Jules, This series has meant so much to me. I never thought it was possible for a 74 year old woman to get fit or get strong and you have proved me wrong on both counts. I have a long way to go but I'm really excited and proud to have a good head start! Thanks to you, the sky is the limit!
Hullo Jules...you can motivate even the laziest of persons to choose progress over excuses💕 Today's segment was excellent...loved the incorporated moves...thank you for the kegels and the extra stretching..lovely! Thank you sincerely ....see you tomorrow 😊
Great workout, thank you. I enjoyed the newer exercises and laughed out loud when you said 'these are tough' - the same words had just popped into my head too! Looking forward to the rest of the week and being able to keep it going in future. Many thanks 😊
Lol, I'm glad to read that you enjoyed it and that you got a laugh out of it, too:) I also LOVE to read that you have a plan to keep going with the strength workouts in the future. 💪
Good morning Jules!! I love this session so much and just the biggest thank you for the few minutes of melt. Oh my goodness it was SO needed on my end. I love the floor work so much and I clearly need more of that 😂 Have a fantastic rest of your day and see you tomorrow 🌈❤️🌈
Thanks so much, Mala. I'm glad to read that you enjoyed the floor work...I'm always torn on how much floor work to do but hopefully those who can't do it, will realize it's doable standing or in a chair.
Hi Jules: It's funny, every morning before I get out of bed I do the stretches you taught us today. I actually start with 100 bicycles moves in the air and then I do the stretches. Since I do this I have barely any problems with my lower back. Plus your exercises every day. Thanks. Keep going so I can too.
I choose for progress and will make this at least twice a day plus a cardio from now on. Jules, thanks for all the efforts you invested in these videos. If I have success and lots of joy in my skying after Christmas then it will be only for you.
It sounds like you are on a bit of a mission to get strong and fit...that's great, Helga!

@@ImprovedHealth Am I a bit tough, aren't I? This is because I hate my flabby arms and wrinkled skin on the arms (i am rather on the slim side (180/66). I hope for the best for those flabby upper arms of mine.
This is a very good set of exercises. When I'm practising balance, I often stop the film and don't look at the screen so that I can concentrate as much as possible on the particular more difficult part of the balance exercise. Personally and subjectively, I think there are the most important 3 types of exercise that we should do every day if possible at a mature age. 1 Balance. 2. squats. 3. strength exercises to strengthen the arms and wrists. Thank you so much Jules for the great exercises.💛
I agree with the approach to balance...I often have to stare at something as well to keep my balance. Something I also need to work on:) And yes, strength & balance are definitely super important (and unfortunately not done enough by most people).
@@ImprovedHealth Fortunately, you, Jules, remember to include these types of exercises in your training as often as possible, mentioned by me. For which we thank you.💛
Thanks Jules for fabulous day 21. I am glad this time you did squats with weights. Enjoyed doing all the exercises. You understand the need for old age. Balance gets very crucial as we age so does the Kegel exercises. The beauty of kegel exercises is you can do these anywhere. Thanks for this segment with a variation. Stay blessed❤
My goal is always toward progress. Loved this routine, and as usual, I worked harder than what was expected. Had to put the video on pause a few times. I don't do floor work because getting up isn't at all easy with those knees of mine, so I had to improvise. It's what I do anyway with my exercises so why not the stretches? Happy, happy is how I feel right now!...Anastasia
I made it through the whole workout, even the 50 second plank. For some reason, I always come out of plank into child's pose; it's a good way to rest after doing something really difficult. Thanks again for these workouts-- my husband noticed that I no longer struggle to get over the dog fence, he said this morning that I walked right over it without any problem.
Thanks for Day 1 of Week 5. I really do love the Pilates inspired theme. Pilates was how I started working out. The balance is getting better but I have a ways to go before I can do the all moves with the knee up and doing the lateral shoulder with weights. Progress not perfection.
Jules I really appreciate this series. I have difficulty with some of the squats but manage to modify some of the squat moves. I was surprised that I was able to keep up with the plank and increase my time gradually. I usually look at the videos on TV and was not aware that you linked the entire series in the comments section. Thanks, I look forward to continuing to get stronger.
Hi! I always write a description under the video and attach links if it is part of a series so it helps viewers to find them easier (a lot of people don't realize creators have descriptions under videos). I also have playlists on the channel where you can find workouts categorized into fitness levels (if that helps). As for the squats, I think a lot of people struggle with them, but they definitely get easier over time. Be kind to yourself, take your time and understand that every little bit that you do will help to improve your strength. You'll get stronger every week if you continue to repeat week 5. Building strength definitely takes time and over the weeks you'll really start to notice change and improvement.
Thank you Jules loved day 21 ! Not always a fan of floor stretches but stayed down and thoroughly enjoyed them! My body thanks you! Blessings to all! Thanks for the tip to continue on 5th week until stronger! 🙏🙏🙏
Another great work out. Enjoyed the stretches at the end. As I've said before I like how you add cardio videos at the end. I have a tendency to do the same ones over and over. The one you picked today was one I think I bury for some reason. Could it be the jogging? 🤔😉 It definitely gets on a good sweat. So excited for the rest of the week. Thank you as always. 😊
I always love your feedback, Carrie. Thank you for that. As for the intervals...lol, yes, you may very well avoid them but they are SO good to kickstart the metabolism and challenge the body. When I originally wanted to lose weight in my mid-20's, intervals is what made the weight fall off quickly. Btw, you don't have to jog in the intervals. You can choose to walk as fast as you can instead. Thanks for letting me know that you're looking forward to the rest of this week.😊
Thank you for these videos. I know they take time and energy to produce. A friend tuned me into you, and there is now a group of six working their way through your videos. We are going at our own paces, encouraging each other, and found even more of your videos to chat about. Thank you for keeping the pace challenging, but not too difficult as we age. I am truly blessed to have found you as I a, becoming the strongest Nana I can be.
Oh wow, what a wonderful comment to read. Thank you so much for taking the time to let me know that you and friends are enjoying the workouts. That definitely puts a big ol' smile on my face:) I'm guessing you've realized it, but in case you haven't, just to let you know that I create 3 levels of workouts (gentle, beginner and intermediate). You can find them all categorized in the playlists on my channel, as well as on my website (www.improvedhealthforseniors.com). Say hi to your workout friends for me and welcome to my channel!
I just started repeating the program. Although, have used weights for awhile, it was a struggle to get motivated. Because each session is shorter, I am enjoying it. Thanks for creating it.
Most excellent motivational at the end. Sooooo true. Everyone who has stuck with this (and by comments, that's a lot of people), must be feeling proud by now. Thank you for the Kegels. I know you have an early 2023 session with them. I can't find it. Help, please!
@@ImprovedHealth Going by memory, the Kegels were added to either a posture or flexibility video from early in this year. I commented on it so will just keep going through your workouts to see if I can find it. You did add them to last week of the strengthening sessions which is the week we're to repeat to continue our progress, so I'll be getting them in. Thanks to you, I'm reminded how important they are, so now am incorporating them throughout the day (while brushing teeth, blow drying hair, etc.) Thank you.
@@chrisperkins6403 I've created so many videos that it's hard for me to remember what is in each one.😳For the last month or so, I've been writing everything down so it'll be easier for me to find specific exercises when people ask. I know I included them in this strength series towards the end but otherwise, I don't remember. I'll soon have a video for you that I think you might appreciate if you're looking for pelvic floor exercises:)
@@ImprovedHealth Yes! I'm at the end of the strength series so the Kugels popped up again there. I frequently skip around your videos to find ones I haven't tried so it's more than likely that what I think was new for 2023 was one I'd missed. Just so you know, I asked because I thought it was a relatively easy workout and wanted to share it with my cancer-fighting friend. I'm grateful you've made soooo many videos you can't recall each one! If I come across it, I'll let you know so you can add it to the list you're making . . . in case someone else inquires. 😊
Hi Jules! I accicentally skipped 21 and did 22 first, so I am making up for it today. The warmup that I did (20 minute drumming cardio) prepared me for this really well with squats and jogging, and I think it made this a little easier. Either way it it felt pretty good to do this one, so thanks for both!
Thank you for letting me know that you're enjoying this series. I don't have a master list written down...sorry! There is always so much for me to put together when creating these so adding a list into the description is another thing to add to the list.
As usual I skipped the abs at the end, did them on a separate video and did 3 more sets for the legs because it was leg day for me...I did the Kegels during the plank.....I try to get in as much as I can.
I'm defo keeping week 5 to repeat. I enjoy lying leg ones so much more. I think you feel it more. Huge thanks for Kegel exercise what a very thoughtful exercise. You think of everything. I really do feel much stronger and think I might need buy more weights lol. I feel better in myself...I feel stronger and more balanced when walking..it's amazing. After I finish this series is there another you would recommend from your library?
Thanks Allyson. I've written recommendations in a blog post for continuing strength sessions and also in the description (under the video) on day 25. I highly recommend lumping an upper and lower body strength workout together to do twice a week to keep seeing positive results and improvements in strength. You can choose different ones each time from week 4 and 5.
@@allysonewart6643 Honestly, there are so many options to what you can do. Ideally you want to work the muscles at least twice a week. You can either lump together an upper body and lower body workout together for one full body strength workout along with a cardio workout in one day. Or, you can do a cardio workout and add just upper body and then the next day do a cardio workout and add the upper body. The all-in-ones are great since they combine everything but the 25 day program does give extra strength exercises. I'll be making an intermediate schedule for March soon and will put that up on my website next week. That will give you a better idea of what to do:)
Aw brilliant I will look forward to that. I do love your all in one workout that do it all then I add on if I feel I need more. I found an amazing 7 minutes arm one you have here on you tube, so I'm trying it soon. Thank you for all your advice. It's so much appreciated xx
Day 21 complete ✔️ ! I'm feeling good after this workout. I don't eat processed foods, and because of that, I spend a decent amount of time in the kitchen. Also, I had 3 ten pound babies via cesarean sections, and I am not built for extra large babies. So, ya know, I have torso tissue that will be there forever. I call it the baby cavern, 😂😅 so when I put my apron on this weekend, I was pleasantly surprised that when I tied it, the bow was bigger. My actual waistline has decreased at least an inch since I started this program. Thanks as always, for the workouts Jules. I have a question: Why should we not clang the weights together? I usually don't, but there is something satisfying about it.
AMAZING!!! I love reading about progress. Sometimes the scale doesn’t move much but it’s non-scale victories like what you mentioned that make us realize we’re progressing. As for 10 lb babies, wow! Thank goodness for the c-sections.😏 In regards to the clanging of the weights, it’s okay depending on your weights. Some cheaper ones will drop metal, etc. off the weights which could get into your eyes. I also tend to teach that since it can be incredibly annoying at a gym when people do that. If you’re at home, clang away:)
@@ImprovedHealth, I never thought of any of that! More knowledge! I only work out at home with you and one other exercise goddess, so I can clang if I want to! 😁😂 Plus, my weights are rubber coated, so I am safe from debris.
Jules, This series has meant so much to me. I never thought it was possible for a 74 year old woman to get fit or get strong and you have proved me wrong on both counts. I have a long way to go but I'm really excited and proud to have a good head start! Thanks to you, the sky is the limit!
Thank you SO much for your comment, Valerie. I am incredibly excited for you to see what IS possible.
Kegels??? Seriously...YOU. ARE. THE BEST!!!!! THANK YOU for including them! So easily forgotten and yet, so vital! 😅
Lol, I think 99% of us forget to do them because they are muscles we don’t see. I’m happy to hear that you enjoyed having them included.❤️
Kegels are a lot cheaper than Depends.
Day 21, excited for the last week, don’t want to stop. Real difference!
Oh, excellent!!! It definitely feels good getting stronger. 💪
Hullo Jules...you can motivate even the laziest of persons to choose progress over excuses💕
Today's segment was excellent...loved the incorporated moves...thank you for the kegels and the extra stretching..lovely!
Thank you sincerely ....see you tomorrow 😊
Thank you, Anuradha.🫂

100 bicycles? That's great, Annemarie! You'll have super woman abs soon:) I'm glad to read that you value the stretches and enjoy doing them as well.🤗
Many thanks Jules. Thoroughly enjoyed todays session. Now already looking forward to tomorrow. In my 70’s watching from Spain 😊
Beautiful Spain...lucky you! Thanks so much for letting me know that you enjoyed this and looking forward to more:)❤️
wow! Still tough but I did them all! I can't wait for the day when they are not so tough and I can move forward! Thanks for the big challenge, Jules!
That will happen with consistency and patience:)

The plank is definitely tough but I'm glad to read that you are noticing improvements. I love that you are looking forward to more strength benefits.
