If you've ever watched "The Biggest Loser" on TV then I'm sure you know who Jillian Michaels is. As the trainer to the "uber-unfit" she pushes, screams and yells them into better shape. I don't have a real problem with that - those people signed up for that kind of abuse so they deserve it. What does piss me off is her having her charges use Kettlebells when she obviously has NO IDEA what the heck she is doing with them!?!?
Don't believe me? Watch the short clip below and tell me what you think:
BTW - Do you think I'm rushing to condemn her based on a short video clip? HELL YES! She shows absolute and utter disregard for basic Kettlebell skills in less than 15 seconds. It doesn't take a whole lot to prove she shouldn't be using or teaching others to use Kettlebells.
NOTE: I noticed in the Washington Post this weekend that either Target or Dick's is selling a Jillian Michaels endorsed adjustable Kettlebell... how's that for adding insult to injury?!?!
She did go back and make numerous public apologies about this clip, so I believe forgiveness is in order.
