eFitness

Review

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 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.
