We’re preparing to host strength trainer and life coach Jillian Michaels as the keynote speaker for Missouri State University’s Public Affairs Conference. Her presentation, which will be held at 7:30 p.m. April 5 in JQH Arena, is sponsored by the Missouri State University Foundation with presenting sponsor Arvest. Michaels is a tremendous fit for this year’s theme, “Building Healthy Communities: Body, Mind and Spirit.”

But who is Jillian? What better way to introduce her than by sharing five of her best moments on YouTube?

Debunking fitness myths

You may have heard some ideas about dieting. Michaels suggests that you think twice before implementing them.

An underrated muscle

It’s the strength of your will that helps you make good food decisions.
