The Internet offers a variety of options for online fitness training. Fitness websites typically feature unique training programs, including written descriptions, video demonstrations, pre-recorded video and live, online interactive courses. Fitness training in the 21st century can be online via the Internet in the comfort of your home or office.
Exercise Library
If you are looking for an online exercise library, the American Council on Exercise features a website that provides a complete listing. Written descriptions, photos and videos are provided. The library is sorted into muscle groups to help you effectively target your back, chest, shoulders, arms, abs, legs and butt. Full body integrated exercises are also included. Proper form and technique for each exercise are stressed. Descriptions also advise you on any equipment required and rate the exercise, from beginner to advanced levels. This free website presents individual exercises that you can mix and match for a balanced online fitness training program.
Fitness Training Programs
Other websites such as ActiveTrainer.com charge a small fee and provide complete pre-designed fitness training programs. It offers four-week training programs, including written descriptions that are designed for beginner, intermediate or advanced fitness levels.

Personal Trainer Access
Access to a personal trainer via email is available in addition to online fitness training programs at ChangingShape.com. The website offers weight training workout programs, cardiovascular routines, stretching programs and home strength training routines in its 12-week or 1-year memberships. Your personal trainer will help you set goals, design your program, give you assignments and answer your questions. Nutrition plans, online support and results tracking are also part of the membership.
Live and Interactive
Live, interactive online fitness training classes are offered at Physiic.com. Live classes offer the advantage of allowing full communication between you and your trainer.
