We have all been there and done that.  We know it's time to get in better shape or start eating better and it makes the perfect New Year's resolution. Unfortuntely, and for many New Year's fitness goals are easier said than done. In fact, fitness resolutions are the most popular with an estimated failure rate of 42.4%.  Fitness is not a race or a quick fix, but rather a life style that should direct your goals, activities and motivation on a consistent basis towards healthier living.

 Let's take a look at why the failure rate is so high:
  1. Unrealistic expectations
  2. No plan or accountability - "No plan is successful without regular checkups"
  3. Feel out of place and intimitaed by others at the gym
  4. Commute or excessability to the gym
  5. Lack of guidance and don't know what to do at the gym
  6. Time Availability
  7. Expenses
  8. Lack of motivation - No support system
My new Remote Coaching and Nutritional Guidance program is designed to minimize these roadblocks and let you focus on established goals and accomplishing a more fit and healthier lifestyle. Here's how it works:

You will be provided with a training app that will initiate our communication.  This app is unique to you and is password protected.  This app includes:
  • Assessment categories BMI, Body Measurements, Weight, Height, etc., which provides us with a starting point to establish realistic goals and check points that will be updated quarterly
  • The ability to insert pre and post photographs for visual tracking and progress updates
  • Weekly plans that will provide the pre-designed workout sessions and activities 
  • Generates a complete diary of all of your workouts that also allow you to add informative photos and comments
  • A private messaging system within the app (text) to ensure we keep the channels of communication open to help you with and questions or needs

Key Points:
  1. All of your workout sessions will be designed based on the quipment that you have available to you.  This may be equipment available through a gym membership, equipment you plan on purchasing, or just stuff you may have around the house.  I always suggest starting slow with stuff you can use at home. As you can see from the photo below, you can create a complete gym/workout atmosphere for $60.00 and get results. Importantly, it's convenient and maximizes your time investment.  For you travelers or road warriors, the resistance bands and jump rope will be your best tools.
  2. There is an instructional video with every designed exercise included in your daily plans.
  3. Each Sunday your weekly plan will be posted in you app for your review and any needed preparation.
  4. We will develop checkpoints at 90 day intervals and will make any necessary adjustments to ensure you stay on track with established goals.
  5. In addition to your training program, as a certified Nutritional Specialist, I can provide the needed support and direction that will coincide with your goals.
  6. Each weekly plan includes 2 lifting/resistance/toning sessions and two cardio workouts designed around your schedule and time requirements.  Your financial investment is $30.00 per weekly plan through either PayPal or Venmo.

Here's what one of my clients has to say about this new program:

"The workouts have been easy to follow, yet challenge me as well. I always feel sore the next day which makes me happy because I know my body is being challenged and the workouts are building muscle. I recommend working with Rand. He is very encouraging and quick to respond to any questions I have had...I also love the flexibility-I have two young children and am able to complete the workouts on my schedule." -- Testimonial from Remote Training client Katy Hirschel (For the full testimonial, as well as others, click here.)

There is no doubt, the Remote Coaching and Nutritional Coaching program will get you off to the right start, and continue to support your efforts towards a healthier lifestyle.
