Yeah, Except Jessie Ventura (Jim Janos) graduated BUD/S in the Navy and went to Vietnam as a warrior.

I don't think Michaels is that bad...she may not use the best form on some exercises, but she's a pretty effective motivator.

Plus, she looks nice in workout clothing...

Then again, I completely ripped a distal bicep tendon off the bone doing a tire flip with improper form, so I may not be the best person to ask...

One member of our family watches this show, so I have occasion to see occasional snippets. I can’t believe they don’t get more injuries and heart attacks the way they have these people “working out.”

I’ve never worked out with kettle bells. I have some lower back issues and from what I see of the exercise, it’s not for me. Which leads me to question whether it’s really a good exercise at all, as I could see lower back issues from prolonged use. Also, poor technique could be really make it worse. But I have equipment at home and a good routine, so I’m content.

I’m not going to comment on Ms. Michaels competency as a fitness trainer or anything else about her.
