Biggest Challenge: A flexible exercise program
Goals: Exercise consistently; combat osteoporosis; keep up on hikes

Her Story: “I recently turned 50 and had a bone density test done showing I had early signs of osteoporosis. I was involved in exercise programs - aerobics classes, running, weight training, club memberships - on and off for years, but nothing lasted for long. It was especially difficult to commit to any exercise program long term which took place in a particular location (gym, etc.) because the travel for my consulting work was extensive, taking me often to the east and west coasts, Europe and Asia.

Tomorrow I begin week #20 of the Fitness Coaching by Phone program. Has it worked for me? My answer is a definite “Yes”. It exceeded all my hopes and expectations. It worked when other programs have failed me and there are several ingredients that I contribute to my success in this program.

First, it is a workable formula. Faxing in my fitness diaries each week (often from airport clubs, conference centers, or our mountain cabin), calling each week for encouragement and direction (often during breaks in conference sessions), and just making a commitment to keep at it were all critical factors. For me, however, the most important ingredient has been my Master Fitness Coaching by Phone Coach. She breaks down the program into manageable increments and takes me through it all one step at a time, so I am never overwhelmed. And her words of encouragement each week and “pat on the back” make all the difference. She is truly a coach in the best sense of the word - always motivating and never criticizing. When recommending a better or different approach, it is always done in a supportive and positive way. She has a wonderful spirit, and it is so apparent that she loves what she does.

I know the main reason I have kept at this program is that I feel the results. I never experienced that in other programs. I am 51 years old and in the best condition I have ever been in. I don’t feel obsessed by the training and the workouts - the many other aspects of my life are much more important to me. But I know I will maintain this program because it enhances those other aspects. And I know I will continue even when I no longer call my Coach each week, because I simply enjoy my increased aerobic capacity, flexibility, strength and sense of well-being. She made a difference in my life, just as she has for her many other clients.”

Biggest Challenge: Exercise consistency
Goals: Lose weight; maintain exercise for a lifetime

Her Story: “In the past, I wasn’t getting the results I wanted from my fitness regime. No surprise though, as I wasn’t consistent with my exercise program. I enjoyed the resistance training but I lagged behind with my cardiovascular workouts, not really sure how to get the results I was looking for. Then I heard about Fitness Coaching by Phone and saw the results my coach got from her improved workouts (I didn’t think she could look any better!). I said “sign me up.” Fitness Coaching by Phone kept me accountable, which made a huge difference when it came to sticking with my exercise. And, having a live coach to talk to and encourage me gave me more strength, both physically and mentally, to hang in there and not quit my exercise program.

I love using the Caltrac! It’s so motivating to be able to see how many calories I’m burning – that was the missing component before. I had no idea the results my efforts were yielding. I am so much more aware of my activity now and can look at my numbers and know when I need to pick up the pace. And, I know how to work smarter to get more out of my exercise.

The great part is that this program gave me the education I needed about what exercises to do and why I need to do them to accomplish my fitness goals. Before I was just guessing and when I didn’t see results I gave up. In twelve weeks I lost five inches and 3% body fat, and I am continuing to be consistent with my exercise. Being a busy professional woman I found this coaching program to provide me with flexibility to really fit my lifestyle. Thanks to my coach I have developed a lifelong habit that I honestly enjoy.”

Her Story: “It was when I was following the “Intuitive Eating” program presented by Diana Lipson, R.D. and trying to increase my physical activity when I received a letter in the mail introducing Fitness Coaching by Phone. I was feeling frustrated and the thought that someone could help me make my exercise more efficient appealed to me. I called and boy am I glad I did.

It has been exciting having a personal Fitness Coaching by Phone Coach put together my weekly exercise routines with the equipment I already have at home, plus being able to monitor my heart rate and daily activity calories burned to get a more effective workout. It's easy to keep the one-page weekly diary to be faxed once a week so my Coach can evaluate my progress and set new goals. Calling my Coach once a week for direction and evaluation is always encouraging.

I have not personally met my Fitness Coaching by Phone Coach, but from our once-a-week phone call I believe she has helped me make great strides in improving my health and eliminating excess body fat. I believe my Fitness Coaching by Phone Coach is a God-send, sent into my life right when I needed her.

I am 50 years old, a wife, a mother and a grandmother who has multiple responsibilities in all those roles, plus holding a full-time job. Time is at a premium, so I'm thankful my Fitness Coaching by Phone Coach has shown me how to get the most from my workout time. I would highly recommend Fitness Coaching by Phone to anyone who is serious about making a difference in their health and their weight.”
