JILLIAN QUOTES:

“I’m not really a resolution type of person because I think that any day is an opportunity to change your life. So I don’t really look for a period of time where I go “oh yes, this is what I’m going to change.” Whenever I realize that I am unhappy with something or I’m off course and I need to make a quick course correction, I can do that whether its January or June. But the reality is that it is a new year and you want to be thinking about, what you are going to change or how you are going to evolve. January really lends itself to that—what’s that next evolution of self.”

“Don’t be intimidated, push yourself, get out of comfort zone, not only will you see how strong you can get but you’ll see incredible results.

“Zumba? Yeah! Anything where you’re shaking butt is great. It needs to be fun or you’re not going to do it. If you love it, do it as often as you can, that’s what counts.”

“Weight loss is simple math, eating right is common sense, we know what’s bad for us and what isn’t.”

“A lot of times in relationships there is one person that says you workout too much, your obsessed.  You know you are overdoing it if you are spending more than 5-6 hours a week in the gym. I really, really think you need one day off—your body needs to rest and you need that recovery time. So, if you are going over 6 hour a week, you definitely may have an exercise addiction—unless you are morbidly obese and you have a ton of weight to lose. That’s a different story. Sometimes in relationships that person might be threatened so they may think, “you spend more time in the gym than you do with me” or “I’m not healthy and you’re super healthy so you must judge me for not being healthy.” If that’s the case the you need to communicate how important your workout is, validate how much you love your partner. And also try to incorporate them into the things that you love, in this case fitness.”

“To burn calories, the best thing you can do is high intensity interval training. The reality is that the more intensely you train, the more calories you are going to burn while you are doing it and long after you’ve done it. Now, if you’re saying “I want to run 5 miles over the course of an hour” or I want to work out 20 minutes really hard. Quite honestly, you’ll probably come up pretty even. You should really shift your workouts back and forth if you can do an hour one day of long intensity endurance cardio. Great train the slow twitch fibers. Then the next day do high intensity, fast twitch. Train metabolically, which means very dynamic training that boost metabolism.  But most of us do not the time to spend an hour to workout in the gym.  I am going to recommend intensity. Fast and furious, with good form of course so you don’t get injured. But in my opinion that is the best way for conditioning, speedy weightloss and performance enhancement.”
