Summary
Joan MacDonald is a 73 year old woman who has lost nearly 60lbs, and is the most jacked and tan senior citizen you’ve never heard of. In 2016 Joan was very unhappy, unhealthy, and suffered from arthritis and a tumor that had to be removed from her abdomen. Since then she has been able to reclaim her life through proper nutrition and deadlifts (Yes! She deadlifts and is jacked!) and continue to inspire others across several generations.

| 0:00.0 | Power Project Crew, welcome to today's show. This episode was recorded on May 1st, and it is with a very inspiring and encouraging guest, the one and only Joan McDonald. |
| 0:10.0 | Joan is 73 years old. She is jacked, she is tanned, she is like I said very inspiring. |
| 0:17.0 | She just recently started weight training specifically about three years ago and she's been able to drop about 40 to 50 |
| 0:25.8 | pounds and keep it off. What's really interesting is before that she still was |
| 0:30.2 | going to a gym she just wasn't really finding her groove. She wasn't really |
| 0:33.9 | working with somebody until her daughter actually tried to help her and what |
| 0:37.8 | you'll learn is you know when she was unhealthy she was unhappy. Now that she is |
| 0:42.2 | healthy she's now happy. A lot of this stuff |
| 0:45.2 | correlates with each other, you know, life in the gym runs parallel, we always talk |
| 0:48.6 | about that sort of thing on this podcast, but like I said, man, we are so inspired and fired up for having her on the podcast. |
| 0:56.1 | She explained how, you know, if you're in a slump and you're blaming it on the quarantine and |
| 1:01.3 | the lockdown, that's just an excuse. If you really want to get in shape it has to come from inside it has to come in from you |
| 1:07.6 | again kind of some stuff that like Ross Edgley said not too long ago and I mean we were all like I said we're all fired up from this |
| 1:14.6 | episode so thank you general for taking the time out of your day to be on our show we |
| 1:18.5 | sincerely appreciate that we think everybody from all age groups will get a ton out of this episode, not just in the older age group, but in any age group. |
| 1:28.4 | I mean, it's an amazing thing when you can speak to somebody who has a ton of life experience and really pick their brain about like you know and what makes them tick so if you are finding yourself right now in a slump or maybe you know somebody that is or you want to motivate somebody to get started. a I mean she was she was in her set she was 71 when she first started so you know a lot of people |
| 1:55.3 | might feel like oh it's too late for me or you know I have aches and pains I have this I have that |
| 2:01.7 | here's a perfect example of what's possible. So if you guys do find |
| 2:05.9 | this episode valuable, please share it with as many people as you can because we |
| 2:10.0 | think her message is extremely powerful. And if this episode does give you some motivation |
| 2:15.9 | but you're not sure exactly where to turn to, please head over to markbell.com. |
| 2:20.3 | Markbell.com is where Mark actually posts his daily workouts every single day. |
