America's toughest trainer?

     Last Christmas, my family got a kinnect for our x box and along with that, Santa brought us the Biggest Loser workout.. my mom must have told him how much I love to workout or something. My mom absolutely LOVES watching The Biggest Loser so when she has it on, I sometimes tune in, and obviously Jillian Michael's a pretty legit trainer if she has a show on helping people become more fit.

     I have totally been into Jillian Michaels before and her way of looking at fitness, but when I began my Biggest Loser workout, where basically it's Jillian Michaels training you, I fell in love. She has been said to be one of America's toughest trainers, and while getting my research on, i found this to be pretty much the truth. Jillian Michaels is one tough chick. She is all about getting in shape and getting the body you want by hard work and dedication, which I guess most trainers would be, as I have also found this to be about the only way to get and stay in shape. One thing I absolutely LOVE about Jillian Michaels is that she will take crap from no one! If I were ever lucky enough to be trained by her, I would feel like I was at football camp on Remember the Titans. There will be no whining or complaining ever when Jillian Michaels is in the room. If you want it, you work for it.
     This video is the perfect example of Jillian, training hard!! Check it out.    ...plus, it's on Ellen so its funnnnny!!!

XOXO-

My Main Obsession:

I am OBSESSED with the Tracy Anderson Method. I just look at this body and die with jealousy. 
I am totally into researching what all my favorite celebrities are doing for their workouts, and as I was watching E! News one day, I came across this Tracy Anderson. They were doing a segment on her because she trains a lot of A-listers such as Gweneth Paltrow, Madonna, Nicole Richie, etc. so I was intrigued. I went on to research more about her and became obsessed. Not only is she the same height as I am (5 foot even), she has one of the hottest bodies I have seen and all those celebrities she trains are all the bodies I envy. After the first time I saw her on E! News, I started seeing her everywhere! I started following her on twitter and she would advertise for her segments on E! News at least once a month, as well as QVC, which she is also on all the time. I figured she was probably a big deal and that her workouts must work pretty well if Madonna- the fitness guru- asked her to go on tour with her. I saw that she has a book that of course I HAD to buy, and read it in record time. Then, I was sold. I had to have her workout DVDs which I quickly became obsessed with and she totally sold me on the theory of her method. I am all for trying out new things, especially in the workout world, but Tracy Anderson has my workout heart for now.
