2 MILE DANCE WORKOUT | Beginner Low Impact | At Home Workout | Improved Health
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 11 ต.ค. 2024
- Today's workout is a little bit longer than last week. This is a 2 mile dance workout (or you can consider it a 2 mile walk). Whatever you consider it, it's exercise that is getting your heart healthy and is great for your mental health, too! I hope this brings happiness to your day.
I'm having so much fun creating these 'at home workouts' for you! I am always happy when I am dancing. Each week I'll increase the distance by a half mile. I figured doubling the distance would be too much for some people so hopefully the half mile increments will work for those of you who are trying to go a bit further each week. Take your time increasing the distance and do whatever works best for YOU!
This 2 mile dance is a total step count of 4668 steps. I hope you enjoy yourself and just have fun with the workout.
Please subscribe and write a comment! I'd love to hear from you! Feedback is always welcome!
Wishing you improved health!
Jules

You NAILED it with this perfect longer workout! All the details that make your videos so upbeat and fun are much appreciated!!! Thank you so much! Blessings!! :)
Thank you SO much, Meena. You make me smile:)
I cant believe I actually completed it!! Feeling empowered. 15 lbs down, 40lbs to go,, these really help
Congrats on completing the workout, AND the 15 lb weight loss! I can ‘hear’ the excitement in your written words which is awesome. Curious, have you tried my interval training series? I think you will be pleasantly surprised with your results. With the program, you can go at your own pace so it’s great for many different fitness levels.
@@ImprovedHealth ill take a look at the interval training series, thank you
I'm 21 years old, and I've been following these workouts ever since the beginning of summer! I've lost around 20 pounds doing so, all thanks to you! Especially great that these can be useful for anyone of all ages and levels. These are simple yet rewarding workouts you do, extremely grateful for this channel! Thank you Jules!
Congratulations on your hard work and consistency with exercise in order to lose the 20 pounds! I'm super excited for you to have come so far. Thank you so much for taking the time to write a comment. ❤️❤️❤️
@@ImprovedHealth Thank you! These workouts make it easy enough for me to have the courage to keep going, while also getting to break a huge sweat haha. Please keep making these! ❤️
@@emmajaeng Thanks so much. I love your attitude. Just keep going! I'll have a new strength workout program out soon which will help to speed up progress:)
I have a 23 year old son doing these. So glad for you.
Thankyou, I'm a 75 year young kiwi who really enjoys the chance to join your workouts, best wishes, Jan
75 and rockin' the dance floor:) I love that you're staying strong and active, Jan. I loved NZ when I travelled there. I spent two months travelling around when I was 25 and went back again for a few weeks a few years later. My plan is to return in 5-8 years time.
Whoo hoo! I did 2 miles! Thanks, Jules
This is my favorite!! I love the 20 second changes as it makes it so much fun the time flies. Thank YOU!!!!
Thank you for letting me know it's your favourite:)
Attempting to play "catch and release", emphasis on the release, with the head cold I caught. Noticed this one dance workout which was new to me and just the right amount of steps to round up today's quota. Your gratitude reminder resonated. A lifelong friend's husband is losing his battle to cancer. He would give anything to be able to do this. Suddenly a stupid cold is a minor annoyance. Thank you, Jules, for reminding us what's important.
I’m so glad you enjoyed the gratitude reminder. I haven’t done that in a while and need to include it again. I think we all need reminders from time to time to focus on appreciating the little things.
@@ImprovedHealth Coincidentally, this popped up as I was perusing Facebook after your reply: "Gratitude unlocks the fullness of life. It turns what we have into enough, and more. It turns denial into acceptance, chaos to order, confusion to clarity. It can turn a house into a home and a stranger into a friend. Gratitude makes sense of our past, brings peace for today, and creates a vision for tomorrow."
Agree with other comments. This is a perfect steady state workout for a Saturday morning!
Thanks so much, Taylor. Wishing you a great weekend.
@@ImprovedHealth You as well!
Jules, your YT subscription numbers just keep going up but no matter how famous you become I really hope you never stop having fun making workout videos, because it's so contagious!
Thanks for a great workout and the fun I had doing it.
Aww, thanks Valerie! My brain was on overdrive today with new workout ideas for the next few weeks:)
This was so fun! I appreciate the great music and the little touches like encouraging messages and how you change the background and color coordinate.
I'm happy to read you had fun...that's how exercise should be:)
My fitbit says "you did it" . Got out of my 30 minute comfort zone and did this 40 minute workout. Thank you for challenging my cardio and flexibility with modifiable lunges, high kicks, and squats.
Gotta love the Fitbit for the motivating message! Congrats for pushing yourself to do it. I love your determination!
16, 12 2023 Hi Jules, l just did the last 15 minutes and the stretching but l enjoyed it. I put some love songs under it. It was good. And it's not too late today. Thanks, have a nice evening!!
Thank you! I enjoy working out with you and love your music! I especially love the 5,000 steps video!
Thanks so much for taking the time to provide me with feedback.💖
Take a break to own the time for myself to have a two miles dance! 1) I am grateful to have your channel supporting to improve our health. 2) I am grateful that my current health condition allowing me to follow almost all your workout set. 3) I am grateful to have funs to cheer me up at the same time when doing the workout! Thanks Jules 🥰
Aww, thank you so much, Emily. What a lovely comment to read. I appreciate that. ❤️
I can't believe that was considered beginner, what a workout. Thank you.
I'm glad that you enjoyed it, Patricia:)
So I had to see a physiotherapist this week because I've got sciatica and arthritis and they don't seem to be easing up. He was so impressed with the variety of exercise I am still doing in spite of the discomfort. I have been so worried that if I stop I will seize up completely but also afraid of aggravating these conditions. I modified some of your exercises but he was happy for me to continue working out with you daily. Thank you Jules
Thanks so much for your feedback, Clare. I'm glad to read that you're modifying exercises as needed and happy that you can continue with me! On days when you're noticing the sciatica more, the gentle or beginner level workouts are always available as an option when your body says the 'intermediate' workouts might be too much. It sounds like you know your body well and what it can handle.
Love your videos, it makes working out so much more easier and fun ❤
Thank you so much for sharing that with me, Lisa. It starts my day off in a great way:) ❤️
Can’t tell you how much I loved this video. Almost 25 minutes in the cardio zone! Thank you.
Aww, there you are again with another lovely comment. Thank you Judith.
I really liked this workout! Thank you for including those stretches at the end. Happy New Year!
Love this gem from your older videos, perfect for days when I want a longer cardio workout. Thank you Jules 😊
Thanks so much, Susan. Wishing you a great day.❤️
I confess I was smiling with the music but with the workout itself....yet another amazing workout. Thank you
I'm very happy to read you were smiling while working out:)
Done !!!!! Un beau deux milles avec vous Jules en ce beau dimanche ensoleillé ici au Québec. Quoi demander de mieux . Have a nice day.
What a wonderful comment...merci beaucoup! It's beautiful here in Ottawa today, too. Sunny and warm.
Just did this one this morning. Adding it to my favorites list for when I want a little bit longer workout.
Thanks for letting me know it's being added to your favourites:)
Simply in awe of this workout. Ur concern in public health and wellness is very commendable
Aww, thank you so much for your comment. I appreciate that. 🥰
Great workout, I feel so good since I found your channel thanks for your great videos ❤️👍🇬🇧
Thank you so much, Jayne!
Thankyou , it did bring happiness to a dreary day weatherwise in NZ. I do appreciate being able to join you and have a bit of fun and exercise with the music too 🌞🌞
Thanks for letting me know that the workout helped:)
Thank you Jules for a 2 Mile Workout! The music was awesome to dance to & of course, you are always the star of the show. I really enjoyed the dancing. Although, I must say just to get a harder workout I snuck in some jogging. LOL Love the cool down as well as the stretching at the end. Always awesome!
Gosh, you always have such nice things to say. Thank you, Vani. I love how you 'snuck' in some jogging...that's perfect!
So much fun! I felt like dancing today and this was perfect. Jules, that beach behind you was amazing. Please use that picture again. Thank you for this great video!
Aww, love to hear that you felt like dancing! I'll keep that in mind about the beach scene. Thanks Valerie! 💖
LOVE LOVE LOVE YOUR WORKOUTS! THANK YOU💗💗💗
Aw, thank you!!!❤️
I love the variety of moves (with a few new ones to me). Thank you for a wonderful workout and for the reminders to be grateful and persevere.
Thanks Pattie.💖
Helen here...too smokey outside to walk so just finished this workout. Only 4000 steps to go today ,now! Lol . Love your videos!
Thanks Helen! Hopefully the air will be better tomorrow.
This was super enjoyable to do on a Sunday morning. 🌞 I liked the calming stretch at the end. Thanks!
Thanks so much for letting me know that you enjoyed it.
Another favourite! I upped the ante and did the whole program with 2 lb weights, so am patting myself on the back a little 😅. Off to finish up with 40 minutes of yoga to loosen up the muscles. ❤
Lol, I love the 'patting yourself on the back'. That's great. We should always be proud of our accomplishments for working out. Plus, it makes our bodies and minds happy:)
Second time 'round.... appreciated it even more....perfect after an indulgent Sunday lunch...🙏
Thank you and I am happy to hear you enjoyed your Sunday lunch, too:)
@@ImprovedHealth Yes, greedy me...
23, 01 2023 Here I am and enjoying myself. I guess, I will be just happy to move I have given up on getting toned. It' too much work. I just do fun exercises that move my whole body and get me out of my chair. I visit a few different trainers on TH-cam and love them all. Today, yours was the first I saw and I did it. Thank you, Jules. And I will have nice sleep. For some time now, exercising slipped into the evening instead of the morning, so this is usually one of the last things I do before going to sleep. So, for me it is always 'have a good night' instead of a good day!
Congrats for exercising today! It definitely takes a lot of motivation to workout late at night so congrats for doing it!
@@ImprovedHealth That is how long it takes for me to motivate myself to do my exercises. It is pitiful really. Mind you, I Iike doing my workout in the evening too. In fact, anytime I do them, I am content.
@@42kellys You're really hard on yourself. You're doing great, Klari. You're here and working out so it doesn't matter when you do it, the fact is that you do.
@@ImprovedHealth Thank you. Except tonight I did not. And now it is too late I need to go to bed.
@@ImprovedHealth Anyway, I am really grateful for encouraging me. Thank you.
..gracias mil nuevamente ... una rutina maravillosa ... realizada completamente ....yo muy feliz que me ayudes a estar autonoma y autovigente a mis ya 80 años graciasssssss 💖💖💖💖
You are amazing.💪
I love your workouts!! I’m hooked! You are a great instructor. Thank you!
Thank you SO much!
Loved everything about this workout
Thank you so much, Jules, for this extensive workout. I divided it and did it for two days as 40 minutes in one go is too much for me 😅
That’s a great way to finish the workout.
Love this. It is perfect for when I go Nordic walking !❤️
Thanks Debra!
Perfect for getting over "hump day". Thank you.
Thanks for joining me:)
Really enjoyed this - thank you so much
Afternoon Jules fantastic work out the music was amazing nailed it 💪 really enjoyed it thank you 💞 xx
Jules Thanks for coming up with these videos. I have loss wt from just exercise with you. Im retired and packed on the pounds during COVID. Im 71 and gym is off the table for me now. Im a germaphobe and i see people not wiping the exercise. Since giving up the gym. i exercise plan is Dance 35 minutes , 3-4 days and weights for 2 days.. I ;love the music. it keeps me motivated. i have been dancing for 10 months lose 37 lbs. Thanks Jules
Wow! Congratulations on your consistent exercise routine to see the amazing weight loss! I’m thrilled to read that you enjoy the dance workouts, and that you are focusing on important strength workouts, too. Good for you for taking charge of your health! I look forward to hearing about progress again as you continue. 🙂
I took your advice Jules and slowed down to let my heartbeat come down (when I got too hot) and that really helped a lot. Also the dance moves in between the regular moves also helped me. It was a fun workout and I was happy to finish it feeling good! Thanks!
Yay! I am super happy to read that you slowed down occasionally as needed. Thanks for letting me know that it helped. 🥰
Nothing better to do for myself on a cold, snowy winter morning (2-12-2022). I do 2 of your videos every day. I especially love the 2 that I found with some Elvis songs in them. I do your work-outs bare footed as I only wear shoes when I leave the house. Mama said I was born with bad feet & corrective shoes as a child never helped. I've tried everything as a mature adult now and nothing works. I now have sesamoiditis & plantar fasciitis in my feet. The only time they stop hurting some is when I am bare footed. My rooms in my house are all carpeted. With all of the other health issues that I have I am always proud of myself when I finish a work out. Thank you so much for making these videos for us to be able to do at home :)
Hi! I'm very happy to read you enjoy my workouts enough to do two videos a day! Thank you for sharing that with me. I'm sorry to hear about the pain in your feet...I'm surprised you haven't been able to find shoes that help. Have you tried fitville shoes? I know they're designed for wide feet and for other foot issues. I am happy to read you are proud of yourself when you finish a workout...that's awesome. It's amazing how much better we feel after we finish. Thank you for taking the time to comment:)
@@ImprovedHealth I have never heard of those shoes but I have had cheap to very expensive shoes and many different types of insoles & treatments from foot specialist. Treatments just put me in worse pain than I already had. I just retired 11 months ago & did lots of walking working at Walmart. Best shoes that half way helped were skechers. I have boxes of shoes. Wear them once & right back in box. Living now on social security can't afford any more shoes.
@@genericqueen It sounds like you know your body (and feet) well enough to know what works and doesn't work. I'm glad you're still able to work out to keep yourself healthy despite the foot pain.
Great workout again. Love that it is a bit longer but still less than an hour, fits in well with my schedule. Thank you 😀
I am due to make some longer workouts again...
Wow, hat was a cardio and a half! I wanted a robust cardio and Jules, you didn't disappoint!
Thanks for anoher great one!
Thanks Valerie!
I Feel like I write the same thing each time-love the music and the workout, love to say affirmations while I work out too. Thank you for sharing 😉💪♥️
It doesn't matter if you write the same thing:) Thank you for taking the time to comment. I appreciate it!
My first time joining you this year!! And a different exercise this time too. thanks for your help with keeping me fit 😃
Thanks for joining me! You'll have lots of new videos to go through:)
I really love this one! I have heart problems but I am ok to exercise to what works for me and this does. Thank you for all you do for us!!!🌹
Thanks for letting me know you really enjoyed this one and that it works for you:)
Thanks jules have a great day fantastic workout love it❤❤❤❤
Thanks Lorraine:)
An older one but just what I needed this morning! I love this slightly longer workout and picked up my two pound weights for some of it to add a bit more sweatiness 😊. I had some extra Christmas carbs to burn! Happy New Year to you and yours, Jules!
Thank you!
Such a pleasure to join you on these workouts. It’s a joy to watch you. Thanks
Thanks for your lovely comment.
I am dancing with you ever since I found you ! Thanks!
Lol, I love your comment. Thank you!
Can’t believe I’ve never done this one! Loved it thank you so much ❤️
Thanks Trish!
Hi Jules just done this 2mile dance work out it was fantastic loved the music 🎵🎶 thank you 💓💓😁
Thanks Jean!
I love this! There are some parts that I substitute like the knee ups but I continue. I love the amount of time on this one and the stretches at the end. I hope you continue to be on TH-cam because it has made such a change for me. Thank you so much!❤
Thank you so much for letting me know how much you're enjoying the workouts, Evelyn. Your comment is very meaningful to me. Thank you!!!
I was going to go for my 2 mile walk but its still dark outside this morning. This dance workout is perfect alternative. Thanks
These darker mornings are a bit tough to take...the time change tonight should help:) Thanks for joining me today!
Thank you for reminding us to tighten our abs!
I'll try to remember to continue to put reminders for viewers. Thanks for that feedback:)
LOVED this one! Thanks for all you do! ❤
Thanks so much, Catherine.
Hi this was an excellent work out. I am 60 with health issues and was thrilled i could complete it. My one request is to let us know the upcoming exercise so the changeover is smooth. Today i lost a few seconds moving into the next one. A lot of your videos do have... Coming up next...which helps😊
Hi Ruth, I wasn't experienced enough with editing when I created this one, but in all of my workouts now I have a preview window to help with the transition. Unfortunately when videos are already up, I can't edit them. Hopefully you'll enjoy the newer videos with the preview window:)
Thank you Jules
I still LOVE this workout AND the music!!❤
Aww, thank you SO much for letting me know. 💖
i didn't think i could go further than 30mins with my mild ongoing back probs but i did it, so far twice. i like that u can dance every 2nd half min through out the entire workout here. mind you there are some i cannot do due to my back still recovering and regaining strength but it's really great that you inform your audience to change a certain movement if they cannot do the ones you're doing for something more for our liking instead due to this and that we might be going through physically. i do like the raising the knee high to the chest as i feel i need to work on my hamstrings, another reason why i feel my back stiff but hey, we're getting there! this may be my favorite workout vid so far in this channel, there are still a lot more vids to check out that's for sure. thank you!
I’m glad to read that you’re enjoying this one and modifying moves as needed. In regards to your back, I have some seated core workouts that might help to strengthen your core. You can find them in the ‘core workouts’ playlist. Also, I like that you enjoy dancing!
Afternoon Jules really enjoyed this work out again just love the music and it did make me smile thank you 💞😭 xx
Thanks Jean. Wishing you a great day!
Another awesome workout. Thank you.
Brilliant loved this thank you once again for a fab workout
Thanks Shirley!
Thank you loved it . Although I’m a little tired now . Have done all my steps for the day . Go5 in bed last night and realised I hadn’t done my steps, so got up and finished them .Must be mad🤣
Lol! Wow! You are motivated and determined, Marion! I can't imagine getting out of bed to complete more steps (well, then again, it is something I might do!). It's great that you have a goal in mind for each day, and that you work to reach your goals.
Totally awesome-Love Love Love-thank you.
Thanks so much for your comment, Denise (it definitely made me smile). ❤️
Thank you again ! This is a perfect workout ! Loved it
I'm glad to read that you enjoyed it. Thanks for letting me know! I hope the exercise is helping:)
You are the best thank you for doing this!❤
Thank you so much.❤️
Can’t wait to do this new one.
Thank you!
Thanks Heide!
Love the ones with music!!
Thank you for letting me know:)
Another great day with you!!
Aw, thank you!!!
I enjoyed this a lot! I added some arm movements because My arms felt a little stiff (probably from swimming yesterday) and it helped loosen them up. I loved all of the dancing.
I'm glad you enjoyed the swim and worked out the sore muscles today:)
What a great workout! Thank you.
Thank you!
I like your choice of song "I just can't give up" nearly at the end and then you start kicking your legs up high in the air. Show off! Haha.
Good one (again). Thanks
Oh my gosh, I actually truly laughed out loud reading your comment (still laughing actually). Thank you for that!
Wow quite intense the 2 miles thank You.
But you did it:)
Beautiful work out 👏 👌 I feel great. Thank you
Thanks Caroline!
That was a fabulous work out!Thank you again.
Thanks Maureen!
This was the best ones of all I have done with u luv it luv it ☺️
Thanks so much Diana!
Thanks for the great workout. I did it as an active recovery day. I guess this fits that parameter. If not, let me know and I'll rearrange my day.
Hi! An active recovery day can be different for everybody depending on their fitness level. If you usually do a lot more for working out in a day, then this could be recovery:)
I found you just two days ago and I am so pumped after doing this and a couple of other videos...thank you so much! I am really looking forward to doing all of your videos, and plan on incorporating these into my daily exercise routine. I am not new to exercise, but having had life hit me pretty hard in the last 18 months, it is time to get back in the saddle, so to speak. Thank you again!
Welcome to my channel, Frieda! I am thrilled that you are pumped to work out again...I always hope to get people interested in exercise so reading your comment definitely puts a smile on my face. I am sorry to hear about the last 18 months. I hope things improve for you soon and that exercise helps you to lift you up emotionally, as well as physically. 💗
Thank you for the water break and the stretching....often skip both if not monitored 🙏when the screen said"grapevine up next",; waited a bit for some gossip😂...brain was depleted of O2 I think!!!!
But hey, completed 2 miles with you( minus a few glitches).. Gratitude!
Glad to hear you completed it!
agradecida por tus videos!!!
Thank you!
Love this one too!
Thanks Jill!
Great workout! Thanks!
Thank you once again. I thought this would be good as usual. Enjoyed it thoroughly but was certainly glad to read the part where you indicated the slow down has started :) you worked us. Thank you.
Lol, yes, it is always nice to know when we have finished the hard part and on to the cool-down:)
So happy I came across your channel!! ❤❤
Aw, thank you so much, Esta. I appreciate that. I'm glad you found me!
Thanks again.
I just can’t give up!
Lol, that made me laugh. For anyone else reading this...it's only because there is a song in the workout called, 'I just can't give up'. I don't want someone thinking I am being rude! Thank you Liz:)
Merci beaucoup et bon dimanche 🌞
Merci Marie!
Great workout!!! Thank you
Its very beautiful keep going ❤️❤️❤️❤️
I just love this video and the music as it really helps me stay motivated. Thanks for all of your videos but this is one of my favourites.
Thanks for letting me know it’s one of your faves:) Puts a smile on my face!
Amazing, thank you so much, keep them coming. Thank you :)
Thank you!!!
5/31/24 workout. This is one of my go to’s when I want a longer workout.
Thanks for letting me know that, Tessa.
Love this one!!!!
Thanks Shanna!
thanks so very much...loved this one. keep me going, please. hahaha
Thank you!
Thank you Julie! Awesome workout. I was wondering if you can do a short video for triceps, losing flabby arms. I did this video most part with 3 lbs weights in my hand. ❤❤❤but I need to loose my flabby parts of my arms
You and me included! I have not been genetically blessed in that area so I work my triceps often to try to get them less flabby. I'll see what I can do to create a new arms workout.
@@ImprovedHealth ohhh!! You are awesome. Thank you thank you thank you😄😄😄
