I was all in until you said "muscle weighs more than fat" 13:27 . As a professional trainer, please stop spreading this fallacy. A pound of muscle weighs a pound and a pound of fat weighs a pound same for a pound of feathers. What you should be telling your readers is a pound of muscle has less mass or simply takes up less space than a pound of fat. So, you can look smaller and not have lost weight on the scale because as you lost fat weight and increased muscle weight. Maybe you meant to say that muscle would weigh more than fat at the same volume since muscle is more dense than fat. Not everyone understands this, though. Thank you for this informative video.
I am so thankful that I found you. I will turn 50 in a few weeks. I hit menopause going full throttle back in 2019!!! I was grieving my spouse as well. So it all piled on and so did the weight. In a few short months I had gained about 55 pounds. And knowing next to nothing about menopause, I didn't know my metabolism was bottoming out. Now I fluctuate up to 8 pounds a day. To hear you explain the what's, the who's, the why's, and the how's, I am beyond excited to learn. You are an inspiring lady!! And your dedication shines through each video. I have already started applying some of your exercises to my daily routine and I love how they are making me feel! Thank you!
I like how you are thinking about menopausal women getting started and you show variations for us who are still weak in our core. When I started, I was 180 lb. and could barely lift myself off the floor due to fat and joint pain. I'm at 157 lb. now and feeling stronger everyday! Some days it takes me 20 minutes just to get warmed up and stretch my painful left hip. I am much better though since I have eliminated foods and adding some back. If I eat something I don't usually eat and I have pain, I can target that food as potentially inflammatory.
There are so many exercises and types of equipment that I just get overwhelmed and don't do anything. I love that you have presented a very simple program that I am excited to try.
Thank you from the heart! I am happy to have found you as l am starting at home with strength training. It will prevent wrong positions and harming myself🙏🏼🌸
I’m 63 years YOUNG. 😜 I weigh 135 & am 5’4”. I do need to exercise and lift weights. 🏋️♀️ Thank you for ALL of the IMPORTANT information that you provide!!! You’re awesome!!!😊😃😁
How great you are with all that you do. You are a true master, I have a long way to go. Thank you for sharing all your powerful knowledge. I am applying it one piece at a time...love the teal colors, by the way, my favorite. Cordially, Catherine
Really appreciate your breaking excerises down for us newbies to strength training. Always been a cardio fan. Happy to learn something new. And good for me.
Thanks dear for your divine guidance I am 59 yr old gynecologist from India. I do yoga on Monday and Thursday, weight training on Tuesday and friday, hiit on Saturday and wensday, is it OK. Additional I do regular meditation twice a day
So, so helpful - thank you! I’m nearing 40, and not overweight but *so* behind in the muscle department after 7 babies. (I didn’t exercise enough during pregnancies, and didn’t recover fully between them.) Your info is helping me know what to prioritize for the later decades of life. 💛
I worked out for several years before I started having low back pain. I appreciate the modifications you explained very clearly in this video!!! I have a renewed sense of hope in my workouts now!! Thanks so much ❤
Hi JJ, your videos and explanations are amazing! Glad I found your channel (just recently). Could you share how to work on the body core for women over 50? Thank you again!
I am a truck driver. I am home 3 days a week. I am going to meal prep before my 4 days out. I am gonna concentrate on weighing my protein. I am so glad I found you. Although I love Dr. Ken Berry, I don’t think he focuses on enough of exercise and fiber. I do well fasting and eating one meal a day. I just don’t get enough protein. I can go to gym when home, but I don’t really have much time to exercise. I drive 11 hours a day? My husband and I switch out. I walk my beagles everyday. I don’t always get great sleep. Blame the states that don’t fix roads on interstate lol. I am 158, and my ideal weight is 130. I definitely have poor muscles. I barely can get off floor, because my legs are so weak. Is it to late to do this at 56 lol I do love swimming. Can I sprint doing that without stressing my cortisol? Gonna also do sauna. How long do you suggest for sauna?
You are THE GOAT! Love how you present. So professional and thorough. Would you consider doing a video on how to best design a program and also the various types of sets (supersets, pyramid, circuits, compound, giant….). I feel like that topic is not addressed much. Also, looking forward to that red light video😊. You’re the best❤ Lisa
Hola hermosa, te Vi en la entrevista con Luis en español.... Me encantaría seguirte ....pero no entiendo inglés.... ojalá pudieras doblarlo a español. Eres muy valiosa. Gracias ❤
Please help.😊 I watched your very informative video about nutrition. I was hoping you could do a similar video for those of us who want to eat healthy but need to shop at Walmart dollar tree. Dollar general. It would be so helpful to well most of us. Thank you very much. Can't wait to see your ideas!!!❤
Getting your hormones in step are KEY to building muscle and for a general sense of well being. Otherwise, you will be hitting a wall - HARD. I’m 66, and until I got my hormones in check life was NO BUENO. Also you have to be consistent with working out, start slow, build up.
You look absolutely beautiful and young Miss J.J. Thank you for sharing… I’ve just learnt something, been doing the rows wrong by putting me knee on a bench but I will rectify this.
This was a super great video!! Thank you so much JJ. Very appreciated!! Would love to see a book from you on how to increase power over time. Like u said:Age powerfully!!!

You can definitely do this if it's more comfortable for you, just keep your hips squared if you do! Thanks for the question, this is a great modification option

Hi JJ, Can i do squats with a hip replacement?
Timeline mitapure :: expensive ! Any alternatives you can suggest ? Thanks.
*I was told a pound of muscle and a pound of fat both weigh a pound each, but muscle makes you look leaner & muscular.*
Also raises your metabolism and helps burn fat faster.
Do you have a video where you just do the exercises? I’d like to follow along.
I will add gluteus bridge or hip thrust and lateral raises😀
JJ, what is your opinion on investing on an elliptical machine for cardio?
Thoughts on HMB? Does it work?
So, the 5 exercises are deadlift, Squat, bent over row, chest pull up, shoulder arm lift?
You look absolutely beautiful and young Miss J.J.
Thank you for sharing… I’ve just learnt something, been doing the rows wrong by putting me knee on a bench but I will rectify this.
How many reps for each exercise?
JJ, Is that a stair stepper behind you? I have been looking for one, I don't like an elliptical.
This was a super great video!! Thank you so much JJ. Very appreciated!! Would love to see a book from you on how to increase power over time. Like u said:Age powerfully!!!
Great suggestion! Thanks for watching, appreciate you being here! I'll see if we can make a video on this soon :)

Why don't you put your knee on a bench to do a single arm row?
You can definitely do this if it's more comfortable for you, just keep your hips squared if you do! Thanks for the question, this is a great modification option
I need some rocket fuel JJ :)
Thank you!
