Online training is one of the fastest growing parts of the fitness industry. If you're considering joining the online fitness community, consider these benefits and drawbacks.
One of the most popular reasons for working out following an online video is that it offers ultimate convenience. No need to roll out of bed at 5 a. m. to attend that 6 a. m. boot camp class, which may end up being full when you arrive. And what if you're on the road? No problem. You can access your workout video through your phone.
Most online fitness programs are much less expensive than similar offline programs—most range in cost from ﹩ 10 to ﹩ 20 per month. Some are even free. For example, the online Les Mills+ program offers a free 30-day trial of its 1，500-plus workouts.
Online training also has broad offerings. When you head online, you have instructors from around the globe, all ready and willing to help you master your favorite moves. Just because there isn't a Krav Maga class in your area doesn't mean you can't go online to find one led by qualified instructors.
All these are undoubtedly positive-online training provides fitness resources to general consumers wherever they are, without requiring access to a gym or fitness studio. Very few online fitness programs enable the instructor to see you, check your form, and offer corrections based on your performance. This is particularly concerning for beginners, as they're more likely to do incorrectly. Besides, if you struggle with self-motivation and prefer a social workout environment, online fitness may not be for you.
