Getting dumped really hurts. It’s normal to mope around and feel sorry for yourself. After moping around for awhile, you may decide that you want to win your partner back. Or at least make him really regret dumping you! You could start working out at the gym. If you became a hottie with a ripped little revenge body, your ex might beg for you to take him back. But would you really want him?
“Revenge Body” is also a TV show starring Khloe Kardashian. She helps people get in shape, so they can feel better about themselves. A revenge body isn’t just to retaliate against your ex. Exercise helps your mood, and your physical health. If you are sad after getting dumped, exercise can help fight sadness and depression. Making your ex drool over your new body is just an added bonus.
Listen as Jordin talks to her trainer, Romeo, about getting revenge on her ex-boyfriend.
