of Jen’s stay-fit tips include preparing healthy snacks and foods before going away so she has healthy food ready when she gets back home. Selter never skips a Monday after a weekend of drinking and binge-eating and likes re-evaluating her goals periodically.
The fit lifestyle has given Jen the platform to share her passion and talent with other people. We hope she keeps doing the good work and we wish her the best for her future endeavors.
