The 20 most popular posts of 2015
What’s something I’ve learned from blogging over the last couple of years? You can never quite tell what is going to resonate with readers and the greater Internet. When it comes to posts published here on A Lady Goes West, fitness topics are a clear winner. And some of my early posts about Les Mills group fitness classes continue to get the most traction around the World Wide Web and drive people to this little spot.
In fact, half of my most clicked-on posts in 2015 were actually written in 2014 (the first year that A Lady Goes West began featuring regular weekday content about fitness). It’s always fun to see what’s hot, so I wanted to share this list. See if you agree and would say that any of these are your favorites, because there are definitely a few surprises to me.

What’s your favorite topic to read about on blogs?
What website do you spend the most time on each day?
I think it’s always interesting to see what resonates with people. It’s crazy how some posts are so popular and they are always the ones you least expect. How long have you been blogging Ashley?
Hi Megan! I started my blog three years ago when I moved to CA as more of a journal for friends and family — I became self-hosted and blogged regularly starting in March 2014. So it’s been 1 year and 3/4 I guess. 🙂
I always think it is interesting as well what people retweet and such but don’t comment on. Great work, Ashley, keep it up!
Agreed! Sometimes the open, personal information posts are the most commented, but not shared. And bland and generic advice posts go viral. Who knows hahah! 🙂 Thanks for being my blogging buddy, Susie!
Great idea. And, great idea to review workouts!
People love to read about fitness! Thanks for saying hi, Nicole! 🙂
I love reading about people’s trips or fun things they do! You can just tell that they are so happy and I always get tips for my upcoming trips or events! Happy 2016 lady – glad I met you this year!!
Right back at ya, Hayley! So glad we’ve connected in real life AND online! 🙂
Awesome! I have a few recipes from 2014 that are also my most clicked posts. I guess we can pat ourselves on the back for making content that has great staying power! 🙂
Hi Kelly! Evergreen content is the best! 🙂 Hope all is well with you, lady!
I love reading about day in the life posts, fitness/health related tips and workout routines! Happy New Years!
Me too, Marielle! Those are good topics. Thanks for being such a loyal reader, my friend!! I love staying in touch with you!
It is definitely crazy how posts that you think are amazing don’t do that well, and some that you think are just meh, are the ones that do great! Happy New Year!!
Ohhhh the world of blogging! Always entertaining. 🙂
