Good morning from Tallahassee, FL. I wrote a few weeks ago when I had lost 70 lbs. This is my most replayed video. I love the pace and the music isn't too intrusive. I have now lost 80 lbs. I started on March 8, 2024 at 206. The videos from Improved Health are the best. I'm a 73 yo female so the pace is good for me. BUT, while losing fat, I've gained muscle--all thanks to Improved Health. Keep up the good work!
WOW!!! Diane, you are on a mission! I can't even imagine how good you must be feeling with what you've accomplished. That puts you at 126 lbs which depending on your height sounds like a healthy weight. A massive congratulations to you for working so hard to get to where you are today. You are definitely a very determined person.
Hi Jules! I've been MIA for a year. I had a left total knee replacement. Just when I was getting up to par, I had surgery for cancer on my right lower leg! no leg exercising for 5 months! well at 72 you fall back to a beginner. So, I tried this video, and I loved it! Thanks for all you do!
Oh wow, Maureen. I'm so glad to read that you're able to exercise again (and have recovered!). This is an intermediate level workout so you are doing VERY well if you managed this one! You'll have lots of videos to catch up on:) So glad you're healthy and well, Maureen.🫂
Congratulations on getting yourself back at it. 🙏👏👏👏I am going to be 72 next month and also have my own health challenges. Everyday I finish a workout I am filled with Gratitude I was able to make a comeback and get back to releasing those well needed feelings good endorphins. Keep healing and stay strong.
Your brain picked up the wavelengths of mine after literally just reading an article about the effectiveness of intervals. The best part is that YOU made them easy by being the timer -- and adding the peppy, motivational music!
@@ImprovedHealth I do have to agree. Your intervals are easy cause you are keeping time! All your videos are so inspiring, creative and very professional! And I think most of us love that there is no talking,just moving to the great music! Don’t get me wrong we love your voice 😀 Thank you for doing what you do to help us stay active and reach our goals!
I’m 28 yrs old and on a fitness/weight loss journey. I’ve been doing TH-cam workouts for a while now but only recently discovered your channel. I absolutely love low impact, all standing workouts. You’re my new go to channel for workouts. Thank you!
Hi From Suffolk, England. Love this interval session. I'm 68 with High pressure and some extra pounds. These workouts are helping me make real progress. My blood pressure has been a lot lower for the past 6 months doing these and this video especially. Many thanks ❤❤❤
I just have to stop in and say a few things today. I’ve been stalled since March and adding this definitely has helped get the scale moving again! Pointing to the feet for change in action is extremely helpful! Your inspirational words throughout your workouts truly hit my heart. I often find myself emotional with how far I’ve come and what I can ask my body to do. I look forward to every workout. I used to be a very tight 3x and today I treated myself to a new workout outfit (shoes and bra included) all in a size small!! Thank you so much. I can’t tell you how happy I am to have found your channel!❤
You have absolutely made my evening, Karen! Thank you SO much for taking the time to let me know about your progress, and also what you enjoy about the workouts that I create. THANK YOU!!!🫂
I’ve done this workout several times, and I love it. Although I really watched my food today, I didn’t feel like I got in my normal steps. So, of course, I turned to Jules. I also shared your channel with my dr yesterday. She was quite impressed, and is going to share with her patients🙌. I’ve been working out with you since November 2023. I’ve lost 52 pounds, gone down 4 pant sizes and 3 top/dress sizes and my A1C was 5.9! Thank you, thank you, thank you! I hope you had a relaxing and family-filled Christmas.
It is amazing how far you have come in the past year. You have truly changed your future and I am incredibly happy for you! Thank you SO much for sharing your progress with me, and a massive THANK YOU for sharing my channel with your doctor. Kudos to you for working hard to get to where you are today, Deborah! 2024 has been a good year for you! Wishing you continued success in 2025.
Love your workouts! I have been a subscriber for a few years and work out to your videos 4-5 times per week. Would love to see more 30, 40 and 45 minutes walking workouts. Thank you!!
Thanks for the request:) I’ll get back to some longer ones soon. I was away on vacation and now have been struggling with a cold for the past week. I’ll have one out when I can.
Good morning Jules 🌄 Oh my goodness I was smiling through this entire workout 😊 That was so MUCH fun!! Thank you for starting us with a smile and setting us up for a the week ahead ❣️🌈❣️
This was a great plateau buster. I will be revisiting this again. Years ago these high and low exercises were done on the step. This is fantastic for me in my old age. Thank you!
Got my heart pumping for sure! My ego is bruised as my hip strain prevents this 70 year old to do some intense cardio! Still able to walk and do heavy weights, so hard to reel it in but I know that it is what I need right now!Thank you!
It's definitely hard to slow ourselves down when we are used to going full blast...but, there are times when our bodies need time to recover in order to get back to working out hard again. I'm glad you're listening to your body and slowing it down a bit (although this video isn't exactly slowing it down!). Goes to show your amazing fitness level!
Quarter of an hour to go before 2024 comes to an end. What a way to finish! Now for the champagne...... A Happy New Year to you, Jules, and to all the lovely people who are part of your community. Wishing you love and good health for 2025 .
Love your Adidas yellow shirt, Jules! Both are my favorites! I did a workout with your Tabata video then after thought I’d try this new one. I had no idea what to expect, but WOW I loved it. It’s fun to combine the workouts to get my 40 minutes in. Thank you for your hard work in providing workouts especially for us seniors. I can see my hard work is paying off and can’t wait to see more!😊💛
This is a perfect burst of cardio to add onto strength training. Having a rest from that today, so I did this twice over and feel ready for anything! Thank you Jules 😊
Just recently discovered your channel and I am hooked 😊 I look forward to doing mini workouts whenever I can squeeze it in I appreciate having the option of varying lengths so I can pick the one that best fits that days battles
Thank you SO much for letting me know that you're enjoying my channel so far. And, thank you for taking the time to comment! All comments help my channel so I appreciate it!
I was a bit skeptical that a 5 second burst of speed at the end would be sufficiently challenging...but WOW! This (following one of your other interval videos) had me sweating, lol. I've been stuck at a plateau for a while now and I'm hoping this sort of interval will help me push through. Thank you!
This was a great start to a damp grey morning. Managed running pace for both the 10 and 5 sec parts and then completed standing strength workout (love weights!) - couldn't have done that 6 months ago!❤
Walking is totally okay! All that matters is picking up the pace when you can (and that might mean walking fast instead of jogging). Over the weeks, you'll notice you'll be able to do more.
Thank you for another great video, this was a perfect video to do on my off day from your strength training video, wasn't sure I would make it through all the intervals, but just kept my eyes on you and next thing I knew you were saying last one. Your videos make me feel so confident and accomplished. Thank you❤️.
Good morning Jules! I love your workouts! I have been working out ( treatment plan), with you for almost two years! I am almost 61 with a diagnosis of panic anxiety disorder..ie: a mental illness. I love how you sometimes address mental health in your workouts.. like raising your endorphins with a 10 minute exercise etc. Means the world to me. Exercise is SO beneficial for anxiety and depression and can lift you out of that. I really enjoy your workouts and thank you for your grace, friendliness and warmth in each workout.:) Also.. after working out with you.. my labs were better and my prediabeties went down below the cut off point to where I’m not prediabetic at the moment. Also.. may I ask..are you Canadian? The “ about” and other words you say has that distinctive Canadian accent. I lived in Canada for 7 years in my younger days. Hugs to you!! Xo
Thanks so much for your great feedback, Lisa. I'm glad that you noticed I focus on mental health in some of the videos because I am a firm believer in exercise helping us just as much mentally as it does physically. I have worked with a lot of people in my regular job (my day job) who suffer with severe anxiety and depression, so yes, I definitely like to focus on more than just the exercise:) I am from Canada...glad to read that you got a chance to live here for 7 years. Hopefully it was somewhere close to the US border or out west where the temperatures are milder.😉Then again, there are so many beautiful places in Canada to live despite the cold winters!
Thanks so much for this! I did on my mini trampoline and sometimes did jumping jacks and twists etc and sometimes walked and jogged along with you but went with your interval timing. Loved it! Sweat more than expected and had a good time doing it. Thanks ! 👋🇨🇦💪🏃🏼♀️💕
It always makes me smile when I see the BREATHE prompt, and watch as your hands are scooping up air, motioning up and through your diaphragm. It reminds me to not GASP for air, but to take slow breaths...definitely a heart-rate slower!
I'm so glad to read that you find that helpful. I sometimes wonder if people are wondering what the heck I am doing with bringing my arms up but I always hope the 'breathe' prompt makes it more clear.😉
A very interesting “marathon” of small runs. I liked it very much. Such an easy workout is very suitable for such a hot summer. Thank you so much, Jules! Nadia
Thank you Jules! This was a great workout! It got my BPM into the fat burning range! I’ve lost 45 lbs. since I started working out with your videos and doing intermittent fasting. I’m going to do this one every morning during my fasted state. 😉
@@ImprovedHealth its been truly awful. Apart from being wet its also been cold. Snow was forecast a few weeks ago on the Scottish mountains. Last Thursday it was 9 degrees C in my garden. Just really crazy weather
@@marie-theresehayes6875 We've had a lot more rain than usual this year, but thankfully most days are still very warm (28-32 C). Maybe you need to get away to Canada.😉
@ImprovedHealth and you, all the best for the New Year. I have started doing walking for fitness instead of Pilates for a while. Ig certainly energises me in a morning. Thank you 😊
Guau ! 😂 Que manera de correr !!😅🥵🥵.Me vino re bien para entrar en calor porque en Argentina esta haciendo mucho frio !!! Gracias Jules ! Nos vemos el lunes !❤👋👋👋
Oh when I saw the title I was surprise again this morning . Yesterday I said exactely that I tought I was on kind of weight loss plateau 😅 let's tri it! 🏃♀️ after ma firts ☕ haha! And after I wake up 🌞 I already know that I will have fun and be back on weight lost haha! Have a nice week Jules 🍓 big houre later 😂 wouaw! I did it! Musique, your t-shirt the best color the 🏃♀️ love love love it! THANK YOU! The best way to be motivate and start my week positively 🌞🌞🌞 time for water now!
I have a question Jules ; I listen to a spécialiste last week about the weight loss and he explain that when we exercice like us the muscular mass is also gain weight. If I hunderstan what he was telling . Its the same thing with all those workout I do with you? Maybe I'm not only loos but the muscular mass il also to condider. 😊 sorry for my english. Ouf! Anyway when I here that I decided to not go on my balance for few weeks and just continu like I do and be proud on myself and love and be confidence of my boddy . Just be constance. Thank you for your explication. 🙃
Hi Carole, muscle does weigh more than fat but it takes A LOT of strength training to gain weight. I lift heavy in my own workouts and my weight has hardly shifted on the scale. Strength training is incredibly important as we age since it speeds up our metabolism, helps with balance and keeps our bones and muscles strong. Focusing on how you feel and seeing all the other benefits like lower blood pressure, lower blood sugars, etc., is far better than what a scale shows:)
Yess many benefits that I see and feel so good now. And as you said in your videos we are proud, we see all changes every week and I need to be active every day that is new in my life and it was a goal to be active at 60 years old. Here I am at 62 active and in good shape. Thank you jules.
Perfecto....when my glasses fall off thats a good sign lol honestly u start this thinking aw that's so doable but wow that works u so much. Love intervals they really work you and loose calories. An absolute hands down winner .....you looked great in that colour today....so fresh n lovely❤❤❤❤❤
Okay so tonights workout was pretty good! I actually kept up with all the intervals and feel quite proud of myself! It was a much better effort than last nights. 😊 Thank you as always Jules for your workouts and inspiration to get us all moving! A x🎈
Jules you are s-o-o good. I'm sorry that I "found" you so late in my PD exercising, like most of the good things in my life. For almost 50 years my wife was a "computer's widow". So only after being diagnosed with PD I started exercising mostly with physiotherapist and the web sites for parkinsonians. Noone does a decent walking exercises. At 90 degrees weather and the big city I cannot walk at decent speed outside. As to today's session I'm somewhate proud of myself. I did all the walking part without reducing the speed of playback. I rate my performance about C+. The cooldown I was not as good. I have a major balance problem which in spite of my efforts still unresolved. Also, my body flexibility is the same as of an old oak-tree. Jules, I remain your loyal student
Thanks so much for letting me know about your fitness journey. I'm so glad to read that you're exercising regularly to combat the effects of Parkinson's. Exercise definitely helps! In case you haven't seen it, I had a guest on my other channel create a specialized workout for Parkinson's. It is seated, but you can modify to do it standing. It might be a nice workout to mix in 1-2 times a week. youtube.com/@ImprovedHealthChairWorkouts
I just finished day 4/25 of the beginner strength and this was just a bit too intense for me to follow after about half so I improvised and did okay. (I am 75 and almost five months out from hip replacement. "I'll be back." Love your videos with the previews before shifting!!
Hi! This is an intermediate level workout so it is one of my more challenging ones. I create 3 levels of workouts (gentle, beginner and intermediate) and categorize them all into the playlists:)
Back for day 3 on Wed evening. I'm getting better at this now Jules! I'm really focusing and keeping up with your routine. I went on to do 'Uncover the secret to no squat DANCE PARTY' and finished on 11170 steps, so very sweaty but happy that I've pushed myself againwith your encouragement. Thank you as always. A x 🎈
Saturday noon and here I am in the house with 112 degrees outside. Did this with 2-3lb weights again with this video. Will using these small weights really help with toning and losing weight? .Love your energy and your bubbly personality. Thank you Jules for my happiness, body and mental health to keep going and achieve success with my goal in mind. Have a wonderful day with your family Jules.
Hi Gail, I actually recommend not using weights in the faster walking workouts. If you can, just focus on your pace and go at the best pace that works for you. To get the most benefits, I would suggest doing a separate strength workout to really challenge the muscles from a strength perspective. Something like the 15 min strength workout (3x a week) that I uploaded recently which is short, but with lots of effective exercises. On another note, I want to thank you for a comment you wrote yesterday (or the day before). I took time for me today and enjoyed a 90 min mountain bike ride (along with my husband), which I haven't done in years (I usually road ride simply because it takes less time because I just hop on my bike rather than have to drive to trails). I now plan to make it a weekly occurrence. I thoroughly enjoyed the ride today so thank you for your thoughtful comment.🫂
@@sandihunter1260 Ah, yes...I have a hard time remembering where everyone is from. I picked it up a few weeks ago so you might find it at your local Winners.😉

Loved this workout especially the passed pace part 👏 thanks
This one packs a whole lotta good sweating into 20 minutes! Definitely breathing some deep breaths as I cool down...
Hi From Suffolk, England. Love this interval session. I'm 68 with High pressure and some extra pounds. These workouts are helping me make real progress. My blood pressure has been a lot lower for the past 6 months doing these and this video especially. Many thanks ❤❤❤

Thank you so much for this. I got weighed at my doctor's surgery last Monday, and they said I had reached a plateau - you must have overheard!
Lol, I guess I did! Give this a go 2-3 times a week (and do other workouts other days) and I'm sure you'll start seeing change as the weeks go on.
Good morning Jules 🌄 Oh my goodness I was smiling through this entire workout 😊 That was so MUCH fun!! Thank you for starting us with a smile and setting us up for a the week ahead ❣️🌈❣️
Gracias desde CHILE ❤
This was a great plateau buster. I will be revisiting this again. Years ago these high and low exercises were done on the step. This is fantastic for me in my old age. Thank you!
I used my step today just like I did back in the day😂
Loved this and know that your workouts will always be 'doable'. Thank you for all your hard work creating these workouts for us
Thank you! I really appreciate your feedback/comment.🥰
I love the combination of walking while doing strength exercises. Thanks so much!

Thanks so much! I'm impressed that you were working out so close to midnight! I was in bed by 10:45.🤣
Thanks, Jules. Another great workout packed into 20 minutes.
This was a great one!! Thank you so much!!
Morning Jules i know i haven't been on for a long time i had a few health issues I'm sooooooo glad to be back there you Jules 🌟
I'm glad to read that you're okay, Jean and that you're able to exercise with me again.
Started the day well with this exercise🎉
Haven’t done this one in a while! LOVE IT 💖🌟💖🌟💖 thanks Jules😘
It's a good one for getting a good sweat on!
My new favourite. I couldn't do this 6 months ago. Now I'm absolutely buzzin to add it to my daily fitness regime. Thank you. Again 🥰
Truly enjoyed reading your comment, Pat.
Great workout jules let's goooooo!!!!💛💛💛💛💛
I liked this one - thanks!
Praise God I did this today. Thank you for a wonderful workout.
Thank you for your comment:)
Gaining weight after starting to work out. Need to adjust diet. Lost 40 lbs after a stroke very quickly. Now gaining weight
What we eat is definitely the biggest part of us managing our weight. Changing up our workouts, doing intervals, and strength training also helps.
This definitely got my heart rate up and kept it up!! Thank you!
Love your Adidas yellow shirt, Jules! Both are my favorites! I did a workout with your Tabata video then after thought I’d try this new one. I had no idea what to expect, but WOW I loved it.

Double time workout. Sweating like crazy! Thank you, Jules.
So glad to read that you got sweaty!
This is a perfect burst of cardio to add onto strength training. Having a rest from that today, so I did this twice over and feel ready for anything! Thank you Jules 😊

Good Morning Jule! Thanks ❤❤❤❤
Hi Jules, thank you for this! I’m in PT for arthritis in my left hip and left neck. I told my PT group about you. They were impressed.
Hi Jane! Thanks SO much for sharing my channel with your group! I always appreciate your support.🫂
Day 4 of starting with this one. Easier today and still fun to do! Thanks Jules :)

Another one I missed somewhere along the line. Deceptively effective! Thanks.
Thanks Wendy!
Hi Jules I'd definitely give this one 3 thumbs up if could - great workout thank you. Sally
Thanks Sally!
This was a good one! I think I need to do this one regularly and hopefully see some results. Had lots of fun again tonight. Thank you so much.
If you can, try to add this one in 2-3 times a week. It really is an effective workout.
Thank you so much.
This work out is very good for me
Loved it!! Perfect for early hours in the morning before heading off to work...THANK YOU / DANKESCHÖN from Germany!🥰
Thanks for your feedback!
Thanks for another great workout! I used to hate intervals, but these ones just flew past. I always look forward to working out with you.
Oh yay! I'm so glad to read that you now like intervals!
Perfect workout for getting back on the workout wagon! Thank you Jules
Welcome back, Cara!
Recovering from a shin splint. This was the perfect video to get back in the groove.
After being on a River Cruise I am happy to be back. Missed your workouts and smiles 🥰even though there was a lot of walking!!! Thanks Jules!
Glad to read that you had a nice vacation, Char. Welcome back!

So awesome, Liz! I love reading about progress!💪
Hi Jules. Love the routine. Easy to follow & felt good with the dropping perspiration. Thanks.
Thanks for letting me know that you enjoyed it.
Good morning. Thanks for another awesome free, no pressure to subscribe workout and my favorite15 second intervals. You are the best!
Thanks Paula!
What a great workout! Thank you so much Jules
Thanks Gillian!
This is exactly what I need😅 Thank you Jules!🎉
Good evening, Jules. Another great workout. I had to walk on the last 5 fast ones. I will try to do this one again in the morning🌄.
Thanks again ❤❤😊😊😊

Thanks so much for this! I did on my mini trampoline and sometimes did jumping jacks and twists etc and sometimes walked and jogged along with you but went with your interval timing. Loved it! Sweat more than expected and had a good time doing it. Thanks ! 👋🇨🇦💪🏃🏼♀️💕
So glad to read that you enjoyed it and got in a sweaty workout:) Kudos to you for adding in harder exercises to make the workout your own.
It always makes me smile when I see the BREATHE prompt, and watch as your hands are scooping up air, motioning up and through your diaphragm. It reminds me to not GASP for air, but to take slow breaths...definitely a heart-rate slower!
I'm so glad to read that you find that helpful. I sometimes wonder if people are wondering what the heck I am doing with bringing my arms up but I always hope the 'breathe' prompt makes it more clear.😉
Love this thank you❤❤❤
I see you have new videos looking forward to trying them all! This was a good one!
I upload a new one each Monday:)
A very interesting “marathon” of small runs. I liked it very much. Such an easy workout is very suitable for such a hot summer. Thank you so much, Jules! Nadia
Thanks Nadia!
Thank you Jules! This was a great workout! It got my BPM into the fat burning range! I’ve lost 45 lbs. since I started working out with your videos and doing intermittent fasting. I’m going to do this one every morning during my fasted state. 😉
WOO HOO! Congrats on your 45 lb weight loss, Linda!!!
Hi, jules just found your channel on TH-cam. I really enjoyed the exercises the 20 minutes flew by. I shall try to do more. Thank you 😊
I'm so glad that you're enjoying the workouts so far, Elaine. Thanks so much for taking the time to comment.
Oh that was a cheeky wee workout. Got my heart rate up and I am a tad sweaty! Thanks Jules just what I needed on another miserable day here in the UK
Aw, sorry to read the weather isn't great:( I'm glad you found the motivation to work out and forget the weather for a little while.
@@ImprovedHealth its been truly awful. Apart from being wet its also been cold. Snow was forecast a few weeks ago on the Scottish mountains. Last Thursday it was 9 degrees C in my garden. Just really crazy weather
@@marie-theresehayes6875 We've had a lot more rain than usual this year, but thankfully most days are still very warm (28-32 C). Maybe you need to get away to Canada.😉
@@ImprovedHealth oh that would be fab! Love Canada.
Great interval workout! Got my heart rate up! 🤩
Good Morning from Manchester England ❤
Wishing you a great day:)
@ImprovedHealth and you, all the best for the New Year. I have started doing walking for fitness instead of Pilates for a while. Ig certainly energises me in a morning. Thank you 😊
Your workouts are the best! Thank you 😊
Thanks SO much, Terri!

And after I wake up 🌞 I already know that I will have fun and be back on weight lost haha! Have a nice week Jules 🍓 big houre later 😂 wouaw! I did it! Musique, your t-shirt the best color the 🏃♀️ love love love it! THANK YOU! The best way to be motivate and start my week positively 🌞🌞🌞 time for water now!
I have a question Jules ; I listen to a spécialiste last week about the weight loss and he explain that when we exercice like us the muscular mass is also gain weight. If I hunderstan what he was telling . Its the same thing with all those workout I do with you? Maybe I'm not only loos but the muscular mass il also to condider. 😊 sorry for my english. Ouf! Anyway when I here that I decided to not go on my balance for few weeks and just continu like I do and be proud on myself and love and be confidence of my boddy . Just be constance. Thank you for your explication. 🙃
Hi Carole, muscle does weigh more than fat but it takes A LOT of strength training to gain weight. I lift heavy in my own workouts and my weight has hardly shifted on the scale. Strength training is incredibly important as we age since it speeds up our metabolism, helps with balance and keeps our bones and muscles strong. Focusing on how you feel and seeing all the other benefits like lower blood pressure, lower blood sugars, etc., is far better than what a scale shows:)
Yess many benefits that I see and feel so good now. And as you said in your videos we are proud, we see all changes every week and I need to be active every day that is new in my life and it was a goal to be active at 60 years old. Here I am at 62 active and in good shape. Thank you jules.
Great quick workout Jules 😅! Just what I needed on a busy day
A great choice of a workout for a busy day!
Perfecto....when my glasses fall off thats a good sign lol honestly u start this thinking aw that's so doable but wow that works u so much. Love intervals they really work you and loose calories. An absolute hands down winner .....you looked great in that colour today....so fresh n lovely❤❤❤❤❤
Thanks Allyson, and so glad to read that you enjoyed a sweaty workout!
Okay so tonights workout was pretty good!
I actually kept up with all the intervals and feel quite proud of myself!
It was a much better effort than last nights.
😊
Thank you as always Jules for your workouts and inspiration to get us all moving!

So glad to see you here again today, Annette (well, I guess this was yesterday so maybe I'll see another comment from you today:)
Jules you are s-o-o good. I'm sorry that I "found" you so late in my PD exercising, like most of the good things in my life. For almost 50 years my wife was a "computer's widow". So only after being diagnosed with PD I started exercising mostly with physiotherapist and the web sites for parkinsonians. Noone does a decent walking exercises. At 90 degrees weather and the big city I cannot walk at decent speed outside. As to today's session I'm somewhate proud of myself. I did all the walking part without reducing the speed of playback. I rate my performance about C+. The cooldown I was not as good. I have a major balance problem which in spite of my efforts still unresolved. Also, my body flexibility is the same as of an old oak-tree. Jules, I remain your loyal student
Thanks so much for letting me know about your fitness journey. I'm so glad to read that you're exercising regularly to combat the effects of Parkinson's. Exercise definitely helps! In case you haven't seen it, I had a guest on my other channel create a specialized workout for Parkinson's. It is seated, but you can modify to do it standing. It might be a nice workout to mix in 1-2 times a week. youtube.com/@ImprovedHealthChairWorkouts
@@ImprovedHealth Thanks. I went there and added the exercises to my "to do" list
Another great video! Thank you 😊
That was AWESOME!!!! Thank you, thank you!!!! 😁
Thanks Terrie!
Yay-HOO!!! This one got my heart rate up, right on target! Good, sweaty workout...just the kind I like the best!
Thanks Jan!
Thanks Great movements Loved all the positive feedback too 🐸
Thank you!
Love this! ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉
Thank you!
This is a GREAT workout.
Thank you!
Thank you so much for this, Jules😍❤
I just finished day 4/25 of the beginner strength and this was just a bit too intense for me to follow after about half so I improvised and did okay. (I am 75 and almost five months out from hip replacement. "I'll be back." Love your videos with the previews before shifting!!
Hi! This is an intermediate level workout so it is one of my more challenging ones. I create 3 levels of workouts (gentle, beginner and intermediate) and categorize them all into the playlists:)
Thank you Jules❤I wanted to break the plateau.. let's see what happens ❤❤❤
Back for day 3 on Wed evening.
I'm getting better at this now Jules!
I'm really focusing and keeping up with your routine.
I went on to do 'Uncover the secret to no squat DANCE PARTY' and finished on 11170 steps, so very sweaty but happy that I've pushed myself againwith your encouragement.
Thank you as always.

That's awesome, Annette! Massive high ten to you!!!
Awesome awesome..thank ypu.
Thanks Juanita!
Saturday noon and here I am in the house with 112 degrees outside. Did this with 2-3lb weights again with this video. Will using these small weights really help with toning and losing weight? .Love your energy and your bubbly personality. Thank you Jules for my happiness, body and mental health to keep going and achieve success with my goal in mind. Have a wonderful day with your family Jules.
Hi Gail, I actually recommend not using weights in the faster walking workouts. If you can, just focus on your pace and go at the best pace that works for you. To get the most benefits, I would suggest doing a separate strength workout to really challenge the muscles from a strength perspective. Something like the 15 min strength workout (3x a week) that I uploaded recently which is short, but with lots of effective exercises. On another note, I want to thank you for a comment you wrote yesterday (or the day before). I took time for me today and enjoyed a 90 min mountain bike ride (along with my husband), which I haven't done in years (I usually road ride simply because it takes less time because I just hop on my bike rather than have to drive to trails). I now plan to make it a weekly occurrence. I thoroughly enjoyed the ride today so thank you for your thoughtful comment.🫂
Great class today, love the intervals. I'm really sweaty. Love your t-shirt and the colour. Where did you get it?
I picked that up recently at 'Winners' which is similar to Marshalls. I don't believe 'Winners' is in the US.
@@ImprovedHealth I'm Canadian and we have Winners.
Are you Canadian Jules?
@@sandihunter1260 Ah, yes...I have a hard time remembering where everyone is from. I picked it up a few weeks ago so you might find it at your local Winners.😉
