Power of Expert Fitness Programming & Virtual Personal Training: Insights on the Mindless to Mindful (M2M) Study
Sticking to a consistent fitness routine can be challenging in today’s world. However, research shows that partnering with a personal trainer who provides daily workouts, professional advice, and accountability can make a significant difference. A recent study by David Kawahata, PhD, published in the American Journal of Health Promotion, highlights the benefits of expert fitness programming and advice, supporting the effectiveness of services like Glazed, which makes these services available to the masses via an innovative online service.
Key Findings of the Study
The study, “An Evaluation of the Mindless to Mindful (M2M) Intervention on Exercise Self-Regulation and Fat Mass Loss”, involved 222 adult participants in an 8-week intervention to improve self-regulation, fat mass reduction, and overall health. Participants engaged in a mix of moderate-to-vigorous exercise (MVE), self-monitoring, and tailored coaching, resulting in an average of 7.65 pounds of fat mass lost and significant improvements in self-control and self-compassion.
These outcomes are not just about numbers; they highlight the critical role of structured and well-guided fitness routines. Participants who adhered to the program’s tailored exercise and coaching guidelines saw higher success rates in maintaining their health goals. The combination of regular exercise, personal accountability, and social support played a crucial role in these results, making the findings especially relevant for services like Glazed.
How Glazed Aligns with These Results
Glazed, an app co-created to help users build and maintain their fitness routines, mirrors many of the strategies proven effective in the study. With Glazed, users benefit from:
Tailored Advice
Just as the study participants received advice from certified fitness professionals, Glazed users get access to David, our in-house virtual trainer with a PhD in human performance. David ensures that every question along the fitness journey gets answered.
Accountability
The study found that participants who had someone who consistently held them accountable had better adherence to their exercise routines and achieved better results than those who didn’t. Glazed members are held responsible by their virtual trainer, who follows up weekly.
Consistent Moderate-to-Vigorous Exercise (MVE)
Participants who engaged in over 4.88 hours of MVE weekly saw the best results. Glazed’s daily workouts incorporate consistent MVE through diverse and challenging workouts.
The Future of Fitness
The results from the Kawahata & Biber study reinforce the effectiveness of structured and consistent coaching, central to Glazed’s mission to bring results-focused fitness programming and personal training to the masses. Glazed eliminates the #1 barrier to entry to results-driven fitness & personal training costs. All members need is a Gym Membership (or an equipped garage gym) with a Glazed monthly membership. With Glazed, there is no long-term commitment, massive up-front cost, and a monthly recurring fee of $30/mo.
