Thank you so much, Joey 🤗 All is well here. I really appreciate your message, and I’m glad you’ll keep us posted 💛.

Joey A. Thanks Joey, that makes total sense. I’ll keep focusing on the long‑term trends. I only mentioned the readings because I wasn’t sure how to interpret the muscle and fat‑free mass changes, but I’m feeling good and staying consistent.

Joey A. Thank you so much, Joey — that really helps put my mind at ease. I’m glad to know it was just gravity and body position during the movement.

Since you mentioned progress, I wanted to ask you something related. I’ve been tracking my body composition with Renpho, and my muscle mass has actually gone up — from 6.21 in April to 6.27 today. My fat‑free mass has also increased from 6.61 in April to 6.66 today , and my protein % only shifted by 0.01%, so I’m not sure how much of that is true muscle improvement versus normal hydration and hormone fluctuation.

My lowest body‑fat point was earlier in the year, and it’s gone a bit higher now — but I haven’t checked it much since spring, so I’m not sure how much of that is just normal variation over time.

If it helps, I can share the side‑by‑side screenshots — I’d really appreciate your thoughts so I can keep things in perspective and stay on track.

Thanks again for all your guidance, Joey. It means a lot.

Ok thanks Joey 😊

Thank you Joey and for such a quick reply too 😄 I can do the ‘Joeys’ or TBUD’s without weights but I haven’t got any weights to do exercises like the ‘basic slow chop’, ‘the straight line draw’, ‘floor to sky’ on the basic cardio session and most of the exercises on the 20 min cardio session either like ‘the step up and down’, ‘the V-Draw’ and ‘step and reach’ which is most of the cardio exercises, so I’m just wondering what do you recommend I do for all of those please? Unless I buy a small set of dumbbells from Walmart or something 🤔

Hi Joey, thank you so much for replying 😊I’ve never had my wrists checked by an orthopedist, so that might be a good next step for me. It’s been a long time since I last did the hammer curl variation with the turning motion, so I honestly can’t remember if both wrists click or if it was mainly one side. I’ll pay attention next time I try it gently.

Thank you for the wrist support recommendation — I’ll take a look at those. I really appreciate your help with this.

The Body on Point videos work now Joey, that’s great, I’m looking forward to watching them 😀

That’s good about the back move too, I will do them with the upper body elevated, thanks Joey 😊

Thank you for the feedback Joey 😊

I used the peanut ball yesterday for the side planks in the Midriff Makeover and I felt it more because I had to stabilise the ball so it doesn’t move. I am wondering about the exercise for your back with your ankles and bottoms of calves on the ball, if my upper body is on the floor it doesn’t give much leverage, so would it be an idea to raise my upper body onto the couch as I can dip my hips further towards the floor and then raise my hips up to straight in line with my lower half?

I am good on the whole thank you for asking Joey 😚but I have been suffering with cycles of Perimenopausal symptoms which hasn’t been very pleasant 😩 but I look after my body and mind as much as I can with good nutrition and your amazing workouts 😊

Thank you for the email about being able to access the Body on point videos, I cannot access them though, it says I have to purchase it? ☹️

I’m glad you think my numbers aren’t too bad 😊 and Yes that makes sense, thank you Joey 😊 I will work on decreasing my body fat percentage and increasing my muscle mass as you have advised.

Thank you for your continued guidance 🥰
