I must really commend you for your own way of going in these videos, never show-boating, yet strong, steady, consistent and committed. Words only go so far, but seeing is believing and your authenticity in the pleasure of movement is plain for us to see. Just when I feel like, "ugh, don't I need to do the dishes or something?" you smile and keep moving, your joy in sharing is transmitted and the correct half of my brain says 'Oh no, why would you EVER want to walk away from this? Keep going, you can do it!" Yes, words are effective, but you yourself, Jules, leading us with your own happiness is THE KEY. Thank you ever so much!
Oh wow, you literally made me tear up (that doesn't happen often!). Thank you for your incredible feedback. I always hope my videos will inspire people to move, to enjoy exercise, and to realize that adding in healthy movement means a better future as we age. Thank you from the bottom of my heart for taking the time to express your thoughts and feelings about the workouts I create, and the journey I am on with the hope of making a difference.🫂🥰
Thank you I really appreciate your videos. I wake up every morning at 4:45 to get these videos in so that I can have a healthy lifestyle. I've been on a weight loss journey since February. I was 312 pounds. I am now currently 256.
Happy New Year 2025!!! Wishing the community “Improved Health” and blessings in the year ahead! Celebrate every small victory and keep looking forward!🎉❤🎉
I kept listening to Jimmy Dugan (the Tom Hanks character in "A League of Their Own") as he said to Dottie, "It's supposed to be hard. If it wasn't hard everyone would do it. The 'hard' is what makes it great." This one was hard...but it was GREAT!
I was gone from here for about 3 weeks with a stomach flu and ended up in ER because doc said I was low on potassium from dehydration so that's why it's important to stay hydrated even when you don't feel thirsty. I kept working out a little anyway and I just finished this workout and it was great. Glad to be back! Thanks for keeping me motivated!
Oh wow! I'm glad to read that you're better now and also understand the importance of staying hydrated (especially when doing these workouts). I find it's best to keep a reusable water bottle beside me in the day to ensure I drink enough. It's so easy to forget to drink enough if the water isn't beside us. By having the bottle, it also allows you to see how much (or how little) you're drinking.
Water alone is not enough! Make sure it has electrolytes and gatorade doesn’t count. Obviously check with your doctor, but if you’re sweating a lot, you’re also losing a lot of sodium. Make sure you take care of yourself and stay hydrated 💕
I drink water(filtered) with lemon juice, really works well for me! Thank you for sharing your videos, they are all excellent! I do use a little Himalayan pink sea salt with my lemon water.
So grateful for you, Jules! Twice in the last two wks, although I exercised with you in the mornings, I had less active days & still needed to get some steps in. Your smile, enthusiasm & positive spirit got me up & moving to do this 5000 step video ( starting at 8:30pm, no less...already many times my bedtime😂😴)...with a smile! Now I'm ready for bed! Thank you❤
Didn't feel like working out today - found this video online and it was perfect for this 62 year old - the short intervals are just right, the music uplifting and love the positive messaging.
I'm so glad to read that you enjoyed this one, Sylvie. Welcome to my channel and thank you for letting me know that you're new here. Just to help you navigate the channel, I create 3 levels of workouts (gentle, beginner and intermediate) and categorize them all into the playlists. If you enjoyed this one, you can find plenty more at this same level under the 'intermediate level' playlists. I hope you enjoy more of the workouts when you try them out.
I did it! Wasn’t going to - just 10 minutes I said to myself. Couldn’t stop, lovely moves and music and lots of happy vibes coming through the screen. Jules, you really are a star.
Oh, AMAZING!!! I love that you started with the plan for 10 min, yet finished it! I often suggest to people to promise yourself to do 10 minutes, because it's enough to get energized...and then people usually do more.
I just can't get over the positivity that flows through these workouts. It's only a week since I found this channel and already my anxiety and overall mood has improved. I love the little reminders to find gratitude and the uplifting music as well as the exercises. Really enjoyable.
I loved doing this workout! I don’t think I’ve ever smiled so much while I’m exercising. I felt like I was having a little dance party in my living room!
Thank you! Another great video that I thought I would never get through, but you kept me interested and motivated - and I did it! Which means I can do it again tomorrow too! I;m going to live forever at this rate!
love this. just perfect for me this rainy afternoon. First time doing a workout this long but totally enjoyed it. been following you since August last year, and with a healthy diet and your workouts I've manage to lose 2 and half stone, I'm so happy. thank you for your amazing videos don't know what I would have done without you ❤🥰
Oh Jules! This is pure gold, could have been tailor-made for me! It is the perfect length for a rest-from-strength-training day, and so uplifting and fun! I thought it would be a good day when I saw the new video, and it just got better and better! I know we bring the commitment, but you give us the motivation, encouragement and fantastic workouts. Thank you so much 😊
I did not get a chance to work out today, but decided to do this workout video in the evening after my little one went to bed. Thank you so much for a healthy, energizing workout that made me feel good about the choices I am making to support my health goals! I always love your workout videos. Keep them coming! ❤

I can't tell you how much I appreciate your videos. I was a very healthy 71 year old in January and worked out 5 times a week with weights, cardio and stretching routines until I was hit with cancer. Two major surgeries and 3 rounds of brutal chemo left me a wreck. Once I got the go-ahead to start exercising again I found your workouts and they have been a godsend in getting me back into shape. Just did this one for the first time and it was great! Thank you sooooo much from Vancouver Island!
Hi Valerie, thank you SO much for taking the time to message me. I'm so glad to read that you're healthy again, able to exercise and that you're enjoying the various workouts. I hope you continue to enjoy what I create. Btw, I love Vancouver Island...definitely a beautiful place to live (I'm in Ottawa).
52 and teach middle school - next year they need me to be the DANCE teacher too! Science Art and now a mid day workout for this girl, see you every morning before school 😊Thank you! And your Music Rocks as usual!
11.25.24 Monday used your music as the background to my strength training, then stretching afterwards. Thank you! Will come back for a walk perhaps tomorrow.
5,000 felt like 500! You are the deejay of walking the way you mix up the moves and add just the right music. The one legged double side kicks were great as were the jumping jack double front kicks. Also always appreciate the written motivation and water breaks. Starting off this beautiful new week feeling "in the pink" (just like your colors in today's workout). 💖
Thanks Chris! I enjoyed choosing and mixing up a lot of my favourite songs in the playlist (that was my job Saturday morning!). Thanks for letting me know what you enjoyed about the workout.
Great workout. By doing your workouts 3x's a week I have really increased my cardio resistance. At 79 I need all the help I can get and your walking videos do the trick. Keept them coming
I love your workouts!!! I’m 63 years young and I feel great! I have been doing your workouts for 3 months ! The full body workout has a great variety of moves! I have tried other well known walk at home workouts and my hips start to ache but with your workouts that never happens whether it’s a short or longer workout. I am sharing your channel with all my friends! God bless you and your family 🙌🏻.
You did it again, Jules. LOVE this one. Perfect length, fun, gets my heart pumping and your encouragement keeps me moving. I laughed when you did the little finger wag with the lyrics from the Shine by Jaslyn Edgar, "...You, always thought that you were weak but babe you're wrong." 🤣
This is going to be perfect for me. I live in Florida, and it is already too hot to walk outside so I will be able to walk and still feel like I have done something. This is also my first time doing your workout I feel great. Thank you and can't till I am able to move up to the next level.

Awesome workout for a rainy Saturday morning! Fun music, beautiful “scenery” , and your inspirational motivation and smile that makes it so fun to “move” 😁!! Thanks Jules!!
Morning Jules! I haven't commented in a while but I'm still here loving your workouts. This 40 minute one is awesome! 2 1/2 miles, 5000 steps & your old songs! Great workout! I'll be doing this one over & over. Thanks for all you do with your smiling, dancing self!
The walk flew by in the blink of an eye! The coach is wonderful, the music is wonderful! I realized that I could easily walk even 10,000. Thank you, thank you, my dear and most beloved coach!
Just wanted to mention that I really liked the segments with the 5 second alternating walking and jogging. Great way to get some jogging in while being kind to my knees. Thanks
This is awesome. I've been doing your videos for almost a month and down ten pounds. I feel great everyday. I love the part about the song and breaking up with bad habits. Thank you for making a difference.
I LOVE how you have taken such good care of your fitness that you can continue to enjoy longer workouts into your 80's. Amazing and I hope you are proud of what you can do!
Good Morning Jules...really enjoyed this workout. Great to hear some of the older music, do love the new music as well. So grateful for the time and energy you take in making these workout videos for us to stay healthy and focused. God has blessed you with this ability, keep us going as long as you can....take care and God Bless.....Anne
We've had contractors in all week so this is the first day I've had more than 1/2 hour to exercise-- I really didn't feel the time pass, it was really fun and I love the older music--"you always thought that you were weak but babe, you're wrong" is exactly right. The things I can do now that I couldn't do two years ago are amazing thanks to you. Thanks for this great video and I hope your day is awesome, too!
I'm glad you were able to get in this workout with all the work going on in your house right now. So exciting to get renos done, but so stressful and busy at the same time! Thanks for the feedback about the song...I totally agree. I love that one, too and always hope my viewers take in the words like you did.
It's been a minute since I last did one of your workouts. Between doom scrolling and the oppressive heat here in the NE USA, I was having a hard time exercising. Thankfully I remembered your workouts that I can do in my cool basement! This was a good workout - my arms will tell that tomorrow. Looking forward to seeing your smiling face and motivational quotes in a day or two! Thanks for doing what you do, Jules.
Morning jules what a amazing work you just what i needed today I'm going through a bit of a bad time a the moment love the new moves and it was lovely to hear the old songs 🎵 doing it again tomorrow thank you ❤❤❤❤😊
I wanted to quit but I didn’t. I slowed down a bit the second half and was able to complete the whole workout. I am extremely proud of myself lately for sticking with my daily workouts and choosing longer ones as well. There is such a variety! Thank you Jules, for making it possible for seniors especially. I wouldn’t feel this good without you!😊💛
Hullo Jules! Thank you for all your efforts in putting together this big workout, which was made fun and doable by: your cheerful encouragement, the lovely mix-up of moves( esp the sneaky inclusion of intervals ;)), great music, and thoughtful water breaks. You are the best!!! Wishing you an awesome week ahead❤
Hi! It has been for a while that I did your excercises......always promised myself I shall continue...but NOW having found this , no more excuses!!! I shall do the workouts again!! Thanks!
Tabata, thank you for making workouts fun and possible. And thank you for your little messages on the screen and for smiling at us during the video. To me that's like fuel! ❤❤❤
My sister introduced me to the Improved Health workouts and I am so glad she did. There is something for no matter how I am feeling at the moment. I love the encouraging notes. Thank you so much!
love the calendar I dont have to waste time looking for the workout i want to do and ill cover all bases when i do the weeks workouts i like the 30 sec intervals and the upbeat music and you always look like you are having a good time time flies by quickly THank you
I am loving this!!! I am so happy that you move to the beat of the music so it's easy to follow. I can hardly tolerate ones who are way off beat. This is really working my entire body. Thank you.
Thanks Tina! I think most of us actually do move to the beat...it's during the editing process that sometimes throws it off (it's really difficult to match the music perfectly to the steps since the music gets added in while editing). I can't tell you how much time I've spent listening over and over to the music while watching my feet to match it up. Anyway, just a bit of side info of how the process works:) I'm glad that you enjoyed this one!
Thank you for subscribing! I'm glad to see you've tried another workout and enjoyed it. The 'intermediate level' (the hardest ones I create) can all be found categorized together into the playlists.
Thanks, Jules! My health is improving! After a couple of months of doing your workouts, I actually WANT to workout daily. I would never have desired to attempt a 40 minute workout a few months ago, but now I love the positive mood I’m gaining by moving my body. I’m stronger, have more stamina, losing weight, dropped a clothing size, and I really look forward to exercising after at least 35 years of neglecting my body. Thank you from the bottom of my stronger ❤️.
I absolutely loved your comment and feedback, Jennifer! You have mentioned all the great reasons of why I encourage movement and exercise everyday. Thank you for taking the time to express how the workouts have helped.💪
I’m pretty much a beginner to working out. I was very sick for a long time and put on weight, had muscle wastage and was feeling rotten. I started with your beginner workouts and have gradually made it to 5,000 steps! I’m so grateful to you, you’ve helped me more than you can ever know. Your style is perfect for me, thank you xxx
WOW! You have really progressed in the past month! Congrats for working out consistently to be able to see such awesome progress. Thank you VERY much for letting me know that you're enjoying the workouts and that they have made a difference. Congrats to you for your hard work to take control of your health and fitness.💪
🎉Thank you so much for making these videos. I made an agreement with myself this year to move my body more than last year. You are helping me immensely. I am 66 and giving my body and especially my lungs a good workout 5-6 days per week. COPD is not getting in the way of my enjoyment of living. Thanks for the great energy you bring! It's beautiful! 😅❤
I love that you made an agreement with yourself. Taking care of our bodies is the best thing we can do for ourselves. Thank you for your thoughtful comment.🥰
I was actually telling someone at work today all about my adventures in Australia many years ago from Darwin, all the way around the coast, through the Outback and over to the west coast.
I'm in love with your videos. I started doing your beegees video 8 weeks post my 2nd c section to ease into working out. Im now 9 months postpartum and now I do this one every morning before work. Sometimes my two year old will walk next to me. Can you please make a 6k or 7k steps one? I'd love the extra boost but can only do the 10ks on the weekends. I absolutely love the no talking (not anything against you❤) and the preview before the next workout. I've recommended you to so many people, especially my pregnant, obese, and older friends. Even my parents in their 60s. You're wonderful!
I said "aww" after reading your first line...then I said it again as I continued reading...and then again, Corrie! Thank you for your incredibly meaningful and touching message. It's tough for me to make the longer workouts (I work full-time outside of what I do on YT, and have two daughters who are 11 and 13). But, I will do my best to make the time to do it when I can. Btw, I'm not offended about the no-talking comment at all...I only enjoy working out to no-talking vids as well. A massive thank you for telling others about my channel!🫂
Another great workout We just need to see the workout as an investment - investment in our health cos Health is Wealth 💖 And thanks to the workout, I hit more than 5K steps 😘
Oh yess Cynthia we did it 🎉 and I feel sooooo good! Every minute was perfect julie!❤ even if this morning at 7h I did a 30 min 😮 I cood not wait tomorrow to do this one. So I did it at 1:45 in the afternoon 😅 maybe tomorrow will be 3 times 15min or 20 min 😊. Thank you sooo much Jules and Have a goood week 🌟💐🥕🫐😅 we will all be positives this week! Oh oui! 🌞
I was so tired and trying to decide which walking workout to do. I have been walking 10000 steps. Yesterday, in one of your other workouts, this lady said that she does 5k, 3k then 2k in that order. I liked that idea and will be following it as it gives me a discipline to follow. Today, I just did the feet, not the arms as i was really very tired as i had previously said. I loved the Water Break in big letters, it made me happy as i felt that someone was exercising with me, i loved the positive sayings except they are too small for me to read so i had to stop the workout, put on my glasses in order to read the sayings. Wish you would make the writing bigger. These positive sayings are what kept me walking. Also love "Be Proud" at the end, it did make me proud. I still have to do 3k and 2k, however, the biggest one was done. I also remember a saying that as you get older, you need to keep active, that saying keeps me going as well. :)
I really appreciate your feedback...thank you! I actually started making the font a little bigger in my past 3 workouts. I'm so glad to read that the positive quotes help. I also like the idea of the 5, 3, 2 format. Just so you know, I also have workout calendars on my website which I create every month. A lot of people find those really helpful to stay on track. www.improvedhealthforseniors.com

Yes I can do it AND I DID IT. WOO HOO ! This was the third one of your exercises this morning!! I’m proud of myself. And thank you for excellent work outs. The best part is no talking !👏👏👏👏
I had a great time working out this morning! Your happy energy is always uplifting and motivating. I feel great afterward! And though it's in your workouts often, that last song really hit me this morning. THANK YOU!
Thank you so much for your great comment and feedback. I love 'Shine'. I haven't used it in a while and I feel it has a lot of meaning for different scenarios in each of our lives. I always hope it means something to someone, and helps.
Started following you some time late last Spring. It was tough when it got so hot and humid during the summer. I started this year telling myself no excuses! Enjoy the different lengths of your videos, as sometimes I have time to do more and sometimes less. Thank you for your positive words of encouragement.😊❤️👍🏻
I'm so glad to read that you're committed to taking care of your health, and not allowing excuses. When I see a lot of frail seniors, I always wish they would have worked out and not given excuses, either. Getting older doesn't mean getting weak. We can absolutely be strong as we age if we just keep at it.

I'm recovering from abdominal surgery and these workouts give me the daily exercise I need and put me in a great mood. Thank you for your amazing videos and for your warm smile ❤

Wahoo! We did it. You, me, and all those other thousands who are out there following you. 🌈
Congrats for completing it, Cynthia!
Thank you I really appreciate your videos. I wake up every morning at 4:45 to get these videos in so that I can have a healthy lifestyle. I've been on a weight loss journey since February. I was 312 pounds. I am now currently 256.
AMAZING!!!!!!! A massive congrats to you for your hard work and perseverance.

I love the way you add short messages of encouragement on screen. I'm not sure how it works but they give me a little energy boost.
Thank you for letting me know that.
Me too

I agree, it all helps to lift the spirits.
Jules, I did this workout to celebrate my 73rd birthday. Felt great and I got over 6000 steps. Now back to the Olympics!-Claudia
Happy birthday!!! I wish you a wonderful 73rd year!
Many happy returns - I’ll be 74 (😳) in four weeks time, so from one septuagenarian to another, many blessings from the UK. ❤️
I was gone from here for about 3 weeks with a stomach flu and ended up in ER because doc said I was low on potassium from dehydration so that's why it's important to stay hydrated even when you don't feel thirsty. I kept working out a little anyway and I just finished this workout and it was great. Glad to be back! Thanks for keeping me motivated!
Oh wow! I'm glad to read that you're better now and also understand the importance of staying hydrated (especially when doing these workouts). I find it's best to keep a reusable water bottle beside me in the day to ensure I drink enough. It's so easy to forget to drink enough if the water isn't beside us.

Oh my goodness, I absolutely LOVE your comment. Thank you so much for sharing that with me.💃
Thank you! Another great video that I thought I would never get through, but you kept me interested and motivated - and I did it! Which means I can do it again tomorrow too!
I;m going to live forever at this rate!
Lol, I love your comment, Ruth.💖
A few weeks' ago, I could not even think of jogging for less than a minute! Today, I was able to do all the jogging sections with ease. Thank you.
Amazing progress!!! Just think of what you’ll be able to accomplish as each day goes on!
I’m just starting to try to get my fitness back lost 5 1/5 stone and hate exercise but this is fun- thank you
Congrats on your phenomenal weight loss! Thanks so much for letting me know that you're enjoying the workouts. Happy New Year!

2 and a half stone!?!?!? AMAZING, Paula!!! Kudos to you for working hard and for committing to a healthier lifestyle. I'm super happy for you!
That’s impressive, 2 and a half stone. Bravo!
You are awesome. The workout, the music, your personality, everyting is just great!
Aww, that means a lot. THANK YOU!

Thanks for your wonderful feedback, Fiona. Kudos to you for making the time to fit in a workout. It’s definitely a challenge with little ones.
Liked that comment at the end -don’t let negative thoughts get into your head. ✔
I loved that one too 🥰
I started this today.. I'm glad I did. It certainly got my blood and muscles moving and gave my mood a big lift. I shall continue. Thank you 😊

All your workout are easy and perfect for me at 70
Wow what a challenging (time wise) but easy (step wise) cardio workout. Thanks
Kudos to you for doing it! It's great to get in a longer workout at least once a week to challenge the body with endurance.
And I did it!!! Wooo hoooo!!👏👏👏❤️😊thank you Jules! You are the greatest!
And you are very kind!🥰
Love these 40 mins workouts 🤩🥰💪
Thank you for letting me know, Renee.💖
52 and teach middle school - next year they need me to be the DANCE teacher too! Science Art and now a mid day workout for this girl, see you every morning before school 😊Thank you! And your Music Rocks as usual!

Thanks Chris! I enjoyed choosing and mixing up a lot of my favourite songs in the playlist (that was my job Saturday morning!). Thanks for letting me know what you enjoyed about the workout.
@@ImprovedHealth Your song mix was noticed and you did a super job of finding your favs that made this peppy and fun!
Great workout. By doing your workouts 3x's a week I have really increased my cardio resistance. At 79 I need all the help I can get and your walking videos do the trick. Keept them coming
What an awesome comment to read this morning...thank you so much.🥰
I love your workouts!!! I’m 63 years young and I feel great! I have been doing your workouts for 3 months ! The full body workout has a great variety of moves! I have tried other well known walk at home workouts and my hips start to ache but with your workouts that never happens whether it’s a short or longer workout. I am sharing your channel with all my friends! God bless you and your family 🙌🏻.
Thank you so much for taking the time to provide your great feedback and a massive thank you for sharing my channel with others!
You did it again, Jules. LOVE this one. Perfect length, fun, gets my heart pumping and your encouragement keeps me moving. I laughed when you did the little finger wag with the lyrics from the Shine by Jaslyn Edgar, "...You, always thought that you were weak but babe you're wrong." 🤣
Awe, thank you for your great feedback. I definitely appreciated reading what you enjoyed.❤️
This is my FAVORITE in-door walking video! The transition from one exercise to the next is smooth, no talking, low impact and FUN!!!
Thanks SO much for sharing that with me.❤️
This is going to be perfect for me. I live in Florida, and it is already too hot to walk outside so I will be able to walk and still feel like I have done something. This is also my first time doing your workout I feel great. Thank you and can't till I am able to move up to the next level.
Welcome to my channel and thank you for letting me know that you're new here! Just to help you navigate the channel, I create 3 levels of workouts (gentle, beginner and intermediate) and categorize them all into the playlists. If you enjoyed this one, you can find plenty more at this same level under the 'intermediate level' playlists. I hope you enjoy more of the workouts when you try them out!
Awesome workout for a rainy Saturday morning! Fun music, beautiful “scenery” , and your inspirational motivation and smile that makes it so fun to “move” 😁!! Thanks Jules!!
Thanks so much, Margery.❤️
A great workout. Thanks Jules:)
Morning Jules! I haven't commented in a while but I'm still here loving your workouts. This 40 minute one is awesome! 2 1/2 miles, 5000 steps & your old songs! Great workout! I'll be doing this one over & over. Thanks for all you do with your smiling, dancing self!
Hi Gail! Thanks so much for letting me know that you're still enjoying my workouts. I definitely appreciate it (along with your thoughtful comment).
The walk flew by in the blink of an eye! The coach is wonderful, the music is wonderful! I realized that I could easily walk even 10,000. Thank you, thank you, my dear and most beloved coach!
Thanks so much, Nadia!🥰
Just wanted to mention that I really liked the segments with the 5 second alternating walking and jogging. Great way to get some jogging in while being kind to my knees. Thanks
Great feedback...thank you!
This is awesome. I've been doing your videos for almost a month and down ten pounds. I feel great everyday. I love the part about the song and breaking up with bad habits. Thank you for making a difference.
Wow! Down 10 lbs in a month is amazing, Linda. Thanks so much for letting me know that you’re enjoying the workouts (and the songs I choose).
Love this workout Im in my 80s and still moving these walk exercises have been so good for my balance. Thank You
I LOVE how you have taken such good care of your fitness that you can continue to enjoy longer workouts into your 80's. Amazing and I hope you are proud of what you can do!
@@ImprovedHealth You have been a tremendous help to my well being Thank You
I can do the longer workouts on my days off! Thank you for keeping us healthy!😅
Good Morning Jules...really enjoyed this workout. Great to hear some of the older music, do love the new music as well. So grateful for the time and energy you take in making these workout videos for us to stay healthy and focused. God has blessed you with this ability, keep us going as long as you can....take care and God Bless.....Anne
Thanks so much, Anne.❤️
We've had contractors in all week so this is the first day I've had more than 1/2 hour to exercise-- I really didn't feel the time pass, it was really fun and I love the older music--"you always thought that you were weak but babe, you're wrong" is exactly right. The things I can do now that I couldn't do two years ago are amazing thanks to you. Thanks for this great video and I hope your day is awesome, too!
I'm glad you were able to get in this workout with all the work going on in your house right now. So exciting to get renos done, but so stressful and busy at the same time! Thanks for the feedback about the song...I totally agree. I love that one, too and always hope my viewers take in the words like you did.
Man! That was a great workout! I walk everyday, but I walk my dog, she’s 10ths. Hard to get a heart rate up with her! This was perfect! Thank you!
Thanks so much, Peggy!
I have been working out with you for several weeks now. I absolutely love this one! It's so much fun! Thank you!
Thanks so much for letting me know that you're enjoying this one, Laura!
Great workout, Jules! Love intermediate Mondays. Certainly keeps us on track to stay motivated.
Thanks Rosemarie!
It's been a minute since I last did one of your workouts. Between doom scrolling and the oppressive heat here in the NE USA, I was having a hard time exercising. Thankfully I remembered your workouts that I can do in my cool basement! This was a good workout - my arms will tell that tomorrow. Looking forward to seeing your smiling face and motivational quotes in a day or two! Thanks for doing what you do, Jules.
Aw, thank you so much for your lovely message.💖
I love your countdown clocks and those 30 second intervals are fantastic
Thanks Tina!
Morning jules what a amazing work you just what i needed today I'm going through a bit of a bad time a the moment love the new moves and it was lovely to hear the old songs 🎵 doing it again tomorrow thank you ❤❤❤❤😊
Hi Jean, I'm sorry to read that you're going through a hard time right now. I truly hope things improve for you. Big hugs sent your way.
Skip jump skip jump looooove this. Real cardio workout....did this then the 10 minutes defined legs and felt great. Xxxxx
Perfect combo, Allyson!
I wanted to quit but I didn’t. I slowed down a bit the second half and was able to complete the whole workout. I am extremely proud of myself lately for sticking with my daily workouts and choosing longer ones as well. There is such a variety! Thank you Jules, for making it possible for seniors especially. I wouldn’t feel this good without you!😊💛
Congrats for completing it and for choosing a longer one, Missy!
This is one of my favorites. 😊
Thank you for letting me know that.💖
Loved this, the time flew by! Had fun the entire workout!
Oh excellent! Thanks so much for letting me know, Nancy!
I can't believe I did the entire workout!!!! I'm so happy and so proud!! I even added weights for some of it!! Thank you! For all you give to us!!
Oh
Kudos to you for doing this one and completing it, Cheryl!
Went much quicker than i thought it would I was very suprised when you said 5 minutes. Great for a saturday afternoon.
Glad it flew by for you!
Hullo Jules!
Thank you for all your efforts in putting together this big workout, which was made fun and doable by:
your cheerful encouragement,
the lovely mix-up of moves( esp the sneaky inclusion of intervals ;)),
great music, and thoughtful water breaks. You are the best!!!
Wishing you an awesome week ahead❤
Thank you so much for your lovely feedback, Anuradha.🫂
"So much better off now" since doing this workout with you! Thank you❤
Lol, love that:)
GOOD AEROBICS AND ALSO
NICE WORKOUT
KEEP SPORTY AND ALSO KEEP HEALTHY
Jules! Thank you for this wonderful workout. The length is perfect for a getting in a solid indoor walking workout. 😃
Hi! It has been for a while that I did your excercises......always promised myself I shall continue...but NOW having found this , no more excuses!!! I shall do the workouts again!! Thanks!
Welcome back!!!
Finished my treatment plan. I know I already commented on this video, but love it so much. ❤🎉 Happy Mother’s Day to everyone 😊
Thanks Rosemary!
Tabata, thank you for making workouts fun and possible. And thank you for your little messages on the screen and for smiling at us during the video. To me that's like fuel! ❤❤❤
I definitely appreciate your feedback. Thank you!!!
Another great 👍🏾 workout 🏋️♀️ Jules🎉 Merry Christmas 🎄
My sister introduced me to the Improved Health workouts and I am so glad she did. There is something for no matter how I am feeling at the moment. I love the encouraging notes. Thank you so much!
Please thank your sister for me!
love the calendar I dont have to waste time looking for the workout i want to do and ill cover all bases when i do the weeks workouts
i like the 30 sec intervals and the upbeat music and you always look like you are having a good time
time flies by quickly
THank you
Thank you for your awesome feedback. It definitely brought a smile to my face.💖
I am loving this!!! I am so happy that you move to the beat of the music so it's easy to follow. I can hardly tolerate ones who are way off beat. This is really working my entire body. Thank you.
Thanks Tina! I think most of us actually do move to the beat...it's during the editing process that sometimes throws it off (it's really difficult to match the music perfectly to the steps since the music gets added in while editing). I can't tell you how much time I've spent listening over and over to the music while watching my feet to match it up. Anyway, just a bit of side info of how the process works:) I'm glad that you enjoyed this one!
I have just done this workout now, I feel better for it. Thank you. 😊
Thank you for subscribing! I'm glad to see you've tried another workout and enjoyed it. The 'intermediate level' (the hardest ones I create) can all be found categorized together into the playlists.
Thanks, Jules! My health is improving! After a couple of months of doing your workouts, I actually WANT to workout daily. I would never have desired to attempt a 40 minute workout a few months ago, but now I love the positive mood I’m gaining by moving my body. I’m stronger, have more stamina, losing weight, dropped a clothing size, and I really look forward to exercising after at least 35 years of neglecting my body. Thank you from the bottom of my stronger ❤️.
I absolutely loved your comment and feedback, Jennifer! You have mentioned all the great reasons of why I encourage movement and exercise everyday. Thank you for taking the time to express how the workouts have helped.💪
I’m pretty much a beginner to working out. I was very sick for a long time and put on weight, had muscle wastage and was feeling rotten. I started with your beginner workouts and have gradually made it to 5,000 steps! I’m so grateful to you, you’ve helped me more than you can ever know. Your style is perfect for me, thank you xxx
WOW! You have really progressed in the past month! Congrats for working out consistently to be able to see such awesome progress. Thank you VERY much for letting me know that you're enjoying the workouts and that they have made a difference. Congrats to you for your hard work to take control of your health and fitness.💪
I love your workouts so much fun and it is finished before you know it., cheers again from London Michele
🎉Thank you so much for making these videos. I made an agreement with myself this year to move my body more than last year. You are helping me immensely. I am 66 and giving my body and especially my lungs a good workout 5-6 days per week. COPD is not getting in the way of my enjoyment of living. Thanks for the great energy you bring! It's beautiful! 😅❤
I love that you made an agreement with yourself. Taking care of our bodies is the best thing we can do for ourselves. Thank you for your thoughtful comment.🥰
Say hello from Czech republic. We love this workout. Thank you very much.
❤❤❤
Thanks so much for letting me know that.❤️
It’s raining in Melbourne, Australia, this morning so this was a fun and energising way to get the steps in before work. Thank you.
I was actually telling someone at work today all about my adventures in Australia many years ago from Darwin, all the way around the coast, through the Outback and over to the west coast.
Thanks Julie I’m growing Australia 🇦🇺 I need this for my heart and mental health health
My morning motivation..... NEVER stop!!!
I'm in love with your videos. I started doing your beegees video 8 weeks post my 2nd c section to ease into working out.
Im now 9 months postpartum and now I do this one every morning before work. Sometimes my two year old will walk next to me.
Can you please make a 6k or 7k steps one?
I'd love the extra boost but can only do the 10ks on the weekends.
I absolutely love the no talking (not anything against you❤) and the preview before the next workout.
I've recommended you to so many people, especially my pregnant, obese, and older friends. Even my parents in their 60s.
You're wonderful!
I said "aww" after reading your first line...then I said it again as I continued reading...and then again, Corrie! Thank you for your incredibly meaningful and touching message. It's tough for me to make the longer workouts (I work full-time outside of what I do on YT, and have two daughters who are 11 and 13). But, I will do my best to make the time to do it when I can. Btw, I'm not offended about the no-talking comment at all...I only enjoy working out to no-talking vids as well. A massive thank you for telling others about my channel!🫂
I absolutely love this workout!😅
Thank you!
Another great workout We just need to see the workout as an investment - investment in our health cos Health is Wealth 💖 And thanks to the workout, I hit more than 5K steps 😘
I love what you wrote...the workout is absolutely an investment. I'll jot that down and use that in a future quote at the end of a video:)
I love your music!!!!! Keeps me in the mood!!! Best music here!!! Thank you!
Thank you for your feedback:)
Thanks Julie I did workouts today …I only stated this last week .
My heart problems and mental health health ..You are awesome .
Thanks Susan and congrats for starting!
Excellent workout
Truly enjoyed this video. Love the 30-40 minute videos.
These are perfect in a great format to keep the interest and motivation. Thanks!
Thank you!!!
Your channel is easily my favorite daily habit❤
Thank you for making me smile. I always appreciate your comments.🫂
Oh yess Cynthia we did it 🎉 and I feel sooooo good! Every minute was perfect julie!❤ even if this morning at 7h I did a 30 min 😮 I cood not wait tomorrow to do this one. So I did it at 1:45 in the afternoon 😅 maybe tomorrow will be 3 times 15min or 20 min 😊. Thank you sooo much Jules and Have a goood week 🌟💐🥕🫐😅 we will all be positives this week! Oh oui! 🌞
Thanks Carole! Kudos to you for working out twice in the day yesterday!
I was so tired and trying to decide which walking workout to do. I have been walking 10000 steps. Yesterday, in one of your other workouts, this lady said that she does 5k, 3k then 2k in that order. I liked that idea and will be following it as it gives me a discipline to follow. Today, I just did the feet, not the arms as i was really very tired as i had previously said. I loved the Water Break in big letters, it made me happy as i felt that someone was exercising with me, i loved the positive sayings except they are too small for me to read so i had to stop the workout, put on my glasses in order to read the sayings. Wish you would make the writing bigger. These positive sayings are what kept me walking. Also love "Be Proud" at the end, it did make me proud. I still have to do 3k and 2k, however, the biggest one was done. I also remember a saying that as you get older, you need to keep active, that saying keeps me going as well. :)
I really appreciate your feedback...thank you! I actually started making the font a little bigger in my past 3 workouts. I'm so glad to read that the positive quotes help. I also like the idea of the 5, 3, 2 format. Just so you know, I also have workout calendars on my website which I create every month. A lot of people find those really helpful to stay on track. www.improvedhealthforseniors.com
If there was ever a perfect workout, this is it. It's challenging but not overwhelming. My heart thanks you!
Wow, that is an awesome comment to read tonight. Thank you, Wendy!!!🫂
My first time doing with you and so excited to do more everyday . Thank you

Yes I can do it AND I DID IT. WOO HOO ! This was the third one of your exercises this morning!! I’m proud of myself. And thank you for excellent work outs. The best part is no talking !👏👏👏👏
Oh wow! Third workout of the day! That is impressive!
I had a great time working out this morning! Your happy energy is always uplifting and motivating. I feel great afterward! And though it's in your workouts often, that last song really hit me this morning. THANK YOU!
Thank you so much for your great comment and feedback. I love 'Shine'. I haven't used it in a while and I feel it has a lot of meaning for different scenarios in each of our lives. I always hope it means something to someone, and helps.
Started following you some time late last Spring. It was tough when it got so hot and humid during the summer.
I started this year telling myself no excuses!
Enjoy the different lengths of your videos, as sometimes I have time to do more and sometimes less.
Thank you for your positive words of encouragement.😊❤️👍🏻
I'm so glad to read that you're committed to taking care of your health, and not allowing excuses. When I see a lot of frail seniors, I always wish they would have worked out and not given excuses, either. Getting older doesn't mean getting weak. We can absolutely be strong as we age if we just keep at it.
THANK YOU for another great video! Subscribed 8 weeks ago (15, 20, 30 & now 40 mins).
PLEASE continue to list higher STEP COUNTs in thumbnail :)
Congrats on moving up in time with the workouts!
This is the best workout ever. 40 minutes went by so fast and I enjoyed every bit of it. I'm gonna try out your 10000 steps workout next.

I'm recovering from abdominal surgery and these workouts give me the daily exercise I need and put me in a great mood. Thank you for your amazing videos and for your warm smile ❤
Thank you very much for your thoughtful comment/feedback. It's appreciated!

Great comment...thanks Sally!
