Diabetes Exercise Program Components

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.
