Slender figure with Jillian Michaels is not just a smartphone app, books, CDs and workouts on the official Lionsgate BeFit channel. Gillian gained fame as a trainer on the television project “Biggest Loser. There she showed herself as a tough and uncompromising girl. Running through the hot desert, jumping, a bunch of various movements and all this in order for the participants to lose weight. After the project and official “last day” training, Gillian’s personal business took off. Her workouts are high intensity interval cardio. Her approach to nutrition is calorie counting and “clean eating” rolled into one. How to lose weight with Gillian?
Theoretical preparation and nutrition
Gillian is not your kefir aerobics trainer fasting days and different “don’t eat before, don’t eat after, if possible, don’t eat at all.” In her book “Slim for Life,” she outlines the following nutritional principles:
- you must eat. Be that as it may, and no matter how enormous the weight may seem, you cannot live on a leaf of lettuce and one chicken breast a day;
- The diet should contain proteins, fats and carbohydrates. It is not recommended to exclude whole grain bread, brown rice and other sources of carbohydrates. You need to dose them, and arrange timing according to the time of day. Gillian is based on the different rates of carbohydrate oxidation in different people. Let’s say, if you can’t sleep after a serving of fruit at night, it’s fast for you, and you can eat carbohydrates 4-5 hours before bedtime, and it’s advisable to include half an hour of light physical activity just before going to bed. But those who have eaten fruit and can sleep are not very lucky in this life. For the sake of losing weight, they will have to limit themselves to carbohydrates with a low glycemic index - buckwheat, oatmeal, legumes, and unsweetened fruits, and they should be distributed in small portions throughout the day;
- Gillian believes that fast weight loss there is no problem. It is only important not to lower the calorie content of the diet below the basal metabolic rate, and not to eat only semi-finished products;
- In general, Gillian calculates the diets for her clients according to the Harris-Benedict formula. And it assumes that their physical activity is from “light” to “moderate.” This is how she views her interval training. A remark is needed here. This is true for an American driving to a nearby store by car. And it may be too harsh a measure for our compatriot who walks around the city. In general, if you're losing more than a pound per week of calorie counting, you'll need to increase your caloric intake to avoid hitting an early plateau;
The Harris-Benedict formula looks like this:
Women: basal metabolic rate = 655.1 + 9.6 * body weight (kg); + 1.85 x height (cm); - 4.68 x age (years);
Men: basal metabolic rate = 66.47 + 13.75 * body weight (kg); + 5.0 x height (cm); - 6.74 x age (years).
Using this formula, you can only calculate the basal metabolic rate. To find out how many calories you spend per day in general, you need to supplement the formula with adjustments for the level of physical activity (for this you can use the same coefficients as in the calculation).
- you need to build a diet from products such as oatmeal, brown rice, whole grain bread, white meat of all types of poultry and fish, salmon (limited, 2-3 servings per week, wild salmon), unsweetened fruits and berries, herbs, vegetables and salads;
- You can eat at fast food, but you should take a salad without dressing, or any chicken burger without breading (in our country this is sold only in the Subway chain) on gray bread, or without bread at all;
- in regular cafes we always take grilled meat or fish, brown rice as a side dish (if available) and a vegetable salad with dressing separately;
- if you overeat, we don’t do fasting or “very training” days, we just return to the normal regime and continue to lose weight again;
- Supplements you can take include green tea extract and fish oil in capsules. Vitamins - as prescribed by the doctor, the rest does not make sense.
Criticism of Jillian Michaels' meal plan
Everything looks great until official dietetics gets involved. ADA guidelines suggest that a person losing weight should not lose more than a pound per week unless they are morbidly obese. A faster pace, according to a respected organization, can lead to various health problems, and faster. Losing weight “at speed” is also associated with problems with the musculoskeletal system. Still, a low-calorie diet interferes with recovery from high-impact training, which should give Gillian's fans pause.
The American media also criticize Jill for allegedly feeding her subjects on the show fat burners with large doses of caffeine. However, in its later products, no pills appear as a mandatory part of the program.
Workouts with Gillian: from the simplest to the mind-blowing
Jill writes that half an hour of training a day is enough for you in any case. Whatever your goal is, to lose weight, or tone muscles, or gain the desired shape, you can achieve it in such a short period of time. You just need to combine cardio and strength exercises in one cycle, do interval training and not skip classes. Jillian recommends her clients 1 day of rest, and 1 day of “cross-training” without weights. Typically, her clients spend 5 days a week lifting dumbbells and doing interval jumping, 1 day a week doing something like dynamic yoga, and 1 day walking around the neighborhood as a form of relaxation. Gillian's video programs help solve any problem within the framework of such a plan. They are available on the official BiFit Lionsgate channel and can be used for free.
- Yoga Meltdown
Gillian's first yoga workout contains elements of Ashtanga Vinyasa, a sequence of dynamic poses. They are combined with static holds of lunges, squats and push-ups, which should “tighten” the muscles, according to the author. The intensity ranges from low to medium, there are only 2 workouts, and they are suitable for any level of training. This is the only Jillian program available that does not involve jumping.
- Yoga Inferno
An advanced yoga program is more complex not due to difficult poses. They are just accessible to every person with a little experience of home fitness training. It is “inferno” thanks to jumping, which is designed to help us burn more calories. The program is intended for those who are afraid to train even with such micromotors that we see in other videos. But the “calorie burning” factor is very individual. With Inferno, you can use both a lot if you move at full amplitude and put effort into each jump, and quite at the level of regular home carpet gymnastics.
- 30 day Shred (Lose weight in 30 days)
This is a series of 3 training cycles, which must be alternated for 10 days each. The program runs every day and is interval training according to the principle of 1 strength exercise, 1 cardio exercise (there will be jumping and burpees, do you love Jillian yet?) and 1 abdominal movement. This cycle is repeated 2 times for each group of exercises, which constitutes interval training. At the beginning - warm-up, at the end - stretching. Everything is quite standard, it is recommended to do exercises with light dumbbells. But if you do it with difficult ones, you can even get good muscle definition.
- Shred it with weights
Kettlebells are trending in the US. Gillian also decided to make a video with weights. For which, in principle, she paid dearly. This cycle was not criticized only by the lazy. Swings with the wrong technique, jerks using only the muscles of the arms and shoulders, female models who show absolutely everything wrong... But with all this, if you learn how to do jerks and jerks correctly, this is an excellent workout for losing weight. But not for a beginner, but for an “advanced” level. This is Jill's most energy-intensive program, especially if you use 12 and 16 kg weights, and not the “micro” ones we see with models.
- Hard body
“Extended” workouts up to 40 minutes in the same interval style as 30 daytime weight loss, but with more complex exercises. True, complex here means combinations of squats with dumbbell biceps curls, and not working with above-average weights. You will spend about a minute under load, which allows you to classify this program more as cardio training than strength training. There are also several levels of difficulty, and you can also increase the weight of the dumbbells.
- Training for Biggest Loser
These are several videos - Banish Fat Boost Metabolism No more Trouble Zones and interval cardio with the participants of the show. Training helps those who are used to alternating cardio and strength training every day. In “Burn the Fat” you will jump, do kickboxing punches and pump your abs, in “Problem Zones” you will do squats, push-ups and lunges with micro dumbbells. These are hour-long programs, according to most users - the most complex.
Jillian's Online Program
You don't have to limit yourself to ready-made videos. Gillian has an online weight loss program builder. You pay money and receive a customized smartphone application training exercises, diet, control and community access. This program has good reviews; it differs from everything listed above not in its approach, but in the variety of food recipes (American, of course, if you don’t like burgers, sandwiches, salads and macaroni and cheese, you don’t have to buy this), as well as exercises.
Criticism of Gillian
Serious people criticize training with Gillian for being traumatic for a beginner. In fact, before doing the same squats with biceps curls, it would be better to learn how to do these two exercises separately with normal technique. In addition, training a beginner’s cardio system can be achieved with simpler goals - rowing, elliptical trainer and walking, for example. Well, strength training in the world of fitness still means working with heavier weights than micro dumbbells. Meanwhile, classes for a person who already knows how to move correctly can really bring more benefits than normal walking and working on cardio equipment. It is recommended that you start your weight loss workouts with Jillian and work your way up by combining her cardio videos with more serious strength training.
Jillian Michaels is a famous television fitness trainer. The results her students achieve make even the most desperate people believe in themselves. Training with Jillian Michaels is always interesting and varied. They are full of exercises from a variety of fitness areas: Pilates, aerobics, yoga, kickboxing and others. To enhance the calorie burning process, Gillian uses various weights, such as weights and dumbbells. Due to accessibility and simplicity sports equipment, which are used during classes, and most importantly due to the really noticeable results, Jillian Michaels’ programs have truly become a hit among people working out at home.
