Jillian Michaels Tips on Weight Loss| THE DAILY MEAL INTERVIEW!!!

Jillian Michaels is a great fitness trainer in my opinion and overall fitness guru who is well known for being on "The Biggest Loser, The Doctors," and her own television series "Just Jillian," and her app, " Jillian Michaels - Training and Meal Plans ," which was released to the iTunes and Android app stores in April. She's an overall health machine, skilled in kickboxing, yoga, Pilates, plyometrics, and weight training.

Here at the fitness scene we have the interview from The daily Meal on  Jillian Michaels. Asking important questions regarding a several of topics - from the best breakfast to her favorite dietary supplement to what foods you should avoid before hitting the beach.

The Daily Meal : What are the best foods to eat for breakfast?

Jillian Michaels : There is no right or wrong food. The key here is to make sure the foods you eat are whole and that you get all three macronutrients into your breakfast for optimal nutrition and energy. For example, you don't want to have a processed white bagel . It's better to have a piece of whole-grain organic toast. And with that toast you would want a scrambled egg or two so that you get protein and healthy fat in with your carbs. So any meal with clean protein, fat, and carbs is ideal as long you get those macros in their most whole and natural form. This is why in my app we have meal plans for people with all kinds of food preferences from vegan to paleo, omnivore to gluten free , etc. But I always make sure they are getting the right amount of food for their needs and goals as well as the best quality and combination of foods for optimal health and performance.

Q: If running puts too much pressure on your joints, what other forms of cardio training do you recommend?

A: I don't subscribe to one form of exercise. I know that variety is key when it comes to effective fitness, avoiding injuries, and preventing plateau. So, if impact is an issue for you, try the following: incline walking, biking, swimming, rowing, elliptical (but with a good level of resistance).

Q: Are there any dietary supplements or protein shakes you swear by?

A: I am a big supplement person, but when it comes to supplements the quality is key. I would definitely recommend (if you have the means) to take one high-quality multivitamin a day , krill oil, and a probiotic. I also supplement with clean organic caffeine-based products before I train. With any supplement, though, be sure to get clearance from your doctor.

Q: What are some foods that you shouldn't eat before hitting the beach?

A: Ha! Anything with salt because it will bloat you. We certainly don't need that before jumping into our suit!

Awesome 15 Minute Bodyweight Workout| GET FIT IN 15 MINUTES

Did you know that you can get stronger, leaner and not to mention healthier in only 15 minutes a day with bodyweight workouts that you can do almost anywhere.

sound like a dream come true huh?

You cant believe everything you hear in the fitness industry, But the 15 minute workouts Im about to show you are the real deal. I want to quickly go over these workouts with you so it can make perfect sense.

(Down below, I'll give you a free workout routine so you can try it out for yourself)

First:

Each workout routine is comprised of full-body bodyweight exercises. A study found that full-body resistance training burns up to 35% more fat than aerobic exercise alone by their self.

Second:

By performing bodyweight workouts in a quick circuit (a style of training called 'Metabolic Resistance Training'), you create an 'afterburn' effect that lasts for up to 38 hours after your workout. The only thing that means is that your body will be burning extra calories for almost 2 days to recover from just one routine.

Third:

Most of the calories and fat you burn does not happen during the workout itself, but instead during the 'afterburn' effect mentioned earlier. Its said that15 minutes of resistance training was just as effective in creating this 'afterburn' effect as a 35 minute workout.

And finally:

Resistance training builds strength and muscle or helps to maintain muscles that you already have. As you lose fat, the appearance of the muscle that was previously covered up becomes more pronounced. It's this that gives you the 'toned' look. So resistance training will help you get that toned look.

What all this means...

While an occasional 30-60 minute gym workout is better than nothing... a 15 minute, full-body, fast-paced bodyweight workout is better than just about anything.

Now you might be wondering:

"Where can I get one of these 15-min bodyweight workouts!?"

Well, here's one you can try right now...

Perform each of the following exercises in order, doing reps for 30 seconds and then resting for 30 seconds before moving onto the next exercise. After performing each exercise once, return to the first exercise to begin the second circuit. Complete 3 circuits in total.

(click on the exercise names for video demonstrations)

1. Mountain Climber / 30:30

2. Bodyweight Squat / 30:30

3. Incline Push-Up / 30:30

4. Glute Bridge / 30:30

5. Alternating Reverse Lunge / 30:30

It might look easy, but I guarantee if you try it you'll see how effective it is.

There's just one catch...

If you want to continue getting leaner and stronger, then you can't keep doing this workout forever. Not only would you be bored out of your mind (and probably end up quitting), you also won't make any progress unless your workouts gradually get more challenging over time.

And that's exactly why we created Healthykinfolk.com.

When you join Healthykinfolk.com you'll get a new 15 minute bodyweight workout emailed to you. The workouts alternate between ones like the one above to burn fat and build strength, and mobility sessions to prevent injury, help you get more flexible, and boost recovery.

We've designed the program to make it as easy and straightforward as possible for you to lose fat and tone up. I'll share all the details with you tomorrow.

But in the meantime, get started with the workout above.
