Jaime admits the fact “No pain, no gain” and hence tries to do exercises really hard to get fruitful results. She believes in curvy bodies and so does not want to have size 0. For that, Pressly eats a healthy and filling diet, and do toning exercises.
She takes help from Los Angeles-based trainer, Mike Jones. To target her overall body, she works out with him 4 days a week, especially a circuit training session. She gets bored easily with the same exercise routine. So, Jones changes the exercises on a regular basis.
