A food diary analysis is such a good idea, whatever level you are at. If you’re new to active health and fitness, this is a brilliant start to shaping your future. If you’re already an active person, checking your food intake can really help you loose weight, gain mass or increase endurance.

The Food Diary Analysis consists of:

• Consultation via email, video or phone
• A food diary template for you to complete during the week
• Guidance notes on how to complete the diary
• Analysis of your diary and food intake
• Advise on changing unwanted habits
• Guidance on how to eat better

Five Ways Online Personal Training Can Help You

If you’re reading this, you’ve already started your journey and know something about what online personal training can offer you, even if you’ve never hired a personal trainer before. With that in mind, here are five benefits of choosing a personal trainer online that you may or may not already know.

1. Personal – it may seem obvious, but your personal trainer will develop a plan for you based on YOUR goals, circumstances and abilities. This is a far cry from just trying the latest fad workout you found on the web that may not be suitable, or even safe, for you to do. You are an individual and your personal trainer will respect that fact.

 

2. Motivation – a personal trainer is there to support you when the going gets tough by helping you to dig deep and deliver your best. Remember, it’s not about anyone else’s limits or achievements, it’s about yours and being able to push past what you previously thought was a wall is an amazing feeling.

3. Professionalism – you can workout with a friend which increases your chances of continuing your training dramatically, but what your friend can’t do (unless they’re a personal trainer) is to guide you based on the latest expert knowledge applied to your situation and lifestyle. PTs are not only qualified; there’s a requirement for professional development and staying up to date with the latest knowledge and scientific research.

 

4. Accountability – even though you are the one the personal trainer is supporting, there is a level of accountability between client and PT. If you don’t complete your training plan for the week, you’ll need to explain this to your personal trainer. Much of this is designed to help make exercise and a healthy lifestyle an integral part of your life rather than a chore.

 

5. Adaptability – so many people join a gym and then for the next 6 months slog away at the same boring routine, achieving very little after their few visits. With online personal training, you will never stay on the same workout, day in, day out. Your personal trainer will continuously monitor and adapt your training plan to suit you and your individual progress
