Why Aren't You Using Online Fitness Coaching?
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.
