The New Weapon In The War Against Obesity - Online Personal Training

March 7, 2009 - PRLog -- The war against obesity has been a drawn out battle with their being little indication of an end in sight.  Online Personal Training may just be the arsenal required to bring about a result.  It combines many elements that could make it to be significant artillery in this war.

Online Personal Training involves the provision of exercise/nutrition/health related programs via the world wide web.  A qualified Personal Trainer utilizes information provided by the client to develop programs to cater for individual needs and goals.  These programs are generally delivered via e-mail with telephone consultations available also.  Client and Trainer may live on opposite sides of the world but technology provides the tools for the provision of this service.  The online model of delivery has been shown to be as equally effective as traditional face to face methods.  The online option does have some significant benefits over traditional methods.  It is these features that make it a powerful player in the fight against fat!

An equally effective service can be delivered at half the cost of face to face training (www.healthept.com.au).   The health benefits of Personal Training can now be accessible to millions more.  Cost has certainly been a prohibiitve factor for many in the past.  With more and more people going online every day, the market for this method of service provision continues to expand.  Technology has enabled Personal Training to be delivered to the comfort of your own home for a fraction of the cost of traditional services.  In today's economic climate, this is appealing, indeed.

"I don't have time," is a tired old chestnut of an excuse for not exercising.  With the online option this excuse loses what credibility it had.  Clients can exercise at what ever time suits them with online training. They can break their program into blocks and sections at different times during the day.  The online option can make this excuse , obsolete.

Many clients feel intimidated walking into some gymnasiums.  Those battling obesity and the self esteem issues that this may entail, may rather get a tooth extracted than walk into a gym, 'full of skinny people.'  With the online option,clients can exercise anywhere.  They just print off their program and follow it in a place where they feel comfortable.  They don't have to be concerned about having the right work-out gear or making appointments etc.

Daily contact with a Personal Trainer has traditionally only been available to the rich.  E-mail and web-cam technologies now enable clients to be in contact with their Trainer each day.  This high level of support is a significant factor in the, 'battle of the bulge.'  Commercial weight loss programs rely on this continually.

Software programs enable clients to record their progress and send it instantly off to their Trainer.  This data driven process increases the accountability of the client.  Such accountability can significantly increase compliance to weight loss and exercise programs.  

Online Personal Training is apearing to be a significant force in the, 'war against weight.'  It combines many attractive features in a low cost package that can be accessed by millions.  It may just be ready to assume its rightful place in the front line of the battle against obesity.
