eFitness: Online Personal Trainer.
eFitness (from the folks at eDiets) is
a new online fitness program. It is basically an online virtual personal
trainer. eFitness is a convenient, private and drastically less expensive
alternative to personal trainers and weight loss consultants at the
health club or gym. In addition, the program provides full online support
with customized fitness and nutrition plans and the latest scientific
information. The concept is similar to the eDiets program, but is more
based on fitness than necessarily weight loss, which go hand in hand
anyway. The one thing in common with all weight loss plans that work
in the long term is regular exercise. And the more, the higher the success
rate. There is almost no negative information out there about this new
program. That’s a very good sign. The initial cost is $2.99/week membership.
The problem with online fitness and weight
loss programs is that they are all online. There is not a physical person
to provide support and counseling, which can be both good and bad. Bad
for obvious reasons and good because it forces you to act more independently
and become self-reliant, which is undoubtedly the most important trait
for long-term weight loss success. Overall, this independent approach
is excellent because the fitness plan and support systems are self-directed.
The biggest problem with eFitness is that
it is a body toning and sculpting fitness program. For weight loss and
general fitness we are much bigger fans of lifestyle exercise activities
such as tennis, hiking, walking, cycling, dancing, climbing, etcetera...
These are the type of activities that you don’t think of as exercise
and sustain themselves in the long-term. Chose a basic food program
or the original eDiets for the food, stucture and support aspects of
your weight loss plan, add one of these activities and you have the
best possible option for success.
