Jessie did a campaign with Propel Water to promote fitness. The campaign was called “Let’s Get Ugly,” and promoted people who looked sweaty and tired after a hard workout. Jessie told the Huffington Post that this was the reason she wanted to take part in this campaign. “The world now is driven by this perfection of fitness. What I loved about this campaign was they promoted the message about getting ugly and getting sweaty. It’s about the work. When I come out of the gym, I’m blotchy red and sweaty, but I feel good. It’s about the longevity of your life, not how you look in the morning.”
2. She’s Motivated By Endorphins

An important part of working out and being healthy is staying consistent. One of the ways to be consistent is to be motivated. Jessie says to Women’s Health that the post-workout feelings and endorphins are her ways of staying motivated to exercise. “I never really used to believe in that until I started working out. You do really get this sluggish feeling before a workout where you’re like, ‘Oh, I don’t want to do it,’ and you might feel a little low. But you do a workout, and it gives you that pickup. It makes me feel alive."
3. She Gave Up Sugar

Jessie told the Huffington Post that she decided to give up sugar. While she admitted it was difficult at first, she said it was extremely satisfying and rewarding. “I went through my wanting to punch anyone in the face for a few days and being really miserable, but now I am on the other side of it. It’s amazing. I would advise anyone to try it. It’s not easy, but it has been amazing. I am awake, I am sleeping better, my anxiety is better, I just feel brighter in myself. My skin has definitely improved. My cellulite has improved. There is no negative about quitting sugar.”
4. She Wants To Learn About Her Health

For Jessie, knowledge is an important factor in staying healthy. She tells the Huffington Post that she had health issues as a teenager, which caused her to start doing more research. She says that this knowledge helps her take care of herself. “I am a point where I want to be the healthiest I can be. So, I know that there has been a lot of recent discovery that sugar is attached to dementia and brain disease and heart disease. I have heart disease and had a stroke at 17, so I am always trying to be up on my health knowledge.”
5. She Mixes Up Her Workouts

Jessie talked about some of her favorite ways to workout in her interview with the Huffington Post. She says that she likes to do a lot of different exercises, that way she stays interested and invested. “I can do anything from SoulCycle to yoga to dancing. I love weight training because it means I gain weight, which is important for me. I do dumb bells and I do a little bit of Thai boxing, so I just kind of mix it up. I get bored easily since I am an Aries.”
