OMG, I am so glad I found this. I just slowly started lifting weights last week and thought "what are you doing trying to kid yourself at age 65". You have inspired me so much that I thank you from the bottom of my heart Joan. I'm going to continue on after seeing what you have accomplished. I just hope I have your stamina.
@@joanmacdonald6346 please #Joan what vitamins you recommend ? For skin for bones … etc I am 65 Thank you ♥️ And one more question: have you ever tried doing pilates reformer for example? Let me know. I LoVe it
Joan, it would be great if you could make a video about the first month of a diet/fitness program for someone 55+ years old, especially for someone who has been away from fitness for a long time (or has never been fit.) I think that would really be helpful to beginners or "re-starters" like me. Thanks!
You inspire me and I plan to share your videos with my 74 yr old mom. She inspires me to walk and I want her to begin lifting weights too. Thanks Joan. May God continue to shine through you. 🌼
Hi Joan, wonderful work out. I used to run 20 miles pw, lift weights, and played tennis daily when working. After getting married, got sidetracked with my husband and his four children. For a while I was swimming 1.5hrs daily x 3 - when working and swimming in the lake - I was in great shape, had my own aqua Pilates program. However, moving to FL and returning to work (we are the same age) I am now out of shape. I need to get started again but am nervous of crowded gyms. I have always like working out on my own, and pools here in FL are too crowded, as are gyms. It has held me back. You are inspiring. I've been telling myself to 'get back into it' for 10 yrs now. But go the gym and the number of 'kids' there just seem to be a barrier to moving forward. If I had access to a private pool, not overlooked, I'd be back at it without hesitation, but somehow others being around - isn't good for me. I make excuses. I just prefer to work out alone, but don't have the funds to do that any longer - after rescuing my ex and his 4 children.
Hi Joan! Nice to see another video from you. Not sure when I will be able to get into a gym again, but I plan on taking your videos with me. Thanks for the inspiration :-)
Joan....You are an inspiration !! Keep it up, you are amazing ! I want to be like you !! Great lady with great calm, happy, positive disposition ! We all learn so much from you ! Thank you !!
Hi Joan! Thank you for sharing your amazing journey! I just ran across your channel and I love the transformation you have done with your body! I'm 66 yr old and I have started to work out at a gym with my son. I'm looking forward to seeing how my body responds to the change I set for it! Thank you again for all your encouragement! You are an amazing lady!! I'm looking forward to spending time watching all of the videos, that you have so graciously shared with the world! Much LOVE!
Would you do a video on your beginning workouts for 70 year old ladies like me, who are just starting out thanks to inspiring ladies such as yourself. I can't see why I couldn't achieve what you have, right? Maybe I could be as amazing as you someday!
My name is Leandro , I am 12 years old I live in Brazil and in this quarantine I am training football and physicist in a project and I saw you on TH-cam and it motivated me a lot more when I learned that you are 74 years old if I am not mistaken and that I was overweight and it was so success and health !! Congratulations
You have inspired me to kick up the weight training and stretching, I am overweight and keep using excuse that "I'm just getting older", NO MORE. Thanks for the inspiration. you are my idol.
You are one very amazing Lady...I happened to come across your story and was so inspired to learn more, I subscribed and watch 3 of your videos. Your transformation was and is incredible. It gives me hope that I can possibly achieve similar results with following your regimen. You are in such beautiful shape Joan and I know it was due to having such a great coach, your Daughter, and by committing to doing the work. Outstanding! I will be following you and watching your videos. Thank you.♥️
Hi: Binging on your videos. I will watch anything that you or Michelle have put out.Great video. In the bicycle squat is your knee coming out over your toe? I couldn't tell. Am playing this video at the gym. Thank you so so much for doing this.
Holy Moly Joan! The most impressive to me was your use of the foam roller- I am not able to stay on one lol! You are an inspiration to me to keep trying. Thank you!
I'm 23 and you have better knee joints than me, and your squat form is awesome! I can't even do squats 😂 keep it up, you have inspired me to work harder in the gym!
After watching this Amazing lady nobody I mean nobody should have excuses to not better their health because health is wealth for sure you wake up each morning ready to face the day with a positive attitude your amazing woman Joan keep up good work..
I too would like to have some guidance on getting started. It is great to see you now; but I am sure you didn't start out with those huge weights. What do you do when you are back in Cobourg?
If I am back home I still train at the gym (when they are open). I would say with getting started, the best thing to do is to work with a great trainer.
Hi Scarlet! I am currently training in Tulum with my daughter Michelle. I do not take HRT. My results have come from great daily habits of training, tracking nutrition, and working on a positive mindset
Can you tell me about your knee braces? My knees are really bothering me from using the seated leg press and doing so many squats and lunges in class. I would like to lift heavier. my thighs Will allow it. My knees won't.
Joan I have a quick question. I have excess fat in my inner thigh inner. What excercises can make an major difference in my inner thighs? Thanks in advance!!
Eres una inspiración para todas las mujeres que ponemos mil excusas, para ejercitarnos tú nos demuestras que no importa la edad solo es cuestión de decisión y poner todo nuestro esfuerzo para conseguir una meta.
Your Amazing. I am 54 and had three nerves cut in my left shoulder and I have a 12 year old son. I had to take 9 weeks of steroids for allergies. I gained 50 lbs and I need to try to do this for myself and to be healthy for my son. I looked into your daugthers group. I just cannot afford 2400. do you have a simple starter program for less?
Hello Joan , Thank you for your video and for your inspiring motivation , I have bone on bone arthritis in my knees. I am in a lot of pain. Did you have knee replacements ?
@@joanmacdonald6346 thank you for answering I wish I could come be by your side for a month. My knees hurt a whole lot. Today I found out I have two lovely spurs and arthritis in both knees. How on earth were you able to get past the pain?
Her smile through the exercises warm my heart. Live long ma'am

Cleo thanks for such a wonderful message. Keep on going! You can do this :)
It is a gradual increase of weights each until it just becomes really difficult then stay at that weight 😊
