Christine Theiss Her exercise tips for the cold season
From January 2, 2022, 20 candidates want to reduce their three tons of body weight: The popular weight loss show "The Biggest Loser" returns with 14 new episodes (always on Sundays at 5:30 p.m. on Sat.1 and on Joyn). This time some changes are coming to participants and audience. The biggest of these can be found in the title: In the future, the program will be called Dr. Christine Theiss (41) "Life made easy - The Biggest Loser". In addition to Theiss and Ramin Abtin (49), newcomer and personal trainer Sigrid Ilumaa will also help the candidates to get closer to their desired weight. Prominent guest coaches will also pass on their experiences to the participants.
In an interview with the news agency spot on news, camp boss Christine Theiss reveals how the name change came about and which guest coach she particularly admires. In addition, the ex-kickboxer gives exercise tips for the cold season and in the corona pandemic. She also looks back on her personal year 2021.
What's the deal with the new title "Life made easy" for "The Biggest Loser"?
Christine Theiss: On the one hand, we are reacting to the long-standing criticism of the "Loser". While this was only meant as a play on words, many people found this to be disrespectful towards our candidates and of course that's the last thing we want. In addition, our show is now so much more than just a weight loss format. It's not just about the weight, many of our participants change their lives completely. We want to emphasize that with the new title. Away from the fixation on the mere kilos.
What does newcomer Sigrid Ilumaa bring to the team, what makes her special?
Theiss: Sigrid is amazing and I'm so happy to have her on our team. She is a very warm woman who is good at approaching people and accepts them without prejudice. In addition to her cheerful and motivating nature, she also has good specialist knowledge and a lot of experience in dealing with overweight people.
This time there are prominent guest coaches. How were they selected and what exactly is their job?
Theiss: This year we have various guest coaches who support our participants with a lot of passion and support them in starting a new life. These were Jimmy Hartwig, Alexander Kumptner, Miriam Höller, Angelina Kirsch and Fabian Hambüchen. These are all strong personalities with very different paths in life and areas of focus, who were able to share their very personal experiences, solutions and values with our participants in personal coaching sessions.
Which guest coach do you admire most and why?
Theiss: The question is mean because I don't want to put anyone on the back burner. But I can't hide the fact that Fabian Hambüchen is a big hero for me and that I was even more nervous when we met than our candidates, who didn't even know what to expect or who was waiting for them. Fabian's determination in the years leading up to the 2016 Olympics in Rio and his strong nerves there are absolutely admirable.
Since 2012 you have been part of "Life made easy - The Biggest Loser". What motivates you to be camp boss every year?
Theiss: I love accompanying our participants on their way to a new life. To make the actually impossible possible together with my team. It still fascinates me after all these years how people manage to get rid of their old ballast and start again. Suddenly they create things that nobody, especially not themselves, would have thought they could do. I also wholeheartedly love working with my two coaches, Sigrid Ilumaa and Ramin Abtin, and the team behind the camera.
When would you say goodbye to the format?
Theiss: If I had to give myself away.
The cold season and the corona pandemic make it difficult for many people to exercise. What training do you recommend and what motivational tip do you have?
Theiss: Get out! Jogging or just brisk walking are great. If it's dry, you can also do a 20-minute strength circuit outside. You need your own body weight, maybe a step or something to hold on to, depending on the exercise. Of course, functional training can always be done at home. The only things it takes is the will to start and the discipline to see it through. Unfortunately, that's also the hardest part of the whole thing. So keep fixed times for sports in your calendar so that you don't find out in bed in the evening that you've already forgotten the sport.
What do you think of New Year's resolutions when it comes to exercise and nutrition?
Theiss: Resolutions are only worthwhile if they are implemented. So they mostly bring nothing. If you really want to change something, I think you should start doing it right away, regardless of the date.
How do you personally look back on your year 2021, what were the highlights but also the difficult moments?
Theiss: Personally, I find the division in our society to be very difficult. But I don't hold politics responsible for this, but rather the people who believe that solidarity is an individual decision and who are imprisoning an entire society with their ruthless refusal. Millions of people get vaccinated and take it easy for the good of all. But all these efforts are being scuttled by increasingly aggressive swashbucklers and corona deniers who are trampling on everyone's rights. Above all, however, they destroy the chance of our children, the sick and those (few) people who cannot actually be vaccinated being able to be vaccinated in the near future.
Nevertheless, the year 2021 had many beautiful moments that you might not otherwise have noticed. It doesn't matter whether it's a great trip with the family, a wonderful sunset or an enjoyable evening in a restaurant.
What do you wish for 2022?
Theiss: For the year 2022 I wish for more reason and less hatred.
