“If you act like a victim, you are likely to be treated as one.” –Paulo Coelho At both JillFit and Metabolic Effect, we talk a lot about mindset. And we work with hundreds of clients every single day on how to change their own mindset to be leaner, happier and more successful. But what does …

I hate cooking. If there’s a pan involved, it might be too much work All right, well I don’t go that far, but usually I try to maintain a one-pan maximum and also a 10 minute max on time. However, we all know that the reality is, the more you cook the better you look (shout …

I make it a habit to ask people who sign up for my newsletter what their #1 struggle is with nutrition, exercise, mindset, etc. This is important for me because it gives me insight into what JillFit gals are working to improve and how I can help. The answer I get the most is this: …

[TOUGH LOVE ALERT] “If you own this story you get to write the ending.” ―Brené Brown Last week, I was talking to a friend and I couldn’t help but notice that she kept saying virtually the same thing, about multiple different people. Every statement was a variation of this person was being unfair, or that …

Lately, I have been thinking about the concept of “getting real” with ourselves. This is a tricky concept because for many women, it can be taken to the extreme. When we get real, we can so easily fall into self-loathing and body-disgust. We look in the mirror to get real and as a result, decide …

I realize I blogged about this a few weeks ago. And that’s not by accident. In the last month, I have slept in my own bed a total of 3 nights, ha! I am sure many of you who travel for work can relate. Though it’s been an amazing and fun 30 days, it has …

Last week Jade, Gary and myself took the Metabolic Effect train to the UK, Paris and Spain for a number of Metabolic Effect trainings for fitness professionals. I recounted in a previous post my observations overseas, and how different Europeans both eat and live compared to Americans. I have to say, it’s actually striking–and a …

“There is no one giant step that does it, it’s a lot of little steps.” –Peter A. Cohen Last night, I was catching up with my sister-in-law and JillFit Coach Jillian Teta since we hadn’t seen each other in over a month with travel and crazy schedules. You all know Jillian, and you know that …

This past weekend on the ME Lifestylers‘ community page, a member was lamenting having to travel for work and was worried about how to stay “on plan” while traveling. I love this problem! Why? Because I believe this about healthy eating and exercise: If you can make the right choices while traveling, you can make …

Walking down the path to our 7am breakfast with fellow Lululemon’ed up fitness pros Jen Sinkler and Neghar Fonooni, I turned to them and said, “You know, this trip is an example of something I would normally never do.” It was Day 4 of a 6-day yoga retreat in Sedona, AZ and we were 5 …

Doing ANYTHING you want and doing EVERYTHING you want are two different things. I am a huge advocate of the former. I believe that literally anyone can make anything happen for themselves if they are passionate, tenacious, hungry to learn & grow and aren’t afraid of failure. But I think that believing that we can do …

Part of living a lean lifestyle is learning how to bend your diet without breaking it. Which means meeting yourself where you are and being realistic when you need convenience options, but never going overboard. In an ideal world, we’d all have the time, energy and desire to make all of our food fresh daily …

The most frequent request I’ve received from clients over my 12 years as a trainer is this: Jill, help me get rid of this belly! My stomach! Help me! I get it, and for beginners to living a lean lifestyle, usually it can seem that our waistlines are in the most dire need of attention. …

“If you have more than 3 priorities, then you don’t have any.” –Jim Collins I can’t help but believe that we are just as busy as we make ourselves. I did this for many years, filling my schedule with anything and everything, with no discernment of what was important versus what was a waste of …

Last week, I had what I call a “Middle of the Night” (MOTN) moment. You know those. When something seems so big and stressful in that moment, in the dark and quiet, like it’s the most important thing in the world. You get an adrenaline rush, brain buzzing, stressing-the-hell-out in that moment. Then, you wake …

Ok, I’ll admit it. I used to think bodyweight exercises were a cop-out. I mean … really?? Isn’t that for “beginners” and people who can’t handle “real” weight training? Well, that’s what I thought until my friend (and expert in female fitness) Nia Shanks showed me up with her new Beautiful Badass Bodyweight Workout Guide. …

Here at JillFit, and over on the Metabolic Effect blog, we tend to strictly profess the physiological effects of exercise, most importantly weight training. I doubt I need to convince you of the many benefits of weight training for the body. BUT, if you’ve forgotten, allow me to be annoyingly thorough Quickie Reminder/Physical Benefits of …

“The more you cook, the better you look.” Thank you to my friend and fat loss nutrition expert Dr. Chris Mohr for these words of wisdom. I agree with this statement. Besides, we know that in order to be successful in our fat loss journey, we need to be organized, prepped and ready. When we …
