Ok Joey! TY for everything! Will add walking back in!

Hi Joey yes I'm sore. Yes I have fat to lose. I can walk in my neighborhood. I have walked before 20 min, 2 miles occasionally 3. I do videos so they're not just walking pretty fast paced knee lifts hamstring curls etc. so what do u suggest? I'm not quite there yet with the workouts getting easier!

You are welcome Joey! So how long does it take to progress from beginner to intermediate level? I still struggle with 1 set of 15 reps for all 5 days after 4 wks. Is this average for my age(73)? Should I add walking each day and for how long? Thx!

I love this it helps so much!!!!

Will do thx Joey Have a joyfilled 2026!

Sure! Here it is!

Didn't have room in my last comment. My grandfather Alphonso !! grew a beautiful fig tree on Long Island. They were green tear drops with a blush on the bottom. I loved them so much! In landlocked Utah forgetaboutit! they don't grow here! And I can't find them in the stores that is so neat that you are growing one!!! Brings back memories!

Ok, I was 110-115 up till age 46 then I went into early menopause. I struggled with my weight ballooning up to 150 but finally getting down to 130 lbs in past 9 years. My lowest weight most recently was 116.8 in April of this year and yes I was doing you tube videos pilates, weights, walking cardio 6 days a week. I have gained 12 lbs since then and am shocked! I haven't gone off track that much but who knows?? A typical (and yes not the greatest) breakfast for me is 1-2 eggs, sugar free nitrate free bacon 2 slices, 2 slices Dave's Killer bread with butter, coffee nutpods creamer and monkfruit sweetner or coconut sugar 2 tsp. I was exercising in the am, but I then exercised in last 8 months all over the place am, afternoon, late afternoon, and I am not consistently walking. Like I said this is week 3 of your exercises in the beginner schedule which also shocked me as to how hard they were since I was not new to exercising. Perhaps thyroid? Thanks muchly💜

My height is 5'1 1/2". That was the weight where I looked the best when I was younger. Yes I do have that kind of scale; my stats are 29.5% body fat! BMI 23.3 skeletal muscle 41.1%,muscle mass 84 lb, bone mass 5.3 lbs, visceral fat 6%,subcutaneous fat 27.1 % my metabolic age 73! Cardio walking- 1,2,3 mile,and combo of functional exercises, pilates, weights ( light 2,3, 5 lbs was stretching it) 5_6 days a week. I was sore a lot!

I am finding it a bit easier to do each day's workout in the 5 day beginners schedule. My goal is to tighten and tone as much as I can at 73. I would like to lose 10 lbs. I'm 127 now. I have ❤️ issues so improving total cholesterol and triglycerides. My HDL is great. My ldl isn't bad.My A1c needs to be lower from 6.3 to my goal of 5.7. Well I mentioned before I was on a modified keto. But I believe I have food addictions/ cravings/ sensitivities. Specifically cheese. Also using monkfruit alot! I have trouble with fasting so I'll eat 2 slices of Dave's killer bread, 2 slices sugar free no nitrates bacon and 2 eggs at 10. Then a dinner at 4:30. With 2 snacks ( cheese) or chickpea chips. I get really hungry at night. I have 2-3 coffees with nutpod or coconut milk creamer with above mentioned monkfruit. In last 2 weeks I've incorporated more carbs like squash, fingerling potatoes. I don't ever have corn. But I have been having pork, chicken, steak and fish. Not all at once! lol!I am starting a Whole 30 plant based plan in January. I did plant based before and had great results with it for 6 mos. but realized I needed some more protein as my hair, nails were dry and I started having no energy. I ended that and went to the keto stuff. I have lost and gained back many times. I want to lose and have it stay lost! I hope I answered your questions?! I really like the exercises and feel like IF I stick with it and am consistent I'll make progress! My heart symptoms of shortness of breath are worsening but I am trying to push thru that. My cardiologist encourages me to exercise.I have for a year but didn't get the results( definition) that I expected. So I stumbled upon your You Tube videos and said " Why not try his methods?!"
