Jillian Is My Hero
As anyone who knows me well enough knows that I am completely obsessed with “The Biggest Loser”. I just adore watching that show because they are so inspirational and it is incredibly motivating to watch their transformations due to all their hard work and dedication. So, It made my morning when I saw that on Yahoo’s homepage, one of their top articles was 5 fitness and weight loss tips from Jillian (one of the trainers on the show). So, I just thought I’d share what she had to say. Enjoy!
- Don’t apologize for self-preservation. Many times we find little ways to make sure we don’t overeat, like pouring water or lots of salt on top of food so we will stop picking at it when out with friends. Don’t apologize for that. It is your own way to make sure you reach your health goals.
- The quickest way to lose weight through cardio is by running. It is such a great workout for your body. But don’t force yourself to do it if you have bad knees and so on.
- Realize that the show isn’t reality when it comes to viewers. We have to work and go about life. We can’t just workout for 4-5 hours a day. That means be realistic when planning your weight loss goals.
- Losing weight is not all about willpower. It is a collection of great moments, more than anything.
- Learn to say “thank you” when someone compliments your weight loss. Don’t self-deprecate by telling them how much more work you have to do to lose all the weight. Be proud of your accomplishments!
