Jillian Michaels says she's fitter at 40 than she was at 20, thanks to a healthy diet plan and rigorous workouts.
Michaels admits she hates to exercise, but hits the gym because she will not get fat and out of shape because of age.
"I refuse to accept aging as a descent into <strong><a href="http://www.stnirvanadietpills.com/3X-Slimming-Power-Japan-Lingzhi-Capsules.html">3x slimming power</a></strong> decrepitude," Jillian told Health. "And the irony is the fact that at 40, I'm in better shape than That i have ever been."
Michaels, that has helped countless people lose thousands of pounds through the years, said her weight loss secrets include fat-blasting treadmill workouts.
"Forget the elliptical," she said. "It's a waste of your time. Do incline walking instead. It's far more effective and burns a hell of a much more calories."
The 5-foot-3 Jillian, who once weighed 175 pounds, has easily maintained her 50-pound weight loss with exercise along with a healthy diet that eliminates processed fast foods.
Michaels said her best body part are her sculpted abs, and credits plank poses (such as side, extended and imbalanced) held for a full minute for her flat belly. Jillian revealed her fat blasting workout secrets in her fitness video, Jillian Michaels: 30 Day Shred.
Michaels, who had been 50 pounds heavier like a kid, said her weight problems made her more sympathetic to overweight and obese people.
"I thank God every single day for the exact life that I've had," she said. "Having been that kid who had been bullied makes me identify with the have-nots of the world. I realize what individuals are dealing with."
Jillian said the individual she'd most like to coach is Hillary Clinton. "I think she's going to be the next president, and I would like her to look good doing it." said Michaels.
Jillian, who recently left "The Biggest Loser" after a major falling-out with producers, said the main one beauty product she can't live without is coconut oil.
"I use coconut oil for everything," she said. "It's antimicrobial, it's anti-fungal, and it's moisturizing." Recent reports also show coconut oil aids weight loss.
The 5-foot-2 Michaels, who once tipped the scales at 175 pounds, has successfully maintained her 50-pound weight reduction for 20 years. She revealed her diet and fitness secrets in her own bestseller, Slim for a lifetime: My Insider Secrets.
Jillian, who's raising two children with wife Heidi Rhoades, admits being openly gay has been a small struggle because of some people's non-acceptance of homosexuality.
"The gay thing happens to be hard for me," she said. "When Heidi and I are out and somebody older asks, 'Are you sisters?' I say, 'We're friends.' I guess it <strong><a href="http://www.stnirvanadietpills.com/SlimEasy-Herbs-Capsule.html">slimeasy</a></strong> comes down from thinking that they will be shocked or disturbed.
"Look, If only I'd some strapping football player husband. It would be this type of dream to be 'normal' like that, but I'm simply not."
