What should you do? Don’t go it alone. Join an online fitness community that can help you stay the course and create a healthier you. Here are 5 ways that an online fitness group can help you succeed in your fitness goals:

1. Strength in (online) numbers
When you have a group of people that are moving toward the same goal and are committed to sticking to healthy habits, everyone can encourage and motivate each other. You are less likely to quit when you’ve made a commitment to a group and that group is committed to you. When you are accountable to a group – whether online or off – you are more likely to stay committed and it is harder to get away with excuses.

2. Support when and where you need it
Everyone has difficult days when you feel like you aren’t accomplishing as much as you would like. Maybe you aren’t losing weight fast enough or you feel like you have to cheat and have some comfort food. It is at these times your online community can really save you. Being part of an online community allows you to express your feelings and get positive feedback and encouragement that will help you stay on course – almost immediately.

3. You’re not alone… when you’re alone
Joining an online fitness community is a great idea because it helps you develop a relationship with other people who have the same interests as you. By joining an online fitness community or forum, you are able to develop relationships and experience a sense of community and belonging with people from all over the world.

When you are part of a group, you will push yourself harder and will be more committed to the journey. Realizing that you are not the only one struggling and finding it difficult it gives you more confidence to keep going.

4. So many more resources
Online fitness communities can be a wealth of information. You can find almost anything online that you need to succeed. A fitness community or forum will help you reach your goals and give you different motivational techniques. It also allows you to draw from the wealth of experience from those gathered together around a common goal.

5. Information at your fingertips
The Internet is an amazing tool because of all the tips, advice and information you can find online. You can search local group exercise programs in your area, find forums where you can interact with others going through the same struggles, and you can also research different types of eating plans.

With a few clicks of a mouse, you can find information that might be the difference between giving up on – or reaching – your fitness goals.

Marathon Makeover’s Online Training Program is a 40-week wellness program that incorporates:

• Online community support
• A moderate training schedule
• A fun, goal-oriented activity (a half or full marathon)
• Ongoing education on how to maintain a healthy YOU – mind, body and spirit

Marathon Makeover’s Online Training Program starts you out with walking one mile and gradually helps you build to being able to finish a half or full marathon. Although completing a race distance is not required, most participants are fully able to complete one of those distances as a result of the training program. We have walkers, runners and those that do a little bit of both.

Who is the average participant? The average participant in Marathon Makeover is a 43-year-old female who is ready to do something spectacular with her health. Seventy percent of the participants are female and the thirty percent male participants are the luckiest guys on the planet! We have had participants from 21 to 71-years-old complete a marathon as a result of completing Marathon Makeover.

A new training season starts in January of 2012 and we have many online participants from across the country. Train with us online and get the support to reach your fitness goals!

Marathon Makeover is a 40-week, marathon-training, wellness program and, under the leadership of Mark and Robin Simpson, is starting its eighth year of helping ordinary people do the extraordinary — train for and finish a marathon!

We have walkers, runners, joggers and woggers (walk/jog) and most of our past marathoners could barely walk or run one mile when they started. Through our hands on training, positive motivation and the friendly group experience of Marathon Makeover, people from all walks of life and ages have grown through this life changing experience.

Marathon Makeover 2012 will kick off in January with “Kick-Off” Meetings in areas near you.

For Program Information – Call 888.647.8278!

THE PROGRAM

For the first ten weeks, you will participate in informative, Saturday morning, educational meetings that teach you all you need to know to get started and train for a marathon. Special attention is paid to helping everyone connect with others and develop a support team of other highly motivated people.

These fun and informative meetings will be held at locations in your area and will be followed by a group training run/walk that gradually increases each week. A daily training schedule is provided to guide you through your entire training and our online community will give you daily training support and encouragement to help you go the distance.

After the first ten weeks, we will continue to meet on Saturday mornings for group training runs (check your local Team Page to determine the location of your group run/meeting). Hydration stations of water and sports drink are provided for each training run, as well as, post run snacks are organized for the longer runs. Each route is mapped out for you and clearly marked. All you have to do is just show up.

The Marathon Makeover Program is so much more than a marathon training program! In addition to training for a marathon, we use the forty weeks to help you transform your self – mind, body and spirit.

We also provide audios, videos and articles in our private online community that will help you grow in the areas of diet & nutrition, marriage & family enrichment (including parenting), physical fitness, and personal development & motivation. Our panel consists of a licensed & registered dietitian, life coach, exercise physiologist and other guest experts.

While training for a half or full marathon, being surrounded by a caring, supportive community and having access to health and life enrichment experts – you will come to find that Marathon Makeover is so much more than a marathon!
