“Who is Jessie Pavelka?” I hear you ask. Well, let me
tell you. He is not just a pretty face (a VERY pretty face at that). You know, he
looks alright. And by alright, I mean incredibly handsome in a "buffed up
Prince Charming" kind of way.
I met him for the first time last week and, I will admit,
I was slightly irritated. Jessie was intensely jet-lagged, rushed to get ready
and looked nothing other than perfect. I had had a good night's sleep, had an
entire morning to get ready and still looked like a short-ass gremlin. I mean, that’s
really not fair. Fortunately, I'm never in demand for photoshoots so I guess we
can let him off.
Secondly, the guy is like a walking, talking fitness encyclopedia.
He knows his stuff. His passion and enthusiasm makes you want to immediately do
a series of push-ups, squats and burpees yelling "LOOK JESSIE, I'M FIT
TOO!" (I'm not. If I had attempted any kind of push-up I can guarantee
that I would have looked like I was trying to hug the floor. But that is beside
the point.).
Jessie is internationally recognised
as a Fitness and Wellbeing Expert and Specialist in Extreme Weight Loss (fancy,
huh?). He has already graced British and American television screens with his
life-changing work on SKY’s Obese: A Year
to Save my Life, and Lifetime’s DietTribe, and
motivated the masses on Oprah’s OWN Wake-up Workout, The
View, and The Doctors . In July 2013, he will be returning
to SKY presenting the equally inspirational FAT: The Fight of My Life. I repeat, on JULY 15th he will
be presenting FAT: THE FIGHT OF MY LIFE at 8PM on SKYLIVING and it is AWESOME
(my job here is done…).
For the past 10 years Jessie has been dedicated to
helping others to develop practical solutions to lose weight, live well and
thrive through exercise and nutrition. Jessie learned much of what he knows
about the fitness industry during his time as a professional bodybuilder and
fitness model. Yes, I said bodybuilder and model. Stop drooling.
On top of this Jessie has starred in a number of
popular TV shows such as “Friday Night Lights” and “Rita Rocks”. As if doing a ridiculous
amount of exercise, encouraging other people to exercise and generally looking
handsome and well-exercised in countless magazines wasn’t enough - he acts. No
big deal.
On a more serious note (but please keep reading), his
friendly but firm attitude towards participants on Obese: A Year to Save my
Life and FAT: The Fight of My Life is both
motivational and makes for compulsive viewing (which is why you should WATCH
IT).
Jessie is also a patron of UK charity HOOP (Helping
Overcome Obesity Problems) which aims to help to be the voice of the obese
person and to assist them in finding healthy solutions. Yep, the guy’s also
caring and incredibly generous. Bored now.
Dividing his time between the US, UK and Canada,
Jessie Pavelka is certainly rising as an internationally recognised star and
symbol within the Fitness, Wellbeing and Extreme Weight Loss industries. As
well as being internationally recognised eye candy.
