Life Practice Coaching

15. Who is my coach?

All of the Life Practice coaches are certified personal trainers who also trained to coach each of the Life Practice elements –exercise, nutrition, sleep, and stress management. The role of your coach is to provide motivation and support for you as you work on improving your health and the Life Practice habits. We expect that each of our users and coaches to develop a long-term relationship focused on improving your health and meeting your goals. The more you are willing and eager to work with your coach, the richer the relationship.

16. What does my coach do?

Your coach tracks you on a daily basis. Like Santa, he knows if you've been bad or good and coaches you accordingly. Since the Life Practice tool is very specific, simple and direct, your coach is able to track your specific performance. In addition, your coach knows your Life Practice goal and desired pace and works with you to help attain your goal.

17. How do I ask questions and communicate with my coach?

All your questions are directed to your coach’s forum. Your question and those similar to your question are answered and discussed by your coach and others working with your coach. Life Practice believes in teamwork. We know that this team or community dialogue is a very effective way of motivating people to make change.

18. Can I get a customized workout from my coach?

No, you cannot and there are several reasons for this:

Individual exercise prescription requires that a personal trainer knows your health risk factors and has tested your limits. Life Practice is not structured to do this and advises you to consult your physician for appropriate exercise prescription resources.

Life Practice is designed to be simple, easy to use and affordable for anyone. The most important requirement is that your doctor knows that you are starting an exercise regimen, understands what the Life Practice program entails and has given you any restrictions or limitations that are important.

Although there is no substitute for one-on-one personal training, we feel that many people cannot afford a personal trainer and many do not have the time to meet regularly with a personal trainer. Life Practice coaches help motivate you to do the basics - things that you know you should be doing, but have difficulty doing on your own.
