Hi Joan! At 66 years old, I started working out at the gym with my son. I feel inspired by you! Your journey is so amazing for sure! Thank you so much for all your help! Much LOVE!
You are amazing. You are an inspiration to me. I will be 70 next month and have been pretty good about exercising and eating right, for many years. But about 2 years ago, I began getting into a rut and didn't see my way out of it. That was until I discovered your video. You came such a long way, I was in awe. To make a long story short, you helped me get my act together. Today, I sent your link to a friend who just turned 70 and is trying to get in shape. I hope she is inspired as much as I am by you. You are a beautiful lady, inside and out. All the best to you!!!
"Don't let yourself go... because you could be here for a long time and you want to be here for a good time..." I am in my 50's, but you and Jane Fonda inspire, thanks so much for your words. Enjoy all you can... Warm hugs from the Bay Area of California 🌞
Hey Joan! I just turned 71 day before yesterday.... and I won't go into my story but I've been real sick for 6 years and had bad brain damage because of a pharmaceutical drug the doctor took me off of cold turkey and 6 years later now I need to regroup and start again. I really wanted to have a role model because I've never had a role model for anything.. so I said a prayer and asked God to bring me somebody and wallah...you're it! I used to be a dancer and haven't been able to dance these six years and I've gained a lot of weight and lost all my strength. My dream has come back of having a muscular body and not too long after the dream came back you popped up on my screen right in front of my face. Wallah! I experimented with the knee raises and I can do those easily...so my new journey has begun... a birthday gift to me! Thank you so so much for doing this! Looking forward to my new life finally with such a great role model!
I am 58, overweight and you are such an inspiration. I would love to live in Mexico in the winter. Try all kinds of new things. Pe the kids are grown. God led me to you. You’ve lit a fire to begin again. I love your workout videos but would also love to see more about Tulim life. I know there are many expats there. Anyway, thanks for sharing your amazing transformation!! God bless you and your family.
Your so inspiring. I turned 70 in July. I wasn't looking for you, but I believe I was sent your way, to get me started. Thank Yku so much for putting your story out there for All of Us. God Bless!! From North Texas USA
I’ve only just discovered you. I’ll be 70 in a couple of months. Love my training ,but would love to do heavier weights like you. So I’m going to follow you and all your tips. Hope you get to the UK.( I’m in Wales)xxx
Hi Joan! I’m blown away from your dedication and transformation😍 With your gym sessions being 1.5 to 2 hours at any given time, how many days of the week are you working out? I’m 57 and I’m finding that the diet I had in my 30s and 40s is not appropriate. The muffin top struggle is real. Did you “break up” with any foods like breads, pastas and certain sugars? Thank you & Happy New Year💪🏼
Hi Shelia, no breaking up with food. I still enjoy bread, pasta, and a treat every now and again. I just partition my meals differently. I train 5 days a week :)
Hi Joan! I love this video, I look forward to your IG every day. 🥰 I do have a question. When you started your journey (or even now) did you have any hormonal imbalances that you needed to manage? Thank you. 💚
@@joanmacdonald6346 I have low testosterone and did have supplement with a pellet for about a year but it seemed to cause my hyperthyroidism so I quit but I worry and I have Dermatomyositis all makes me weak in every way! I’m fighting and you inspire me! You go girl!
I enjoyed this video so much Joan but somehow missed submitting questions!👌 Here are some of mine: What does your husband think about your incredible transformation and have you converted him to weight training? Will he join you in Mexico? What do your sons and their families think about your superstar status? Were you surprised by your meteoric Instagram success and how has it changed things for you? What are your fitness and life goals for 2021? Always delighted to see postings from you, Michelle and JJ! X
My husband is proud of my accomplishments, he's still stalling about coming here. He's trying to get a little stronger and my sons are behind me 100 percent.I was very surprised by my success and my goals are simply to stay healthy,thanks for asking.
@@joanmacdonald6346 Hi Joan...I wake up every morning to see you and Michelle's INSTAGRAM. You are an inspiration! I'm 72 (feel younger. LOL!)and have been an Exercise instructor for years! (retired) I'm learning so much from you! Do you get to see hubby every few months? He's still deciding to move to Mexico? Thank you! You are a ray of sunshine!
Thank you for this video! Would you be kind to make some more detailed videos about your morning, night and/or daily routines? Oh! and skin care routine? :) Thank you for giving me hope. Warm regards from Chile!
Hi Joan, I'm new to your channel and just loved this video. I love Tulum and it's been years since we were there. You are such an inspiration. I'm 66 and had lost weight on Keto in 2017 and kept it off ofr 15 months, but since then have gained back. I think I need a change. I'm going to check out your daughter's program b/c I'm frustrated. You look fab! I'm so happy for you and your journey. Happy New Year!!
@@joanmacdonald6346 aww that is awesome. You guys make my heart smile and give me true inspiration. Not only for health but mental awareness and wellness. I love your youtube and all your posts.

Congratulations on regaining your health. You are truly an inspiration. Would you be kind enough to tell me where to begin? I'm 57, overweight and have become stiff due to recovering from a torn ACL. DO YOU HAVE A BEGINNERS VIDEO?
If you want to zipline, I highly recommend doing it in Thailand! I went with my daughter, before I started getting fit, But it was wonderful. We were up in the tree lines with the monkeys. Amazing. Your story has been an inspiration to me. I am now 66 and working at it!
I love your answer to "how long do you workouts take"? I too have to take my time. I have asthma and it sometimes gets in my way with my lifting and I have to catch my breath in between lifts. (I'm 60).
Happy New year Joan! I was wondering if you have osteoperosis or osteopenia and if you know what exercises are good and safe to do with these conditions and what ones to avoid?
Hi Joan, I have been following you on Instagram this past year and you are so inspiring! I have recently started using the Women’s Best products and love them! I am working on losing weight and getting in better shape 2021. Best wishes and great health for you and your family.
I would love to start but I do not have the time, working full time, to spend 30 minutes a day on cardio and an hour on weights AND prepare and count my macros and prepare four meals a day….. But then again when I retire, within a year, that will make it attainable
Hi Tammy, my daughter Michelle creates all my workouts. I sometimes post on here or my instagram what I am doing. I workout 5 days per week. On my rest days I will sometimes do a yoga class, etc. if it is available.
@@joanmacdonald6346 do you workout 5 days in a row or skip a day between workouts? I seem to feel fatigued if I go days in a row..I’m younger than you but no longer a spring chicken..62
Hey Joan. Thank you for the inspirational videos: i just found you. I'd like to know if you are on hormonal replacement therapy. I wonder if i could get so toned (am perimenopausal) without hormones, even with a lot of discipline and hard work. Am a bit scared of HRT. Thanks for your kind answer.
Hello Joan and Happy New Year! Thank you for being an inspiration to so many. You are a delight to watch. What kind of BCAA do you use? Which brand? Thank you!
I find your story so inspiring and you are great role model - you are so beautiful and very glamorous and have a sparkle in your eyes! I have decided to get fit again....
You are truly an inspiration. I do suffer from chronic pain on my neck and back due to radicalopathy on my neck. I want to ask you, where to start? I see all your routines but where to begin. I am 51, a former athlete, however I do not anymore where to retake this journey. Help!!!😊 thank you.
Hi Joan I am so happy to have found you You are such an inspiration for me. I am 66 years young and very overweight. I want/need to lose probably 70 lbs. I honestly don’t know where to start. How to choose my meals/nutrition and exercise. Can you help me? Thankyou so much Paula
Did you say you worked for the Ontario, Canada government.? Also my hubby ❤️ and o are back working out we changed our gym we drive to go to one we enjoy. He is 65 March 29 and I am 56. Working out together is like an aphrodisiac, a connection to spark your relationship. Love watching you. Xo
Please share how you started your journey to health and fitness. What was it like when you were starting out? What do you eat? How many times a week do you work out? And how long?
I would love to learn what your beginning workouts were. I'm 64 and would love to get back into the gym, but don't feel like I know where to start anymore!
When you first started what was your macro count a day?...and what is it now that you've achieved your healthy weight?.. Thank you for your inspiring story..😊
You are an inspiration! I am 64 and would like to know how to get started. I know it is baby steps but would like to know what the steps are. Diet first? Exercise first? please help.
Please give us a video that explains how to use your, "Train with Joan" app. For instance, how do we track our carbs/proteins… Does your app automatically do that for us when we choose a menu or do we have to do it on a separate page? Thank you for the inspiration
Hi Joan, I’m new in your channel. How you get to live in Mexico? How is the rent in Tulum? It looks like paradise. I’m a retired teacher leaving in NY. Thank you for sharing your live style and wellness. You inspire me. Is always a pleasure to watch your videos.❤️😊
Hi, I just discovered your channel loved it. Can you tell me how long you've been strength training and how much weight have you lost, also have you had any constructive surgery?
You mentioned husband, where is he now? Do you live alone or with husband? If you have a man , does he exercise with you? Thank you! I just love you! Inspirational women! I mostly just walk run treadmill and outside when nice but I would like to strength train too! I have a disease that makes my muscles weak called Dermatomyositis. I want to beat this disease and not let it take away my ability to move and it can!
@@joanmacdonald6346 You continue to inspire us all that anything is possible. Love to follow your Instagram and TH-cam channels. Just ended up listening to an episode of podcast of Fortitude: Fitness Through the Lifespan with Michelle, Jean and Joan. Was awesome, thanks!
I love you Ms. Joan. I wished you were closer to me so I could be part of your workout team. I'm in Southern California and have visited Hawaii three times in my life. Question: how could I motivate my mother to exercise? She is 200 lbs and 5.2", has osteoarthritis, had bilateral knee replacement and bilateral shoulder replacement? Thank you 🙏🙏
I just had a left knee replacement 9-29-19. Did well in PT but still have some lingering pain on the outside of my knee that keeps me from getting that 120 degrees of bend. Not giving up & have been discharged from PT with some home exercises with bands & ankle weights. Gyms aren't accessible because of Covid. Can you give me some leg ideas to do at home please. I am a 63yr old breast cancer survivor as well. Thank you so much!
@@joanmacdonald6346 Thanks so much! Seeing my PT again in follow up in another week. I really appreciate your response & suggestions. You are a Queen of inspiration for me!!
Oh Joan, I haven't watched you in bit my lovely, but just wanted to say hi and tell you how proud I am of you, you look better and more delicious each time I see you. Looks like you're having the time of your life. Take care, much love and blessings to you 🦋🌺🌼🌻
Hi I would love to try this lifestyle I just turned 17 this summer and feel and see the need to change things up. But when you talk about the food that you eat the mixes that you use for pancakes I don’t know what you’re talking about and I don’t know what macros are either even though I have studied nutrition for the last 25 years. Is your colestrol and triglycerides low?
i was in great shape 10 years ago then had heart problem. now gained 40lbs.. keto did not work.. where do you even start? my addisons limits my energy but i must do something or end up in a nursing home when i would rather be diving or zip lining. am trying slow ta? i chi movements and meditate.. eat super healthy. but need to move forward.. suggestions? thanks you are so lucky to live in tulum.. some days i think i will move over there as cozumel is getting too busy..
We would work around them when I have an injury and am recovering. I do have some arthritis and I just work through the mild pain. I find when I move I just feel so much better.
Thanks Joan!!👍👍👍 Its an interesting video, i follow you, you are my motivation i'm 62. My question Is, Is necessari ti take WHEY complements ti build muscle on common person s ( i mean not athetles) Gracias👍👍👍

Hi! I currently do not have a beginner's video. I really suggest starting with a coach that can guide you through this process :)

@@joanmacdonald6346 You continue to inspire us all that anything is possible. Love to follow your Instagram and TH-cam channels. Just ended up listening to an episode of podcast of Fortitude: Fitness Through the Lifespan with Michelle, Jean and Joan. Was awesome, thanks!
I love you Ms. Joan. I wished you were closer to me so I could be part of your workout team. I'm in Southern California and have visited Hawaii three times in my life.
Question: how could I motivate my mother to exercise? She is 200 lbs and 5.2", has osteoarthritis, had bilateral knee replacement and bilateral shoulder replacement?
Thank you 🙏🙏
What app do you use for macros?
Do you still record your macros every day or do you intuitively know what to eat now?
Do you consider yourself a positive person by nature or is it because of the exercising?
I just had a left knee replacement 9-29-19. Did well in PT but still have some lingering pain on the outside of my knee that keeps me from getting that 120 degrees of bend. Not giving up & have been discharged from PT with some home exercises with bands & ankle weights. Gyms aren't accessible because of Covid. Can you give me some leg ideas to do at home please. I am a 63yr old breast cancer survivor as well. Thank you so much!
Hi Carol, banded fire hydrants, glute kickbacks, romanian dumbbell deadlift may be some moves to look into. Make sure to consult your PT.
@@joanmacdonald6346 Thanks so much! Seeing my PT again in follow up in another week. I really appreciate your response & suggestions. You are a Queen of inspiration for me!!
Oh Joan, I haven't watched you in bit my lovely, but just wanted to say hi and tell you how proud I am of you, you look better and more delicious each time I see you. Looks like you're having the time of your life. Take care, much love and blessings to you 🦋🌺🌼🌻
Blessings to you Rosa!
Great questions!
Just found your Instagram Joan...very inspiring.... my brother retired to tulum 4 yrs ago from london ontario .... where in Ontario are you from?
try indoor skydiving first:) thanks for sharing!!
Love Joan!
Do you take Hormone replacements?
Do you understand Spanish? Do you speak Spanish ?
Hi Joan. Could you list your two morning meditation you .mentioned. Many thanks.
Hi I would love to try this lifestyle I just turned 17 this summer and feel and see the need to change things up. But when you talk about the food that you eat the mixes that you use for pancakes I don’t know what you’re talking about and I don’t know what macros are either even though I have studied nutrition for the last 25 years. Is your colestrol and triglycerides low?
i was in great shape 10 years ago then had heart problem. now gained 40lbs.. keto did not work.. where do you even start? my addisons limits my energy but i must do something or end up in a nursing home when i would rather be diving or zip lining. am trying slow ta? i chi movements and meditate.. eat super healthy. but need to move forward.. suggestions? thanks you are so lucky to live in tulum.. some days i think i will move over there as cozumel is getting too busy..
Hi Joan, I have a knee replacement and the other knee is not strong....so many of your exercises challenge the knees...do you have workarounds?
How did you overcome your injuries (shoulder, knee) during your transformation and now ?
We would work around them when I have an injury and am recovering. I do have some arthritis and I just work through the mild pain. I find when I move I just feel so much better.
Thanks Joan!!👍👍👍 Its an interesting video, i follow you, you are my motivation i'm 62. My question Is, Is necessari ti take WHEY complements ti build muscle on common person s ( i mean not athetles) Gracias👍👍👍
Nobody has to take whey- even athletes. I think it helps people hit protein macros easier.
@@joanmacdonald6346 thanks for answer me!!!😊
Joan I went and bought 2 5 pounds weights so iam asking what kind of exercise can I do at home?
I really need guidance on the diet. How much to eat in a serving, etc
Come to New Zealand 🤗💗
I hope to soon!
