Tonight I went to see Jillian Michaels at the Fabulous Fox in Atlanta. Got tickets over a month ago for $59 and ended up with 5th row seats. I wasn't sure of what to expect since she had posted on Facebook that it was an intimate experience (not sure how you do that with 1000+ people) and she delivered.
She started out the show with an overview of nutrition and I learned a lot about reading labels and the importance of eating organic. Her visuals were powerful and hit home. She then went on to explain things like heart rate, metabolism, etc and again I learned a lot. She went on to talk about exercise and the best way to go about it. She suggest circuit training using body weight for resistance rather than weight machines. I'm doing boot camp which is circuit training so I was happy to hear that I'm on the right track.
From there she went into the WHY you should lose weight and reach for your goals. She talked about how on the biggest loser she is so hard core and makes the contestants feel uncomfortable because no one wants to live in that uncomfortable state. It pushes them to move through it. Made sense the way she said it. And she also reminded us that no one is going to lay the things you want in life in your lap. We must continually strive to meet our own goals. We are our best advocate and our own worst enemy.
I left feeling empowered to make more informed decisions and that's what it's all about!
