“Every week, I am hysterical. It’s horrible,” Jillian Michaels announced. It’s a different kind of anxiety for this host, when she has to face families all over the country in the hopes of teaching them a healthy lifestyle.
Losing It with Jillian premieres on NBC this June 1 at 10pm, but while it hasn’t started, the waterworks have. “I don’t think that I have cried so much in my entire life,” the star added.
It’s simply because she really tries to connect with the families she deals with on the show. She hands out fitness advice, from eating habits to exercise routines, and tries to change lives. It’s a difficult job to undertake, making it look as though she’s losing it along with these people.
“I become very empathic with the families, I think, so I can understand them and get in their heads and try to help them implement solutions that work for them,” Jillian Michaels went on.
That means, the trainer is with the clients practically 24/7. She observes their lifestyle and makes her adjustments accordingly through whatever means and resources that are available.
“Life is an ongoing journey, so we’re coming back to see if they’ve utilized these tools and rebooted their lives,” the Losing It with Jillian star said. Even so, it’s her life that’s changed because of it all as well.
On Losing It with Jillian, fear isn’t exactly what this lady will use to motivate these families. There won’t be as much yelling and forcing people to do what she wants at all.
“Me being in a very different environment automatically makes me kind of vulnerable in a totally different way — being around kids and being a fish out of water,” she explained. “It’s definitely going to present a different side.”
