How To Track Fitness Data

Tracking your diet and exercise has become popular in recent years, but the truth is doing this has been a key secret to how professional bodybuilders have been crafting their bodies for years. Everyone from Arnold Schwarzenegger to his competition was doing this in the 70s and 80s to optimize muscle growth and caloric efficiency. Today, with technology all around us, the cost of tracking your exercise and diet has significantly decreased, to a point where it is possible for everyone to be healthy. I visited a website to create a poll question, and received much interest in teaching people how to efficiently track their health.

Use Your Phone

Today your iPhone actually has everything you need to track your health. Sensors in your phone track your activity throughout the day. This is a great way to start if you don’t go to the gym or have never worked out before. Simply open the Health App and begin monitoring your daily steps or miles traveled and set a benchmark you wish to reach every day. This will make you more conscious of exercise and get you actively moving around to reach your goal.

Fitness Apps

Crowdsourcing today has made it extremely easy for you to track your caloric intake and make sure you stay within a healthy limit. Apps like MyFitnessPal now have information on every type of food, and with a simple measuring cup and food scale, you can track your intake to the gram. It also contains many restaurant menu items for when you are enjoying your night out and don’t know how much you have consumed.

Hire A Trainer

Tracking everything sounds simple, but most people require accountability to make sure they stay committed to their goals and are able to consistently make gains. This is where a trainer comes in handy. Hiring someone to create meal plans for you and make you more fit provides benefits that dramatically outweigh the costs. The downside is that not everyone can afford it – if that’s the case, focus on the first 2 options until you have more money.

Finding Clients For Your Fitness Business

If you’ve contemplated starting a fitness consulting business, I highly suggest you pursue your dreams. Its hard work, but when it comes together it’s one of the most fulfilling jobs anyone can have. Doing what you love every day brings fulfillment into your every day life and lets you live life on your own terms. Majority of the people that come to me for advice on starting their fitness businesses are very smart athletes and nutritionist that are extremely passionate about what they do. In fact, most people that come to me to start a fitness business and end up failing are some of the smartest people I know. So why do they fail? Surprisingly, they fail because they are unable to keep their business afloat – and this only happens due to a lack of clientele and retention. The concept of keeping your pipeline full isn’t new to sales. If you want to grow a business you must always be growing.

Don’t forget, “If you are not growing, you’re dying.” That’s why I always recommend new business to create valuable content or use lead generation software such as ScopeLeads to get their start in the business.

Creating Quality Content

As a fitness consultant or coach, it has never been easier for you to distribute your content to your clientele. Using your iPhone, you can promote your services on Twitter, Facebook, Instagram and Youtube by showcasing your knowledge and posting your results everyday. If you are familiar with advertising and search, you can also reverse search clients talking about what you offer and provide them with value or target them with advertisement.
