Hello everybody from Virginia! Jenny here, wanted to introduce myself. I've been here for a few weeks now, just getting used to everything here. I wanted to share my journey so far.

Background, I've been working out since my dad got me a gym membership for my 16th birthday (best present EVER!) I dove right into weightlifting and never looked back. Straight out of high school I went to basic training (ARMY National Guard). Fast forward - 3 grown kids, an amazing husband and 55 years young 😀. 

I found Joey on youtube and very quickly decided to come on over to the app so I could follow along without the youtube commercials 😂

Here's how that journey has been going so far: 

I started with the beginner workouts & was surprised how sore I got, even though I have been working out for years. I had been lifting heavy & doing lots of cardio, but stopped getting ANY soreness (or results) after working out. When I turned 50 (now 55) the hormonal changes hit me hard & the weight gain & saggy arms and thighs was a shock. I did some tweaks to my diet & found some resistance band training on youtube and started to see a slight change in my body. Then one day I stumbled on one of Joey's youtube videos and I really liked what I saw! I started doing the workouts on youtube and was so surprised with how they challenged my body, I was feeling sore (the good sore) the next day. I started to see the saggy arms & thighs begin to tone up again! I still have about 15-20 pounds to lose but now I see it's possible.

I've been doing the Fusion-bomb workouts recently & I love them! New goal is to master the spiderman pushup 😅😂
