The beginning of Virtual Personal Trainer
Today is the beginning and first blog of Virtual Personal Trainer, your online personal trainer
Origins and motivation
Virtual Personal Trainer uses unique science concepts to set our right “preset weight”. It has been first clinically tested and proved by myself (**UPDATE** Virtual Personal Trainer's methodology has been Scientifically Proven in Jan 2017; likewise, all my tools and apps have been recently validated in Dec 2017). Myself, Jose I was 47 years old when I created this approach (now on my 50s). I am originally from Spain with Masters in Biological Science, Food Technology, Nutrition, Organizational Engineering and PhD in Biology. I have more than 20 years of professional experience occupying leading positions both at private and public sectors. In the sports & fitness training world, I used to practice martial arts (Karate, Ninjutsu and Self-Defense), diving, ski, and I was a gym personal trainer at my 20s. Later on, I only practiced ski and snorkeling when I was on holiday. Because of my career, I put sports a bit apart for a few years. As of now, I am much of a world travel person. Perhaps because of my traveling experiences and relation with different cultures, one day I realised I was getting very fat and consciously unhealthy. I could not believe my weight was as much as 223 lbs (101 kgs). Too much business traveling and eating outside with no control over my food habits and spare time made me like that, I thought. But some day in July, 2012 I opened my eyes to the reality and that day was the beginning of a new resolution for me: "I never thought i will reach three ciphers. I will never be like this again", I promised myself.
