Published on July 5, 2020
At 74, most ladies are comfortably enjoying being grandmothers and living out their retirement the way they always dreamt to. However, not Joan MacDonald. This 74-year-old grandma's life began at 72 when she decided to turn things around and embrace a fit lifestyle.

Joan, a mother of three, went through a hysterectomy, abdominal surgery, and weight gain back in her 50s. But she did not want to play victim for the rest of her days. Instead, she wore her big girl pants and ventured into the world with a smile on her face and fire in her heart.
She turned her focus to the gym and worked out like there was no tomorrow. She shed off a couple of kilograms and emerged looking leaner and healthier in the process. At first, she joined the gym to stay healthy, but soon after, it became her mission, her vision, her place of peace, and her source of happiness.
At her age, Joan managed to lift weights and bend her body like that of a young gymnast. Crazy what fitness can do. The mother of three also encourages her followers to invest in their health and focus on lifesaving diets. She had issues with her blood pressure, acidity, and high cholesterol and chose to face her problems head-on.
