Your brain picked up the wavelengths of mine after literally just reading an article about the effectiveness of intervals. The best part is that YOU made them easy by being the timer -- and adding the peppy, motivational music!
Hi Jules! I've been MIA for a year. I had a left total knee replacement. Just when I was getting up to par, I had surgery for cancer on my right lower leg! no leg exercising for 5 months! well at 72 you fall back to a beginner. So, I tried this video, and I loved it! Thanks for all you do!
Oh wow, Maureen. I'm so glad to read that you're able to exercise again (and have recovered!). This is an intermediate level workout so you are doing VERY well if you managed this one! You'll have lots of videos to catch up on:) So glad you're healthy and well, Maureen.🫂
Congratulations on getting yourself back at it. 🙏👏👏👏I am going to be 72 next month and also have my own health challenges. Everyday I finish a workout I am filled with Gratitude I was able to make a comeback and get back to releasing those well needed feelings good endorphins. Keep healing and stay strong.
I just have to stop in and say a few things today. I’ve been stalled since March and adding this definitely has helped get the scale moving again! Pointing to the feet for change in action is extremely helpful! Your inspirational words throughout your workouts truly hit my heart. I often find myself emotional with how far I’ve come and what I can ask my body to do. I look forward to every workout. I used to be a very tight 3x and today I treated myself to a new workout outfit (shoes and bra included) all in a size small!! Thank you so much. I can’t tell you how happy I am to have found your channel!❤
This was a great plateau buster. I will be revisiting this again. Years ago these high and low exercises were done on the step. This is fantastic for me in my old age. Thank you!
Good morning Jules 🌄 Oh my goodness I was smiling through this entire workout 😊 That was so MUCH fun!! Thank you for starting us with a smile and setting us up for a the week ahead ❣️🌈❣️
Okay so tonights workout was pretty good! I actually kept up with all the intervals and feel quite proud of myself! It was a much better effort than last nights. 😊 Thank you as always Jules for your workouts and inspiration to get us all moving! A x🎈
Thanks so much for this! I did on my mini trampoline and sometimes did jumping jacks and twists etc and sometimes walked and jogged along with you but went with your interval timing. Loved it! Sweat more than expected and had a good time doing it. Thanks ! 👋🇨🇦💪🏃🏼♀️💕
Back for day 3 on Wed evening. I'm getting better at this now Jules! I'm really focusing and keeping up with your routine. I went on to do 'Uncover the secret to no squat DANCE PARTY' and finished on 11170 steps, so very sweaty but happy that I've pushed myself againwith your encouragement. Thank you as always. A x 🎈
Walking is totally okay! All that matters is picking up the pace when you can (and that might mean walking fast instead of jogging). Over the weeks, you'll notice you'll be able to do more.
Jules you are s-o-o good. I'm sorry that I "found" you so late in my PD exercising, like most of the good things in my life. For almost 50 years my wife was a "computer's widow". So only after being diagnosed with PD I started exercising mostly with physiotherapist and the web sites for parkinsonians. Noone does a decent walking exercises. At 90 degrees weather and the big city I cannot walk at decent speed outside. As to today's session I'm somewhate proud of myself. I did all the walking part without reducing the speed of playback. I rate my performance about C+. The cooldown I was not as good. I have a major balance problem which in spite of my efforts still unresolved. Also, my body flexibility is the same as of an old oak-tree. Jules, I remain your loyal student
Thanks so much for letting me know about your fitness journey. I'm so glad to read that you're exercising regularly to combat the effects of Parkinson's. Exercise definitely helps! In case you haven't seen it, I had a guest on my other channel create a specialized workout for Parkinson's. It is seated, but you can modify to do it standing. It might be a nice workout to mix in 1-2 times a week. youtube.com/@ImprovedHealthChairWorkouts
A very interesting “marathon” of small runs. I liked it very much. Such an easy workout is very suitable for such a hot summer. Thank you so much, Jules! Nadia
Thank you Jules! This was a great workout! It got my BPM into the fat burning range! I’ve lost 45 lbs. since I started working out with your videos and doing intermittent fasting. I’m going to do this one every morning during my fasted state. 😉
Good morning Jules! I love your workouts! I have been working out ( treatment plan), with you for almost two years! I am almost 61 with a diagnosis of panic anxiety disorder..ie: a mental illness. I love how you sometimes address mental health in your workouts.. like raising your endorphins with a 10 minute exercise etc. Means the world to me. Exercise is SO beneficial for anxiety and depression and can lift you out of that. I really enjoy your workouts and thank you for your grace, friendliness and warmth in each workout.:) Also.. after working out with you.. my labs were better and my prediabeties went down below the cut off point to where I’m not prediabetic at the moment. Also.. may I ask..are you Canadian? The “ about” and other words you say has that distinctive Canadian accent. I lived in Canada for 7 years in my younger days. Hugs to you!! Xo
Thanks so much for your great feedback, Lisa. I'm glad that you noticed I focus on mental health in some of the videos because I am a firm believer in exercise helping us just as much mentally as it does physically. I have worked with a lot of people in my regular job (my day job) who suffer with severe anxiety and depression, so yes, I definitely like to focus on more than just the exercise:) I am from Canada...glad to read that you got a chance to live here for 7 years. Hopefully it was somewhere close to the US border or out west where the temperatures are milder.😉Then again, there are so many beautiful places in Canada to live despite the cold winters!
I just finished day 4/25 of the beginner strength and this was just a bit too intense for me to follow after about half so I improvised and did okay. (I am 75 and almost five months out from hip replacement. "I'll be back." Love your videos with the previews before shifting!!
Hi! This is an intermediate level workout so it is one of my more challenging ones. I create 3 levels of workouts (gentle, beginner and intermediate) and categorize them all into the playlists:)
Perfecto....when my glasses fall off thats a good sign lol honestly u start this thinking aw that's so doable but wow that works u so much. Love intervals they really work you and loose calories. An absolute hands down winner .....you looked great in that colour today....so fresh n lovely❤❤❤❤❤
Saturday noon and here I am in the house with 112 degrees outside. Did this with 2-3lb weights again with this video. Will using these small weights really help with toning and losing weight? .Love your energy and your bubbly personality. Thank you Jules for my happiness, body and mental health to keep going and achieve success with my goal in mind. Have a wonderful day with your family Jules.
Hi Gail, I actually recommend not using weights in the faster walking workouts. If you can, just focus on your pace and go at the best pace that works for you. To get the most benefits, I would suggest doing a separate strength workout to really challenge the muscles from a strength perspective. Something like the 15 min strength workout (3x a week) that I uploaded recently which is short, but with lots of effective exercises. On another note, I want to thank you for a comment you wrote yesterday (or the day before). I took time for me today and enjoyed a 90 min mountain bike ride (along with my husband), which I haven't done in years (I usually road ride simply because it takes less time because I just hop on my bike rather than have to drive to trails). I now plan to make it a weekly occurrence. I thoroughly enjoyed the ride today so thank you for your thoughtful comment.🫂
Thank you for another great video, this was a perfect video to do on my off day from your strength training video, wasn't sure I would make it through all the intervals, but just kept my eyes on you and next thing I knew you were saying last one. Your videos make me feel so confident and accomplished. Thank you❤️.
This was a great start to a damp grey morning. Managed running pace for both the 10 and 5 sec parts and then completed standing strength workout (love weights!) - couldn't have done that 6 months ago!❤
Oh when I saw the title I was surprise again this morning . Yesterday I said exactely that I tought I was on kind of weight loss plateau 😅 let's tri it! 🏃♀️ after ma firts ☕ haha! And after I wake up 🌞 I already know that I will have fun and be back on weight lost haha! Have a nice week Jules 🍓 big houre later 😂 wouaw! I did it! Musique, your t-shirt the best color the 🏃♀️ love love love it! THANK YOU! The best way to be motivate and start my week positively 🌞🌞🌞 time for water now!
I have a question Jules ; I listen to a spécialiste last week about the weight loss and he explain that when we exercice like us the muscular mass is also gain weight. If I hunderstan what he was telling . Its the same thing with all those workout I do with you? Maybe I'm not only loos but the muscular mass il also to condider. 😊 sorry for my english. Ouf! Anyway when I here that I decided to not go on my balance for few weeks and just continu like I do and be proud on myself and love and be confidence of my boddy . Just be constance. Thank you for your explication. 🙃
Hi Carole, muscle does weigh more than fat but it takes A LOT of strength training to gain weight. I lift heavy in my own workouts and my weight has hardly shifted on the scale. Strength training is incredibly important as we age since it speeds up our metabolism, helps with balance and keeps our bones and muscles strong. Focusing on how you feel and seeing all the other benefits like lower blood pressure, lower blood sugars, etc., is far better than what a scale shows:)
Yess many benefits that I see and feel so good now. And as you said in your videos we are proud, we see all changes every week and I need to be active every day that is new in my life and it was a goal to be active at 60 years old. Here I am at 62 active and in good shape. Thank you jules.
This is a perfect burst of cardio to add onto strength training. Having a rest from that today, so I did this twice over and feel ready for anything! Thank you Jules 😊
Love your Adidas yellow shirt, Jules! Both are my favorites! I did a workout with your Tabata video then after thought I’d try this new one. I had no idea what to expect, but WOW I loved it. It’s fun to combine the workouts to get my 40 minutes in. Thank you for your hard work in providing workouts especially for us seniors. I can see my hard work is paying off and can’t wait to see more!😊💛
Jules what a challenge but I did. I've been walking with another person and she incorporates walking backwards with her mom. I'm 69 yrs old and have balance issues she says it help wondered if next new video you would consider. Thanks. Love walking 🚶 ❤
Thanks for your feedback, Lisa. I actually wouldn't recommend walking backwards (other than the 3 steps forward and backward that we sometimes do in my workouts). Walking backwards can increase fall risks (can't see holes on grass, or curbs, etc.) Instead of walking backwards, I'd recommend following some of the balance videos on YT. I have several on my channel (and so do others, too). The other thing that will help with balance is getting stronger legs. Doing squats, lunges or any other leg strengthening exercise will absolutely help with balance. I hope that helps!
Guau ! 😂 Que manera de correr !!😅🥵🥵.Me vino re bien para entrar en calor porque en Argentina esta haciendo mucho frio !!! Gracias Jules ! Nos vemos el lunes !❤👋👋👋
@@ImprovedHealth its been truly awful. Apart from being wet its also been cold. Snow was forecast a few weeks ago on the Scottish mountains. Last Thursday it was 9 degrees C in my garden. Just really crazy weather
@@marie-theresehayes6875 We've had a lot more rain than usual this year, but thankfully most days are still very warm (28-32 C). Maybe you need to get away to Canada.😉
I’m 28 yrs old and on a fitness/weight loss journey. I’ve been doing RUclips workouts for a while now but only recently discovered your channel. I absolutely love low impact, all standing workouts. You’re my new go to channel for workouts. Thank you!
WOW Jules. How long or how many minutes or hours does it take to produce this video. Great work done. Sweating like a pig. Thanks for revving up my metabolism. Love the music. Love your outfit. You are greatly appreciated everyday but Mondays are the hardest to motivate .But with you around we thank you for your dedication in your career helping others to obtain great health and loving ourselves and what we look like. I know it takes awhile to see results From the bottom of my heart I thank you. Today is 118 degrees. Love you in the summer time indoors with ac. Have a great day.
Every video is different but on average a 20 min workout will take 30-60 min to plan; 30-40 min to set up and record; 1.5 to 3 hours to edit (depending if I need to create new clock colours, etc.) plus the uploading time; then 15-20 min to create a thumbnail (the main picture you see), and if I create a new music playlist that adds on 1-2 hours! I am just thankful you and others enjoy the workouts (I wouldn't be creating them otherwise!). Thanks for always taking the time to support me with your comments, Gail. It means a lot!
I love your videos and now that I see the immense amount of time that goes into to each one I love them even more and appreciate you more than you can ever imagine❤️
@@sandihunter1260 Ah, yes...I have a hard time remembering where everyone is from. I picked it up a few weeks ago so you might find it at your local Winners.😉
Hi! I usually do change up the moves but each workout has a different format, and the walking is what works for this one. The purpose is for people to walk, jog or run to cater the workout to their fitness level and they wouldn't be able to do that if I had more complicated moves. Hopefully you'll enjoy some of the other workouts I create.
Be still my heart...NOT! 😄Another new and great Monday workout, heart-stompin' and butt kickin' fun! I hope you're a RUclips millionaire or getting close to it - you definitely deserve it! I make sure I play the full ad on your videos and don't hit skip (no matter how much I want to...), I heard that helps! I encourage all your followers to do the same 😊
Thanks SO much for allowing the ads to play to the end, Yvonne. I appreciate that! Far, far, far from being a YT millionaire! I don't have nearly enough subscribers or views for that. I shall keep plugging away at providing the videos that I hope my viewers will enjoy. I'm glad you enjoyed this one!
Hi Mary, I would suggest avoiding the intervals if they bother your hip. The beginner level workouts might be better (not that you can't do the intermediate level, but it's more about your hips being happy).
Just finished this workout. I was needing something to help with the plateau I’ve hit. How often would you advise doing this? Also, tech dummy here, finally figured out how to get the workout calendar videos on my TV😂. I do the intermediate for the day, then later I do the beginning one. Down 35 pounds since mid-November!
Oh WOW, Deborah! Down 35 lbs is AMAZING!!! You could do this workout every 2nd day if you wish. My recommendation is besides this one, start doing strength training (unless you are already), and try to do a longer workout once a week, too. The other days pick and choose what works for you. Congrats on your hard work paying off!
@@ImprovedHealth , I’m doing the All-in-One workouts. Do I need more strength training than that? I figured with those I’m getting cardio and/or intervals, too.
@@deborahfrancis5292 I might suggest adding the 10 minute strength workout I created recently onto the end of the days that you do the all-in-ones. It'll give you a little bit more but won't take a lot of extra time.
Great workout! Thank you! During stretching, is there an alternative to holding the foot behind with the knee bent? My TKR doesn't cooperate with that but I definitely want to stretch those quads. Thanks Jules!
You could place your foot behind you on a chair, or use a belt or towel to lift it without bending the knee too much. You'll also feel it in the quads when you bring a leg/foot back and just focus on moving your leg/foot until you feel it where you want to feel it (hope that makes sense!).
Hi Kristen, thank you for your request. I create 3 levels of workouts (gentle, beginner and intermediate). This is more of an intermediate level workout. If you head to my playlists, you'll see the gentle and beginner level playlists which have lots of shorter workouts (some being 5 minutes). My suggestion is to do as much as you can, and take breaks as needed. I'll also be adding more standing workouts soon to my chair channel which will be a combination of standing and seated exercises. These will help you to get stronger since you won't have to stand the entire time. I hope this info helps. youtube.com/@ImprovedHealthChairWorkouts
Attempted 3rd workout of the day! It was a success in that I completed the time, just at my own pace. It's definitely a workout that I need to work at and improve on. (Plus wear a decent bra while doing it!) 😆 A x 🎈
Hi Debby, my name is Jules and my YT channel is called 'Improved Health'. 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.
Hello I am 53 years old lady I have been training whit you for 5 months but l have many problems knee arthritis and pain in shoulder and a benign tomor in the pelvic cavity in the acetabukum . Should continue the exercises?
You can absolutely continue these exercises as long as your knee and shoulder allow you to. With arthritis, avoid exercising during a flare up, and ice if needed. Avoid any of the movements that you know will aggravate your shoulder (we all have different aches and pains but modify any moves that feel uncomfortable). If the overhead shoulder movements bother you, just reach forward instead and don't lock your elbows when you reach (keep them more bent). As for the benign tumor, that is something to ask your specialist (ask if there are any movements that should be avoided). I hope that helps! I create 3 levels of workouts so another option is to stick with the beginner level workouts if you want workouts that are a little more gentle.
Your brain picked up the wavelengths of mine after literally just reading an article about the effectiveness of intervals. The best part is that YOU made them easy by being the timer -- and adding the peppy, motivational music!

Hi Jules! I've been MIA for a year. I had a left total knee replacement. Just when I was getting up to par, I had surgery for cancer on my right lower leg! no leg exercising for 5 months! well at 72 you fall back to a beginner. So, I tried this video, and I loved it! Thanks for all you do!

@@ImprovedHealthJules I can’t wait to catch up!
Congratulations on getting yourself back at it. 🙏👏👏👏I am going to be 72 next month and also have my own health challenges.

I used my step today just like I did back in the day😂
Thank you so much for this. I got weighed at my doctor's surgery last Monday, and they said I had reached a plateau - you must have overheard!
Lol, I guess I did! Give this a go 2-3 times a week (and do other workouts other days) and I'm sure you'll start seeing change as the weeks go on.
Doable intervals, and the 20 minutes did fly past. Thank you, Jules for putting together great workouts for us. Have a great week ahead😊
Thank you, Jules, for another awesome workout! Thanks for all the effort you put into each of these 🙏🏽

Welcome back, Cara!
Gaining weight after starting to work out. Need to adjust diet. Lost 40 lbs after a stroke very quickly. Now gaining weight
What we eat is definitely the biggest part of us managing our weight. Changing up our workouts, doing intervals, and strength training also helps.

Anyway when I here that I decided to not go on my balance for few weeks and just continu like I do and be proud on myself and love and be confidence of my boddy . Just be constance. Thank you for your explication. 🙃
Hi Carole, muscle does weigh more than fat but it takes A LOT of strength training to gain weight. I lift heavy in my own workouts and my weight has hardly shifted on the scale. Strength training is incredibly important as we age since it speeds up our metabolism, helps with balance and keeps our bones and muscles strong. Focusing on how you feel and seeing all the other benefits like lower blood pressure, lower blood sugars, etc., is far better than what a scale shows:)
Yess many benefits that I see and feel so good now. And as you said in your videos we are proud, we see all changes every week and I need to be active every day that is new in my life and it was a goal to be active at 60 years old. Here I am at 62 active and in good shape. Thank you jules.
Gracias jules 🥵🥵hermosa rutina. Llena de energía ❤🇦🇷👏👏👏
This is a perfect burst of cardio to add onto strength training. Having a rest from that today, so I did this twice over and feel ready for anything! Thank you Jules 😊
Oh wow! I can imagine you're full of energy now!
Thank you so much Jules!! Love the new workout!! ❤
Thanks Donna!
Another great video! Thank you 😊
Love your Adidas yellow shirt, Jules! Both are my favorites! I did a workout with your Tabata video then after thought I’d try this new one. I had no idea what to expect, but WOW I loved it. It’s fun to combine the workouts to get my 40 minutes in. Thank you for your hard work in providing workouts especially for us seniors. I can see my hard work is paying off and can’t wait to see more!😊💛
Congrats on doing two workouts, Missy! I'm so glad to read that you are seeing change!
Hi Jules, thank you for this! I’m in PT for arthritis in my left hip and left neck. I told my PT group about you. They were impressed.
Hi Jane! Thanks SO much for sharing my channel with your group! I always appreciate your support.🫂
Jules what a challenge but I did. I've been walking with another person and she incorporates walking backwards with her mom. I'm 69 yrs old and have balance issues she says it help wondered if next new video you would consider. Thanks. Love walking 🚶 ❤
Thanks for your feedback, Lisa. I actually wouldn't recommend walking backwards (other than the 3 steps forward and backward that we sometimes do in my workouts). Walking backwards can increase fall risks (can't see holes on grass, or curbs, etc.) Instead of walking backwards, I'd recommend following some of the balance videos on YT. I have several on my channel (and so do others, too). The other thing that will help with balance is getting stronger legs. Doing squats, lunges or any other leg strengthening exercise will absolutely help with balance. I hope that helps!
@@ImprovedHealth thanks I'll take your advice. I'll do that. You da best
My first time, I loved it! Thank you 😊
Thanks so much for letting me know that you enjoyed it.
Day 4 of starting with this one. Easier today and still fun to do! Thanks Jules :)
Your workouts are the best! Thank you 😊
Thanks SO much, Terri!
What a great workout! Thank you so much Jules
Thanks Gillian!
another new one for me. Challenging but good. Thank you.
Thanks Heather!
I see you have new videos looking forward to trying them all! This was a good one!
I upload a new one each Monday:)
Guau ! 😂 Que manera de correr !!😅🥵🥵.Me vino re bien para entrar en calor porque en Argentina esta haciendo mucho frio !!! Gracias Jules ! Nos vemos el lunes !❤👋👋👋
So glad that you enjoyed it and that it helped warm you up:)
Oh that was a cheeky wee workout. Got my heart rate up and I am a tad sweaty! Thanks Jules just what I needed on another miserable day here in the UK
Aw, sorry to read the weather isn't great:( I'm glad you found the motivation to work out and forget the weather for a little while.
@@ImprovedHealth its been truly awful. Apart from being wet its also been cold. Snow was forecast a few weeks ago on the Scottish mountains. Last Thursday it was 9 degrees C in my garden. Just really crazy weather
@@marie-theresehayes6875 We've had a lot more rain than usual this year, but thankfully most days are still very warm (28-32 C). Maybe you need to get away to Canada.😉
@@ImprovedHealth oh that would be fab! Love Canada.
Thank you❤
Thank you ❤
Praise God I did this today. Thank you for a wonderful workout.

Hello Jules from ARGENTINA!!!!!!
Wow that was quite a workout thanks😅
This one flew by and got my heart rate up. Note to self…put on your more supportive sports bra for this one🙃😂
Lol, I don't have that problem!
Good morning
Thanks
I’m 28 yrs old and on a fitness/weight loss journey. I’ve been doing RUclips workouts for a while now but only recently discovered your channel. I absolutely love low impact, all standing workouts. You’re my new go to channel for workouts. Thank you!
Oh YAY!!! Thank you SO much for sharing that with me, Alexandra. You have planted a big smile on my face this morning!🫂
Awesome! I used my Fitness Step instead of walking🥵
Great workout jules let's goooooo!!!!💛💛💛💛💛
Great ❤
😅 trop facile. Au début 😜 merci 🙏
Tres bien!
Wearing green, you get my eyes more comfortable. The screen is already too bright without your red shirt.
Loved this 🖐🥵
WOW Jules. How long or how many minutes or hours does it take to produce this video. Great work done. Sweating like a pig. Thanks for revving up my metabolism. Love the music. Love your outfit. You are greatly appreciated everyday but Mondays are the hardest to motivate .But with you around we thank you for your dedication in your career helping others to obtain great health and loving ourselves and what we look like. I know it takes awhile to see results From the bottom of my heart I thank you. Today is 118 degrees. Love you in the summer time indoors with ac. Have a great day.
Every video is different but on average a 20 min workout will take 30-60 min to plan; 30-40 min to set up and record; 1.5 to 3 hours to edit (depending if I need to create new clock colours, etc.) plus the uploading time; then 15-20 min to create a thumbnail (the main picture you see), and if I create a new music playlist that adds on 1-2 hours! I am just thankful you and others enjoy the workouts (I wouldn't be creating them otherwise!). Thanks for always taking the time to support me with your comments, Gail. It means a lot!
I love your videos and now that I see the immense amount of time that goes into to each one I love them even more and appreciate you more than you can ever imagine❤️
@@deborahfrancis5292 Aw, thank you!!!
Great class today, love the intervals. I'm really sweaty. Love your t-shirt and the colour. Where did you get it?
I picked that up recently at 'Winners' which is similar to Marshalls. I don't believe 'Winners' is in the US.
@@ImprovedHealth I'm Canadian and we have Winners.
Are you Canadian Jules?
@@sandihunter1260 Ah, yes...I have a hard time remembering where everyone is from. I picked it up a few weeks ago so you might find it at your local Winners.😉
Please change the patterns of exercise types because it gets boring to keep to the running fast pace after a while. Thank you
Hi! I usually do change up the moves but each workout has a different format, and the walking is what works for this one. The purpose is for people to walk, jog or run to cater the workout to their fitness level and they wouldn't be able to do that if I had more complicated moves. Hopefully you'll enjoy some of the other workouts I create.
Be still my heart...NOT! 😄Another new and great Monday workout, heart-stompin' and butt kickin' fun! I hope you're a RUclips millionaire or getting close to it - you definitely deserve it! I make sure I play the full ad on your videos and don't hit skip (no matter how much I want to...), I heard that helps! I encourage all your followers to do the same 😊
Thanks SO much for allowing the ads to play to the end, Yvonne. I appreciate that! Far, far, far from being a YT millionaire! I don't have nearly enough subscribers or views for that. I shall keep plugging away at providing the videos that I hope my viewers will enjoy. I'm glad you enjoyed this one!
@@ImprovedHealth I'll keep talking you up! 🥰
I LIKE this one. I feel like I exercised, but I'm not so tired I need to sit down and play Wordle and Connections for the next hour. THANK YOU!
Thanks - intervals are manageable but hip gave out at end 😢 - will keep at it…
Hi Mary, I would suggest avoiding the intervals if they bother your hip. The beginner level workouts might be better (not that you can't do the intermediate level, but it's more about your hips being happy).
@@ImprovedHealth Thanks for the recommendation, will do - and thanks for making today - my 71st birthday - better than ever!!!!!
@@MaryFox-em2fp Happy belated birthday, Mary!!! I wish you a wonderful 71st year.🎈🎈🎈
Just finished this workout. I was needing something to help with the plateau I’ve hit. How often would you advise doing this? Also, tech dummy here, finally figured out how to get the workout calendar videos on my TV😂. I do the intermediate for the day, then later I do the beginning one. Down 35 pounds since mid-November!
Oh WOW, Deborah! Down 35 lbs is AMAZING!!! You could do this workout every 2nd day if you wish. My recommendation is besides this one, start doing strength training (unless you are already), and try to do a longer workout once a week, too. The other days pick and choose what works for you. Congrats on your hard work paying off!
@@ImprovedHealth , I’m doing the All-in-One workouts. Do I need more strength training than that? I figured with those I’m getting cardio and/or intervals, too.
@@deborahfrancis5292 I might suggest adding the 10 minute strength workout I created recently onto the end of the days that you do the all-in-ones. It'll give you a little bit more but won't take a lot of extra time.
Fijne oefeningen !! Ik mis alleen de gezellige muziek 😊🇳🇱
Great workout! Thank you!
During stretching, is there an alternative to holding the foot behind with the knee bent? My TKR doesn't cooperate with that but I definitely want to stretch those quads. Thanks Jules!
You could place your foot behind you on a chair, or use a belt or towel to lift it without bending the knee too much. You'll also feel it in the quads when you bring a leg/foot back and just focus on moving your leg/foot until you feel it where you want to feel it (hope that makes sense!).
Thanks! And yes, makes sense!
Can please make a few three minute mini cardio workouts for us beginners .. thank you 😊
Hi Kristen, thank you for your request. I create 3 levels of workouts (gentle, beginner and intermediate). This is more of an intermediate level workout. If you head to my playlists, you'll see the gentle and beginner level playlists which have lots of shorter workouts (some being 5 minutes). My suggestion is to do as much as you can, and take breaks as needed. I'll also be adding more standing workouts soon to my chair channel which will be a combination of standing and seated exercises. These will help you to get stronger since you won't have to stand the entire time. I hope this info helps. youtube.com/@ImprovedHealthChairWorkouts
You can always slow down your pace and walk when she runs. Use your imagination lol!
Attempted 3rd workout of the day!
It was a success in that I completed the time, just at my own pace.
It's definitely a workout that I need to work at and improve on.
(Plus wear a decent bra while doing it!)
😆
A x 🎈
Lol, yes a decent bra helps:) So glad to see you here, Annette.
What is her name so I can look her up on RUclips to continue these exercises?❤
Hi Debby, my name is Jules and my YT channel is called 'Improved Health'. 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.
Hello
I am 53 years old lady
I have been training whit you for 5 months but l have many problems knee arthritis and pain in shoulder and a benign tomor in the pelvic cavity in the acetabukum . Should continue the exercises?
You can absolutely continue these exercises as long as your knee and shoulder allow you to. With arthritis, avoid exercising during a flare up, and ice if needed. Avoid any of the movements that you know will aggravate your shoulder (we all have different aches and pains but modify any moves that feel uncomfortable). If the overhead shoulder movements bother you, just reach forward instead and don't lock your elbows when you reach (keep them more bent). As for the benign tumor, that is something to ask your specialist (ask if there are any movements that should be avoided). I hope that helps! I create 3 levels of workouts so another option is to stick with the beginner level workouts if you want workouts that are a little more gentle.
Thank you so much
