Today I listened to Jillian Michael’s Take to the Gym podcast from 11/25/11. I love Jillian Michaels because she is very motivational and has excellent health and exercise advice. She is also very down to earth and sassy. This particular podcast was interesting because she was trying to describe how to position your body for weight lifting. I’m not a gym person, so it was difficult for me to follow the positions she was describing.
Another interesting part of this podcast was that Jillian was giving out emotional advice to a caller who was saying she was overly hard on herself. She sounded like a therapist. I even looked up her qualifications online after listening to her podcast. As I thought, she does not have any training in psychology/therapy. The caller indicated several times that Jillian was spot on in her advice though. It made me have that much more respect for Jillian. She is not just about healing the body, she wants to heal the mind too.
Jillian Michaels is probably best known for her appearances on NBC’s the Biggest Loser. Her name has become so associated with fitness and weight loss that she has created her own brand name. She has three different training certificates, but her results speak for themselves.
