OK, update: My muscles and I are just so happy to be here😄👏🙌! Having so much fun working out along with you🥳 Monday did chest 2x’s great. Tue arms 3 easy, did 5lbs. Wed shoulders 2 x’s, beginner bands. Arm is happy😄. Perfectly sore all around. Few questions: 1- can I do the flexi stretch on Monday and Tue and other days or do certain days use ball total body stretch or do you have other stretches before other days or full body stretches to do every day? I’d just like you to guide me with which stretches each day. 2- as I move working I’m very careful about my knee position. As when I was walking today at one point I do feel little twinges maybe under my knee or over knee , just randomly, no pain. They are sad😑. And 3- I wanted to point out as my teenager stressed me extremely bad today. I felt all the stress go to my upper glute tailbone area where it was achy weeks ago. It was just a mild ache mostly in the upper glute and to the hamstring very mild, hardly noticeable, but stress is clearly affecting my muscles as I homeschool them. That was a revelation for me just how much . I just lay on my back and put my knees up. Not sure if that was what you would’ve suggested. Joey I was trying to hold off questions so you have time to care for yourself, but they’re building up🥴🤭.

Yum! Wonderful meal :) 🫶🏻👏🙌🙏

That means a lot thank you Joann :)

Joey A. O.K. the lower body feels great, perfect amount of sore. 

As far as abs, I did almost 3 times. Getting legs up and butt off floor when on back is new and challenging but accomplished it.  Felt like my head was going to pop lol

No problem with stretches, I did everything, even leg over and across stretch and no extra unusual lower back ache. 

I'm ready for this week Joey!

P.s. Dear Lord, thank you for giving the surgeon wisdom from above and for guiding his hands tomorrow in the precious name of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ🙏

You are an inspiration! Can't wait to get where you are, love those arms and the cross :) Lord Thankyou ahead of time that you will meet Sarah-Jane where she is at! 🙏

It’s so great to see us ladies the same age experiencing the same thing with like-minded goals. Good luck in your journey.

55 and all those changes yes they just sneak up on you. So glad to be working alongside like-minded people with similar conditions and goals, good luck in your journey.

Joey A. Yes I bought a Swiss ball and some medicine balls And also a step on marketplace

Joey A. Good day!  I did the matt session. I did not do the leg over twist all the way as in the past after doing years of buns of steel I would have achy lower back.

I watched deep core with Madi and tried to apply tightening deep core in matt session to avoid irritating weak ackey lower back. 

I kept up with you every rep muscle wise. It is   just lumbar area feels ackey, no sciatica pain!  However, can I do extra on my glutes to help this? 

Another reason I want to hit glutes hard is because I never understood why I lost my bottom when sticking to healthy food plan and I expect more loss of bottom, where I can't afford to lose more. I'm ready for more to convert it, when you say. 

I will do the heat on back and stretch knee to chest, but I feel ok to keep going each day this week if you say:)
