Are you a desk slug? Get active with online fitness training.

Apparently desk dining is a common phenomenon. I know I’m guilty as charged, but are you one of the many hardworking, office-air-breathing employees staying put during your lunch break and eating lunch in front of your computer?

I know I’m a fitness junkie outside office hours, so the odd slug-like lunch break doesn’t bother me. Fitness is one of those things that’s brilliant for physical and mental health. Now (even if you’re a desk slug) you can have the best of both worlds with online fitness training!

Yes, that’s right. Let’s hear it for online personal trainers and fitness information. They’ll set you up with a personalised fitness programme to get you on the way towards your goals – whether you’re wanting to improve your fitness, lose weight or tone your body. This is often supplemented with nutrional advice, motivational tips and other useful advice to keep you motivated and on track.

Check out these online fitness training resources:

• ActiveSmart – your online personal trainer will give you a fitness plan to suit your lifestyle, plus nutritional advice, a schedule and weather forecasts to boot.
• What Defines Me – a forum and community site for Kiwis who are nuts about fitness training and being uber-healthy.
• GetSet2Go – a service that offers exercise motivation and inspiration direct to you by text message or email.
• adiRun – alright, so you have to buy a pair of shoes… but once you have, you get free advice on how to train and eat right.

If you can’t motivate yourself with these, try a professional NZ personal trainer, in person.
