Fitness Expert Offers Alternatives to New Year's Crash Diets
Colorado Springs, CO (PRWeb) February 2, 2007 -- Now that the excitement of new year's fitness resolutions has worn off, one fitness expert is seeking those who are still committed to the healthy habits they started on Jan. 1 in hopes of helping them reach their weight loss goals.
"Most people quit a new fitness or diet routine within 30 days," said Ric Rooney, president of Physique Transformation, "But there remain those who are truly devoted to improving their health beyond the first few weeks."
"This is when we start looking for people who are finally ready to do a professional caliber program," said Rooney.
His company, Physique Transformation, offers an online program and other tools that provide comprehensive instruction, guidance and support to create and maintain a successful fitness plan.
"So many people fail with their resolution diets because they go into it with misconceptions of what a diet should be and end up worse off than they were before," said Rooney, "The biggest mistake dieters make is not knowing how many calories they are currently eating and how many calories they should be taking in to reach their weight loss goals."
"Only the right combination of cardiovascular activity and resistance training, combined with the right diet, will jump start the weight loss process," said Rooney.
In a healthy weight loss program, a man should expect to lose about two pounds of body fat every week, and a woman about one and a half pounds, Rooney said. While slower than a crash diet, the reality is that a year of yo-yoing on fad diets will likely leave a person heavier than when the dieting started.
In addition to several other tools and resources Physique Transformation offers customizable dieting software on their website. The Personal Food Analyst allows users to track their diets and guide their food and exercise choices.
In addition to personal guidance, accountability can be a powerful tool to maintain weight loss results.
"Physique Transformation gives individuals a sense of community through web logs, online support groups and the Fitness Leagues," said Rooney. Members can join teams and compete against each other, earning their points through the data that users enter into the online food log.
"The social aspect is also good as those that work together in a team environment do much better then those going solo," said Rooney.
