I really enjoy watching the people on The Biggest Loser in their final show of each season. It's amazing how they have changed their lives and their bodies so completely. The show really does help to insipire people and change lives. But it has one annoying part. Jillian Micheals.

It's not Jillian herself I find annoying. I'm sure she's a good trainer and gets good results. It's the way the show has created a character for her that I find annoying.

When you watch interviews will Jillian you see someone who, while no nonsense, is a caring and pleasent person. Then you watch her scream at, belittle and rant at the people on the show and I'm disgusted. I know they are doing it for ratings and people seem to like Jillian screaming her head off, but it does a disservice to all trainers out there. It makes people they that's the way we all are, bullies who break you down and build you back up after we have you in tears.

In fact the complete opposite is true. Our whole job to to build you up, not break you down. A good trainer doesn't just give you a good workout. They should be able to push you farther than you thought you could go, encourage you to make changes in your life, and make your time with them fun.

Just think about it, would you want someone in your face yelling at you while you tried to workout? I've had a few football coaches like that and it's not a lot of fun.

The bottom line is remember that Jillian is playing a role on the show when you see her yelling and ranting. That's not who she is, and you can tell that by how the people on the show love her. She likely a nice person who has a bit of a no nonsense streak. Hey Gina's like that too.

Just don't expect that all trainers are like that. We're usually nice people. :)
