Caltrac Accelerometer
The Caltrac accelerometer will
accurately measure your total calories burned during every activity you
do. Because one pound of fat is equal to 3500 calories, it is
critical to your success to know how many calories you burn in your
current lifestyle, and then to progressively burn more calories over
time. The Caltrac calculates calories used while shopping, doing
housework and yard work, as well as during exercise sessions. This
is important because you will learn that simply moving more will help
you lose weight, and every calorie burned counts.

Fitness Diaries
The Diabetic Exercise Program is so
successful because you will be in charge of documenting your own
achievements each day on specially designed fitness diaries.
This gives you more control over your results, by keeping you on track
with your goals and daily progress. The goals for each day
are very specific so you know exactly what is expected of you. You
will know the type of exercise to do, how long to do it, what
heart rate level you should be working at, how many calories you burn
while exercising, and how many calories you burn for the entire day.
You will also have an area to record your pre and post exercise blood
glucose levels. Don't worry, we schedule rest days each week --
you will not be expected to work out 7 days a week. However, you
will still be expected to keep moving on your rest days.

Master Coaching
Through weekly telephone coaching sessions (lasting 20 minutes) you
will get specific focus and direction and new progressive goals so that
you continue to get new results. These phone appointments become
even more important when you are on a business trip, on vacation, sick
or busy. These are the times when people usually drop out of their
exercise program, and fall into the pattern of all or nothing, which
usually means nothing. Your coach will take into consideration
your weekly schedule and adjust your goals accordingly. The
number one reason people are not successful with exercise is because
they quit after only a few weeks, this system is designed to keep your
motivated and moving, even when your life is busy.

Accountability
By holding you accountable to someone other than yourself, the
likelihood of sticking to your exercise program increases by over 2200%.
Lack of motivation and commitment are the two main reasons why people
drop out of an exercise program. The accountability of making
weekly progress reports to your coach will keep you motivated and will
provide you the support you need over time. |
