Dozens of websites give free information about fitness and nutrition, and give you the opportunity to create free customized workout plans.

Whether your workout consists of weight training, cardiovascular exercise, Pilates yoga or a combination of disciplines, the perfect free workout plan creator can make getting fit much easier.
eMuscle.com
At eMuscle.com, free registration entitles you to create and download free workout programs or diet plans, and connect with other members that may share similar fitness goals, through teams or scheduled events. Members get their own "locker" which contains your fitness journal. You can upload videos of you performing your exercise routine or photos of your progress. Journaling is helpful for dieters, as it enables them to make an association between overeating for emotional reasons, or how they feel at specific times of the day that they tend to lose control. If you find you aren't getting the results you'd hoped on your own, this site offers the option of connecting with one of dozens of professional fitness trainers.
