You’re amazing! Thank you!
Thank you!
I’ve been trying to get muscle back for years… now 71 and am still working at it. I do know I have needed more protein, so have been ramping that up. But I don’t have money for all the hormones, 80 million supplements, etc. but I am flexible, and I do work out. So I will continue…
I’m right behind you.
Exercise does more for you than any supplement you cauldron take, specifically weight training. You don’t need money, you are in control.
@@robinp2039 never said I needed them, but JJ does push them…and she takes them!
Supplement with Creatine….Blocks enzyme that limits your muscle growth …..working with stroke and Parkinson’s patients we always use creatine to prevent muscle wasting and encourage muscle growth
Consider estrogen. If you have zero your going to be disappointed
This is so valuable ❤ thank you. Im 45, started consistently training 2 months ago. It takes a long time of consistency and time to see changes but it’s happening. Its not a quick return, thats for sure. Stick with it ladies!!
Glad you think so. Thank you for watching and keep up the work.
Do you work full time, when do you work out
Over 50 and I work full time and have teenage kids. My day starts at 5… I meet running buddies at 5:30 ( or I probably wouldn’t stick with it) Run for an hour drive back, shower and get ready for work. I am at work ~8 to 530 or 6p.
I write down my workout the day before so I don’t waste time trying to plan at the gym. Go to gym in the evening after making dinner or before dinner if my husband cooks. Workout is done in 30-45 minutes.
Similar to you, I started weight training at 46. I am now 53 and compete in powerlifting for fun. I will never stop lifting.
Thank you so much for this
Thankyou JJ for another great video. I got so much from this. I had surgery on my pelvic floor last year and have been battling to build up my strength ever since as I’m not allowed to lift anything heavy now. I’m going to go back to my physical therapist and see where to go from here as I can see how important it is. Thank you for this explanation 🙏
I like using a DVD. I use the following: Cathe Friedrich Slow and Heavy, The Firm Full Body Sculpt, The Firm Ab Sculpt, and some older ones that are really good, Kathy Smith Instant Workout, 29 Minute Beginners Workout
Wow the tripod analogy for the single arm row makes total sense! Thank you for such very well presented instructions
Thanks for this! I am 72 , joined gym a month ago – just want to “live” while I’m alive! I know nothing! This was triggered when I could NOT get out of the “low” chair at the beach…. 😩. The demo is so helpful.
I’m right you at 72! I think that is why JJ is such a good find.
It’s never go late to start BUT… young people, especially women, start working out NOW and NEVER STOP. I started lighting weights regularly in college, lifted throughout my pregnancy’s and still lift 5 days a week at 55. It’s the best thing you can do for yourself! 🤩
100% true. I took it for granted that I was in great shape, because I always worked out. Due to Covid and other situations I stopped working out for over five years. Now I am 65 and I lost a lot of my muscle mass. Now I am desperately trying to get it back or as much as possible. So yes please never ever stop working out. Warm Greetings from NYC.
Yep. I have mental health problems and found it super hard to work out. Now I’m “better” and I’ve gained 20kg! Time to get lifting…
22:08 is the workout
Thank you 🙏🏽
Yea there is a long lecture during each video. I just want the workout. Pick one video a week or month to educate us.
Clutch because at nine minutes in it still felt like it was right there just hold on 😂😂
Fantastic video! Thank you
I have osteoporosis, and I was delighted with this video, thanks so much.
Thank u so much, I really understood so much.
Glad it helped!
This is awesome!!! Thank you!!
Thank you! There is so much information here.
Glad it was helpful!
Found you on YouTube in October 2023, J.J. I love how you teach, explain the exercises for mature women. I have been exercising for one year now, I like resistance Bands and hand weights.
Great video!
Thanks!
Thank you so much for this amazing video
Thank you for watching!
I was one to not workout, in fact, I didn’t like it. In my younger years I was naturally fit and slim and could eat whatever I wanted so I had no motivation to work out. Now at 51, I’ve slowly progressed my workouts for several months, taking it up a notch gradually. I battle long term chronic pain in my glute area and am determined to get past it because I can’t live with that anymore. My left side glutes are slow baby steps and the rest of my body is feeling stronger that I feel lighter (not literally weight lighter) getting up from the floor.
Brand new here. I am 49 – and on spring break. Bikini pictures did it: I am going home and joining a gym. Never had to do anything to look toned and slim, that has definitely changed. Excited and scared for this new chapter. I want results w minimum effort so I can live my busy life looking fabulous and being healthy.
