It's never too late to change how you think, feel, and look.

As we get older, our bodies go through a lot of changes. Most are out of our control. But for those that aren't, sometimes all we need is some guidance on how to make specific, sustainable, and successful modifications that can alter the course of how our lives go from that point forward.

This is where you can benefit from exercise and eating plans from Joan MacDonald. Just a few years ago, this septuagenarian wasn't happy with how she looked and with what she ate. With help from her daughter Michelle-a certified strength and conditioning specialist-Joan developed exercise and diet goals as well as objectives for how to change her mindset-not just how she saw herself physically but how she felt about herself mentally regardless of her physical fitness.

Train With Joan showcases these goals and objectives to help you with your own desires. Whether you want to modify what you eat, start with a better exercise routine, or gain insights on how to develop and consider different perspectives about your thought processes, this book has just what you need to make changes today, changes tomorrow, and changes for the remainder of your life-long may you live.

This isn't your typical exercise book or your standard cookbook or your tried-and-true self-help guide. Train With Joan offers fresh, exciting, and engaging ways to get more out of your life. These features include:
- 40+ exercises for stretching, strength training, cardio, post-workout, and more
- Fitness routines to help you get the most out of all the exercises
- 40+ recipes for proteins, vegetables, starches, sweets, and more
- Meal plans to help you prepare the best meals for your caloric needs
- Mindset, motivational, and aspirational guidance from Joan

Change is intimidating, but with help from Train With Joan on your journey, you'll learn what you're capable of-and how to enrich yourself no matter at what stage in life you are. Everything you need to get started-and to stay dedicated to change-is inside this book.

About the Author
Joan MacDonald (@trainwithjoan) is a 75-year-old Instagram fitness influencer who's undergone a remarkable change in the last five years. She was on medication for high blood pressure and acid reflux; she had terrible edema in her ankles; her arthritis was extremely painful; and she had difficulty walking up and down stairs. Joan knew that if she continued on an unhealthy path that it might mean more health issues and more medications-and probably force her to move into a nursing home. But with the help of her daughter, Michelle, and The Wonder Women community, Joan was able to do much more than change her journey-she was able to help others on theirs.

Michelle MacDonald (@yourhealthyhedonista) has been coaching women since 2012, beginning with athletes getting ready for competition on the natural bodybuilding stage. She also started coaching women who wanted to have a major lifestyle change, working with them in what she terms "transformation groups." These groups became so successful that Michelle couldn't keep up with the demand and created a team of coaches for a program called The Wonder Women, which focuses on women's health and fitness. Michelle's most well-known client is, of course, her mom, Joan.
