Hi Rhona, I just wanted to encourage all the ladies that are participating in your program and tell them to keep up the good work. My name is Joan. I was 70 when I began Rhona's Bodyworks program in January 2021. My goal was to lose 25 pounds as well as tone my body, lose some inches and generally feel better. The program came along when I was in a slump, I had gained weight and wasn't feeling as energetic as usual. I loved everything about the program.

Rhona's energetic, positive nature was always encouraging. Recording what I ate and drinking 8 glasses of water a day really helped keep me on track. I found I wasn't hungry and craving empty carbs like I normally would. I did have my moments but usually managed to eat a healthier snack, usually protein rather than junk food. The exercise program was great because they were short, but I always felt like I had a good workout. At the end of 6 weeks, I had lost 14.8 pounds and 21.5 inches. I gained other benefits from the program as well. I can now go up and down stairs one foot after the other instead of putting one foot on the step and pulling the other one after it. My arthritic knees are much stronger now, probably from strengthening the muscles. I notice my balance is better as well. Also, my right arm which has a tear in the rotator cuff is much more flexible and I am hoping I can avoid surgery on it. Although I can't do some of the weight exercises with my right arm, I feel the ones I can do are making it stronger.

As Rhona always says, "listen to your body". Although I am not watching my diet as closely and don't always drink my 8 glasses of water, I am maintaining my weight loss and find I don't crave the bad carbs the way I used to. I feel great. Your hard work will pay off.
Thank you, Rhona.
