The Truth About Jillian Michaels

Sex sells, and she is sexy and cut. Dragon master taught her everything, but young and sexy sells.

Her own physique is not what I am aiming for as such - something more like the blonde girl in 30ds. I like the work out I am not stupid enough to buy anyone's diet pills. I look at the workout and especially in level 3 I see moves that I have seen Tracey Anderson use and tons of people slate her. If it works it works. And that is about all I am interested in

Honestly, what she does in her personal life has nothing to do with her workouts. I did 30DS as one of my first programs and it works if you work it. And most of the people who are promoting their dvds stop in the middle of their programs to talk about proper form and other tips, but that doesn't make them out of shape. And really, how many of the moves that she does in her workouts have you seen done in the gym or on another person's programs? Tons of them.

I think he's just a bitter dude for whatever reason.

I absolutely looove 30 day shred. Jillian's no nonsense attitude and 25 minute work outs push me to get up every morning at 5.45 to do it before going to work and I feel set up for the day. If she didn't get her body shape doing that particular work out then good because to be honest her body is a little too masculine for me as well.

As for the supplements, I've heard that a few PTs recommend them as they give you extra energy to complete your work outs and supposedly boost your metabolism to maximise the effects of your diet changes. If you personally find the diet and exercise you're doing is enough to help you lose weight then great but not everyone does and certain pills can help. I personally drink a load of coffee which basically has the same effect.

Bump

seriously, she had surgery to shave her jaw and brow down to size after taking so many steroids....? I'll believe that if someone can show me proof that such a surgery even exists.... and if it does exist, then I'd want to see evidence that it was actually done, i.e. pics from before and after.

He's accusing her of copyright infringement, i.e. stealing his workouts, etc, but why doesn't he sue her for it? He'd be awarded a huge amount of money. Unless of course he doesn't actually have a case, i.e. she didn't steal his workouts, or what she "stole" was in fact common knowledge among fitness professionals, i.e. not something he can claim copyright over in the first place.

Her personal life is her personal life, sounds like he's exaggerating that to the max and so what if she has a girlfriend and sits on her lap, ffs.

If that product he's talking about is so dangerous, then why isn't he campaigning to the FDA and other authorities to get it banned? Why not attack the company that's making the product, rather than the celebrity who's endorsing it... many celebrities don't fully know what they're endorsing, because the company sells it to them then gives them lots of money. She might not even be aware of the deaths. He paints the whole thing like this whole product is 100% her creation, that she chose to include dangerous ingredients knowing all the danger, etc.... it doesn't work like that. I'm not saying she's 100% innocent either, celebrities should be careful to do their research about what products their names are being used to endorse, but it's not a conspiracy to kill people either.

Whole thing sounds like either sour grapes or a long term feud which has got out of hand and is six of one half a dozen of the other. I'm not even a fan of jillian michaels, or the biggest loser, and I've read a lot of criticism about how that show is run, so it really wouldn't surprise me if there's a few skeletons in her closet but really he doesn't come across as being any better, and this whole mentality of "exposing" someone is just puerile. If he's really got evidence of her doing something illegal, or of copyright infringement, or that the product she's being used to endorse is dangerous, then he should go to the authorities or take proper legal advice about it, not make a video on you tube "exposing" her.

I personally drink a load of coffee which basically has the same effect.

Yeah but for those with small or weak bladders that can put a damper on exercise. I can't drink ANYTHING before working out or I'm going to the loo ALL the time. Personally I take the Hydroxycut...daily..... I'm fine. I'm not dead & I been on them before every workout for about 6 months.

They work for me.

it's more fun to watch her talk when the mic is still on:

Okay, through reading some of these posts...I kinda want to try a JM DVD! I need help improving! What video is recommended...or are they mostly the same?

Need to watch this later.

You can tell she's pretty fake. She can't even make it through one of her whole work outs. Every second she gets she stops and starts talking about pointless and worthless commonsense "tips". blah blah. She's just really annoying and obviously skinny fat in the vids I saw.

Not to say the workouts are worthless, just that I don't think she can perform them.

While I do agree that some of her comments are pointless, I have yet to do anyone's workout video where the trainer actually did the whole entire workout. Tony Horton in the P90X videos doesn't do the entire workout either.

I watched the utube video a while ago and was pretty shocked by the claims although allot of it seemed plausible (I think she is probably a bit of a b*%£h!) - However I don’t really care, it is her personal business. I buy her DVDs and I get a good work out - job done........ the guy seems like a bit of a hater anyway :noway:

Jillian is known to be a royal B*tch. In fact, she won't even speak to the contestants of the Biggest Loser unless she is being filmed. I never cared for her before and cared for her even less after hearing that from a friend who's been around her.

whoa :noway:

There is absolutely nothing feminine about her body shape. Nothing.

By whose definition? This sexist rubbish....
