No goodbye at the Biggest Loser ranch is ever easy, and seeing Coach Mo walk out those doors was one of the harder moments this season. He could have been anyone’s grandpa, and his consistently positive, encouraging attitude made him all the more adored. At 55, Mo was the oldest player to compete this season, but he never let age become an issue. He competed right alongside 20-year-olds, and offered a face of sportsmanship.
Listen now as Mo discusses what it was like to be Tracey’s teammate, and what it’s like to finally be leading by example. Then continue reading to learn more about Mo’s journey on and off the ranch.
Fit or unfit, heavy or thin, healthy or unhealthy – there are few people who wouldn’t give even an hour to train in a gym alongside Biggest Loser’s Jillian Michaels. The show’s executive producer, Mark Koops, has called her one of the best trainers in the world, and her fellow trainer, Bob Harper, has agreed.
She’s got a no-nonsense, hard-hitting, sometimes bordering on harsh approach that simply put, works. Jillian Michaels is not messing around when it comes to weight loss, just ask the contestants she’s trained.
However, she’s not in the business of helping “the priviliged few” get their size twos into a size zero. She wants to make sure the “regular people” of America can regain control of the health we’ve so desperately let go by the way-side.
In a Facebook post to her friends and fans, Jillian Michaels clarified recent rumors that she’s training the likes of Nicole Kidman and Tara Reid.
One of the most often heard questions surrounding the remarkable weight loss stories of the Biggest Loser contestants is, “Did they keep it off?”. There’s no doubt that weight management can be even more trying than the weight loss itself, but when you’ve come as far as these individuals, looking back isn’t typically an option.
In a rare look at the growing alumni of Biggest Loser, to answer that very question, NBC will be airing a two-hour special the day before Thanksgiving. “The Biggest Loser: Where Are They Now?” will air Wednesday, November 25 at 8:00 p.m. EST and showcase more than 40 contestants who’ve weighed in on America’s most famous scale to see how their lives have changed and how they’re doing today. Some contestants will even receive surprise visits by the trainers who made it happen, Jillian Michaels and Bob Harper.
Stuck in traffic? Waiting for the doctor? Conference call will never end? Then it’s the perfect time to do some bicep curls. Well, it is if you have an iPhone. The new REPS iPhone app lets you use the phone as a virtual free weight to burn calories and tone muscle.
