GO ONLINE TO FIT FITNESS INTO YOUR BUSY EVERYDAY LIFE

Press release August 26, 2009 Lifestyle

Motivation is well known as the hardest obstacle to stay fit or to get in shape. Arena365.com provides the solution for the eternal motivation problem and offers easy planning, social networking and peer reviews by friends, teammates and not least – yourself. Arena365.com is launched today and it’s a free service.

Achieving a healthy active lifestyle is becoming the main goal for an increasing number of persons. According to health authorities adults should be active no less than 210 minutes a week. But a busy lifestyle is not easily combined with sport and fitness.

Lack of motivation and absence of accessible shareware planning tools are well known as large obstacles to stay fit or to get in shape. But how can we boost our motivation? Arena365.com holds the answer and peers’ support and the setting of personal goals are key factors.

Sharing data motivates

“In the US it is called living by numbers, in sociology it is called observer’s effect and in science it is referred to as peer reviews. The simple answer to increasing motiviation lies in creating data about physical activity. Be it miles ran, hours played or repetions made it can all be transformed into data, that can be shared with peers, friends and teammates. Showing results and achievements to likeminded or people who care for you is a tremendously strong motivator. Add a number of planning tools and you have the strong cocktail we think Arena365.com is,” says Brian Sejersen Orland, co-founder of Arena365.com.

During this summer some 450 testpilotes from Italy, Denmark, France and the UK have been testing Arena365.com and the response is very positive. Both from individuals, trainers and teams who have been using the planning tools. The testpilots noticed that they tended to run more, use the bike more often and also that planning their activities suddenly became a lot easier.
