Free Customized Workout Plans

Are you looking for free customized workout plans? The Internet just may be the place to find what you need to get you on your way to great health.

Why do you need a free, customized workout plan? A plan custom-tailored to your body type, challenges, likes, dislikes and exercise needs can help you in many ways. It helps you stay motivated and get fit in a manner that is optimal for your own unique physiology.

Most people looking for customized plans go to a personal trainer. As you know, personal trainers can be expensive. Training sessions can run the gamut – from as low as $25 an hour up into the hundreds of dollar range. The expense usually depends upon the knowledge and experience of your trainer, as well as where you reside geographically.

While there are many benefits to having your own personal trainer, it isn’t always economically feasible. This is where the Internet comes in. With a little research, you can find your own free customized workout plans to get you moving and in shape.

There are a number of websites that can help you build a custom plan. Below are a few resources.

Free Trainers offers a variety of programs. Sign up using your email address to create an account. Next, fill out a quick personal fitness profile that asks questions about your fitness experience and level, your weight, your goals, how many days you would like to work out per week and the available equipment.

Once you have completed your personal profile, you can select a nutritional plan, a fitness plan, or both. You can select plans that target specific goals – such as toning up a certain muscle group, or target overall fitness goals such as weight loss and general toning. The program will work with not only your personal goals, but also what types of equipment you have access to, whether free weights, weight machines or nothing.

After answering all of the questions, an individualized fitness plan is generated for you. The program offers fitness and exercise logs, as well as exercise charts that describe all of your exercises.

It is easy to change your fitness goals and update your plan as you go along.

True Fitness offers a free customized cardio plan. Sign up is easy. Just click on the link above and enter the following information:

• Age
• Resting heart rate – To determine your resting heart rate, take your pulse at your carotid artery (two fingers down from the middle of your jawbone) while at rest for a full 60 seconds.
• Current activity level
• Fitness goal

After entering all of the information and pressing “submit”, the site offers you a chart that tells you how long and how often you need to do cardio exercise to meet your goal. It also offers a schedule for gradually breaking your body into exercise so that you don’t overdo it. There is also a target heart rate chart to help you make sure you are exercising in the right heart rate range for maximum cardio benefit.

Free Online Health offers customized exercise and nutritional programs. There is no sign up involved with this plan. Instead, you select from a variety of exercises that are listed on the site with photographs and detailed instructions.

Working out and getting in shape takes a lot of motivation. One of the reasons that personal trainers generate success is because they provide that motivation to continue on with your plan. When you are working out on your own, it is sometimes difficult to maintain motivation. It is easy to put off your workout “just for today” when life arises. Here are some tips to help you stay motivated when you are working out on your own.

• Work out with a friend. If you make a daily appointment with your friend for workouts, you will be less likely to skip them.
• There is some evidence that those who work out in the morning are more apt to stick with their fitness routine. If possible, set aside time each morning to exercise. If you are unable to make time in the morning, then set aside a time at the same time daily to complete your workout.
• Play music that motivates you while you workout. Or, listen to a book on tape that you only allow yourself to listen to while you workout. This may motivate you to keep your appointment with yourself.
• Enlist others in your success. Tell your family what you are doing and ask them to help you keep your exercise “appointments”.
• Monitor your statistics. Have someone measure you regularly to see how you are progressing. Measurements can be taken on mid-biceps, mid-thigh, chest, waist and hips.

With a little planning and the right exercise program, you can be on your way to the best shape of your life.
