Online Fitness Coaching
By Gary
Matthews
If I were to tell you that you could
burn away as much fat as possible by sitting at your computer twiddling
your fingers and toes, would you believe me? Well I sure hope you don't!
However, losing weight in the
confines of your own home at your computer is not only possible, it's a
reality. What I mean is that you can use the advice that's given to you
through online fitness coaching to pursue a more productive way of
burning off undesired fat and reach your fitness goals.
Any program, no matter how difficult or
time consuming takes EFFORT. Through online coaching, anyone can receive
the advice and the motivation to put 100% effort into their fitness
goals. The end result whether its weight loss, toning, and muscle gain
can be achieved with certainty.
It's all about saving time and money!
If you can imagine yourself with a
personal trainer at the gym, receiving face to face advice, and helping
you out physically with your exercise routine. Then by all means sign up
to one of your local programs and off you go! There's nothing wrong with
having your own personal trainer.
But the down side is that these expert
trainers cost money. Some can charge $150 per hour, and many find this
service so expensive to the point where their wallets are paper-thin and
overdue bills are pilling up!
The cost each type of personal training
(offline - meet your trainer type) varies with different levels of
service and convenience, let's investigate some of these services on
offer.
Personal training in a health club:
This has to be the least expensive due
to the fact that you're already paying the club a membership fee. You
could be stuck with long cues for equipment let alone the discomforting
stares of fellow exercisers.
Working out at home:
With a personal trainer, this can
obviously be the most convenient provided you have some equipment at
home. You might find yourself walking to the bank more often with the
higher rates these "come to your home" types charge.
Private training studio:
If you've accepted the invitation for
personal training at their studio, chances are you'll be paying fees
that would fit into the "pricey" category. Location is also another
factor; if the studio is located further away than you can walk then it
may not be convenient for you. Furthermore, if the personal trainer has
a busy schedule, you may not get the appointment times you had hoped
for.
Although location and price can be
inconvenient, there's no doubt that this method can be the most
effective way to exercise. Sometimes, it's a case of confidence and
personal preference to avoid certain situations, which may leave you
embarrassed, confused or bothered.
For example, many have been pushed into
taking advantage of the local gym's personal trainers. In terms of the
convenience factor, it's a plus if you've signed up for a lengthy
period. But you might find that sweating and stretching in front of
hundreds of people just isn't your thing! Many people just can't stand
that.
Diets and Personal Training are alike!
The truth has to be told here.
People who start an exercise routine (with or without a personal
trainer), only half will continue this good habit for long-term. The
rest will have thrown in the towel within 6 months.
How surprised would you be to find out
that old habits are repeated when you stop personal training? This
obviously varies from person to person but the lack of trainer support
can sometimes render a person lazy to the point where they neglect their
fitness... because for many it's the external motivation that provides
the will to exercise and reach their goals in life.
Online fitness coaching can provide a
very similar service to traditional personal training, and the costs
involved are usually much lower and much more affordable for the general
population.
In many situations, online consultation
can be an excellent service if the trainer can deliver the right amount
of motivation and supporting advice to the client. This can be seen in
the case of weight loss, where many clients find weight loss a difficult
task due to lack of confidence.
There are always that bunch of people
who will shy away from a personal trainer because of misconceptions and
stereotypes. They may fear loosing face having to hire one or be under
false impression that trainers are just for athletes or bodybuilders.
This is far from the truth - a
supporting hand from a trainer can go a long way for many wanting to
slim down or improve their fitness levels.
Online coaching really excels when the
trainer acts as a mentor and plays a supporting role to dissolve
misconceptions and stereotypes about people's inability to achieve the
results they're after.
Let's go through some of the benefits
that can be attained using online coaching:
· Personal coaching no matter where
you or the trainer are located around the globe can help you develop
the will and motivation to exercise
· Save money on travel expenses and
expensive personal trainers
· You can exercise when you want
discarding the need for timed exercise appointments
· Where self-motivation fails,
online training can provide enough support to stick with a homemade
program.
· No need to workout at a specific
place designated by the trainer, take control over your workouts at
home, at the gym, at work or on the road
· Sit in the comfort of your own
home on your computer to receive coaching and advice
· Have your training questions and
problems answered with educated responses, promptly and
confidentially via email
· Allows for tremendous
flexibility, especially for those who travel.
· Allows privacy for those who are
intimidated by "public" personal training, such as people who don't
feel comfortable with their bodies.
· The American Council on Exercise
asserts that online training is an effective supplement to working
one-on-one with a qualified trainer
As you weigh down the benefits of
online personal training, you'll find that each method will give you
substantial results provided that YOU are willing to put 100% effort
into your exercise & dietary program.
Personal trainers can't do all the work
for you, but they can guide you in the right direction to the point
where you can observe results in weeks not years.
Whatever the interest, the choice comes
down to you. Whether you're comfortable just working out with a friend,
willing to spend money to see a personal trainer, or find opportunity
with an online trainer, the achievements you make will be proportional
to the time you put in.
