Remote coach, weight loss on the network and all the subtleties of training at a distance
'19.06.2017'
The world is developing very rapidly and dictates new rules, we have to do maximum in 24 hours, and we have to solve many issues with the help of the Internet.
A fitness trainer or an online dietitian is a huge time saver and the ability to choose the right specialist no matter where in the world you are.
Today we will talk about what the market offers us, what subtleties we need to pay attention to in order to preserve health, to whom this type of training suits.
What does the internet offer us
In the online sports market you can find offers for every taste and wallet size: free exercise complexes, consultations with specialists of different levels, workouts for Skype or Whatsapp personally with a trainer who can live on the other side of the planet, fitness marathons in social networks, sports endurance tests with a prize fund and full support programs that include fitness training, nutrition control, support and training in the basics of healthy lifestyles throughout the program .
The programs may differ in methods, options for the intensity and rigidity of control, but their final goal is the same - to increase physical activity, and therefore to improve the client's quality of life.
Remote coach - this is not a novelty, and in most European countries, as well as in the United States, this type of training has long been popular along with classic face-to-face training in a fitness club.
Before you opt for any of the programs, I advise you to pay attention to some nuances.
History of the company or coach
Because of the peak in popularity of this trend, all those who feel like it are taken to train online: participants in reality shows, singers, models or self-losing girls who have decided that they are experts in the field of fitness and nutrition.
Do not forget that for a beautiful picture in Instagram A ton of Photoshop and a minimum of knowledge can be hidden.
Even if you are very motivated by a fitness diva, I always advise you to remain a bit skeptic, because few people upload unsuccessful photos to the network.
When choosing a weight loss program, you need to pay attention not only to the coach’s professionalism, but also to the number of people who have completed the program, the feedback from real clients, the duration of the project itself.
Be attentive to details and do not hesitate to ask questions if they answer you for a long time with dry and formal phrases, if at least something is in doubt - do not rush and continue searching.
Your task is to find yourself a person or a company where you will be comfortable from the first minute.
The right start cooperation: trainer + client
Before starting a workout, the coach must identify individually the client’s goals, contraindications to physical activity or specific exercises, features and dietary habits, if the program includes a meal plan, level of physical activity in everyday life, daily routine and level of employment, past illnesses and injuries, fitness experience.
Ask you to take measurements and fix the weight.
This is the minimum, knowing that you can make an individual training schedule and a nutrition plan.
If, after paying for the online course, you are sent a training program and diet without a single question, you can be sure that this is a general distribution.
In this case, I would not count on a super result.
Control methods
Different programs provide different methods of control.
Someone creates support groups in social networks, someone accepts a report directly from the client, there are options for mobile applications and sites, where the new day with the menu and programs opens only after placing reports for the current day.
Thanks to monitoring and reporting, after 2-3 weeks, there is a change in eating habits, and if the programs are longer and control is very strict, then the client can radically change their eating and lifestyle habits.
Training
Methods of training can be completely different.
Exercise complexes for the gym, for work at home with your own body weight, jogging workouts or just an increase in activity due to long walking.
It is important to always listen to your body and remember that the goal of such programs is to improve the quality of life, and not to lose weight at any cost.
Methods of motivation and control results
The tsmfra on scales can both motivate and demotivate a woman, therefore it is important to use different methods of fixing the result.
Measurements of volumes, photos from different angles in underwear and the very thing that is impossible to wear, but once she was sitting perfectly.
If the arrow on the scale does not show the desired result, then a minus in centimeters at the waist and hips or jeans that are almost buttoned up will be good support and motivation not to stop.
Who is suitable and who is not
First of all, you need to realistically assess how self-organized you are and how far you can follow the trainer's recommendations from a distance.
Will health allow you to fully engage without the direct supervision of a professional?
There is a category of women who are suitable only for training with a personal trainer, online responsibility to strangers does not motivate them.
But in general, this type of training is ideal for mothers on maternity leave who have no children, and for a student or a working woman who does not have time to visit a full-fledged gym.
Perfect service
From my personal experience, as the author of one of such programs, I can advise you to look for complex proposals, which will include a training plan, a nutrition plan, possibly tasks for self-development and, most importantly, control and personal communication with the curator.
Personal support is very important, and it is desirable that the trainer be in touch with you not formally once a day, but in live time and can always answer your questions or, for example, protect you from breakdown.
Pay attention to the duration of the program. Visible results with a large excess weight can be obtained for 2-3 of the month without damage to health.
