Jillian Michaels Reveals Her Fitness Secrets: From Diet to Recovery – Us Weekly

Diet Comments Off on Jillian Michaels Reveals Her Fitness Secrets: From Diet to Recovery – Us Weekly

Jillian Michaels has been helping people achieve their fitness goals for over 30 years and shes spilling her secrets for success with Us Weekly.

The bottom line is, you really kind of need all [different types of workouts] and you want to try to incorporate [them] all, Michaels, 49, told Us exclusively while promoting her line of iTOUCH Wearables. The most important thing [is] it doesnt have to be perfect.

After becoming certified as a personal trainer and opening her Beverly Hills sports medicine facility in 2002, Michaels rose to fame as a trainer on the reality series The Biggest Loser. Throughout her decades working in the wellness industry, Michaels has become a firm believer that theres no such thing as the best type of workout.

When it comes to different types of training, whether its strength training, cardiovascular conditioning, HIIT training, theyre all important, she told Us. Its kind of like saying, Whats more important, Vitamin C or Vitamin D? So, you dont need to be overwhelmed.

Friendship and fitness! Celebs are just likeUs theyd rather stay in shape with the help of their friends or significant others. Whether its assuming the downward dog position, hitting the pavement or lifting weights, stars enjoy shedding pounds with their famous acquaintances by their side. Reese Witherspoon, for example, goes on hikes with her []

Recovery is nearly as important as the exercise itself. The reality is that when were sore after a workout, whats going on is we have these micro-tears in the muscle, and thats a good thing, Michaels explained. When youre sore, you really want to drink a lot of water. Being hydrated, getting your sleep for recovery, and doing some light cardio activity is going to heal you more quickly.

Most importantly, Michaels warned against overtraining muscles. Dont go train that same muscle again, because then those little mico-tears can become a little bit bigger, and then you get into over-training, she said. Recovery is really important, and that comes with rest.

Drama, drama, drama! Jillian Michaels is not afraid to speak her mind, no matter what the topic, resulting in many feuds with health professionals and celebrities over the years. The former Biggest Loser star has publicly called out Andy Cohen, Lizzo and Teddi Mellencamp for their differing opinions and questioned fitness trends and weight []

While fasting before a workout might be trendy, Michaels isnt convinced. Depending on your fitness goals, the reality is that you should probably eat a little something before you go to the gym, she told Us. Based on everything Ive read, and everything Ive experienced doing this since I was 17 years old, [fasted workouts] are less effective. When you have blood sugar available, it gives you more power.

Michaels noted that the key is not to overthink it when it comes to nutrition, but eating a balanced meal or snack at least an hour before hitting the gym can provide a valuable burst of energy. She typically enjoys a protein shake, yogurt parfait or peanut butter and banana whole grain toast.
