Season 12 of The Biggest Loser hasn't even aired its first episode and already I've got a crick in my neck from shaking my head. Now that Jillian Michaels has left the show, again, the producers must have felt the need to keep the male chip-eating-sofa-slouches' viewership. And what better way than sex. Which is why having Anna Kournikova as a trainer makes sense. Not because she's a qualified fitness professional. Not due to her advanced certifications and years of experience helping obese people shed inches and pounds of fat (let's not forget she was on the show before and made the contestants sweat on the tennis court.) Nope, those are secondary. What is important is that she looks good. And she's fit, being a former athlete and all. Well she appears fit anyways. And since she has all that experience in sports she obviously can train people. That goes without saying.
So in keeping with their reputation as a show that is more concerned with getting people to watch to boost ratings to boost ad slots to boost profits over giving those in need some sound, realistic advice on losing fat The Biggest Loser remains champ as the worst misguided thing to happen to exercise and fat loss in the 21st century. Congratulations!!
Click here to watch Anna's interview about joining the Biggest Loser. She goes into great detail about her fitness qualifications and professional training experience.

I guess my sarcasm didn't show up as obvious as I intended.
It takes a lot more than just experience in sports or exercise in general to be fully qualified to train others, especially people who are morbidly obese and could quickly experience a heart attack during physical exertion.
Hopefully I'm clear that I do not think Anna K. is qualified to train the contestants based on the fact that her credentials are a professional tennis player. Even if she does have the education and training to do so, which she didn't mention during the interview, her experience training others is a major factor.
Thanks for visiting and leaving a comment. I'll possibly follow the series this season and make weekly posts as I did in the past. So hopefully you'll come back and join in the conversation.
You know you watch the show, and love it! Just cause she is taller you, doesn't mean you have to pick on her! haha!
Hope all is well amigo!
You will need to come check out our new facility in Carlsbad once we expand.

Good to hear from you again.
Actually I only caught the first episode of the season. It's just not the same without Ms. Michaels
Keep me posted on the new place and I'll definitely come check it out when you're there.
