Personal Training with Jackie Warner (giveaway)

by

As I have rhymingly yammered above—I love me some Jackie Warner.

Yes, I agree that her first tv show kinda plummeted in the final season (Im more about the dumbbells than the drama) but I adored how she cared about & unflaggingly encouraged/supported her clients.

Her style reminded me so much of how I trained people when I owned my studio (I KNOW! Please to file under prideful & cross-reference under MizFit has chutzpah.).

She’s a cheertasker.

A stickler for form. Relentless in demanding her clients work to push themselves to their limits.  Yet always there to cheer them on & believing in them even when they are losing faith in themselves.

So it’s no surprise I leaped at the chance to review her first exercise DVD.

and YES.   While I may never have the $400/hr she demands for her one-on-one training sessions the Personal Training with Jackie DVD is a fantastic poor-MizFit’s second choice.

The DVD offers five different workout options: a 15 minute total body circuit, a 15 minute abs only circuit, a 15 minute lower body circuit, a 15 minute upper body circuit, and a 40 minute total body circuit.

What did I love about the DVD?

  • It’s almost as though she is right there with you. As an ex-personal trainer my favorite part of the entire dvd is how clear, concise, thorough & SAFE Jackie’s instructions are.  She not only describes and demonstrates the exercises—she adjusts her ‘background exercisers’ during the workout and, if you are anything like I am, the adjustments are ones YOU needed to make as well.
  • The workout is broken down into upper body, lower body & core work. So many videos merely gloss over the core work and Jackie divides her workout equally among these three pieces. Only glimpse at her midsection was all I needed to be a believer that her workout plan, well, works.
  • It’s fast paced. As Ive said before I tend to grow bored during most DVD workouts.  Jackie employs lots of supersets & what she calls power burns (doing an exercise for a full minute & then switching) which made the workout fly by for me.
  • The Tornado loved it as well. As a mom it is more than a SMALL bonus that my daughter enjoyed hanging with me while I did the 15 minute workouts. She joined in for some parts (she’s a kickass jumping jack’er) & also pretended to be The Warner at others and freely adjusted/critiqued my form.

What didn’t I like about the DVD (subtitle: MizFit reaches for some sort of criticism):

  • I wished Jackie had worn shorter shorts. As odd as that sounds I do think Id have benefited from seeing her legs during the lower body exercises (form) & I do think Id have benefited from seeing her legs during the lower body exercises (motivation. she is in amazing shape, People.  Seriously.)
  • I wasn’t in it. Who doesnt need a pretty-coordinated yet happy to remain in the background MizFit in her video? I was fortunate, however, to chat with The Warner by phone & procure some of her tips & secrets—watch for that post in upcoming weeks.

Would I recommend the DVD?

Yes and without hesitation. I wont lie and say I found the 40 minute total body routine to be easy (at all) yet I dont think it’s out of reach for any of us.

I’d recommend the DVD with the caveat of starting with the 15 minute workouts FIRST and working up to the 40 minute routine.

(Or, should you wanna employ the MizFit approach, begin with the 15 minute workouts & watch the 40 minute routine from the comfort of your couch till youre ready to join in.  Good times.)

Attention skimmers! Now for the giveaway portion of our post. One about which Im really excited because I found the workout to be motivating, challenging, TornadoDistracting & fun.

For one lucky reader-winner I have a copy of Personal Training with Jackie:

  1. Seriously? An answer from Jackie? Can’t WAIT to watch my dvr’d Thintervention. My question: What do you say to yourself on days when you don’t feel like working out, and is there something that would work for a variety of excuses, i.e., general fatigue, hip/knee pain, bad attitude, too busy, et al. And if Ms. JW never has days like that, which looks entirely possible, what does she recommend us mere mortals tell our lazy selves. Thank you Miz!

  3. I’m cracking up about the shorter shorts.
    She wears those long ones on her new show, too!!

    My question? THE ABS.

    What is her secret?!

  5. I would flip all to heck and back if Jackie could give me advice on how to work around the rebuilt knee & tibia. My doctors have told me running would be bad … jumping, lunges and squats all hurt like hell … and forget trying to do any floor work that requires pressure on my knee. Owie wow wow. I know there have to be modifications I could do but I’ll be danged if I’m bright enough to figure out what they would be!

  6. I admit I’m biased Miz 🙂 but my question is why does JW not come to Austin & film an episode with YOU.

    The two of you could hit the grocery aisles doing biceps curls with foods you don’t eat 🙂 like Oreos!

    Love ya!

  7. I would love to ask the Warner how to breakthrough a plateau. How do you push your body to get results without getting injured?

    I would love to give these DVDs a go Thanks MizFit!

  8. I think Jackie is in her 40s yes?

    I would love to know how she looks so great at that age 🙂

    I am 22 and don’t look near as good.

  9. I am starting to get bored with my own routines, so it is nice to spice it up! Great giveaway! I would love to ask her how her routine has changed since she was younger.

  10. Okay, we know I’m clueless with these things. Please tell me the longer shorts are not the ones on the dvd cover. Because I don’t know her well enough to see her in shorter shorts than that. Not without dinner and a movie first.

  11. I like the question about her food….does she really eat like that all the time….and does she really like it?!? I am sorry but I always go to the food!

    I love the idea of this workout but have been scared to try it but now maybe I will…Miz your review was wonderful and answered some of my questions about the Warner!

    Thanks for sharing!

  12. I’ve seen a couple of her workouts On Demand, but I’ve been skeered 😐 I mean, those Rock of Abs that she has don’t come from not workin’ hard! I used to watch her show on Bravo, too and saw when she was filming some of her videos. She’s one tough cookie, but not in an obnoxious way. Okay, I guess I’m talking myself into throwing my hat into the giveaway ring 😉

  13. LOL @ your neighbor and I second that.

    She should totally have a “normal person” in her next video (well, you’re not normal but :)) and it should be you.

    My question?

    Why the heck not?

    (no need to enter me)

  15. I could really use these DVDs now! I’d ask Jackie if she ever looks at a client and thinks “this is the one who is going to break me” in terms of exasperation with their attitude (haha, can you tell I’m watching Thintervention?).

  16. Hmm… a question for Jackie Warner. I think the food part is so important, so mine would be “What do you eat?” Either that or “What the one thing you see clients struggle with over and over?”

  17. I just watched Thintervention the other day. I’d like to know her secrets to keeping motivated. What inspired her to get to where she is today, where did she start?

  18. i would probably ask her what motivates her to press on in LIFE when it gets hard – not just in the gym, or eating well, but the hard things in her life. usually if we’re motivated in one area, we have a big motivator in other areas as well. i want to hear her secrets 🙂
    -r

  19. I must, must, MUST win this one! I love me some Jackie Warner! What a real and motivating trainer! I like her style!

    If I were to get to ask her a question it would have to be how to tweak my routine and eating habits to finally get my BF to move! I train and train and keep my eats under control (mostly), but can’t seem to get the BF down. I used to be able to just work out and watch the junk food and it would peel right off. Now, it seems I have to concentrate really hard on a micro level and I’m still getting nowhere!

    Jackie – Help!

  20. How do you get past the point of “I don’t know how long I can keep this up?” I’m living a lifestyle change but sometimes my mind just floats back to the “old me” and how I used to eat and lounge around and it sounds like a good idea.

  21. Thanks for the review – can’t wait to see your interview post with her!!

    I would ask her what role nutrition plays in her exercise program, and what her exercise regime *really* looks like. It’s one thing to make a DVD for regular people, but that doesn’t necessarily mean it’s what HER workout is. So I’d be curious to know what activity she does each day. And what she eats on a regular basis to fuel that body!

  22. Woo hoo!!

    Love your vid and the review.

    This isn’t fitness related but I wondered if she ever wants/wanted to have children?

  26. Okay, so I haven’t watch the show..but its on my list..But if MIZ says…I believe her… I have been wishing and hoping for a personal trainer that would appear at my door..maybe, just maybe this will be it?

    My question is WHEN will it be the MIZ jackie DVD?

  27. I’ve been looking for a DVD like this – one that could easily be used to do short strength training sessions each day. A question…I’d be curious to know if Jackie thinks that doing a 15 minute strength training session each (most) day(s) is enough? If you are doing a really tough full body session, would once a week be enough? Twice?

  28. I can’t squat very low. How can I increase hip and hamstring flexibility? What is ‘the truth’ about stretching?

  29. You don’t need to enter me mostly because I’m afraid of her kicking my ass.

    That being said, if I had a question for JW I would want to know what she uses as motivation. Obviously a lot of expectations are put on her to be super fit all the time, but I can’t imagine that’s what drives her.

  30. What an awesome giveaway!!
    I just love Jackie and her approach with clients.
    I would love to know if she has a mentor and what the best advice is that she’s been given.

  31. I love Jackie Warner! I met her a few months ago at a book signing and got a picture with her! Can’t wait to read about your phone interview! That DVD sounds good but I know myself well enough to know that unless I am at the gym or running outside, I’m not working out!

  32. I found the most interesting part about Jackie is that she claims that she hates doing ab work, and rarely does.
    She said in an episode that she uses her abs so much to support her in all the other training and lifting she does that they build strength on their own. Guess abs CAN be built in the kitchen too!

    I’d ask her a little more about this whole idea. Which other exercises she does that tighten her abs so much that they ripple without actually crunching them.

  33. WOW I have the biggest girl crush on Jackie! What a fabulous giveaway. And can I just say I’m so jealous that you’ve talked to her! And to the girl that met her at her book signing!

    My question would be: Where do you find balance between your fitness goals and just living? To elaborate: I’m at the point where I’ve lost the majority of the weight but now I want to get lean and cut. But everywhere I look I have to count calories and restrict. I eat extremely healthy so I feel like calorie counting becomes so restrictive. I give up after a week. So how do you find that balance between enjoying meals and living life with working hard to have/maintain the body and fitness level such as yours?

  34. I saw your tweet yesterday Miz where you said abs were made in the kitchen and you thought food consumption was 70 % of it.

    I wonder if Jacike thinks the same?

    Is that how she gets hers or are they genetics?

  35. Great giveaway!!! My Q:”What would you recommend for a person with a disability such a RA who wants to be as active as they can even though they deal with a lot of pain?”

  37. I’d probably ask just how she pushes through those last moments when you think you can’t give anymore. What’s the magic phrase that makes your mind push past what your body thinks it can’t do?

  38. I honestly had never heard of her until her recent show aired. I watched the first episode. My question – “Does anyone else comment that she looks like Scarlett Johansson?”

  39. New reader here from Twitter.

    I saw someone tweet about your badass arms and had to check out your video.

    Wow.

    My question is for you and Jackie:

    Who trains the trainers?

    Who do you use?

  40. This is not a cheer-ocracy, I am the cheer-tator, I will make the cheer-isions around here, and I will deal with the cheer-onsequences.

  41. I really did laugh out loud when you said about the shorts being shorter and I scrolled down and saw the silver…are those shorts? Is there a proper term for them in workout wear land?

    Question for JW? Lunges are so good for you I always see them recommended but my knee isn’t strong enough to support my weight to do lunges, is there a good alternative?

  42. I <3 <3 Jackie! Her new show is fabulous. I love that she focuses on both exercise and food. My favorite part of the show is when she had them drag around the "extra weight" they carry on a daily basis. Fantastic.

  43. I’d love to win those DVDs! I’d also love to know whether JW had an “aha” moment when it comes to her fitness – and is it ongoing? Where does she find (and renew!) her passion?

  44. Oh to be Jackie for just a day!

    I would ask her if she felt there were any exercises to stay away from, that she is not a fan of??

  45. I’m a nutritionist and a person who (fairly) recently lost almost 100 pounds. I’d love to ask Jackie if she feels that her plan is realistic, meaning, something that people can stick with for life. The plan I used and now teach is just that, we don’t ask people to cut anything (like sugar) out of their diet where I know Jackie does. Obviously, my body does not look like hers and never will but I know that I eat healthy the majority of the time and I feel great but I also follow a nutrition program that I can live with for the rest of my life.

    Thanks for the chance to win Miz Fit! Love your blog.

  47. One question… I have been struggling with my weight since I was little. I start diets, end diets start exercise plans end exercise plans, I don’t want to be thin for anyone else but me, but it seems that I just can’t get myself to stick to anything, it is almost like I am just to tired and get defeated to quickly (as 5 mins into a routine I am exhausted) I weigh 240 and am about 5’5′ tall so about 75-100 pounds overweight, I am serious about losing weight but where do I start? Do I just calorie crash and stop eating? Do I gradually let my calories down?

  48. Jackie, in personal training, what kind of tactics do you use to help motivate your clients beyond the gym?
    @nweite

    • yes…when I get it together.

      uh, week after next?

      Friday?

      who can say 🙂

      I need to write “my story” to go along with my pictures…

  50. I love Jackie!! Thanks for the review, I’ve been eying the DVD for a while.

    I would like to ask Jackie how she stays on track with nutrition and workouts while on vacation or away from the “normal” routine.

  51. Hm, just one question for Jackie…

    What’s the most egregious fitness mistake (or myth) you have commonly seen (or heard)?

  52. I have the same question about whether or not Jackie has ever been overweight and if not how can she relate to those of us who struggle with obesity?

    I guess if given the opportunity I would ask the same of you, MizFit.

  53. I’ve been looking for a new workout DVD and it’s good to hear a recommendation for this one from someone I trust.

    I would ask Jackie about a good alternative to lunges that still will halp strengthen my legs and core – my knee just won’t let me do them anymore and I’m look for knee friendly (or even strengthening) alternatives for the legs and core…I’d trust her advice as from thelook of her abs she obviously has the core thing down 🙂

  54. My wife loves Jackie Warner, watches her show and all.

    My question on her behalf; Jackie you obviusly have an extreme sense of commitment, when faced with a client whose commitment level is not where it needs to be, what is the ace up your sleeve you use to get that client fired up and back on track?

  55. I’m a big Jackie fan too!
    If I could question Jackie, I’d ask her for tips on how to make strength training more FUN for someone who just likes cardio way more and is easily bored by lifting weights.
    But I’m sure you’ve got plenty of tips, too, MizFit. Love your podcast, love your site, and love your positive energy — thanks for being you!

  56. I would ask her if she is vegan, vegetarian, organic – what would she classify herself. And, does she eat chocolate cake if she really wants it or does she obstain from sugar at all costs? (I have watched every episode of Workout and Thintervention and I know she abhors sugar).

  57. My question for Jackie:

    Is there such a thing as a cardiovascular “plateau”? I’ve been working out since I was 17 (I’m 21 now) and no matter what I do, there are some workouts that shoot my heart rate to the sky – such as running – and they become unbearable. I HAVE to run at a snail’s pace to be able to keep it up, even after a couple years of interval training I’ve seen no increase in lung capacity or speed.

  59. I would love to know if Jackie works out 7 days a week?

    Also if she has watched your video above?

    Too funny.

  60. I just recently heard about her DVDs from my sister-in-law and she loves them! I’d like to know how often and for how long she recommends exercise per week if you’re just looking to maintain your weight, but increase muscle mass (for toning and bone strength), and what’s the best exercises for core strength?!

  61. Ooh- I was just looking for a workout DVD to get! My question would be similar to one above:
    what exercises would she recommend for someone with chronic joint pain (as caused by Fibromyalgia or RA, not injury, if that matters)

  63. I have never seen a Jackie Warner video and don’t much about her except that she looks amazing. My questions would be “When is Mizfit going to be in one of your videos?” That would get me to buy one for sure!!

  64. I’ve gotta admit, I have her 1st 2 DVDs and her book and have pre-ordered her 3rd. I haven’t done the 1st two. I know. Shame Shame Shame on me. I did read the book from cover to cover. I was hoping she’d hop from in between the covers and make me do push-ups! But I do love her HIT at the end of the book – whew!

    I would ask JW why she’s a proponent of HGH and why did the show chose whiny, rich folks vs. us po-folks who need a kick in the pants. Actually, that’s just my rant on the new show.

  65. Oh, I want this! My question would be should you workout, even when you are really sore from your last workout? and if so, how to you find the brain-strength to push through the soreness?

  66. Once you have reached one goal, how do you not sit on your laurels and get yourself geared up to reach another?

  67. What is one activity that you enjoy that doesn’t feel like exercise? I.e. what kinds of exercises are fun for you, even though they torch the calories and bring peace to the mind? For me, it’s hiking 🙂

  68. I haven’t had a chance to check out Jackie’s videos yet, but her shows have been great. Anyone that’s a friend of fitness is a friend of mine. You’ve gotta love Jackie’s enthusiasm and dedication… even if you don’t love the shorts.

  69. I think Jackie’s approach and attitude are right on! She puts things plain and simple, but no bs about it! Love it! I hate to hear people complain, just do it!!!!! The workouts are there to make you work and sweat and they push me to the point of feeling my muscles burn an shake! When I get done, I really feel good about my workout and about myself. I think that those are key points in keeping motivated and ensuring success!

    Question: I am a type 1 diabetic (insulin dependent) 5’5″ about 119lbs, but I need to tone…I want to get ripped! However, I love sweets….like chocolate and peanut butter. What suggestions do you have for preventing or helping that type of craving? I think that I would see better results on my body if my intake of sweets was under control. I plan on becoming pregnant again here in a few months and want an amazing body going in and during those long 9 months. I also want to bounce back and rip this body like it should be!!!!! Please help!!!!!!!!!!

  70. Another question pick what you would like. To get maximum results, is it best to do dvd workouts everyday, 3-5 days a week, incorporate additional cardio….?????

  74. If you think the DVD is hard, I’m all about it. I read her book, loved it, saw part of Thintervention, loved it.

    I’d ask Jackie to marry me. OK, no I wouldn’t. I’d ask her where she gets all her awesomely flattering workout clothing.

  75. Ooh, I would LOVE to try these workouts! One questions…if I only have 10 minutes per day to get in some strength training, what are the exercises that will most benefit my body/strength/health?

  76. I think Jackie charges too much an hour, but she has the clientele. I think she is dedicated as she showed up at a boot camp one of her trainers was giving. My question is, whose idea was it, Jillian or hers, for opening the gym? It would be great to see someone like her help those less fortunate and have a program to help them, not just the extremely rich.

  77. Love the 5 workouts in one DVD.
    Don’t want to be entered to win.

    I restarted strength training after 5 months due to a house guest. I have many DVDs, but I picked Jackie’s to restart. Oh..how I love DOMS. I got serious DOMS even wihtout using heavy weights. I skip the “abs” as I really have to strengthen it first with more basic exercises.

    As far as the question, thinervention, not sure what it means.
    Just wanted to drop by to say hi to you Carla. Life is busy busy.

  78. I’d like to know the optimal balance between weight training and cardio. How many times a week should I do each? Should I do a combo?

  79. I’d love to try the videos. I love Thintervention..and I need one. I’d ask what a reasonably healthy 51 year old can really do to get in shape. Really. I have been under a lot of stress(excuses) But I feel young. I have a lot of energy and do a lot to support my daughter and my mother. I have really forgotten to put the mask on. Big time. I think between Mizfit and la Warner I might properly motivate.

  80. Why not wear short shorts?

    LOL

    How do you keep from getting bored with weights without having to constantly learn new exercises to do?

  81. what do you eat on easy workout or rest days compared to harder cardio work days? How many calories do you consume to balance proper fuel with an amazing body?

  83. Oh and I would love to see a MizFit and Jackie video.

    Not to hurt your feelings Miz but it seems as though you are more one of us and a “real person.”

  84. I am a little horrified by the shorts photo on the new video, Miz.

    I hope that you aren’t thinking those are too big?!

    Have a great Thursday.

    It’s time for a MizFit VIDEO SERIES!!!

  85. I am not in the US so not entering but I was wondering if you think the DVD is challenging enough for someone who is already fit and has been weight training for many years? And how her workouts compare to the Jillian Michaels DVDs? Have you or any of you out there used both and able to compare?

    My question for her would be ” What is your personal exercise regime (type, how often, how long)?”.
    Thanks Carla 🙂

  86. Love your blog Carla! So inspirational, both what you say and do. I’ve become a huge fan of your blog.

  88. No disrespect intended, Miz but my question to Jackie would be HAVE YOU EVER READ THIS BLOG?

    I enjoy the entertainment value of Thinspiration yet find I am more in alignment with Miz’ brand of doing a little every day forever (am I getting that correctly?) versus killing ourselves for a few weeks and stopping.

    I more enjoy the posts where you help us, Miz, and not when you tout celebrity wisdom.

    Eve

    • zero disrespect taken (and its freedom of speech up in herre anyway ;)).

      And point taken.

      Well taken.

      Thank you.

  90. I’m so excited about this! Everyone I know is raving about Jackie’s book, so I downloaded it for my Kindle last night! I can’t wait to read it! I love to pick up books that will give me a lifetime of reference material that I can go back to whenever I need a refresher or to give someone else info!

    Now, I’m ready for my DVDs!

    No, really. Send them NOW!

    Either way, I’m getting some JW workouts at some point. Added to health and fitness wish list . . .

  91. Miz, I’ve not really done much in the way of exercise DVD’s, but then again, until a year and a half ago, I didn’t do much in the way of exercise at all!!! So maybe it’s time to turn another leaf for me? Huh?

    P.S. Big shout out to you and Two Fit Chicks on my blog post today. I am enjoying your podcasts so much!

  92. This may be a duplicate comment. If so, sorry. 🙂 Don’t know if the first one got send.

    Anyway, I’ve never been big on exercise DVD’s, but until about a year and a half ago, I wasn’t big on exercise!!!! Time for me to turn another leaf? Possibly.

    Miz, big shout out to you and Two Fit Chicks on my blog post today. Love your podcasts! Plan on working my way back and listening to each one. 🙂

  94. I would love to know what tips Jackie has for quick meals and snacks, as I devote very little time to cooking and being in the kitchen.

  95. I have been looking for an alternative to get me through this winter in the northwest. I think this could really kick my butt from and keep me out of the rain. Thanks for the review it is great to hear what you think there are so many crappy DVDs out there.

  96. Heck, you know I love those workouts that Jackie gives out! Hard core stuff!!! How exciting that you got to talk to her!!!!

    OK, I would have a million questions but since I am in Orange County not too far from her, I would ask if she needs a 53 year old (in November) lady that is fit & tough in one of her videos!!! 🙂 Hey, I know, a shameless plug!!!

  97. Wow…she’s amazing! My question would be how does she manage to keep it all together seemingly all the time? Does she ever have days where lack of motivation gets in the way, ie: I just want to eat a big greasy something and veg on the couch?

  99. Nice review Miz. With a four year old and 9 month old of my own, I appreciate the Tornado’s take on the videos too!

    My question for Jackie would be where to start with a strength training program at home? I’m all over cardio, but am really at square one (read: clueless) with respect to starting a strength training routine. Thanks!

  100. Love me some JW – she really rocks! My question is how do you combat c-section traumatized abs (I’ve always had a little spare tire, but now it’s more like a monster truck tire)? Which is why I NEED to win these DVDs!

  101. Wow – What a fantastic giveaway. And double WOW – a question answered by Jackie Warner. My question is, how do you motivate someone to get active? Especially when the person needs to do some activity for their health, and the doctor’s recommendation to get some exercise just seems to fall on deaf ears. The person says they feel fine and don’t see the need to change their lifestyle. Very frustrating since fitness is a big part of my life. I hope I win because I’d appreciate the advice. Thanks for this great giveaway!

  102. No need to enter me Mizzy.

    I’m waiting for your dvd to be released 😉
    The all grocery store workout.

  103. I want to know what her absolute, positive favorite exercise is.

    And I echo the requests for a Jackie & MizFit Grocery Store Workout!!

  104. LOL at the tide turning on Jackie.

    You have a rabid following Miz.

    I would love to win because I have no time to get to the gym and could REALLY use these.

    Which also places me in the Miz & Jackie workout on the go DVD requesting camp 😉

    Ha ve a great weekend.

  105. I just got her new book last week and my husband and I have been following the plan for 5 days now. Looking forward to a cheat meal tomorrow! My husband is down 5 pounds (has 50 to lose) and I am down 4 (have 10-15 to lose). I would love these workouts since I do a lot of workouts at home!

    My question is for my husband…If he follows the guidelines in the book for what to eat each day (4-protein, 3 c vegetables, 1 fat etc.), it is not enough calories for him to get to 1800-2000. Do you have guidelines for what to add in to your diet if you are maintaining or need more calories than the basic plan provides? For example, increase fruit, or add another fat serving or focus on more protein, etc.

    The new show has been great to watch and we are both very motivated and excited by tips in the show and the book!

  107. OMG. Jackie Warner is awesome, you can find her on Exercise on Demand (what? you don’t know about that? Find it on digital cable! It rocks! Maybe channel 1021 is the southeast? Free. Exercise. On Demand.)
    Anyway, I didn’t know she was releasing a video, but I would love it. My question, how much do you work out per day for that awesome body?

  108. My question would be frequency of ab work. Every day or every other day. Any other muscle group seems to require a day of rest, yet some prescribe ab work every day.

  110. I want to know what her thoughts are on working out while sick. Sometimes I get these colds that last 2 weeks no matter how much rest I get – I’ve ended up just working out through them but is this doing more damage?

  111. I loved Jackie’s 1st show and am enjoying Thintervention. My question to Jackie is how do you start over? I joined a gym 2 years ago had a trainer who motivated the heck outta me just loved loved loved him, went 4 -5 times a week whether I was working out with him or not. Changed my diet and lost 20 lbs. Then my husband took a 30% cut in pay so the trainer was out and claen eating and supplements are VERY expensive so they are gone too. I’ve tried on my own for about a year now but I find myself not goin to the gym ( my trainer was the only person I ever talked to there) and been eating crap for the past month. How do I start over?

  113. I am interested in gaining muscle weight. How do I really need to change my eating habits to support this?

  115. Miz, tried the pumpkin protein pancakes this morning and used the chocolate protein powder instead, chocolate pumpkin protein pancakes.

    My review, definitely have potential. Hubby even loved the flavor. It’s the consistency that was the problem. They cooked up like pancakes and looked like pancakes on the outside, but the inside was still wet. Going to try adding just a tiny bit of flour to them, maybe a tablespoon or so to see if that helps. Any pointers? Maybe it was a little more than half the can of pumpkin? Or maybe add a bit more Fiber One?

    Anyway, going to give it another go later in the week, because like I said, the flavor is good. Now let’s see if the “protein” part of it helps me. 🙂

  116. I love that Jackie Warner and her tough love!

    I think I’d ask her two things…I’d want her best piece of advice to stay motivated – getting up and out and to the gym/working out in the morning…when your body and mind are saying ‘no no no’

    annnnnd

    I would ask her how the heck she stays away from sugar! I’ve been trying to get that white sugar monkey off my back for years now, and I always break down! What on earth is the secret for kicking that habit for good?

    Ok, that’s what I’ve got, I’m so ready for Jackie Warner to WORK ME OUT!

  117. Enter me!

    I would ask JW when she is going to cut her hair off and put on some short shorts!!!

    I might also ask her for a magic pill to increase muscle in my upper chest… Off to do some more push-ups.

  118. I just started watching Thintervention and love it! I love that it’s more real than some of those “other” reality weight loss shows and she’s not screaming or beating clients.

    My question would have to be, how do you deal with clients that are losing momentum and motivation? When a plateau is hit, how do you work to overcome it?

  119. I’d love to have Jackie’s opinion on this because I never hear anyone address it…working out regularly/intensely (particularly cardio) really increases my appetite. Eating a reduced calorie diet and maintaining that kind of rigorous exercise has proved difficult, so what ends up happening with me is I end up exercising more AND eating a little more – thus GAINING weight when I really amp up my workouts. I’m a woman – I’m trying to get lean and skinnier, not bulky like a man. I have a hard time striking the balance between getting enough cardio to stay fit and burn calories, but not so much cardio that I’m ravenous all the time. Help!!
