Biggest Loser fitness trainer Jillian Michaels knows how to tell others to get in shape but in Ok Magazine we finally get a glimpse at what she does on her own time to keep herself in such tip-top shape. Firstly, she was asked how often she workouts, she responded,

“When we’re not shooting I try to do five hours a week and when we are I’m lucky to get in three hours a week. My body goes from a size 2 to a 4 and I gain 5 pounds. You’ll see it from the beginning of the season to the end when I get tired. We’re working 14-hour days and when that happens, you need to be very mindful of your food.”

Jillian also revealed how her food intake changes while she’s filming. She explained,

“I allow myself less when I work a lot and don’t have time to work out as much. There’s no drinking whatsoever. I don’t get to have my organic peanut butter cups or eat as much period. I usually go from a500 calorie breakfasts to 300 and being able to have sweets at night is gone, as is a glass of wine and tequila shots, they go.”

However, when she is working out regularly she has a trainer that puts her through one tough workout session:

“I work my ass off. I do Capoeria, it’s a Brazilian form of martial arts. I have a trainer that I’m crazy about and we do crazy shit like sledge hammers, kettle bells, holistics amd biometric pull-ups. I do mixed martial arts, I run, I’m very cutting edge and intense.”

When asked if she has to work hard to stay in such great shape she explained that she was an overweight kid and that even now she still has to be very conscious about her diet and exercise.

“I work my ass off, it is no joke. You watch me go up and down. I’m not a fitness guru because I’m not that girl who feels the burn and loves to exercise. I hate it, but it’s about rebuilding my life and fitness is my tool. If I were to take a contractor and ask if he loves his hammer, he would say no but he’s proud of the house that he just built. That’s what fitness is. It’s a means to and end. I can get to the core of someone’s self destructive behavior in the gym and can reverse 90 percent of overweight diseases like stroke, hypertension and sleep apnea in that gym.”
