I have been doing your videos for over a year and a half and I LOVE IT! 85lbs down and counting❤🎉 THANK YOU SO MUCH for inspiring me to be healthier. Congratulations on the baby😊!!!
Just finished this workout ....im so proud of myself, im 1yr postpartum and been saying im going to start and finally today i started and so proud of myself - starting at 128kgs and my goal is 100kg by end of December....please pray for me❤
Your videos help me so much with my anxiety attacks. I have cardio phobia, basically a big fear of issues with my heart even though I don’t have any. This leads to constant anxiety and antic attacks. It got to the point where I didn’t work out, because I was scared I’d have a heart attack. One day I told myself, I have to do it. Because if I don’t get active, I can get unhealthy, and create my own fate. I was terrified, started off slow with your chair workouts, but I did it. And Now, whenever an attack is creeping up that makes me feel like something is wrong with my heart, I do your workouts, and it reminds me that I CAN be active, I AM okay. I always feel great afterwards. And now I’m incorporating physical activity more in my life. Thank you so much!!
@@donnalebron5882Hi Donna, this used to happen to me and I actually went to a cardiologist and everything came back normal. I still was scared but eventually stop worrying and now I have not had a heart flutter in a very long time. It’s all in the mind. I also have been praying and allowing the Lord to carry those burdens. I am praying for you as well! 🙏🏽
I’m a newbie and I just want thank you for being my virtual trainer. Your workouts make me feel challenged and also confident. I’m so glad to be on this journey. Today I’m 220lbs. I’ll check back in a month from now.
You can do it! Most important thing for me is being able to laugh at myself. That makes every workout fun. Even when I can barely lift my leg one more time. 😂
What I've realized is that doing these workouts is that it helps boost my mood so when I workout now I'm not focused on weight loss so much as I have in the past
Yes!! Like I find myself having a little dance party, thinking more over consistency, pushing myself saying I can do so much more, and that happy mood boost!! We got this 💪🏻
I have gained 30 pounds after letting go of myself from being depressed and stressed out due to work and other issues happening in my life. I’m 180 pounds currently and I’m aiming to be back at 150. I can’t wait from a month now from consistency how much weight I’ll loss. I’ll be sure to update this a month from now!
Hello, stranger ) my name is Kate. I read your comment and just wanted to say, that I feel you and support you on this journey! I hope you have your two weeks accomplishments, and keep showing up even when it’s not perfect.
I'm 2 year post baby and I have over endulged gained about 40ish pounds after baby and need to get back on track end of year goal is 175 but mainly learn healthy eating habits and move my body a lot more!!! Starting 207 let's motivate one another!!!
I haven't been doing your workouts for long (off and on a few months ago and weekly now the last month), but I wanted to say how wonderful it is to see all of these women in this community encouraging each other. Most social media platforms are not this way, but this community is and I'm very happy about that!
I started at 341 Ibs. My doctor recommended gastric bypass surgery, but I want to prove that I can do it on my own. It will be a slow and difficult process, but I will succeed. I am eating healthy and clean, maintaining a calorie deficit, and trying to follow a protein-rich diet. Now, I have started following Grow With Jo's videos. I don't want to exercise outside. I hope I can make it. Wish me luck because I need it♥️
So glad to see your smiling face Jo! I'm a stress eater and have gained 20lbs of the 60 i lost. I'm ready to get back at it with you and the GWJ family! 💝
This video just gave me an idea: It would be really cool if you did a series of exercices for Work from home breaks. 5-10 minutes tops, no equipment, not too much sweat, lots of movement or strech. Thank you so much for your work! :)
Thank u Jo, I know it's not enough to thank u but accept it plase! My life changed the day I found u occasionally on RUclips, since that day I start loving working out. Now it's been 9 months working out without stopping, I thought it was impossible but u made it possible ❤❤❤
I’m 8 months postpartum and I finally have the courage to start all over again. And here we areee.. you inspire and motivate big time. Feels so good to have you back with a real mom body. Lots and lots of love to youuu! 💜
Just did this workout after being out the game for months. And completely not being consistent for over 8 yrs. I was once a fitness coach for a very well know online fitness organization. Life happened and I but myself on the back burner and gained 80lbs, I try to search for online videos and I've been to the gym, but again nothing gives the satisfaction of accomplishment like doing Jo's workouts. However 20mins and I'm drenched and endorphins are going crazy. A light in me and been ignited by Jo and seeing her in her natural postpartum stage and starting all over. She is 💯 real. Xoxoox ❤
Awesome!! That’s really motivating and I’m glad we have this really nice community i’m so proud of us, keep it going we’re all here for you and each other!
Goal: do this workout for a year (like to remind me!) Day 1:✅ loved it! Day2:❎ I went to Tennessee but wasn’t sore! Day 3:❎ Still in Tennessee! Day 4: ✅Was able to!
You are back!!! ❤❤❤ I just started my 6. months of training with you every day! I am forever greatful for youtube algoritm for suggesting me one of your videos back in July. I will do this new video tonight💪💪💪
I am so excited, wirh an ankle injury I can't jump, so this is perfect! Thank you, love...am in for a 1 month every day...the music your encouragement all feels perfect. Thank you dearly.❤
This intro has me in tears in the best way possible. ❤ I have been doing growwithjo workouts since may 2022 and started working on what I was eating 4 months ago. I was feeling not dedicated and could feel the seasonal depression starting back in. I decided to look to see what short video would be fun to do on my lunch break. This one sounds perfect. Thanks Jo. ❤🎉🎉 and welcome back. ❤
I am so happy you are back!!! I love your videos. I have lost 30 pounds with your videos. I started being consistent since April 2023. Thank you for always bringing that joy on every workout you do. ❤
5 months postpartum after a emergency section. Finally feel ready to start taking ownership of my own body again and as a totally beginner I’m so grateful I found your page 🫶🏻 starting 2024 off with a commitment to myself✨
I am a beginner again and my plan is to keep at this 10mins for two weeks. I used to be 40mins walking workout pro and now I’m just afraid to go there at once, what I noticed is that it’s not as hard to start as I started the previous time. I’m already two days down and I can imagine doing 40mins walking workouts. So what I’m trying to say is that don’t wait just Cz you fall out of habit. It’s still there, start and you’ll see. ❤
I’ve been following you for some years now and the pandemic is when I lost 40lbs and my son lost 85! He was 17 at the time. We would workout together before he started doing his own thing and joined a gym. He hasn’t skipped a beat but I have fallen off and lost all progress at this point. It’s been about 6 months. Today I am back and seeing this video feels like the universe is saying welcome back! Congrats on your growing family!
It's been 4 months since i left working out and today was my 1st day after this long no workout break... I am sooo glad I was able to restart my work out today.... this felt so good... thank you Jo for this beautiful energetic workout ❤❤❤❤
I did Jo workout for a year everyday and lost alot of weight. But the best part was when I got pregnant without any intervention after being told I won't be able. Now I am 5 months postpartum and I am ready to lose this baby weight. I have been waiting on these vidoes to resume my workouts. You are the best and I absolutely love your gospel workouts whenever I'm not feeling like working out I choose a gospel workout and that alway does the trick...❤
I am at my largest at 200 pounds. I tried other workouts on other youtube channels but they tend to be too hard for me due to me being too heavy to hold myself up. This was perfect and easy for me to do, I got through the whole thing and did not stop once. Keep it up, I will be following along. Thank you.
I’ve been going through some tough times and have gained a lot of weight in a very short time, I went from super fit to “out of breath just walking”. Now that i’m better I came straight to your channel, I knew your gentle approach would be just what I needed. Thank you! ❤
I have struggled with my weight since I had my daughters 5yrs ago and my health has taken a down turn since then - Afib, HBP, nerve pain, depression, you name it. My cardiologist has told me that my heart would improve if I lose even 20lbs. After making a resolution to workout daily, I was so happy to see your new video on my timeline. I did your workout and I almost passed out😅but I finished it. When I tell you this 10min work is one of the best things I have done for myself in a long time. I am so grateful for the opportunity to be on this journey with you. It took only 5yrs and health issues, I am grateful nonetheless. I weigh 239lbs now and will post progress updates with time.
This was just what I need to see this morning. I’m coming back after a broken wrist injury. I finally got my cast off and wanted to get moving in a gentle way again. Thank you!
Thank you, Jo! I used to be way more active but life events and depression knocked that down significantly. These videos have been helping my mood and energy level lift so much lately. I've only done a few so far, but you make them fun and that makes me want to do them more! Your sunny demeanor really brightens my day! Thanks again sincerely. 💖😊
I have done your videos for well over a year & lost the pounds I wanted to. I just couldn’t get rid of my mommy pooch! Discovering my DR explained everything and now that I know how to properly activate my core and work those underused muscles, I’m hopeful I can continue my success! You are such an inspiration Jo. I tell all my friends and family about you!!!
I moved to another country four months ago and currently facing lots of challenge which made me stopped working out. But today i decided to start all over and i just finished this workout and i will show-up for my self tomorrow and the next tomorrow and the next tomorrow and every other day. I feel so relieved. Thank you so much Jo. This is a stress reliever for me
This will be my third time going on to lose 100+ lbs, and I am so excited to have these videos to guide me! I always gain the weight back because I always hit a boring slump! I start first thing tomorrow morning with this video. Pray for me!
Thankyou Jo, I don't know how to say thank you. I started working out 45 days after the delivery. I am doing workouts 4-5 times a week, 30 minutes a day. Today is my 6th month post partum, I already lose 30+ pounds of weight and still counting. Watching your videos, I can easily get rid of the negative thoughts about my body
Did this together with two of your other shorter videos. Thank you so much for these, they help so so so much. The difference between you and many others I've seen is that you visibly struggle also and I LOVE THAT! Still always with a smile on your face. I love following your workouts so much.
This came at the perfect time! I had fallen out of my routine since moving into my new home and everything that entails, plus I have gained back 30 pounds as a result of work stress and poor habits making a comeback. I had missed doing Jo's workouts, but since I'm so out of practice everything seemed intimidating. Thank you for this series!
I did it! Finally came back here after a long period of winter depression and I am damn proud that I finally managed to get over it. Thank you for your amazing videos, every single time you make me smile and feel absolutely amazing!
as a vasculitis patient, who flares up with high intensity movement, such workouts help me a lot and i do my thing and make my body move! from bed rests to low intensity movement- i am giving myself next 5 months, lez goo jo!! ❤🔥❤🔥
I am a busy 40 year old mother of 2. I weigh 187lbs and I am stuck in a rut. I know I need to concentrate on my diet, water intake and good quality sleep but the fitness and daily dedication is what I am missing. These videos that I have just seen of yours inspire me to do one of your videos every day. I love the way you have a timer ticking down at the bottom of the screen and one ticking to show how long each exercise will last for. It really helps keep me positive and motivated. This is my first day. I am excited to see where my body is at in a month ❤❤
PRAISE the LORD Saviour JESUS CHRIST, Sister Jo. I m Mrs NaliniVamsi.I ,my husband are lead by our LORD,to see your channel, we are being benefitted. We thank our GOD, thank you Sister. This new easy weight loss in 10 minutes is also very useful.GOD bless you, your family,child
I am 6 months postpartum and 181 pounds. I have really struggled to find the motivation and the best strategy to work out with my little one. I am so excited I found this page! I'm excited to begin the journey of loving and taking care of my body again. My prayer is that I can build healthy habits that my son can also learn and implement into his life as he grows.
I'm a seasoned newbie and haven't been on top of my game in a while. Started my first workout in a while and I am so glad I chose this video. I'm sweating but not winded and feel encouraged to get into it. Thanks Jo. Love from South Africa.
I showed up.everyday, did the workouts and I felt so good! Today is Friday, and Fridays are a very hectic day for me because of long working hours to shut down the office for the weekend. I didn't feel good (mentally) abd didn't want to do anything before I walk into work. I saw this video, saw that it was only 10 minutes, and gave it a try! Nit my usual 45+ mins with you, but I really didn't want to do anything and I think this is better than nothing! For all you beautiful people on this journey, every minute counts! Love you all ❤
I love your workouts so much Jo! You helped me build a lifestyle of working out and helped me realize working out can and should be enjoyable. I would love to see you build a playlist for those of us that have been following you for a while and are ready for something more advanced, and not just “beginner friendly”. Keep up the amazing work!
Thank you!!! I have a 4,3&2 year old so life is constant. I decided that today I was going to commit sometime to myself and put me in the line up. I had my littles at the table doing slime and play dough within arms reach and I did this work out.. I am so grateful for you and what you did for me todsy❤
I’m back! After losing 33 pounds doing keto I’m excited to see more change! Going into balanced low carb meals I want to incorporate working out as well I want to change my life and be a healthier person mindful of my temple thank you Jo for this it helped me get started!
I am just getting back into fitness. I am so grateful for my daughter. She found your workouts for me.🎉. She is my accountability partner during this journey. Thanks again for all of your videos I truly appreciate you always giving encouragement.
Thank you, Jo! I'm doing your workouts for 3 years with different consistency, but almost every day for the last half a year. Thank you! You were a saver for me when the war started in Ukraine and when I was going through a breakup. Your workout is truly about loving your body and giving it the best possible ❤️
I've been on the growithjo journey for 2 weeks now & I've lost 3 kgs 🎉 I have 2 little ones & these workouts are great 🙌 My two year old even gets involved 😂
I am 6 months post Parton of twin boys 💙 I did this work out while cooking tonight ! Absolutely love it and looking forward to this new me and new journey! I’m so blessed to have found this channel 🫶🏻
This is also my first workout since August 10th, I was run over by a car while sitting at a stop sign on my motorcycle. Had every ligament in my knee torn out and am now getting back on my feet with cadaver ligaments. Slow and steady will win this race! Congrats on your baby. You look amazing.
Thank you, Jo. I'm finally ready to get back to dieting and working out and this is a great way to start boosting up a routine. Can't wait for the morning to embark on a workout journey with you.
Jo I’ve been on and off and I just want to say how wonderful it is when I come back your words are always so kind so welcoming I feel no guilt for however long it’s been or the binge eating. Your presence is so kind and gentle that I love coming back. I don’t fear the workout or the time it’s just fun. I love it so much. Thank you for being on the interwebs ❤
Oh my god,i never felt so refreshing before,only 10 minutes and my sweats has been running down on my whole body,i will keep my spirit for achieve my goal this year❤️❤️
Today is Day 1 :) I am 220 lbs ! I will come back to this comment for updates to help keep me accountable. I am in one of the best chapters of my life and I am making my health and overall well being physically and mentally a priority !!
Hi Jo! I'm back at it again. I've decided to start over again with my fitness regimen. I'm trying to be consistent. There's no reason I don't have at least ten minutes a day to take care of my health! So I'm not going to beat myself up for being so out of shape, having to modify some exercises, or not being able to do some things. The fact is, a body that's moving is more beneficial than one that isn't. Your smile and encouragement is so helpful as you go through the workout. When I wanted to give up, you gave a thumbs up and it helped me keep going. It's hard sometimes going to work out in social settings for me because I can often be very anxious. Having you cheer me on at home is just what I need for now. I'm sharing my story, to encourage and help someone else because I do sometimes feel like I'm alone and not supported. Thank you for all you do! 💗
I've been doing your videos since May 2023, took a break of almost three weeks now due took aches but am better and happy now. Am happy to be back to doing your videos, this video is a great motivation for me. Thank you for inspiring me always 🙏💪❤️
Jo whats Eminem say in one of his songs...? "IT FEELS SO GOOD TO BE BACKKKK!" ABSOLUTLEY MISSED YOUR FACE GIRL, AND THIS WORKOUT GAVE ME A SWEAT! I ONLY GOT 15LBS TO LOSE NOT 60 LIKE LAST TIME. 2 1/2 MONTHS IN ANS I ALREADY SEE A DIFFRENCE. STAY CONSISTANT LADIES, I LOST 60LBS WITH JO!
I just had a baby 3 months agai.. c-section and a year again before I got pregnant I was doing your workouts everyday for 3 months. But then I got lazy cause I was pregnant. Now here I am today! Dec. 11, 2023 I’m starting over. It was a sign that you posted this video. Thank you love ❤
Jo - thank you for keeping this community free and available. I’m back from a solid 10 months of very little activity and honestly couldn’t do it with as much gumption as you but I’m here. I’m back. Slowly but surely I’ll get there.
I am a 69-year-old mother of 12, a grandmother of 20, and a great-grandmother of 4. I am still quite active as I can run and play with my grands, and throw in an occasional cartwheel! Every day of the week, I teach online so this workout is perfect for me because I do it at 4:00 in the morning before my classes which teach for 4 or 5 hours, and then I do it again before my next class which is an hour later, then I do it again in the evening. It's just enough to "get me going" and not get me sweaty. As you always say, consistency is the key, so thank you for this workout.
It’s 10PM and I’m planning to start back my weightloss journey tomorrow 🙂↕️coming back here tomorrow to keep you updated (I plan to do this for a week to get used to being active again before switching to another workout) 🙌
so happy to see you!!!! jo you have CHANGED my life with these videos!! ive lost 60lbs when i started your videos in february 2023 when i hit a plateau! ive lost a total of 115lbs!
today was my first day doing one of ur workouts! i am recovering from a binge eating disorder in which i gained 50 lbs, so i'm excited and ready to get back to a healthier me! i appreciate the encouraging beginner friendly workouts :)
Love me some Jo! Since being laid off, I have some days where I’m energized and knockout two 45 min. workouts and others where stress and worry take over and it takes everything in me to get up and move. This 10 min. exercise did the trick and I’m proud of myself for this small but mighty accomplishment. Keep pushing! 🙌🏾💕
I took a break from your videos during my last year of college. Your videos were always what I would do for workouts in the summer. I am a teacher now and want to get back into working because of the stress relief. I am so glad I started back again today! I can’t wait to join this journey with you AGAIN!!

I’m having difficulty in conceiving due to my weight and Hypothyroidism. I’m 198lbs currently. Starting my journey with this video of yours Jo so that I can achieve my goal of shedding that extra weight and have a baby❤ Congratulations to you on your lil girl🎉
I'm back at it after a month of no workout. I have been doing Jo's workouts for 2 years now. Have not been consistent but I have seen amazing results to the end of last year. So I am determined to stay consistent this year and see more amazing results!! Congratulations on your baby girl Jo 😊❤
I’m 7 weeks postpartum and I’m finally feeling comfortable enough, after my c-section, to start working out again. This was a great way to slowly get started, but also a good way to get those muscles moving again. Appreciate you Jo!
It's so inspiring to start all over along with you! I'm back at it after eight months of doing nothing and I'm glad to be there again Good luck everyone!!
Hey Jo, I am back at it after a break. I had Covid and it was kicking my butt this go around. I was on track and got sick, but with your encouragement as well as my husband and family I am back at it again!! Thank you as always and may the Lord bless you
Today is day one, my first day working out. I have been doing research and people recommended your videos I just finished this one and I am sweating, and feel really good! You’re not too fast and you don’t make me feel like giving up. There was a moment when I was going too fast and I looked over at my tv and you were saying slow down like if you were in the room with me. Thank you I will be watching your videos during my journey
Thank you so much. I'm so happy for you and your family and your new little addition. Since then I stepped away from your workouts. I lost my mom, so it's my first holiday without my mom. And when I saw you come back after the baby. I was so excited to get started again. I injured my knee on Thanksgiving Day. I may need surgery, but in the meantime. I can wear my brace. Take my Anti-inflammatory for my knee and continue to do you. On a lighter scale, this was the best come back ever. I miss you so much. And I am always happy to donate to you. Peace and blessings, and thank you so much. Jo from a 57 year old woman who loves loves loves you for keeping us healthy and not giving up on us. PS I was doing pretty OK but I went from 155 to 165 I could really use some of those great eating habit developments again from you. Great options and learning how to prep. Also great meal ideas that keep me healthy thank you again so much
i’m finally returning back to the grow with jo videos, i use to sweet by them before i became pregnant. now i’m 2 months postpartum and finally getting the push to workout, what a perfect way to start!
Hi Hi!

Dont give up!!
How has it been going?:)
You have no idea how much I love this woman. We need an 11 minute standing workout but she cheered us as if we run a marathon. I love you 🫶🏼
I always find your fur baby’s presence comforting ❤😂
Your videos help me so much with my anxiety attacks. I have cardio phobia, basically a big fear of issues with my heart even though I don’t have any. This leads to constant anxiety and antic attacks. It got to the point where I didn’t work out, because I was scared I’d have a heart attack. One day I told myself, I have to do it. Because if I don’t get active, I can get unhealthy, and create my own fate. I was terrified, started off slow with your chair workouts, but I did it. And Now, whenever an attack is creeping up that makes me feel like something is wrong with my heart, I do your workouts, and it reminds me that I CAN be active, I AM okay. I always feel great afterwards. And now I’m incorporating physical activity more in my life. Thank you so much!!
@@donnalebron5882Hi Donna, this used to happen to me and I actually went to a cardiologist and everything came back normal. I still was scared but eventually stop worrying and now I have not had a heart flutter in a very long time. It’s all in the mind. I also have been praying and allowing the Lord to carry those burdens. I am praying for you as well! 🙏🏽
I’m a newbie and I just want thank you for being my virtual trainer. Your workouts make me feel challenged and also confident. I’m so glad to be on this journey. Today I’m 220lbs. I’ll check back in a month from now.
Go girl! You got this! 👍🏿
You can do it! Most important thing for me is being able to laugh at myself. That makes every workout fun. Even when I can barely lift my leg one more time. 😂
@@keralove826 Thank you.😊
@@dianemcmurry8439 Oh i get it!!!! My arms were killing me a few days ago. But you’re right. Laughter makes things so much better!!! Thank you.
You got it!! I’m doing this workout tomorrow!! Praying I can stick with it for 30 days!!
What I've realized is that doing these workouts is that it helps boost my mood so when I workout now I'm not focused on weight loss so much as I have in the past
Yes!! Like I find myself having a little dance party, thinking more over consistency, pushing myself saying I can do so much more, and that happy mood boost!! We got this 💪🏻
I agree! It helps my mental health!
@@sandradee3403 Totally agree!
Totally agree!
I have gained 30 pounds after letting go of myself from being depressed and stressed out due to work and other issues happening in my life. I’m 180 pounds currently and I’m aiming to be back at 150. I can’t wait from a month now from consistency how much weight I’ll loss. I’ll be sure to update this a month from now!
same, but at 210lb rn, we got this!
Currently going through the same things in my life, I wish you nothing but the best on your journey. We got this! 🩷
Im also at 180 and aiming to be back at 150..best of luck..I'll do my best!
Hello, stranger ) my name is Kate. I read your comment and just wanted to say, that I feel you and support you on this journey! I hope you have your two weeks accomplishments, and keep showing up even when it’s not perfect.
I'm 2 year post baby and I have over endulged gained about 40ish pounds after baby and need to get back on track end of year goal is 175 but mainly learn healthy eating habits and move my body a lot more!!! Starting 207 let's motivate one another!!!
I haven't been doing your workouts for long (off and on a few months ago and weekly now the last month), but I wanted to say how wonderful it is to see all of these women in this community encouraging each other. Most social media platforms are not this way, but this community is and I'm very happy about that!
I started at 341 Ibs. My doctor recommended gastric bypass surgery, but I want to prove that I can do it on my own. It will be a slow and difficult process, but I will succeed. I am eating healthy and clean, maintaining a calorie deficit, and trying to follow a protein-rich diet. Now, I have started following Grow With Jo's videos. I don't want to exercise outside. I hope I can make it. Wish me luck because I need it♥️
Good luck dear ❤
So glad to see your smiling face Jo! I'm a stress eater and have gained 20lbs of the 60 i lost. I'm ready to get back at it with you and the GWJ family! 💝
You got this❤
I'm going through the same. We got this!
This video just gave me an idea: It would be really cool if you did a series of exercices for Work from home breaks. 5-10 minutes tops, no equipment, not too much sweat, lots of movement or strech. Thank you so much for your work! :)
Thank u Jo, I know it's not enough to thank u but accept it plase!
My life changed the day I found u occasionally on RUclips, since that day I start loving working out. Now it's been 9 months working out without stopping, I thought it was impossible but u made it possible ❤❤❤
I’m 8 months postpartum and I finally have the courage to start all over again. And here we areee.. you inspire and motivate big time. Feels so good to have you back with a real mom body. Lots and lots of love to youuu! 💜
I’m an over weight child and I’m trying to get in shape before school so I will be doing your workouts ALOTTT
same for me! this is my first time doing her workouts and I defo feel the burn. also we can do this!!
Ofcourse you guys can do it! Hard work always pays off.
Me too!! But school starts in a week and I don’t think I’ll be in shape…
@@SurfingSunsets_47start now and you'll be laughing by next summer. Nothing in life comes quick and easy but you can do it!
So proud of all of you. You are doing what I should have been doing at your age. Don’t give up ❤❤❤
Just did this workout after being out the game for months. And completely not being consistent for over 8 yrs.
I was once a fitness coach for a very well know online fitness organization. Life happened and I but myself on the back burner and gained 80lbs, I try to search for online videos and I've been to the gym, but again nothing gives the satisfaction of accomplishment like doing Jo's workouts.
However 20mins and I'm drenched and endorphins are going crazy. A light in me and been ignited by Jo and seeing her in her natural postpartum stage and starting all over. She is 💯 real. Xoxoox ❤
We did it!! I am 300 plus, and this was difficult but rewarding ❤ thank you jo
That’s so awesome! Well done! Comments like this gave me the motivation to give it a go too!
so proud of you! ik it’s very difficult to start doing this and i completely understand.💗🙌🏽🎉
Awesomeness 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼❤️
Awesome!! That’s really motivating and I’m glad we have this really nice community i’m so proud of us, keep it going we’re all here for you and each other!
Well done!!!! Keep going!!!!
Goal: do this workout for a year
(like to remind me!)
Day 1:✅ loved it!
Day2:❎ I went to Tennessee but wasn’t sore!
Day 3:❎ Still in Tennessee!
Day 4: ✅Was able to!
Dont give up!
You are back!!! ❤❤❤ I just started my 6. months of training with you every day! I am forever greatful for youtube algoritm for suggesting me one of your videos back in July. I will do this new video tonight💪💪💪
This workout is good for a quick min exercise .
I am so excited, wirh an ankle injury I can't jump, so this is perfect! Thank you, love...am in for a 1 month every day...the music your encouragement all feels perfect. Thank you dearly.❤
This intro has me in tears in the best way possible. ❤ I have been doing growwithjo workouts since may 2022 and started working on what I was eating 4 months ago. I was feeling not dedicated and could feel the seasonal depression starting back in. I decided to look to see what short video would be fun to do on my lunch break. This one sounds perfect. Thanks Jo. ❤🎉🎉 and welcome back. ❤
me too and i feel u too... lets do this together love!
I am so happy you are back!!! I love your videos. I have lost 30 pounds with your videos. I started being consistent since April 2023. Thank you for always bringing that joy on every workout you do. ❤
Hii you only make one video a day or several?
5 months postpartum after a emergency section. Finally feel ready to start taking ownership of my own body again and as a totally beginner I’m so grateful I found your page 🫶🏻 starting 2024 off with a commitment to myself✨
You got this !!! We got this 💪
I am a beginner again and my plan is to keep at this 10mins for two weeks. I used to be 40mins walking workout pro and now I’m just afraid to go there at once, what I noticed is that it’s not as hard to start as I started the previous time. I’m already two days down and I can imagine doing 40mins walking workouts. So what I’m trying to say is that don’t wait just Cz you fall out of habit. It’s still there, start and you’ll see. ❤
Me too! I did full 2 mile walking and jogging. That's a good plan!
I’ve been following you for some years now and the pandemic is when I lost 40lbs and my son lost 85! He was 17 at the time. We would workout together before he started doing his own thing and joined a gym. He hasn’t skipped a beat but I have fallen off and lost all progress at this point. It’s been about 6 months. Today I am back and seeing this video feels like the universe is saying welcome back! Congrats on your growing family!
It's been 4 months since i left working out and today was my 1st day after this long no workout break... I am sooo glad I was able to restart my work out today.... this felt so good... thank you Jo for this beautiful energetic workout ❤❤❤❤
I just had my 3 daughter 14 months ago and my motivation is you beginner short workouts that won't have me overwhelmed
Not being overwhelmed is huge for me too!
I did Jo workout for a year everyday and lost alot of weight. But the best part was when I got pregnant without any intervention after being told I won't be able. Now I am 5 months postpartum and I am ready to lose this baby weight. I have been waiting on these vidoes to resume my workouts. You are the best and I absolutely love your gospel workouts whenever I'm not feeling like working out I choose a gospel workout and that alway does the trick...❤
I am at my largest at 200 pounds. I tried other workouts on other youtube channels but they tend to be too hard for me due to me being too heavy to hold myself up. This was perfect and easy for me to do, I got through the whole thing and did not stop once. Keep it up, I will be following along. Thank you.
I’ve been going through some tough times and have gained a lot of weight in a very short time, I went from super fit to “out of breath just walking”.
Now that i’m better I came straight to your channel, I knew your gentle approach would be just what I needed. Thank you! ❤
I have struggled with my weight since I had my daughters 5yrs ago and my health has taken a down turn since then - Afib, HBP, nerve pain, depression, you name it. My cardiologist has told me that my heart would improve if I lose even 20lbs. After making a resolution to workout daily, I was so happy to see your new video on my timeline. I did your workout and I almost passed out😅but I finished it. When I tell you this 10min work is one of the best things I have done for myself in a long time. I am so grateful for the opportunity to be on this journey with you. It took only 5yrs and health issues, I am grateful nonetheless. I weigh 239lbs now and will post progress updates with time.
Heyyy keep posting your progress 💗
This was just what I need to see this morning. I’m coming back after a broken wrist injury. I finally got my cast off and wanted to get moving in a gentle way again. Thank you!
Thank you, Jo! I used to be way more active but life events and depression knocked that down significantly. These videos have been helping my mood and energy level lift so much lately. I've only done a few so far, but you make them fun and that makes me want to do them more! Your sunny demeanor really brightens my day! Thanks again sincerely. 💖😊
I have done your videos for well over a year & lost the pounds I wanted to. I just couldn’t get rid of my mommy pooch! Discovering my DR explained everything and now that I know how to properly activate my core and work those underused muscles, I’m hopeful I can continue my success! You are such an inspiration Jo. I tell all my friends and family about you!!!
I moved to another country four months ago and currently facing lots of challenge which made me stopped working out. But today i decided to start all over and i just finished this workout and i will show-up for my self tomorrow and the next tomorrow and the next tomorrow and every other day. I feel so relieved. Thank you so much Jo. This is a stress reliever for me
This will be my third time going on to lose 100+ lbs, and I am so excited to have these videos to guide me! I always gain the weight back because I always hit a boring slump! I start first thing tomorrow morning with this video. Pray for me!
Just hit 3 months postpartum and just turned 31 time to make time for me again loved this I broke a nice sweat 😅 ❤️❤️
Thankyou Jo, I don't know how to say thank you. I started working out 45 days after the delivery. I am doing workouts 4-5 times a week, 30 minutes a day. Today is my 6th month post partum, I already lose 30+ pounds of weight and still counting. Watching your videos, I can easily get rid of the negative thoughts about my body
Yayyyy it’s always so nice to see you again and getting geared up for another video! Thank you Jo ! ❤🎉
Finished my 14 day workout with jo..just started this today! Iam at 180lbs..i will keep eveyone updated on my sucess.thank you jo!
Did this together with two of your other shorter videos. Thank you so much for these, they help so so so much. The difference between you and many others I've seen is that you visibly struggle also and I LOVE THAT! Still always with a smile on your face. I love following your workouts so much.
I’m 7 weeks postpartum, second day of working out to your videos again. I can’t wait to slowly get to where I want to be. I feel great so far ❤️🙏🏼
This came at the perfect time! I had fallen out of my routine since moving into my new home and everything that entails, plus I have gained back 30 pounds as a result of work stress and poor habits making a comeback. I had missed doing Jo's workouts, but since I'm so out of practice everything seemed intimidating. Thank you for this series!
I did it! Finally came back here after a long period of winter depression and I am damn proud that I finally managed to get over it. Thank you for your amazing videos, every single time you make me smile and feel absolutely amazing!
Thank you! I’ve been sick, and haven’t worked out in almost 2 weeks. I plan to resume this weekend. Thank you for this awesome community, Jo!
as a vasculitis patient, who flares up with high intensity movement, such workouts help me a lot and i do my thing and make my body move! from bed rests to low intensity movement- i am
giving myself next 5 months, lez goo jo!! ❤🔥❤🔥
Welcome Back!! 😊 Thanks for all this free content Jo! Helping make so many women’s lives better with every video. ❤️ gonna do this one tonight.
I am a busy 40 year old mother of 2. I weigh 187lbs and I am stuck in a rut.
I know I need to concentrate on my diet, water intake and good quality sleep but the fitness and daily dedication is what I am missing.
These videos that I have just seen of yours inspire me to do one of your videos every day. I love the way you have a timer ticking down at the bottom of the screen and one ticking to show how long each exercise will last for.
It really helps keep me positive and motivated.
This is my first day. I am excited to see where my body is at in a month ❤❤
PRAISE the LORD Saviour JESUS CHRIST, Sister Jo. I m Mrs NaliniVamsi.I ,my husband are lead by our LORD,to see your channel, we are being benefitted. We thank our GOD, thank you Sister. This new easy weight loss in 10 minutes is also very useful.GOD bless you, your family,child
I am 6 months postpartum and 181 pounds. I have really struggled to find the motivation and the best strategy to work out with my little one. I am so excited I found this page! I'm excited to begin the journey of loving and taking care of my body again. My prayer is that I can build healthy habits that my son can also learn and implement into his life as he grows.
I'm a seasoned newbie and haven't been on top of my game in a while. Started my first workout in a while and I am so glad I chose this video. I'm sweating but not winded and feel encouraged to get into it. Thanks Jo. Love from South Africa.
I showed up.everyday, did the workouts and I felt so good! Today is Friday, and Fridays are a very hectic day for me because of long working hours to shut down the office for the weekend. I didn't feel good (mentally) abd didn't want to do anything before I walk into work. I saw this video, saw that it was only 10 minutes, and gave it a try! Nit my usual 45+ mins with you, but I really didn't want to do anything and I think this is better than nothing! For all you beautiful people on this journey, every minute counts! Love you all ❤
I love your workouts so much Jo! You helped me build a lifestyle of working out and helped me realize working out can and should be enjoyable. I would love to see you build a playlist for those of us that have been following you for a while and are ready for something more advanced, and not just “beginner friendly”. Keep up the amazing work!
Thank you!!! I have a 4,3&2 year old so life is constant. I decided that today I was going to commit sometime to myself and put me in the line up. I had my littles at the table doing slime and play dough within arms reach and I did this work out.. I am so grateful for you and what you did for me todsy❤
I’m 8 weeks postpartum, and this is my first workout since I had my baby. I’m ready to begin again.
I’m back! After losing 33 pounds doing keto I’m excited to see more change! Going into balanced low carb meals I want to incorporate working out as well I want to change my life and be a healthier person mindful of my temple thank you Jo for this it helped me get started!
Congratulations 🎉
I haven’t found a cozier yet effective routine. Restarting my fitness journey with you ♥️
I am just getting back into fitness. I am so grateful for my daughter. She found your workouts for me.🎉. She is my accountability partner during this journey. Thanks again for all of your videos I truly appreciate you always giving encouragement.
Trying to be more consistent. Your workouts definitely help! Thanks for all you do!!
Thank you, Jo! I'm doing your workouts for 3 years with different consistency, but almost every day for the last half a year. Thank you! You were a saver for me when the war started in Ukraine and when I was going through a breakup. Your workout is truly about loving your body and giving it the best possible ❤️
I've been on the growithjo journey for 2 weeks now & I've lost 3 kgs 🎉
I have 2 little ones & these workouts are great 🙌
My two year old even gets involved 😂
I am 6 months post Parton of twin boys 💙 I did this work out while cooking tonight ! Absolutely love it and looking forward to this new me and new journey! I’m so blessed to have found this channel 🫶🏻
Wow, Jo! Your come-back energy is infectious! ❤🎉
This is also my first workout since August 10th, I was run over by a car while sitting at a stop sign on my motorcycle. Had every ligament in my knee torn out and am now getting back on my feet with cadaver ligaments. Slow and steady will win this race! Congrats on your baby. You look amazing.
Thank you, Jo. I'm finally ready to get back to dieting and working out and this is a great way to start boosting up a routine. Can't wait for the morning to embark on a workout journey with you.
Jo I’ve been on and off and I just want to say how wonderful it is when I come back your words are always so kind so welcoming I feel no guilt for however long it’s been or the binge eating. Your presence is so kind and gentle that I love coming back. I don’t fear the workout or the time it’s just fun. I love it so much. Thank you for being on the interwebs ❤
1:15 - start 😊
@@Meg1tr thank you 💜
Oh my god,i never felt so refreshing before,only 10 minutes and my sweats has been running down on my whole body,i will keep my spirit for achieve my goal this year❤️❤️
Today is Day 1 :) I am 220 lbs ! I will come back to this comment for updates to help keep me accountable. I am in one of the best chapters of my life and I am making my health and overall well being physically and mentally a priority !!
Have you done your exercise today bestie?
How you doing?
Hi Jo! I'm back at it again. I've decided to start over again with my fitness regimen. I'm trying to be consistent. There's no reason I don't have at least ten minutes a day to take care of my health! So I'm not going to beat myself up for being so out of shape, having to modify some exercises, or not being able to do some things. The fact is, a body that's moving is more beneficial than one that isn't. Your smile and encouragement is so helpful as you go through the workout. When I wanted to give up, you gave a thumbs up and it helped me keep going. It's hard sometimes going to work out in social settings for me because I can often be very anxious. Having you cheer me on at home is just what I need for now. I'm sharing my story, to encourage and help someone else because I do sometimes feel like I'm alone and not supported. Thank you for all you do! 💗
I am 170 pounds aiming to be 150 pounds best of luck to you all
Updating everyday
1st day ...feeling great ❤
I've been doing your videos since May 2023, took a break of almost three weeks now due took aches but am better and happy now. Am happy to be back to doing your videos, this video is a great motivation for me. Thank you for inspiring me always 🙏💪❤️
Jo whats Eminem say in one of his songs...? "IT FEELS SO GOOD TO BE BACKKKK!" ABSOLUTLEY MISSED YOUR FACE GIRL, AND THIS WORKOUT GAVE ME A SWEAT! I ONLY GOT 15LBS TO LOSE NOT 60 LIKE LAST TIME. 2 1/2 MONTHS IN ANS I ALREADY SEE A DIFFRENCE. STAY CONSISTANT LADIES, I LOST 60LBS WITH JO!
I just had a baby 3 months agai.. c-section and a year again before I got pregnant I was doing your workouts everyday for 3 months. But then I got lazy cause I was pregnant. Now here I am today! Dec. 11, 2023 I’m starting over. It was a sign that you posted this video. Thank you love ❤
I will be consistency from this day, 6th October 2024
Jo - thank you for keeping this community free and available. I’m back from a solid 10 months of very little activity and honestly couldn’t do it with as much gumption as you but I’m here. I’m back. Slowly but surely I’ll get there.
I am a 69-year-old mother of 12, a grandmother of 20, and a great-grandmother of 4. I am still quite active as I can run and play with my grands, and throw in an occasional cartwheel! Every day of the week, I teach online so this workout is perfect for me because I do it at 4:00 in the morning before my classes which teach for 4 or 5 hours, and then I do it again before my next class which is an hour later, then I do it again in the evening. It's just enough to "get me going" and not get me sweaty. As you always say, consistency is the key, so thank you for this workout.
It’s 10PM and I’m planning to start back my weightloss journey tomorrow 🙂↕️coming back here tomorrow to keep you updated (I plan to do this for a week to get used to being active again before switching to another workout) 🙌
Love this for a beginner workout! I loved that the moves changed quickly. I get bored and want to stop when moves drag on, so this was super helpful!
so happy to see you!!!! jo you have CHANGED my life with these videos!! ive lost 60lbs when i started your videos in february 2023 when i hit a plateau! ive lost a total of 115lbs!
today was my first day doing one of ur workouts! i am recovering from a binge eating disorder in which i gained 50 lbs, so i'm excited and ready to get back to a healthier me! i appreciate the encouraging beginner friendly workouts :)
Love me some Jo! Since being laid off, I have some days where I’m energized and knockout two 45 min. workouts and others where stress and worry take over and it takes everything in me to get up and move. This 10 min. exercise did the trick and I’m proud of myself for this small but mighty accomplishment. Keep pushing! 🙌🏾💕
I took a break from your videos during my last year of college. Your videos were always what I would do for workouts in the summer. I am a teacher now and want to get back into working because of the stress relief. I am so glad I started back again today! I can’t wait to join this journey with you AGAIN!!
This work out was lifeeee.. I’ve been doing your workouts for almost 2 weeks now. At 3:45 it’s been amazing
First day back at it since having surgery 5 weeks ago. I feel good after doing this workout. Thank you Jo 💕

Congratulations to you on your lil girl🎉
i am a beginner though..20 years old been losing weight found this workout really worth it !thankyou
I'm back at it after a month of no workout. I have been doing Jo's workouts for 2 years now. Have not been consistent but I have seen amazing results to the end of last year. So I am determined to stay consistent this year and see more amazing results!! Congratulations on your baby girl Jo 😊❤
I’m 7 weeks postpartum and I’m finally feeling comfortable enough, after my c-section, to start working out again. This was a great way to slowly get started, but also a good way to get those muscles moving again. Appreciate you Jo!
It's so inspiring to start all over along with you! I'm back at it after eight months of doing nothing and I'm glad to be there again
Good luck everyone!!
Hey Jo,
I am back at it after a break. I had Covid and it was kicking my butt this go around. I was on track and got sick, but with your encouragement as well as my husband and family I am back at it again!!
Thank you as always and may the Lord bless you
Today is day one, my first day working out. I have been doing research and people recommended your videos I just finished this one and I am sweating, and feel really good! You’re not too fast and you don’t make me feel like giving up. There was a moment when I was going too fast and I looked over at my tv and you were saying slow down like if you were in the room with me. Thank you I will be watching your videos during my journey
Thank you so much. I'm so happy for you and your family and your new little addition. Since then I stepped away from your workouts. I lost my mom, so it's my first holiday without my mom. And when I saw you come back after the baby. I was so excited to get started again. I injured my knee on Thanksgiving Day. I may need surgery, but in the meantime. I can wear my brace. Take my Anti-inflammatory for my knee and continue to do you. On a lighter scale, this was the best come back ever. I miss you so much. And I am always happy to donate to you. Peace and blessings, and thank you so much. Jo from a 57 year old woman who loves loves loves you for keeping us healthy and not giving up on us. PS I was doing pretty OK but I went from 155 to 165 I could really use some of those great eating habit developments again from you. Great options and learning how to prep. Also great meal ideas that keep me healthy thank you again so much
I’m so sorry for your loss 😢. I loss my mom this year as well and my first thanksgiving w/o her.
i’m finally returning back to the grow with jo videos, i use to sweet by them before i became pregnant. now i’m 2 months postpartum and finally getting the push to workout, what a perfect way to start!
Hi Hi! I am a new mom of a 3 week old baby and getting back into shape has been daunting but honestly I look forward to your workouts because out of every other RUclipsr you are currently on the same journey as me - postpartum - so I trust your workouts! I can imagine uploading videos isn't easy during this stage but know your channel is so encouraging for us new mamas!!! Some of us really depend on it :D! Thank you for showing up for us all
So proud of myself!! Birth really took a toll of my body and I haven't been consistent. Now at 7.5 months postpartum I feel like I'm back and ready to grow!!! Great, quick work out 🎉
I’m new here and 7 months post partum and so happy to be able to move again and actually impressed by how it went! Will continue!! Thank you!
