Virtual Training

This is a new service that has started to gain in popularity in the training world.  Virtual training starts with a packet that includes a CD with a list of roughly 70 exercises and stretches.  Each exercise will have a picture, a brief demo on form, and a list of the average weight you should be using.  Then, each week, month, or with whatever regularity you choose, you will be e-mailed a program for the week.  It will be complete with charts so you can record your progress (for yourself or for me) as well as a 7 day plan for you to follow.  The plan will include cardio, rest, and strength training tailored to your lifestyle.  Each strength trainings plan will list exercises, order, periods of rest, etc…  It is all made to be very simple to follow, and to be tailored to your goals and schedule.  This program can be incorporated if you work out at home, at a gym, outside, etc…
This is a more economical version of having a trainer at your side, and I have had success with it with clients that have moved away and are not near a quality gym.  For those clients with the appropriate equipment available, Optimum Results also offers video training via the computer!
