Posted in Swine Flu, Tools on May 1st, 2009 by admin – Be the first to commentSure, you’ll have to do the sweating yourself, but the Internet has a huge variety of tools and resources that can help you to get and stay fit.
Here are some ways to use the power of the Internet to achieve your fitness goals:
- Find a group of people who are training for an event. Training for a series of events each year can be one of the best ways to stay motivated over a long period of time. With the Internet, you can find a group of people in your area who are training toward specific events or fitness goals, whether it’s a 5K, a marathon, or a simple fun run; a mountain biking race, or a triathlon. Start your search with Facebook or Meetup.com.
- You can also look into charity sports training in your area, such as Team in Training (TeaminTraining.org). This charity sports training organization trains people for marathons, half marathons, triathlons, 100-mile century bike rides, and hiking adventures – all while raising money for the Leukemia & Lymphoma Society. It’s a great way to make fitness fun while helping people, too.
- Subscribe to blogs of top competitors, athletes or coaches in your favorite sports. Once you find some you like, check the blogs on their blogrolls. Reading these athlete’s tips and ideas and even just following them through their own training process and schedule can be motivating and fun, and you might find a community of likeminded individuals to trade your own stories with.
- Download motivational mp3 workouts. ITrain.com is a cool tool to help you lose weight. It’s a virtual personal trainer that allows you to download workouts in mp3 format.
