Personal trainer and entrepreneur Jillian Michaels is best known as an original trainer on the NBC reality TV show called The Biggest Loser. Michaels was also featured in The Biggest Loser spin-off series called Losing It with Jillian. Although Michaels last appeared on The Biggest Loser in 2014, she still regularly shares healthy workout and meal ideas with fans.

The 42-year-old shared an omelet recipe recently that featured eggs, spinach, green onion, and hot sauce. She also posted a workout video of a diamond belly button pushup.

How is the ‘Jillian Michaels workout’ done? In plank position your hands are placed in a diamond shape with index fingers and thumbs touching right beneath your belly button.

Next, you lower down until the elbows are bent 90 degrees, and then push back up to your starting position. To modify, you perform this exercise on your knees.

Jillian Michaels has certifications with the National Exercise and Sports Trainers Association (NESTA) and the Aerobics and Fitness Association of America (AFAA). She has the reputation as one of America’s toughest trainers.

A calorie-controlled diet, vigorous exercise, and a person’s relationship with food and body image all factor into the Jillian Michaels workout routine. The following are a few key exercise and diet tips:

– Jillian Michaels diet plan: Eat before your workout to help burn fat. Michaels has a variety of carbohydrates, proteins, and fats in the diet. Breakfast is often a whole-grain Ezekiel english muffin with almond butter. Lunch is veggies and fish. Snacks may include carrots sticks, Brazil nuts, almonds, or an orange. For dinner she eats organic foods and cuts her carbohydrate intake.
– Jillian Michaels workout favorites: Michaels recommends changing exercises from time to time to achieve best results. Exercise also helps boost mood and self-esteem. The personal trainer’s favorite workout includes a dancing crab exercise, a single leg squat with corkscrew curl, the plank mogul position, and a stork stance reverse fly exercise.

On top of her Biggest Lower fame, Jillian Michaels’ reality TV series called Just Jillian premiered in January. Michaels has also authored several books on health and wellness, including New York Times best sellers Unlimited and Master Your Metabolism.
