Radiance: Home Fitness Workout

I’ve been using this app for eight months now and it’s been the only thing I’ve been able to be consistent with for that long in 10 years. Although I haven’t lost any weight (which I honestly don’t expect when I can’t do anything about my diet right now due to finances) but I’ve gained a lot of strength and definitely gained a routine and motivation. That is almost worth more at this point because my self-esteem has gone through the roof just by taking care of myself daily. So thank you thank you thank you. Also being able to share my workout results every day with my best friend has kept me accountable and motivated her to start working out herself. I have had to modify a few exercises for my diastasis recti, but a little Google research gives me some good alternatives so that I can just continue with the work out while substituting here and there. Anyway- short story- the app is worth every penny-but the key here is if you are willing to push yourself. If you’re ready, the app is AWESOME.

I started my weight loss journey at 221lbs. I lost 15lbs in the beginning but was having trouble losing anymore. I’m a stay at home mom who works from home and I wasn’t confident enough to go to the gym. I came across this app and thought it was great because I can choose my own workout plan, set goals, and workout around my busy schedule. You have to pay for it but in most cases you have to pay for a gym membership too so I didn’t think that was a big deal. When I tell you it is 100% worth it and then some! I put on a lot of weight after having 2 kids. I can confidently say I am in the 160s now and not done. After starting grow with Jo I lost another 40 some lbs. Jo is super motivating and there are tons of workouts to choose from so if you’re a beginner you can still start here too. I am so grateful for this app and so glad I found it! If you’re starting a weight loss journey or maybe you’re already in one but this app is the way to go. Nothing like a strong confident woman boosting your confidence and giving you the motivation and tools you need to succeed!

Grow With Jo was the best choice I could have made regarding my health. I used to have extreme anxiety regarding cardio workouts and programs, and I always managed to talk myself out of doing them but Jo has changed that. Now, I have been using this app for over six months. I started with the 15 minute workouts and have progressively worked my self up to over an hour. Jo, thank you so much for everything that you are doing - you don’t just make people want to change, you make them feel like you actually can and give them the means to do it. ❤️ A few things that I would love to see in the app: 1.) I have plantar fasciitis and sometimes the jumping workouts make it flare up. I think it would be incredible to have a little box in the corner with alternative workouts that you could switch to if one is too difficult, if you physically can’t do it, or if you’re having a harder day and need a lighter version. 2.) It would be amazing to have a program of dancing workouts, like the YT videos, on the app. Barre workouts would be really cool too. 4.) Maybe a journaling function can be added to the app? I love being able to answer how the workout made me feel after its done but would love to be able to easily access this information and to write about it to keep track of my life and growth in the context of exercise, especially since it is an emotional/mental journey as well. 3.) This might just be me, but I wish that I could edit/pause the program after initiating it. I sometimes put in the wrong starting date or days that I want to exercise and I have to start up another program to cancel that and restart the preferred one to right it (who knows, maybe I’m doing this wrong?). I have also gotten sick and was unable to workout but the program goes on without me and automatically goes to the next workout day - personally, I find this disheartening to scroll back past the workouts that I missed and to feel that everything is off.
