Can Tennis Star Anna Kournikova Survive as the Next "The Biggest Loser' Fitness Trainer?

Tennis star Anna Kournikova is confirmed to join NBC hit show "The Biggest Loser" next season as the fitness trainer. She will replace Jillian Michaels next season.

Ann is well-known for her hot bod and her skills on the court. But I don't know, honestly, if she's qualified as a fitness trainer, not to mention to train the big contestants and to please the TV audience.

The two new trainers on "The Biggest Loser" Cara Castronuova and Brett Hoebell joining the show this season didn't receive much praise.

Well, Let's wait and see in the next season.

Love Her or Hate Her? The Biggest Loser Strength Trainer and Life Coach Jillian Michaels Offers Inspiration and Strategy in Her New Book "Unlimited: How to Build An Exception Life"

With eight million viewers in each NBC hit show The Biggest Loser, the America's toughest strength trainer Jillian Michaels has catapulted from a California personal trainer to a household name.

Love her or hate her? Maybe both. It's a tough-love.

Her no-BS, no-excuse, take-no-prisoner approach to weight loss and fitness training is exactly what I'm embracing.

More than just losing weight and getting fit, Jillian just released her new book "Unlimited: How to Build an Exceptional Life" that is aimed to help many people to transform their life and build an exceptional life that lasts.

Losing weight involves both inner working and outer workout. Two-thirds of Americans are either overweight or obese. It's a $100-Billion-a-Year weight-loss industry. So many people make their New Year's resolutions to start exercising and eating healthy. Half of them give up by summer. Then they go on diet. The vicious dieting cycle goes around again until holidays.

People must make decisions and really commit to themselves to making the changes. They  have to address to root causes of overweight, not just to patch up the symptoms.

It's about the relationship with YOU. It's about removing the inner roadblocks that prevent you from achieving what you want. In the end, it's about becoming the person you say you want to be.

'Unlimited" helps you understand and use your power to make positive choices that leads to making your dreams become a reality in every aspect of your life.

"Unlimited" offers inspiration and strategies to help the readers build an exception life. It's a must-read for anyone who needs a dose of inspiration, motivation, a roadmap and a complete how-to plan.

Imagine. Believe. Achieve.
