Jillian
Michaels on NBC's Today Show
In this interview from NBC's Today Show from October
2009, Jillian Michaels introduces her new TV show called
Losing it with Jillian Michaels. The TV show will have
Jillian moving in with a number of families across the
U.S. for seven days to show them how to live a healthier
lifestyle and steps to lose weight safely.
A
key section of the video are questions that Jilliam
Michaels answers from the Today Show audience. In
one Q/A, a viewer states he only has about 30 minutes
to workout each week and is looking for a solution.
Jillian discusses "Circuit training" --
a process that helps burn fat at a maximum rate. Circuit
training is a process where you do many different
exercises without rest in between. It is a combo of
resistance training and cardio, which burns optimal
calories. The goal is to get your intensity to 85%
of your maximum heart rate.
Another
Q/A from the audience is from a couple who is trying
to get started on a weight loss program. Jillian suggests
they look for ways to incorporate methods to get fit
as part of their lifestyle. She suggests avoiding
the typical gym routine and instead look for activities
they can do togehter such as hiking, yoga or even
or taking a healthy cooking class together.
Another
viewer asks about economical methods to exercise as
they had to cancel their gym membership. Jillian Michaels
states that they still have their #1 fitness tool
-- their body. She suggests doing situps, pushups,
run up and down stairs or jump rope. All of these
activities are great methods to lose weight and can
be done anywhere for free. Jillian does suggest to
the viewer that it is important to do the exercises
correctly and explains there are many great videos
on the web that explain proper ways of perfoming an
exercise.
