Inspirational Person of the Month


Get ready for Keeping off the Freshman Fifteen, and the Pounds that Follow’s first ever Inspirational Person of the Month!!! This lucky person will be honored with a blog post dedicated to their success in maintaining a healthy lifestyle.  With this, I hope to show my readers how easy it is to be healthy and offer them tips from people who I deem to be “experts.”

Without further adieu, let me introduce to you one of my many role models…

Jillian Michaels!

Jillian Michaels is a fitness guru, who many may know from her time as a tough personal trainer on the TV series, The Biggest Loser.  Known for her pushy and persistent encouragement, Jillian Michaels has transformed people from couch potatoes to physically fit gods and goddesses.  Not only is she a famous personal trainer, Jillian strives to maintain overall health, not just physical.  She has multiple fitness plans, along with diet plans, but Jillian Michaels has a podcast that is FREE on iTunes that I recommend to everyone.

When I was first introduced to Jillian Michaels, I won’t lie she scared the hell out of me.  Her 30 Day Shred is intense and demanding.  It leaves you sore the next day and almost tentative to continue after day one, especially if you are new to exercise.  


BUT don’t let that scare you away! If you’re willing to try out Jillian’s routine I suggest looking at it like a challenge.  I know for myself, if I don’t fulfill a goal or finish a “challenge” I set for the week I feel disappointed in myself, and no one likes that right?  Plus, making a point to follow through and finish her hard workout routine will be a reward with in itself. YOU were able to complete something that most people chicken out of after day one.

I know for myself I was one of those chicken’s the first time I encountered Jillian Michaels, but now I’m giving it a go again to face the dragon-lady.  And if you’re not scared, I ask you to join me in the fight of physical fitness. Think you can handle it?
