Lower Body Strength & Mobility for Women Over 40

[@joginski]

I almost cried in this workout because I am so THANKFUL that I am getting stronger and more flexible and more mobile. This is one to take on vacation. No equipment needed. Thank you, PJ.

[@FitnesswithPJ]

Wonderful! YOU are putting in the work and I'm SO happy you are seeing results 💕

[@FitnesswithPJ]

[@alyciahansen6953]

I LOVE THE REACH AND SQUAT!!!!!!! And then you upped it with the alt arm reach!!!! Wonderful!!!! I do this stretch when I’m traveling and my back starts to get tight.

[@FitnesswithPJ]

Way to go Alycia! 😃

[@jburwinkel]

This is wonderful! I don't give my hips enough attention, so this took care of that!

[@FitnesswithPJ]

So good Julie! 💕

[@jburwinkel]

This is one of the most challenging workouts for me! I love it, because challenges help me get stronger!!

[@FitnesswithPJ]

Go Julie!! 🙌

You're so welcome! 🥳

[@stephanieb333]

Loved this workout 💪. Love the fact your video's are real and raw!! Hello LH🙂👍

[@FitnesswithPJ]

I appreciate that Stephanie! Almost there now 🙌

[@jing.ocampo]

For someone who's been with you a while, it initially seemed like this workout was too easy---no weights? And on the 26th day of the 28-day challenge? But then at the end you talked about how important it is to be able to do these moves with just bodyweight. I love how you give such useful information and explain things! 😊💕 You're a fantastic teacher 💗 I love how LH made an appearance too, and how he makes you laugh! 🥰 You two are adorable together 💗 Day 26, done! 🙌

[@FitnesswithPJ]

Thank you so much Jing 💕

[@adriennekinsella7123]

Did this a day ahead on our Patreon workout calendar! I have to tell you that the deep squats and the deep side lunges have saved me from sciatica. I no longer suffer from that dreadful problem since getting back on the workout horse with PJ. Wonderful LH cameo...can he come to my house next. I've got a lot of projects!!! xo

[@FitnesswithPJ]

Great to hear Adrienne! Mobility is such an important part of our overall health!

[@lisaluciano4973]

Great way to start the day! Happy to see how far I’ve come this month! 😘❤️ Thanks PJ!

[@kerinarmstrong1426]

Loved this workout perfect as I woke with one very sore tight hip. First cool morning in Queensland Aus. Thanks LH for making me laugh.

[@FitnesswithPJ]

Hey there Kerin! So glad this one hit the spot! 🤗

[@lc224]

Thank you PJ! Targeted workouts are great.

[@FitnesswithPJ]

So glad you're loving them 😃

Hi PJ this workout was what I needed to get off travel fatigue and grumpiness.. 😂thank you! Did it barefoot!!

[@FitnesswithPJ]

Yay!!! 😁

[@carolinelegg6110]

My weak knees, from many years of playing squash, really needed this workout - slightly slower, I was able to concentrate on my mobility. Perfect!

[@FitnesswithPJ]

Wonderful Caroline!

[@TillyJK]

Amazing workout!! Great for all my (lower body) joints. Will repeat this one more often!!❤❤❤

Day 26 done! ❤

[@FitnesswithPJ]

Almost there now! 😃

[@dr.sherrispeaks]

An informative workout! TY!

[@FitnesswithPJ]

You're so welcome!

[@charleneking61]

Thanks for a great workout, I can tell my strength is improving as I was able to do the lunges much better than when we started

[@FitnesswithPJ]

Wonderful!

[@jing.ocampo]

Still L-O-V-E this workout! I did this barefoot (which I do for all strength workouts now), and found I could go deeper with the side lunges barefoot (same with the clams---I found having shoes on messed with the "footwork"). Great to see LH pop in again! 😂❤

[@FitnesswithPJ]

So great Jing! Barefoot is worth it!! 🥰

[@jennydawson1281]

I’m behind with challenge but still continuing , that was harder than i thought it would be !

[@FitnesswithPJ]

You got this Jenny! Almost there now 💗

[@Tishaharman]

Loved this mix of mobility and strength!! Can’t believe the challenge is almost finished! Can’t wait for what’s next!!!!

[@FitnesswithPJ]

So close now!

[@carmenross1077]

Nice felt loosen, though I can’t seemed to perfect that 99 stretch , have to go back to it some time. Thank you PJ for constant reminder during the exercise. Regards to your better half and your diva dogs George and Bella. Day 26 done

[@FitnesswithPJ]

Hi Carmen! Some of these drills take a little getting used to, for sure! You are Unstoppable 🙌

[@staciemberton2565]

Love this workout ❤

[@FitnesswithPJ]

🤩

[@lizf6890]

Great workout

[@FitnesswithPJ]

😃

[@bridgetbaker2809]

Day 26 done!

[@FitnesswithPJ]

✅ 🥰

[@abigailsandham]

Loved this it was just what I needed ❤

[@FitnesswithPJ]

🥳

[@justinegore-smith8997]

I need an alternative for the deep squats - my knees are just really unhappy with those! Keep up the fantastic work PJ

[@FitnesswithPJ]

Don't go as deep then :)

[@taratomory9744]

This was awesome and hard after spending 8 hours on the ski slopes yesterday.

[@FitnesswithPJ]

Oh! I bet it was!

[@carolinelegg6110]

Well my knees are no stronger but I love this workout! Really feels like you are getting into the joints.

[@FitnesswithPJ]

Great job! You got this Caroline 💕

[@michelleelizabeth299]

Day 26 done! This was kind of different, but effective. Mixing the mobility drills with the strength really allowed me to go deeper on my squats and lunges. I'm kind of amazed at how much strength and mobility I've gained in my hips and lower body in the last year or so. A year ago I wasn't able to do that 90-90 mobility drill- today I did it with ease :) Thanks PJ!

[@FitnesswithPJ]

Now that's a fantastic result 🙌

[@alyciahansen6953]

PS Loved LH cameo!!

[@FitnesswithPJ]

😆

[@rachelmcdonald5881]

Thank you PJ for a great challenge. I am really enjoying it and especially the new workouts each day. I don't know how you do it by I love it! Thank you!

[@FitnesswithPJ]

You are so welcome! I'm so proud of this challenge and of all my challengers 💕

[@ewaller1892]

Really loved this one! Made me realise I definitely have one glute a lot stronger than the other. Could this be why my lower back struggles with squats sometimes? Thanks so much PJ 😊

[@FitnesswithPJ]

Low back dysfunction could be from a lot of things, but muscle imbalance and poor firing glutes are a couple of big ones.

[@juliagulia2002]

I was surprised how I moved through the exercises with relative ease because I’m stronger than I have ever been thanks to PJ’s program. Thank you! ❤💪🏽

[@FitnesswithPJ]

Wonderful Julia! 🥰

[@ssrivastava123]

I still have tennis elbow issues, so not doing weights, this maybe a good one to do while my one arm is getting better.

[@FitnesswithPJ]

I agree! Take care of that tennis elbow - so frustrating!

[@pattycraig7170]

Oh I loved this one! The mixture of strength and mobility was spot on. And Hi LH! 😁Can't believe we're almost done!

[@FitnesswithPJ]

Glad you loved it! So close now 😃

[@jburwinkel]

Splendid workout! Who knew that not using weights would be so challenging!! Thank you!!

[@FitnesswithPJ]

Yep! 💪

[@emmamcmillan5514]

Struggled with this one, shoulder not good on shoulder clams and deep hips squats were hard, maybe I’m a bit stiff today! Onwards and upwards though, loving this challenge PJ 🎉

[@FitnesswithPJ]

Perfectly normal to have days like that!

[@flora6465]

I thought a no weights strength workout would be easy. I was wrong! Loved the range of mobility and strength exercises in this workout. PJ does it again!!

[@FitnesswithPJ]

You know me better by now Flora! 💪

[@chrisostojic4131]

Day 26! That was just what my hips needed this morning! Thanks. PJ!

[@FitnesswithPJ]

Yay!!! 🥰

[@ellenspear50]

That 90-90 drill is just so uncomfortable. I never had great turnout as a teen in ballet class, so I think my hips are naturally tight. In fact, one hip whispers that it may not last a lifetime, though I'll do my damnedest to preserve it. Thanks, PJ.

[@FitnesswithPJ]

Hey Ellen! It's great to keep your hips moving. Always with through YOUR full range of movement avoiding pain! 😃

[@amymartin-cole3843]

Day 26. This was pretty tough. I powered through the moves. Absolutely have loved this 28 day challenge

[@FitnesswithPJ]

Great job! 🙌

[@jenniferantonini6785]

I absolutely loved this one!!! Some new things!!! Thank you!!!

[@FitnesswithPJ]

Powerhouse Jennifer! Almost done ✅

[@jeannieneathery2324]

This was the first workout I have been able to get my knee to ground doing lunges!! So happy to feel that additional flexibility and strength. Thanks PJ!!

[@FitnesswithPJ]

How great is that Jeannie! 🙌

[@orang234]

This is amazing I've seen a vast improvement in my mobility and flexibility. My hips and ankle have been so tight of recent, I've found that I can sit crossed leg during the workouts again and also sit back on my heels. Thank you so much PJ😁

[@FitnesswithPJ]

Great result 🙌 Go YOU!

[@valeriegoldberg6917]

Day 26 done. I am 2 days behind but I am determined to finish this challenge. This was great PJ, you have boundless energy.

[@FitnesswithPJ]

So close now! Go Valerie! 🙌

[@stiofaininnichlerigh8168]

Omg this was tough where's my hips 😆😂 and my legs lol 😆😂 I honestly thought the 90/90 and kneel no problem lol 😂😆😂 was I wrong I'm stif as an ox 😂😆😆😂 I had to put my hands down to get up on my knees a few times I was like what the heck........lol Seriously need more mobility drills like this omg lol 😂😆😂😂 all that work and my mobility is terrible Anyway.....HEY LH when you going to grace us with your presence and do a workout........why not for the craic (fun of it) lol 😂😆😆😂 Thank you PJ as always LEGEND Steph 🇮🇪

[@FitnesswithPJ]

Love it Steph! You got this 😃

[@margaretflynn1288]

I definitely felt stronger on one side than the other of my body while doing some of these moves. I wasn’t sure if I was going to be able to get out of the deep squat and reach without using my arms to push myself up, but I could do it! I don’t remember if I was able to do that move a month ago. Also, I like the goblet squat pulse. Thanks, PJ!❤

[@FitnesswithPJ]

So great Margaret! 🙌

[@jacc1809]

I liked this workout, but my knees really struggled, they just don’t like the side movements and going down too far, but it was a great workout when I didn’t have to create my own plan B. 🤪 I listened to my body though.

[@FitnesswithPJ]

Way to go listening to your body! Your workarounds will come more naturally with time 💗

[@anaem956]

TY PJ! Could you pls let me know a modification for cussack lunges ? This move is to much for me knees , thx ❤

[@FitnesswithPJ]

I recommend a side lunge. So don't go as deep as I do during the cussack lunge. 👍

[@mariadefatimafatima8077]

Day 26 DONE 🎉 The first move was soooo dificult. For sure I wll repeat this one . PS: LH come and join to suffer with us 😂😂😂

[@FitnesswithPJ]

Haha! I agree - come on LH! 🥰

[@andreabarrett3967]

Great workout. I am a runner, how can I strengthen my knees? They feel weak

[@helenegauvin8193]

Hi, is there a sub for the deep squat and reach, my knees won’t let me go that low.

[@FitnesswithPJ]

Go as low as your knees will allow 💕

[@elizabethrechtien2601]

🤣🤣 LH made me laugh out loud.

[@FitnesswithPJ]

😂 🥰

[@jburwinkel]

I love this one, even though it's a real butt-kicker!!

[@FitnesswithPJ]

🤩

[@mandylloyd6750]

You could call this one "PT with PJ!" 😂

[@FitnesswithPJ]

Love it! 😍

[@susanlumley5547]

[@FitnesswithPJ]

So good! 😌 😍

[@davesaad2292]

Why does this workout seem very very very familiar?

[@FitnesswithPJ]

Because we've done it before? 😃

[@taiwoogunyankin8741]

PJ. I loved getting a peek of your loving husband on camera

[@FitnesswithPJ]

Haha! He's the best, right? 🤩
