More people are turning to online fitness services thanks to the convenience and low cost. If you work around the clock and don’t have time to squeeze in a workout at the gym on a regular basis, or to hire a trainer on a set weekly schedule, then you might want to consider this more flexible option.
But how effective are online fitness services?
First, let’s name the options you have when you go online to develop a fitness routine. There are a huge number of possibilities, depending on what your interests and goals are. For instance, if you want training under a specific teacher but don’t live close to his or her studio, an online training program is a good option. You get the benefit of the specific teacher’s training at your convenience. If you are looking for a type of training routine to meet a fitness goal, such as running a marathon, then you can join an online training program that caters to this need.

I’ve begun training for a half marathon, and within the first few weeks, my knees started to hurt. It wasn’t surprising – that tends to happen when I begin a new exercise routine or when I have a particularly tough workout. There is added pressure on that area, because the knees bear the weight of your body when muscles aren’t used to being challenged.
But sometimes, knee pain can make us avoid working out altogether – lapsing into our old habits of sitting and lying down, as opposed to keeping our bodies moving. As many recent studies have shown, sitting can be as bad for the body as smoking, so it’s important to keep it moving. So what do you do?

There’s nothing that screams temptation and indulgence quite like the holidays. While many of us tend to let your diet and exercise plan slide during these festive months, aiming to set things straight once the New Year rolls around, it’s much easier and healthier to keep a steady pace.
I don’t want to be bah humbug about holiday eating and drinking – and certainly you should enjoy your favorite foods. But instead of indulging and feeling guilty, only to repeat the cycle through to January, try instead a more balanced approach.
Following are some tips to keep your diet and fitness goals in mind over the holidays – and still have fun:

Let's face it - you can find anything you want online. This holiday season, more people are turning to places like Amazon to avoid the endless lines and crowds in the shopping malls. People turn to Uber for a ride, instead of hailing a cab. And when people want to meet someone, they download Tinder and start swiping.
Online fitness is no different. It’s increasing in popularity. Instead of hiring an expensive trainer and being at the mercy of his/ her schedule, you can join an online program and pursue your workout regime at 2:00am if you want. In addition to a more flexible schedule, there are other benefits – and drawbacks – to using an online fitness service.

Holiday shopping just got a little bit easier. The latest trend in gifting is perfect for procrastinators and tech-savvy shoppers (and those of us who dread wrapping presents because we can't get our ribbons to curl properly): e-gifts.
As more and more people are using tools like mp3 players, tablets, and e-readers, virtual gifts are becoming viable options for the good boys and girls on Nice lists everywhere. And what's not to love? They don't have to be wrapped, so you can save time and money. They don't have to be shipped, so they're environmentally friendly and great for long-distance recipients. They don't have to be purchased in a store, so you can avoid the holiday crowds. And they can be bought and sent instantly, so you never have to worry about meeting holiday deadlines.
