Who are you? And how can you help me look good naked?

I’m Jodi Jones, and I used to be the epitome of everything that’s wrong with the fitness industry today. I was going through endless workouts that bored me to tears, because I believed a certain amount of cardio and a certain amount of weight training would get me where I wanted to be. I ate the same 5 foods day in and day out (baked chicken breast, anyone?). I did this for a long time.

I wasn’t getting me back to where I wanted to be.

Trust me, it wasn’t for lack of trying. My temperament to this day is aggressive. I work hard until I get what I want. I push every limit. I’m a definite type A. I’m just a tad intense.

And unchecked, I’m my own worst enemy.

The way the training industry goes, it’s easy to blow out your metabolism. You look strong, but you’re really unhealthy. I screwed up my metabolism so badly I wound up gaining a ton of weight. I was deeply unhealthy and I didn’t know how to fix it. It took me a long, long time – and a lot of education – to find my way back.

I did it, though. I learned what works and what doesn’t. I started to take a more thorough approach to my training. I started to consider what it really needed to perform at its best.
