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.

Hi Joey 😊

I’d love your advice on something that’s been limiting me during some of the exercises.

I have unusually small wrists, and I think that might be contributing to a recurring issue. For quite a few years I’ve noticed that my wrists ache and feel unstable whenever I go into any kind of press‑up position — whether it’s wall height, countertop height, from my knees, or even using the side of the sofa. I’ve always just worked around it, but now that I’m trying to progress with certain moves, it’s becoming more of a problem and is holding me back.

I also feel it during some bicep curl variations. If I do a hammer curl with a turning motion, my wrist feels weak, sometimes clicks, and it almost feels like something might pop out of place. Because of that sensation, I can’t fully focus on the muscles I’m trying to work, and I end up backing off the movement.

I’d really appreciate your guidance on how to strengthen my wrists safely and build more stability so I can progress without worrying about that clicking/instability feeling.

Thank you so much — your training has helped me so much already, and I want to make sure I’m doing things in the safest, most effective way.

Sending much love to you Joey ❤️and I hope you and you’re family are well 🙏🙏

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? ☹️

Hi Joey, I hope you and your family are well 😊

Yesterday I did the Midriff Makeover Parts 1 & 2 (As I hadn’t done that one for quite some time) and it inspired me to finally buy a ‘Peanut ball’ 😝 instead of using stacked pillows or my couch. Is it Ok for my body to be on the floor, whilst my ankles are elevated on the peanut ball? Or should my body be elevated both ends like in the picture?

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 🥰

That’s great thanks Joey 😊

I’m concerned about my body fat which I think is rather high, even though it says average, I feel like I look better than those numbers show 😕

I’m also concerned with the subcutaneous fat numbers, and I thought my weight was a little high, but some of that could be muscle. I used to weigh around 8 and a half stone, but I haven’t weighed for years (maybe some of it is muscle, as my muscle mass is showing high, which I’m very pleased with, and I think that shows the effort I put in with your workouts 😊) I’m also pleased with my protein levels which are showing as high.

My results from the 19th August 2025 are as follows, and I’m wondering if you can advise me what I need to concentrate on? And how can I improve the numbers that you think I need to improve on?

(You probably already know, but if you click on the image it makes it bigger)

Thanks Joey

Hi Joey, I’ve got my first readings from the body fat scale, (12 August, I’m due to take my next readings tomorrow) I’m a bit surprised by a few of the numbers, some are good, some not so good 😕

Am I allowed to post the readings on here so you can guide me on what to do in regards to training/nutrition because I think I need some guidance /tweaking again?

(I posted this on the Joey Atlas Fitness group but I’m not sure if you saw it, I know you are Super busy so thank you in advance 😚)
