Get Your Body Back: Jackie Warner Talks Burning Fat (and Cheat Days!) With FitOrbit

The transition from April to May always strikes me as one of the most horrid times of the year - it's not quite beach season, so technically, I still have some time to tone up those areas (read: hips, thighs, glutes) that spent the winter comfortably covered in layers of wool and fat - but my goal is so far out of reach that I'll probably lose motivation and just sleep in every weekend from now until June. Enter Jackie Warner. 

It's been just short of four years since we saw the blonde celebrity fitness guru and two-time New York Times best selling author in her own reality television show, Work Out, and seemingly longer since we actually toyed with the idea of getting a personal trainer. Lucky for us, Jackie's new endeavor, FitOrbit, provides affordable, no-nonsense personal training and nutrition advice online for a flat rate of - get ready - $40. I KNOW. Not only does that buy you unlimited one-on-one attention from an A-list trainer and a personalized meal plan, but you can do it on your time, right from the comfort of your own home. I caught up with Jackie to talk about FitOrbit, cheat days, and life after reality TV. Just for the record, her tough love, no-frills attitude is just as endearing as it was on TV.

How exactly does FitOrbit work?
It's a little different than an online training site. First, you get paired with a live trainer that helps you get through your daily workout and adjusts your food intake - it focuses so much on food, which I've always said is the key to weight management and just feeling good overall! On the site, you can type in your zip code and find alternatives for things like fast food restaurants, or get the calorie count and the sugar content of your favorite foods and find alternatives. I also love that whatever program your interested in, whether it be dance or pilates, you can type that in and find out what your workout is for the day. I could have worked with anyone but I love how simple and inspiring FitOrbit is. It's everywhere in the United States and parts of Europe, because it's online, you can get access anywhere.
