About Jillian Michaels
Jillian Michaels is one of the leading health and wellness experts in the country. Perhaps considered one of the most inspiring people on television through her role as trainer, wellness expert, and life coach on her hit TV shows and regular TV appearances, Michaels has created a brand name for herself. Every week she motivates millions in every form of media from TV to publishing to the 1.6 million monthly visitors to her Web site and daily e-mail newsletter.

As a motivator and role model, Jillian has a unique connection with her audience that stems from her own personal journey toward wellness. Before she was a huge TV success, Jillian struggled with her own weight. She was determined to reach her goals, and through dedication and hard work, she did.

Jillian has been a personal trainer for 19 years. In addition, she owned and operated a sports medicine facility, where she worked as a physical therapy aid under the physiatrists, physical therapists, and chiropractors. Jillian's passion for fitness training originates from 17 years of martial arts practice in Muay Thai and Akarui-Do, in which she holds a black belt. Since 1993, Jillian has held two personal training certificates from the leading certification programs in the country: the National Exercise & Sports Trainers Association (NESTA) and the American Fitness Association of America (AFAA). In addition she is Kettlebell Concepts certified. Jillian has also developed a continuing education series for trainers with AFAA and holds a nutrition and wellness consultant certificate with the American Fitness Professionals Associates (AFPA).

Books, DVDs, and video games--Jillian has them all covered. She is a New York Times bestselling author of four books - Master Your Metabolism, The Master Your Metabolism Cookbook, Making the Cut, and her newest release, Unlimited: How to Build an Exceptional Life--and also the author of Winning by Losing, The Master Your Metabolism Calorie Counter and Optimiza tu Metabolismo, the Spanish-translated version of Master Your Metabolism. Her DVDs such as Yoga Meltdown, 0-Day Shred, No More Trouble Zones, Banish Fat Boost Metabolism, 6-Week Six-Pack, Shred it with Weights, and Ripped in 30 are consistently top sellers. In addition, she has three video games for the Nintendo Wii and two iPhone apps, both available from iTunes. Jillian has partnered with K-Swiss to develop this new line of footwear and sportswear, and is continuing her partnership with ICON Health & Fitness on a new line of in-home fitness equipment. In October 2010, Michaels set sail on her first Jillian Michaels Ultimate Wellness Cruise.

Jillian launched her company, Empowered Media, LLC, with the goal of creating total life solutions for people that involve all aspects of living well, including health, wellness, weight loss, and overall lifestyle. By sharing a unique and inspiring philosophy that stresses the integration of fitness, nutrition, and behavioral changes, Jillian empowers people everywhere to define and reach their personal goals, both physical and psychological. Empowered Media allows Jillian to communicate her message of health and wellness to a large audience through different media, including an online community, books, DVDs, gaming and exercise equipment. The company continues to work toward its objectives with a circle of experts who collaborate with Jillian to act as life architects, helping people to restructure their lives. The company's motto is, "Inspired by Jillian, empowered by YOU!"

Jillian lives in Los Angeles, California. When she's not on set for TV, she enjoys traveling and getting involved in charitable activities, which include her work as an ambassador for the American Cancer Society, an ambassador for Stand Up 2 Cancer, an ambassador for NFL Play 60 and her work as a champion of the Alliance for a Healthier Generation, a program dedicated to eradicating the childhood obesity epidemic in the United States.

The Inspiration Behind The Jillian Michaels Collection by K-Swiss
"I designed this collection in keeping with my own desires for hip, comfortable, and cool fitness and lifestyle clothes," said Jillian Michaels. "I wanted a collection that reflected all the moods a woman goes through during the course of a week. The performance line, while functional, allows women to feel feminine thanks to its clean, flattering lines and bright, fun colors. The lifestyle clothes are meant to cross over from the gym to brunch with friends. The look and feel is vintage and fashionable, but still comfortable and cozy. The signature pieces with graphics are part of a campaign to raise money and awareness to fight America's childhood obesity epidemic. Inspired by the (RED) campaign that Bono created to benefit Africa, I wanted the graphics and phrases in this collection to ignite conversation and be a call to action."

"Today, for the first time in history, children have a lower life expectancy than their parents. Over two-thirds of children in the U.S. are obese and one in three have diabetes. The Alliance for a Healthier Generation is an organization dedicated to combating these "statistics" and helping our youth into healthy, bright futures. Having grown up an overweight child, I know the pain it causes both physically and emotionally. As I grow older and face the challenge of raising my own kids, I want to do everything I can to ensure America's children have all the opportunity to become healthy, happy adults."

About Alliance for a Healthier Generation
Alliance for a Healthier Generation addresses one of the nation's leading public health threats--childhood obesity. Founded in 2005 by the American Heart Association and the William J.Clinton Foundation, Alliance for a Healthier Generation works to positively affect the places that make a difference to a child's health--homes, schools, medical offices, and communities.

    CW-X Women's CW-X Xtra Support Bra II

    CW-X Women's CW-X Xtra Support Bra II Review



    CW-X Women's CW-X Xtra Support Bra II Feature

    • Sports bra; engineered for larger cup sizes (up to 38DD)
    • Coolmax/Lycra tricot fabric with Healtha+ mesh front panels for breathability and moisture wicking
    • Back hook-and-clasp closure system
    • Five-point Targeted Support Web for optimal motion control; reinforced with mesh webbing
    • Wide stretch band; stretch mesh internal venting channel under bust
    Engineered for larger cup sizes (up to 38DD), the Xtra Support Bra combines extra motion control from the reinforced five-point Targeted Support System with the convenience of a back hook-and-clasp closure system. The patented five-point Targeted Support Web is reinforced with an extra layer of mesh webbing to provide optimum motion control. Coolmax/Lycra tricot fabric with Healtha+ mesh front panels provide moisture wicking and breathability for added comfort.

    A stretch mesh internal venting channel under the bust provides breathability and moisture evaporation. Other features include a wide stretch band for extra support.

    Fabrics
    The bra's Coolmax/Lycra tricot fabric with Healtha+ mesh front panels provide moisture wicking and breathability.

    About Lycra and Coolmax
    The genius at the heart of CW-X is an obedience to the structure of the body, made possible by two extraordinary fibers: Lycra and Coolmax. Coolmax moves moisture instantaneously from the body out to the fabric's outer surface, where it evaporates at twice the speed of cotton. So with CW-X Conditioning Wear, you remain cool at even the highest temperatures. When less energy goes toward cooling the body, more energy is left to help you excel. Lycra, on the other hand, possesses the unique ability to stretch yet retain its shape.

    About Healtha+
    Healtha+ is a multifunctional, lightweight, quick-dry fabric developed by Ventex. Nanotechnology has been used in the development of Healtha+, which consists of 90 percent polyester and 10 percent spandex yarns. This combination provides a comfortable fit and freedom of movement, as well as quick-dry moisture wicking capabilities.

    The six-channel shape of Healtha+ fibers results in a capillary action pulling the sweat away from the skin's surface to the exterior of the fabric. Healtha+ yarn's wide surface area is also an intrinsic advantage over regular fibers. A wider surface area allows for greater moisture evaporation. This makes Healtha+ one of the fastest-drying textiles available.

    Healtha+ is also antibacterial and odorless through the application of silver dioxide fiber technology, preserving garment freshness. Integrated titanium oxide fiber technology protects against ultraviolet rays, providing UPF 50+.

    About CW-X Gear Technology
    For 40 years, scientists at Wacoal Human Science Research Center in Kyoto, Japan, have studied kinesiology, the science of human movement. They have tested over 35,000 people and analyzed injuries relative to warm-up and cool-down periods. They have come to understand the mechanics of joints and muscles in minute detail. This exhaustive study of body movement has culminated in over 50 patents worldwide.

    Below are some further studies demonstrating the performance-enhancing qualities of CW-X Conditioning Wear.

    Human Science Research Center, Kyoto, Japan: Study of electrical pulse activity in muscles
    Muscles firing into motion were measured electromyographically for subjects wearing CW-X gear, subjects wearing competitor products, and subjects with bare legs. Electrical pulse activity decreased in unsupported and partly supported legs during exercise, indicative of fatigue. Legs supported by CW-X showed a negligible decrease in electrical pulse activity.

    Human Science Research Center, Kyoto, Japan: Study of stability, impact, and motion
    In this study, high-speed video analysis was used to compare stability, impact, and motion in CW-X products and regular compression gear. CW-X Support Web tights were 10 percent more stable and balanced and absorbed 12 percent more shock to the knee than regular compression tights. CW-X Support Web tops allowed 9 percent greater range of motion for the arm than regular compression tops.

    University of Montpelier, France: Study of VO2 oxygen uptake levels
    This study measured VO2 oxygen uptake levels over the course of 15 minutes of running in CW-X gear, regular compression tights, and running shorts. CW-X Support Web tights showed 26 percent less oxygen use than regular compression tights and 36 percent less oxygen use than traditional running shorts, indicating lower energy expenditure.

    About CW-X
    Japan's Wacoal Corporation, the world's largest manufacturer of intimate apparel, has spent half a century creating clothing born of a deep understanding of the body. Combining its scientific knowledge of the human anatomy with its experience in complex fabrications and apparel design, the company first entered the performance sports apparel market in Japan in 1991 with CW-X Performance Conditioning Wear. Recently the company launched the CW-X brand in the U.S. market through the newly formed Wacoal Sports Science Corporation.

    Wacoal Sports Science, headquartered in New York City, is a wholly owned subsidiary of Wacoal International. The company's mission is to meet the sports performance needs of the active U.S. consumer through the CW-X brand, the world's first truly anatomically engineered high-performance sports apparel.

    Find Your Fit:

    • Band: Should be slightly more snug than a lingerie bra. Make sure you can comfortably take a deep breath with the bra fastened on the middle hook. Be sure the band doesn't ride up in the back. If it does, the band may be too loose and/or the straps need to be adjusted.
    • Cups: Adjust your breasts for a proper fit. They should be completely held within the cups without overflowing. Fabric should be smooth. Wrinkles or puckers indicate the cup is too big. Underwire should sit on your ribcage below the breast tissue and follow your natural shape.
    • Straps: Should offer minimal stretch to reduce up-and-down breast movement. Wider straps will disperse the weight and feel more comfortable. Straps should not dig in or slide off your shoulders. Adjustable straps offer a more custom fit.

    About Moving Comfort:
