Jillian Michaels<\/strong><\/a> has been helping people achieve their fitness goals for over 30 years \u2014 and she\u2019s spilling her secrets for success with Us Weekly<\/em>.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe bottom line is, you really kind of need all [different types of workouts] and you want to try to incorporate [them] all,\u201d Michaels, 49, told Us<\/em> exclusively while promoting her line of iTOUCH Wearables<\/a>. \u201cThe most important thing [is] it doesn\u2019t have to be perfect.\u201d<\/p>\n

After becoming certified as a personal trainer and opening her Beverly Hills sports medicine facility in 2002, Michaels rose to fame as a trainer on the reality series The Biggest Loser<\/em>. Throughout her decades working in the wellness industry, Michaels has become a firm believer that there\u2019s no such thing as the \u201cbest\u201d type of workout.<\/p>\n

\u201cWhen it comes to different types of training, whether it\u2019s strength training, cardiovascular conditioning, HIIT training, they\u2019re all important,\u201d she told Us<\/em>. \u201cIt\u2019s kind of like saying, \u2018What\u2019s more important, Vitamin C or Vitamin D?\u2019 So, you don\u2019t need to be overwhelmed.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\t\t\tFriendship and fitness! Celebs are just like\u00a0Us \u2014 they\u2019d rather stay in shape with the help of their friends or significant others. Whether it\u2019s assuming the downward dog position, hitting the pavement or lifting weights, stars enjoy shedding pounds with their famous acquaintances by their side. Reese Witherspoon, for example, goes on hikes with her [\u2026]\t\t<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

Recovery is nearly as important as the exercise itself. \u201cThe reality is that when we\u2019re sore after a workout, what\u2019s going on is we have these micro-tears in the muscle, and that\u2019s a good thing,\u201d Michaels explained. \u201cWhen you\u2019re sore, you really want to drink a lot of water. \u2026 Being hydrated, getting your sleep for recovery, and doing some light cardio activity is going to heal you more quickly.\u201d<\/p>\n

Most importantly, Michaels warned against overtraining muscles. \u201cDon\u2019t go train that same muscle again, because then those little mico-tears can become a little bit bigger, and then you get into over-training,\u201d she said. \u201cRecovery is really important, and that comes with rest.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\t\t\tDrama, drama, drama! Jillian Michaels is not afraid to speak her mind, no matter what the topic, resulting in many feuds with health professionals and celebrities over the years. The former Biggest Loser star has publicly called out Andy Cohen, Lizzo and Teddi Mellencamp for their differing opinions \u2014 and questioned fitness trends and weight [\u2026]\t\t<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

While fasting before a workout might be \u201ctrendy,\u201d Michaels isn\u2019t convinced. \u201cDepending on your fitness goals, the reality is that you should probably eat a little something before you go to the gym,\u201d she told Us<\/em>. \u201cBased on everything I\u2019ve read, and everything I\u2019ve experienced doing this since I was 17 years old, [fasted workouts] are less effective. \u2026 When you have blood sugar available, it gives you more power.\u201d<\/p>\n
