eDiet Fitness Plan Review
By WLR Dietitian

Personalised fitness plans are available at an extra cost.
To get your plan, you start by completing a questionnaire.
This asks questions to identify your current level of fitness,
whether you have any injuries (eg sciatica, broken bones,
sprains and strains), what your goals are (eg to lose weight,
tone up, improve flexibility), your current level of
cardiovascular fitness (ie beginner, intermediate or advanced),
your degree of flexibility, your pulse rate, the days you want
to exercise, any specific body parts you want to tone, what
toning equipment you have access to and which cardiovascular
activities you prefer.
You then receive a fitness plan that’s based on the
cardiovascular activities you like, the days of the week you’ve
chosen to exercise and the length of time you should exercise
for (including specific amounts of time for warming up, cooling
down and stretching).
The toning exercises come with really good instructions and
diagrams – although you will need
dumbbells
or some form of weights. You can also modify your fitness plan
at anytime to account for any injuries you might have or to
change your cardiovascular activities.
Unfortunately, there’s no indication given regarding the
number of calories you’re burning through exercise – and you
don’t get any extra calories added to your daily allowance to
compensate for those you’ve used up in your workouts.
However, if you are following the Totals Plan, you can earn
extra Totals by exercising. For example, 20 minutes of brisk
walking earns you 1 extra Total, while an hour of aerobics adds
3 Totals. You can add up to 14 extra Totals per week.
Meanwhile, there doesn’t appear to be any advice given to
recommend a variety of different cardiovascular exercises. This
means in theory if you are an advanced exerciser and you only
opt for step aerobics as your cardiovascular workout, your plan
would recommend doing this every single day.
