the top 3 things that keep me motivated are: workouts with no interruptions, a schedule to follow, and a community that keeps me accountable and inspired. Get this recipe for success and support the growwithjo channel here: growwithjo.com/pages/homefitness

[@lilkatie93]

How soon after your C-section did you start working out ?

[@derobillardangelique3192]

@lilkatie93 I wonder too, to know that before starting any exercise 🤔

[@Solangie-HarCas]

I love the realness of this video. I was so discouraged because my kids make it so hard to get through a workout but I see the grace you give yourself🥰 the motivation I needed

[@nitawashingston4875]

Same here

[@kaminalemons7521]

My kids do it with me🎉

[@RachelMitchell-bg3pu]

as someone postpartum, the video deeply resonated. The creator's emphasis on a sustainable fitness routine aligns with my desire for gradual progress. The 10-minute booty burn workout showcased achievable exercises, inspiring confidence. The introduction of Grow with Joe Home for monthly programs seemed promising. Reflecting on resolutions, the subtle mention of health aspects resonated. The reminder to focus on how my body feels rather than excessive weighing struck a chord. The green smoothie preparation emphasized post-workout nutrition, something I often overlook. The invitation to join the workout series felt inclusive, encouraging consistent efforts for lasting results.

[@destinydery]

In for consistency, and out with weighing on the scale daily for me!

[@SuperBubblybubz]

Every. Single. Parent. Appreciates. This. Video!!! Love it. Real and raw.

[@MrsRivera777]

Jo! Will support and jump on the website! You have been the first person to inspire me in such a big way! I started with you in October 2022 and never looked back. I’m almost 37 years old next month and a mommy of 3 boys, never thought I would be able to be fit, and also loose 25 lbs. Thanks to you! I still have weight I still want to loose and I have realized this is a lifestyle and lifetime journey! It’s me vs me! Thank you and God bless you and your beautiful family! Let’s do this GWJ fam 🫶👏👏🙏🙌❤️ much much love sister in Christ.

[@nfury-iw7yu]

I struggle with consistency so badly. I feel like I can never commit to any routine or workout plan, so that is definitely my number one focus for this year.

[@womanofacertainage5892]

me, too!

[@MoonBun-illu]

Same. Sooooo I have been using the "what do I feel like today?" method. The only thing I look at is that the workouts I do are roughly the same length each day. For me something between 20-30 min., so usually 25 ish minutes give or take and If I feel like it I throw in a little 10-15 min night routine, especially if I've been sitting a lot. It makes working out for me personally much easier since I focus first and foremost to show up everyday and move my body. I find that this is a very good approach that worked for me rather well to make working out a habit or routine before focusing on a particular plan. It also helped me to set a time for my workout. It helps to make working out a habit, a thing you do every day at the same time for the same length. For me it's usually around 1 p.m. and I also made myself a YT playlist with different workouts that I scroll through the night before to see what sparks some interest. It also helps to find a type of thing you like to do and that is fun. Out of my experience as a non professional just trying to get my butt up every day, it brings absolutely nothing forcing yourself through a strength routine when you like dancing more. The only thing this does is making you dreading the workout and therefore either not finishing it or just saying "I'll do it later" before eventually not doing it at all

[@SweetTrees]

ME TOO. D: Starting tonight. I plan on watching this and following along. (Even though I woke up extremely sick, it's now or never.)

[@FullyBakedPotato]

That saying always keeps me coming back! “Ya gotta stay consistent to see true and lasting results” so many times when I have wanted to give up I remember Jo saying how consistency is key and it always encourages me.

[@havendressage]

I just had baby number 2 and this video brought me to tears ❤ thank you for the realness of what you're feeling and what working out with multiple children can look like.

[@manunjoh6561]

Me too! had baby #2 end of December and just about to start getting myself together.

[@ameliadelgado3382]

I’m so thankful for your content and your persona online. You’ve helped me actually WANT to work out and look forward to it. Which has never been the case for me. Ever. Jan 5 will be 2 months of staying consistent with my workouts each week. My goal is to surpass 6 months of consistent weekly workouts. That would be a lifetime record for me. Thanks for what you do Jo!

[@ashleyquinones3758]

The vulnerability you give Joe is so encouraging. Thanks for keeping it real with us. May you and the growwithjo community reach our goals by the grace of God.

[@kJ-wd9wk]

Love the real time rawness of this video as well as a mother of two Littles❤ completely relatable and how it looks when I work out in a daily i am excited to continue this journey with you all❤

[@leticialederman]

I'm a 52 year old grandma thats being struggling with getting in shape for over 15 since my pregnancy. I was born premature 2lbs2z that fought to survive. 52 years later and many surgeries I'm still standing. You're an inspiration to me. ❤

[@SM78..]

Omg look at your sweet new blessing!! And such a precious big brother❤

[@ricashepherd5631]

Love this video! I remember working out with toddlers hanging all over me! And love seeing you have to take a break because the moves are a bit too challenging for where you are now. Reminds me that where we are isn’t where we stay. Thanks for this video!

[@khuloodalsaberi3653]

Thank you Jo for your positive support, love and effort you give us all

[@BeautiNWisdom1]

Kaizen’s such a sweet boy. I like this format of your videos because this is usually what it looks like when you have kids 😂. They could care less about what you’re doing. They’re coming to find you.

[@ItsaSisterhoodThang]

HERE FOR IT.

[@miemiemagodiela]

Loved this! Kids can grow with Moms! Thank you, Jo! ❤

[@suek.1507]

Thank you, Jo. Your workouts have helped me lose weight, but more importantly, helped me to appreciate this older body of mine. ❤

[@MrsPierreIsabella]

Thank you so much for this. I am currently nine months postpartum after my third baby and the weight is so much harder to fall off. I am constantly weighing myself on the scale and getting discouraged. The other day, my daughter took a random picture of me and I was so disgusted. Mind you I have been working out for 2 1/2 months consistently. You said something in the video that really motivated me. “We may not see the difference in the numbers”, but my energy has been different and I do feel more confident so I have to give myself a pat on the back for that. I’m going to keep pushing. Love your videos.❤

[@todolopuedoencristoquemefo8124]

You know Jo you made me think ever since I found you. In 30 years I still want to have fun working out and be able to stay strong . Thank you from North Carolina

[@RafaellevNispen]

I love this format so much!! Thanks for all your work and realness. My daily workouts with you are always so fun! 🥰

[@ChunmaiRoo]

Being “consistent” is my goal starting today…. Thank you Jo! For all that you do! I can relate to you so much. I have 2 kids of my own and I kinda let myself go. I’ll be joining you. 😊

[@-thegoodbrother1-]

Your words are a great source of encouragement. I do find it difficult to reach my goal. I thank you for your kind words though, they give me hope. I thank and give praise to God that you are here as my source of encouragement. Thank you Jo and God bless you

[@altih7561]

i love how the kids are just hanging around 🥺💜 i love love your channel so inspiring and motivating

[@nahiddahmusyoki9131]

Am also 12wks postpartum and am so happy that I am seeing this am ready as well

[@emilysalter]

I found your videos at the end of December 2023 and it has been an absolute game changer to do workouts everyday that are fun & challenging but doable, especially 10 months post partum ❤

[@avaa1217]

I’ve been struggling with finding the moves too difficult for me. I need to learn to just stick with it even if I have to modify it for a long time. When I try to do squats and lunges my knees hurt so I give up and just go back to cardio. This year I’m just going to keep modifying!

[@c0urtneylynne796]

I REFUSE to workout to anything else but you. I fell off the bandwagon and all of the weight i lost, i gained back. I am more motivated than ever to getnback to how i used to be❤

[@libbykat3958]

Wow, you're feeling the burn AND talking all the way through it! I love your authenticity, thank you for being such an uplifting inspiration as I work along with you and my 3 little folk.

[@sofapop653]

This is just what I needed! Your videos kept me strong when I was pregnant last year, kept me from backsliding. Excited to be on this journey with you! (4 months pp here ❤️)

[@MariaAlexandraR]

12 weeks post partum and you look great and most importantly - healthy and glowy! I have yet to have my first kid 🫠🫠🫠 I’m scared I won’t be able to “bounce back” but that’s a mentality change I need to work on.

[@neishaneisha2428]

We love you Jo! We are in this together!

[@SanaaStark]

It’s the first crime I’m trying your videos and it was real fun. 😊 I’m not a New Year’s resolution person but vowed to prioritize my health before anything else. This is day one 1️⃣

[@issyl531]

I’ve not workout in like 6 months! Now watching this is making me feel positive! Thank you❤

[@HelenKerins]

Wow her postpartum body is my dream body 😩😆😩😆 I’m 16days away from my C-Section and can’t wait to be cleared to start working out! In the meantime I’ll watch my girl Jo and get inspired!!

[@anikejulien7273]

Good luck to you with your c section and healing!!

[@MariaRivera-nv8nc]

You are the best!!❤ You are such a beautiful person… inside and outside ❤ Thank you so much for everything you do to help us and help yourself!! ❤

[@slsmith-xp2hq]

LOVED this! Just another mom trying to be the best that we can be!

[@majdjadallah6809]

i love how real you are in your videos i have also lost track because of the changes that happened in my life i am a total beginner again and your videos just make me wanna stay consistent i love your postive energy ♥

[@brooklynjohnson6819]

I’m 5 weeks postpartum and I’m gonna start watching your videos again I did your workout before I was pregnant 😊love you

[@jend2985]

It's so nice to see your trainer struggling with the same moves you are. 😁🙃

[@wishingonthemoon1]

Thank you for showing us realness, real life. Bless you!

[@anamariahill6393]

I really enjoyed this video. I have a 4 year old and a 20 month old and lately I’ve felt like I was putting myself last or not even on my list. I agree that weighing myself constantly is depressing especially after you have started to make changes in diet and workout. So I’m just going to keep working out with you and just feeling my body change.

[@roseoliver7179]

So happy for you I did not know that you had your 2 child. So very happy for you and your family and friends take care of yourself praying for people around the world we need it so much. I have been so busy with things.

[@naomigomez4484]

Omg your older baby is so big 😅🫶I will be right there with you girl 2 months pp can’t wait to kick ass this year

[@LovaticForever97]

Thank you for this video, it’s very helpful 🥺💜 My motto since I started working out with you on July 2022 is « You gotta stay consistent to see true and lasting results » because it’s give me motivation 💪

[@agrossi6]

The motivation I needed!! I’m 8 months PP with a c section, and I wasn’t prepared for it to take this long to feel and look good again. It’s been hard to find a routine but I’m hoping to stay consistent with your workouts!! You look amazing, Jo! Thank you for all your workouts and time and dedication to all of us!

[@deborahpetschel5633]

Your children are precious and you look great!! I'm going to start this refresh with you! Been off the wagon for a bit and it's time to get back on! Let's do this!

[@gracetopic]

Omg this is amazing! Love the sweetness of this video! Great reminder for this mama!

[@darcycollins1987]

I love this video so much! Being a mom and getting your workout in is real life! You’re doing great mama ❤

[@MikailaLange-qi1tu]

This is so inspiring! I have been so unmotivated recently and impatient with myself. Thank you so much, Jo💕💕

[@ashleytunny]

Couldn’t agree with this more! Love this style, thank you for sharing!

[@Amelidylle]

You are so cute together, I love this real mom life 🥰

[@mentor-alia]

So so sooo happy I found you! My goal this year is to loose some of those 20kg I gained during pregnancy 3 years ago. You make it so easy and fun, thank you so much!

[@ExcuseMe-Fred]

Goal: to be consistent and taking care of my body with being postpartum ❤ Blessings !

[@ettaseyes]

I love the style of this video and how she talks us through the workout

[@susanridenour9758]

Niiiice, Jo. Less weighing, more moving. Strength, not necessarily weight.

[@evelyntrevino331]

Thank you for showing the realness. This was me yesterday with my 13 month old that kept coming over during your workout video. It’s so hard as a mom 😢

[@NishasSnapback]

I will be doing this today and the new video you just drop. I love how real this video is.

[@s99192]

I absolutely love this❤😊 Positively in negativity out 🎉💯

[@harber54412]

I definitely want to be more consistent with my workouts. 3-4 times a wk is good enough for me but sometimes it’s hard to start and it becomes a month later so this time ima keep aiming to keep going cuz you’ll be surprised how quick time flies

[@gabyvilla2639]

I had my fourth c section last week and I am so glad I have your channel. Thank you ❤

[@DoeRaeMe]

My kids sure like watching that bar on the top too, while I workout😅 My oldest daughter(she’s 5) dances along with me while yelling, “I love that girl” about Jo! Not me🤣🙈

[@kJ-wd9wk]

Lol im glad im not the only one using my child for balance they be hanging on to me so close I cant help, but to incorporate them lol the "is it ok that I use your head" 😂

[@kaminalemons7521]
