Go beyond the basics. Dig deeper into each. Consider including the following topics in each blog post on fitness:
It would be best if you were as specific as you can. You can add research to each workout type if it fits your blog. (For example, a post on triathlon swimming might showcase research about different pacing techniques.
If you do multiple posts on workouts, you could also create a blog series. You can even create a landing page that links to various exercises.
Fitness Posts for Time Management
You want to give your readers time-saving tips or motivational ideas to get them on a regular fitness schedule. Be sure to explain why scheduling time for exercise is essential and why it’s better to mix up your routines than do the same thing repeatedly. More people “want” than do work out. These posts will make readers realize they can maintain fitness for time.
Blog posts about podcasts and workout music
If you’re like me, I feel bad when I forget to bring my headphones for my workout. It’s a great way to pass the time while working out and boost your energy levels. If your readers enjoy podcasts, working out is the ideal time to catch them up.

Fitness technology is constantly evolving, so postings demonstrating how to use apps and wearables are beneficial. If you want to provide a tutorial that is easy for non-technical readers, consider including screenshots or instructional videos. Some of these ideas could also be used as affiliate posts.
Consider creating printables to go with or replace these wearables. These make excellent email opt-ins. Try water tracking, step counters, habit checklists, and habit trackers.
Fitness Gear Post Ideas
Affiliate links and sponsored content are a great way to focus on this area. You could include physical products you create yourself (such as a tech-tee for workouts or headbands).
Local Fitness/Wellness Posts
Consider using your local following to your advantage by focusing on posts that highlight local resources. You could also use the opportunity for sponsored posts if you were to talk to small business owners about featuring their business/race/class/etc. or offering direct ad space on your website. You can also use it to connect with local facilities where you want to work in person.

Supplement Blog Topics
It is helpful to give information about supplements, especially if you explain the research and why you believe in the product. You may be a wellness expert or a health professional with the expertise to sort through the study. This will help you break the science down in a consumer-friendly way.
Plus, you can use the posts to promote affiliate income or sponsored content.
But remember, readers are looking for the truth, and you want to share your beliefs. So only promote some products you come across just because it might cost you a few dollars. Only promote brands and products that you believe in.
