Thank you for doing workouts my 73 yr old mom can do with me as well. And it is a good workout to do that is easy on the joints. Thank you keep them coming please
Not sure what I'm ever going to do if you take your videos down. It's hard to find a special exercise program one can connect with and this is it. I'm 49 years old and am hoping to continue with these for years to come. From Seattle USA :-)
Hi Lisa, I don't ever plan to take my videos down so they should continue to be here as long as you need them:) Thank you so much for letting me know that you're enjoying them. I really appreciate it.❤️
Thanks, Jules: I didn't know how hard this is after a 2 week break because of Covid. Cardio is no problem, but weights are another story. I will do this every other day to get my strength back. Rain, storm, snow and sunshine in LA. Crazy. We are not used to that. Take care.
I read about the snow in LA…crazy. I hope your power stayed on (assuming it did since you could follow this workout). I’m glad you’re easing into exercising. I felt the same way after I had it and it took a while to get my energy back.
Hi Jules. It was nice to see a short little toning up this morning. I used it this morning after doing your 1600 steps. I had a medical appt. this morning so it was a great workout before I had to leave. My Pulmonary Dr was really, really happy to know I workout 5 days a week.
@@ImprovedHealth I am really happy as well. My breathing had better levels than they were two years ago. Be proud of how you help without even knowing it. Exercise is so much more about strengthening the body. Especially as we age. Too many focus on only weight loss with only cardio.
@@loonielaura It's absolutely awesome to read about how your breathing levels are better than two years ago. That's super exciting (just as much for me as it is exciting for you!). Thanks for encouraging words about my videos and how they help. 💖💖💖
I'm a new subscriber to your channel, and I have to say a big thank you! I did this workout in the morning and used 3 pound weights, which was a little too much for me. I tried the workout again in the afternoon and used 2.5 pound weights, and it was perfect! Thanks again for taking the time to make these workouts for seniors. I can't wait to try more of your videos and introduce my husband to them as well!
Thanks so much for taking the time to let me know that you are new here. Just to let you know, I create gentle, beginner and intermediate level workouts. You can find them all categorized in the playlists and on my website (www.improvedhealthforseniors.com). I hope you (and your husband) enjoy the variety as you try them out. Welcome to my channel, Renay!
Nice combo of arm & leg movements, Jules! Being a senior, I didn't need weights to get my heart rate up & the pace was just right to get everything moving - thank you!
Great for a short combo workout! Love the Spring-like decor, too. It's amazing how much the background can contribute to the overall experience of the workout.
Jules, I want to thank you for posting your workouts. You have helped alot of us. I am in my 70th and I am exercising more because of you. I been telling people about your RUclips channel ❤❤😊😊❤😊
Excellent advice to me, to skip the weights to protect my arm...I was tempted to use light weights, but listened to you...better to take it slowly. I also tried to do all the arm movements, very gently when necessary, to avoid having my arm "freeze" up. I had that happen years ago when I had a torn rotator cuff. Not fun! Thanks Jules, for your thoughtful help.
Just getting back to my normal routine after a 6-day getaway! (On two of those days, I walked 12,000+ miles, while enjoying tours of Civil War battlefields near Charleston, SC.) I "found" this one, and I did enjoy the use of weights. And of course...LOVE THEM SQUATS!!!!
Hi, I cannot tell you how much you have already helped me‼️ I started my weight loss journey in June,(lost 25, 55 or 60 to go yet) but really just started recently getting super serious about regularly exercising again after on & off and quitting for 3 months. You explain so well, show the exercises & how to do them so well. I truly can’t thank you enough. ❤
Oh excellent!!! Thanks so much for taking the time to let me know that you're enjoying the various workouts. Congrats on making exercise part of your life and for working hard to lose 25 lbs! I look forward to reading your progress again down the road:)
Just what I needed to prep for my babysitting stint tomorrow. Squats - to get down on floor level, arm strengthening to hold that darling baby boy. Thanks, Jules!
Well Jules, that was enough for me today, after using my heavy leaf blower!! My arms felt the best today, it's why I'm glad I did your short workout!! Thank you
Today is an active rest day for me so I did the routine without the weights. Tomorrow is one of my strength days and I look forward to doing it again with my weights. Love the versatility of this.
Wow! It’s been so long since we last did this one that we thought we hadn’t done it before! It’s a really good one to do for our evening workout. Hopefully we won’t wait as long to do it again. We’re trying (when time and scheduling permits) to do a little “more” or a little tiny bit longer workouts in the evenings. Step by step.
So appreciate your combo sessions coupling weights with walking. Nice doing the traveling knee lifts to work "going backwards" muscles. You think of everything!
I'm sometimes inconsistent with working out, and today I was "fighting" with myself plus a bit depressed. So I bit the bullet because I know that when I get up and move I'm energized and happier. I used to work out every day way back when and was always jazzed up all day :). Anyway, I did this short one and of course, am revved up for the rest of the day.....I love what you do!! Now to start your Now to start one of your series workouts! Thank you!!!
I am SO glad to read that you found the motivation to work out and felt better for it. It is truly amazing how exercise definitely helps us just as much mentally as it does physically. I hope you keep coming back every day.
Good Sunday afternoon 😊. This was a short and good workout 💪 with weights. I didn't know if i could do the weights but i did it 😂❤ love your words at the end of video Thanks ❤️ 😊
If you find your heart rate is still high at the end, just make sure you move around for a little while longer at a slower pace to get the heart rate back down again:)
I put aside all my morning activities and immediately went 'into battle'. For lack of time, I did not look for light weights. I sweated a bit because it was hard, but I survived. Thank you so much, Jules, for the cool exercises. I didn't take breaks, even though with dumbbells I always do, But is it really the case that when using dumbbells you have to take one-minute breaks so that it's not just aerobics, but also strength exercises?💛
You don't need to take breaks when the weights are light as in this workout. If at any point you feel like you need a break, by all means, put the weights down briefly and pick them up again when you're ready to:)
@@ImprovedHealth Thank you, but I'll ask the question again if I may :) because I don't think we understood each other, Jules. Some trainers believe that if lifting dumbbells is to be EFFECTIVE as a WEIGHT exercise, you need to take minute breaks, otherwise the whole workout feels like aerobics. For me, it is always important that lifting dumbbells in all circumstances is a muscle development exercise. I don't want to do two workouts i.e. one as aerobics and the other for muscle strength training because I don't have time for that. So is a session like the current one a muscle development exercise even though I don't take breaks? Do you even agree with the trainers who say what I wrote above, because maybe they (one claimed so) are wrong?
Good workout my heart rate was up there. I like the combination of the weights with the walking different leg and arm movements. Following the calendar I like it. Thank you.
For this very beneficial set of exercises, I thank you, Jules 😃 The other day, my son did the same set with me(he's home for a bit), and was pretty impressed that his old Mum could keep up...sends you kudos and best wishes for a speedy 1M subs💙🖤
Another wonderful workout. I think there were a few new moves which were fun. I loved the added ab work. I would love to see more like this but maybe closer to 30 mins with a little stretching at the end.😀
Unfortunately, writing the playlist out is just one too many things for me to add on top of creating the playlists, and the videos. But, if you use the free app, Shazam, you can find out what most of the songs are.
I usually create no-talking workouts, especially with my newer videos. If you go to my playlists, you'll find all of the workouts categorized into the playlists (there is a category with all no-talking workouts).
I didn't get the exact step count written down because I had to do a re-take. When that happens, I sometimes forget to write the steps down before re-starting the recording.
Thanks for this workout! For some reason I can't access my two workouts I do during my workday on your channel anymore. One was a 1200 step gentle walking workout and the other one was a 1116 step low impact gentle walk. When I try to click on them now they say private.
Sorry about that, Venissia! I had some copyright issues with those two videos so I recreated them into one new video. I have lots of shorter workouts (10-20 minutes) that will hopefully still work for you. If you go to the playlists, you'll be able to find them all there. You can also find various workouts a little easier on my website (www.improvedhealthforseniors.com). I hope that helps! Here is the new version of the 10 minute video: ruclips.net/video/EgUpLgyx0zo/видео.html
Hi Daisy, I just looked in my binder where I keep track but I didn't write it. Sometimes I start recording a video, then mess up and have to restart. When that happens, I usually write the number of steps down, so I know what to subtract off the total, but sometimes I forget as well. I must have forgotten to write it down that day. On average though, a 10 minute walk is around 1000 steps:)
It's definitely hard to find music that I can legally use (I pay a subscription to use non-copyrighted music). I'd say finding music is the hardest part of creating these videos. Occasionally I do use copyrighted music, but when I do, any income from those videos goes to the music companies.
So good! Just right challenging! Much gratitude 🙏🏼👊🏼 Fist to all the viewers 👊🏼
Thanks Maggie!
Thank you for doing workouts my 73 yr old mom can do with me as well. And it is a good workout to do that is easy on the joints. Thank you keep them coming please

Another great workout. I love working with the weights. 😅😅😅
This one for our evening workout!!
Great variety! Thank you!
Great workout 💛💛💛
Part of my 10x4 folder (4 ten minute workouts a day! :)
I just finished filming a new 10 min beginner one and will have it up next week.

Working around house and did this before lunch to get me in the mood. Thanks for a short walk. Loved it. Feel better now.
Thanks for letting me know that you enjoyed it.
This is a fantastic workout before I go to work today. Thank you so much. My husband and son enjoy your workouts also. ❤
Thank you so much for letting me know that your husband and son enjoy the workouts, too. I appreciate that!
Super. Thanks🤩
Perfect quickie :) Thank you

Thank you for letting me know that you enjoyed it. I’m glad to read that you catered it to what worked right for you.
We decided to do this walking with weights for tonight. Good one!!
Great for a short combo workout! Love the Spring-like decor, too. It's amazing how much the background can contribute to the overall experience of the workout.
Thanks for the feedback, Laurie. This background is definitely my favourite out of all the ones I've managed to find.
Jules, I loved it was great
Jules,
I want to thank you for posting your workouts. You have helped alot of us. I am in my 70th and I am exercising more because of you.
I been telling people about your RUclips channel ❤❤😊😊❤😊
Thanks for sharing that with me, Carol, and a massive thank you for telling others about my channel!
Walking with weights this evening!! Woo Hoo!!!
We ended our day with this one! “See ya” tomorrow!
Great workout!!
Thanks Karen!
Phew...that was surprisingly challenging 💪
Even light weights definitely make quite the difference.
Did this with 3 lbs weight and was so surprised to see my heart rate jump so quickly. Everyday I do your workouts. Thank you!
It's definitely amazing how the weights make quite a difference in a walking workout.
So great! Now I see that I can always add in light weights with the walking workouts! Thank you!
Absolutely. It will definitely increase the intensity of any workout that you find too easy.
This one for our evening session!!

I also tried to do all the arm movements, very gently when necessary, to avoid having my arm "freeze" up. I had that happen years ago when I had a torn rotator cuff. Not fun!

I'm so glad you took it slowly with no weights today.
Brilliant
Excellent workout. Really feel the difference using weights. My arms were totally burnt out by end. April schedule off to a great start❤
It is amazing how even 1 lb weights can seem challenging with a walking workout.
Thank you we so need this in my 76th year
76 and strong!
Great after meal short workout! Thank you!

Thanks for the continuous encouragement, mate. I love walking and working with weight. To combine these two is a marvelous idea.
Thanks Annie! I'll put more out in the future.
Yep, did it again with weights and it was perfect. Later I'll do your new workout.
Thanks Kim!
Well Jules, that was enough for me today, after using my heavy leaf blower!! My arms felt the best today, it's why I'm glad I did your short workout!! Thank you
Always fantastic. 🎉
Aww, I appreciate that. Thank you!
Tonight was our first time for doing this one. It was great!!
Thanks, Jules!!
Thank you for your feedback, Mary. Happy Easter to you and Rex.❤️
Very effective...thank you
We did this one to end our day. Rex used weights, but I had to do it without weights; yesterday I got shots in both hands for trigger fingers.
Oh wow, good choice not to use weights, Mary!
Awesome
Thanks Diana!
Have a Lovely Day You too, Jules! 💓
That was so good! Short, no repeats and challenging enough for me because I haven't used weights for a long time. Thank you!
Thanks so much for your feedback:)
Wee Sunday morning workout. Short sweet and v v good on arms. Happy weekend❤
Thanks Allyson. Wishing you a good week ahead:)
Ended our day with a little strength session!!😊
Perfect!
Today is an active rest day for me so I did the routine without the weights. Tomorrow is one of my strength days and I look forward to doing it again with my weights. Love the versatility of this.
Perfect!
This one to end the day!!!
Yea us!!!
That was great, Julie!!!
Thanks Mary!
Short and perfect.
I love your wallpapers.
Thanks Monika:)
Wow! It’s been so long since we last did this one that we thought we hadn’t done it before!
It’s a really good one to do for our evening workout.
Hopefully we won’t wait as long to do it again.
We’re trying (when time and scheduling permits) to do a little “more” or a little tiny bit longer workouts in the evenings.
Step by step.
It’s great to hear that you are adding on when you can.
It‘s good to have you and your videos. Thanks a lot. 👍👍👍🌺🌹♥️
Thank you! I appreciate your comment.❤️
So appreciate your combo sessions coupling weights with walking. Nice doing the traveling knee lifts to work "going backwards" muscles. You think of everything!
Not everything, but I do try:)
Wow I didn't realise my heart rate would go so high! Another great workout, thanks so much😊
If you ever find it goes too high, just slow the pace down a little or extend the cool-down:)
Loved it! Kept dancing at the end 🕺
That’s great!
Einfach super, es macht so viel Spaß🥰
Thank you!
Great workout for me! Thanks, Jules!
Thank you, Mila!
Thanks for good workout 😊
Thanks Jules; just what I was looking for!
Thanks for letting me know:)
Jules I never come out of your workouts feeling deflated - they work! Loved this one so another 'thank you' for putting them all together. Sally
Thank you so much for your great comment, Sally. I'm so glad to know you're enjoying the variety.❤️
Got a little strength workout in this evening!!

Congrats for using the weights, Carol!
@@ImprovedHealth Thanks 😊 it was only 2 pounds.
2 lbs in great! You don't really want to use much more than 2 pounds in a walking workout (can be hard on the joints).@@caroldavey4129
Great video. I was surprised I was able to get my heart rate nice and high in such a short time with this one. TY. Jules. :)
If you find your heart rate is still high at the end, just make sure you move around for a little while longer at a slower pace to get the heart rate back down again:)
Day 57! ✅️💪🏻🦵🏻
I think my arms are going to feel it tomorrow as they knew they were working! 😁👍🏻
Great job Jules!
Thank you 😊
I think you are definitely committed to exercise now, Annette. 💪

Gracias Jules por la rutina del hoy!!!....saludos 👋 👋 👋
Muchas gracias, Elba.💖
Another “crazy” day, so we did this one this morning, followed by a 15 min “ Lower your blood Sugar” workout. We’re trying to somewhat stay on track!!
Congrats for making sure you still got in exercise today.
Love this one and was looking for the music playlist. Could you add it?
Unfortunately, writing the playlist out is just one too many things for me to add on top of creating the playlists, and the videos. But, if you use the free app, Shazam, you can find out what most of the songs are.

Love this combination arms and legs all in one. About how many steps are there in this workout? Thank you
I didn't get the exact step count written down because I had to do a re-take. When that happens, I sometimes forget to write the steps down before re-starting the recording.
I loved the song during the Stretching part. What is the name of it and artist who sings it?

Hi Daisy, I just looked in my binder where I keep track but I didn't write it. Sometimes I start recording a video, then mess up and have to restart.
