Added this one to the end of my routine this morning. It was a nice ending to my workout. For those of you that are just starting out, CONGRATULATIONS, you won't regret it. I started working out to Jules two years ago by just doing the 15 minute workouts. I can remember how it was a challenge to get through it but I kept at it and eventually I was doing more and more each day. I also found that I had more energy and I started to feel accomplished and healthy again. Jules has videos for all fitness levels and gives great examples of moves you can do when something isn't working out for you. I promise you will see and feel the difference. Thanks again Jules for all you do for us in creating these videos and motivating us to keep at it.
I love love love your 10 minute walks! I do 3-10 minute walks daily interspersing them with either upper or lower body specific workout sessions so they are perfect. And love the 30 second walks between the exercises on some of the sessions. And this one with the wonderful quotes is the best of them all! So thank you. 🤗 Really appreciate you and your workouts. 💥🥰
Thank you so much for your great feedback. I love that you're using the 10 min walks throughout the day to get in more physical activity. Thank you for taking the time to write your uplifting comment. It's definitely appreciated!🥰
Fabulous little workout just what I needed as an add on to other exercise. I’m truly grateful that I’m able to exercise. I’m 58 years old, I have inflammatory arthritis & have been exercising daily for 2years 3months. I feel stronger now than I have in a long while. Thank you for all your workouts.
It's great to read that you've been exercising consistently to help with the symptoms of arthritis. So many people stop moving, and you've done the opposite which is great!
loved this! Shared it with my coaching group.... some of whom are seasoned exercisers. The motivational thoughts throughout this video are great reminders that "Baby I'm worth it!"
What a beautiful workout. It's another gentle workout to add to my repertoire when I'm not up for a more strenuous workout, but I do want to get my movement in for the day.
I pick this one for the night instead of watching TV. I make sure I do some kind of exercise in a day or night ❤😊😊 I feel so much better when I do exercise. Thanks Jules ❤️
This wonderful lady does the best workouts I love them all and at 66 years old I love using different ones each day mix and match for me I love them all the 15 minute ones are my favourites I do 3 each day at intervals thank you jules 🥰🥰
This little workout saves me when it all gets too much. Heart failure, weight, diabetes, serious kidney disease, getting old, and those days when it’s all too much is when I go back to this one. I do this and those snippets of motivation actually help to clear my sads. I’m not really getting better but I’m not getting worse and every day is a new day, 🎉
Thank you for taking the time to write your comment, Roseanne. You are so right that every day is a new day. Kudos to you for bringing yourself to the workout ‘floor’ to be as healthy as you can.❤️
I'm back! 😊 I thought I'd restart exercising with your 'Gentle Motivational Walk' The quotes were very encouraging and they triggered a little fire that I thought had gone out! Going to do another workout after this one. Thank you Jules for everything you do for us on RUclips and behind the scenes. A x 🎈
Oh YAYYYYYY!!! Welcome back to regular exercise, Annette! You chose the perfect workout for restarting with the motivational quotes. I'm so glad to read that the fire inside of you is back! 💃
AMAZING!!! Doesn't it feel great? I've been working out lots more than usual as well and have to say feeling strong is the best feeling. I'm so glad you're feeling the benefits. Consistency really makes a difference.
Hi Jules! Loved this walk! In fact, I loved it so much that I did it twice in a row. 🤣 It's awesome how even with gentle exercise, I am gaining benefits. Additionally, so many of the motivational messages in today's video felt like they were truly for me. Thank you yet again for another great video that will become part of my rotation! --Sandy
I loved this gentle walk, Jules💙, and shall follow it up with a strength session in a bit. Thank you for the nuggets of wisdom...I sometimes do forget how fortunate I am to be able to exercise in some form, many thanks for reminding me. I look forward to continuing my journey to improved health with you🚶♀
32 years old, found this channel looking up home workouts; I haven't been active in a long time and for many years I've struggled and failed to lose weight, and now I'm using a CPAP machine, am pre-diabetic, and going up and down stairs/walking around the neighborhood or down a city street SUCKS. I've tried anything you can think of to get healthier and going to the gym is a nightmare, surrounded by other guys my age who are bulky/muscular and I can barely lift a dumbell. Perhaps I'm being hard on myself, but you get the idea. I'm gonna try these workouts out. Good luck to everybody on their health journeys!
I am absolutely thrilled to have you here. Honestly, you CAN do this. You don't need to go to a gym to get fit and strong. My recommendation is just to make sure you come back EVERY SINGLE day. I'm not saying that to have you come back and use my workouts. I'm saying it because making fitness a daily plan will help you to reach your goals, and it'll make movement a habit. Once you start doing these more, you'll WANT to come back because you'll be feeling really good, and you'll miss it if you don't work out. To help you get started, I have 3 levels of workouts on my channel (gentle, beginner and intermediate). I also have various strength training videos. If you're totally new to strength workouts, please let me know and I'll include some that I hope you might enjoy. If you have some experience lifting weights, I'll suggest other ones. Just let me know in a reply, and I'll add the links for you. I would love for you to enjoy movement and exercise and I'm more than happy to help guide you with various videos. In combination with these workouts, just try to eat healthy. Don't diet. Eat, but aim to eat healthier foods and ensure you eat enough protein throughout the day. And, drink lots of water throughout the day (always have a water bottle with you and when you're hungry, drink water first, and then have your snack or meal). Don't ever quit...you CAN succeed. I have a great post on my blog which I truly hope will help to inspire you. These are of seniors, but the message is the same, we can all get stronger: www.improvedhealthforseniors.com/post/age-is-just-a-number-seniors-who-inspire
@@Qdogg411 Excellent! You can start with any of the gentle or beginner cardio workouts (try some out to see which ones work best for you). I have strength workout calendars on my website. If you go to my website, you'll see the 'workout calendar' tab at the top of the site. I have created 6 levels of calendars. Maybe start with the first level, see how those workouts feel, and then go from there. If you don't like them, let me know and I'll give you other ones to try.

Can I first say you look super today. So fresh looking and very trim and your hair is lovely. Hope that OK to pass on. This was a lovely wee one. I did at end to chill and the motivational quotes were spot on. Another winner❤
Just found this. I am 73 and have been inactive for awhile. I've tried walking at the gym but I can only do two rounds and my back hurts. I'm extremely overweight and trying to get myself healthy enough to walk longer. I have added this to my daily routine doing it every couple of hours throughout my day. Thank you
Hi Jackie, thanks for taking the time to write a comment. I love your idea of doing this every few hours. That's a great way to make it manageable, yet getting in lots of steps within the day. I create 3 levels of workouts (gentle, beginner and intermediate) and categorize all of the workouts into the playlists. You'll find plenty more like this one in the 'gentle level' playlists. I also have all of the workouts on my website at www.improvedhealthforseniors.com. Welcome to my channel! I hope you enjoy more of the workouts when you try them out.

Thanks for letting me know that you're enjoying the workouts, Shelley, and welcome to my channel! I have the 3 levels categorized in the playlists (gentle, beginner and intermediate).
Good Tuesday morning 🌄 I pick this one to do before work. Instead of watching TV 📺. I am so glad that I found your workouts. I am exercising more ❤❤❤ Thanks again ❤😊
After 4 months of anxiety I am slowly getting myself back up on my feet and this is my first exercise today! Yay! Proud of myself and so grateful to you for your motivation and your videos!
I absolutely love your workouts....they are my favorite ones that I've ever found. I do at least 2 of them every single day and I feel so healthy and strong. Thank you so much!!!
High Jules, your inspirational words were awesome! Thank you soo much, just what I needed yo hear to start my day. Thank you for giving soo many people hope, peg fr Atlanta
I have been enjoying the Improved health workouts. There are so many of them, it's hard to choose. Right now I am doing Gentle ones due to illness. Thank you for helping me recover.
Hi Joanne, thanks so much for letting me know that the gentle workouts are working well for you right now. In case you aren't aware, I categorize all of the workouts into the playlists and also have them all on my website at www.improvedhealthforseniors.com. Hopefully that'll allow you to see all of the gentle ones together so it'll be easier to choose. Once you find your favourites in the playlists, you can hit 'save' under the video and put them into a favourites file. I hope that helps!
Thanks so much for your great feedback. I'm glad to read that you enjoyed the various things in the workout. Thank you very much for subscribing to my channel, too!
I just want to say thank you for all your wonderful workouts. I started doing your them a few months ago and I can't believe that I've stuck with it. Although I have tried a lot of your other workouts, this one is still my favourite. I am also doing your beginners strength training 3 times every week. I now feel much fitter than before, have much more energy and I'm losing a bit of weight. I am so grateful to you! I'm definitely going to keep going with this!
Thank you SO much for taking the time to let me know that you're enjoying the workouts that I create. I LOVE reading that you're sticking with it and feeling the changes. A massive congrats for adding strength training on 3x a week, too. It really makes a difference when strength workouts are added in. One day at a time and you'll continue to see changes.💪
Thank you SO much for letting me know that you enjoyed this one. If you look at my playlists, you'll find lots of workouts similar to this one under the 'gentle level' workouts. I hope you enjoy more of them. Welcome to my channel!
Hello Jules ☺️. I just finished the two workouts again ❤. I feel so happy 😀. My paracetamol helped me alot and the pain isn't as bad this morning 😊. I went grocery shopping first thing and had a really lovely time at the checkout 😅. The two ladies were so funny 🤣 and we all had a great laugh 😄. This fed my mood for a happy exercise session 😊❤😊. I'm going to do some rebounding later on this afternoon after my lunch has gone down. Thank you again for being there 😊.💐🙏💐
Added this to another 20-minute workout this morning, and it was a perfect workout. I also liked the motivational words throughout the video. They're always so helpful. Thanks!
I can’t workout for more than 10 minutes because off my chronic Lyme disease. But I did want to get more exercise. I started with 10 minutes once a day and now manage to do it sometimes twice a day. I am curious to see if I will manage to expand thuis further, but am already very happy with this. Thanks for the gentle workout, you help me a lot with this. I know I will never become an advanced fitnessgirl, but exercise is something everyone needs. On bad days I skip or walk alone on the music while you do the exercises. I can adjust it to how much i can handle that day. Thanks again for providing this opportunity. Regards, Dieuwke from the Netherlands.
When I was in the Netherlands last year my family there told me how bad the ticks are...I thought it was a North American thing. Kudos to you for searching for appropriate workouts that you CAN do and for modifying them as needed. I truly hope over time that you will be able to do more. For now though, I hope you take pride in knowing that you are doing what your body can handle.🫂
I have a Parkinson's decease (I am just 40 y.o.) but I must keep moving every day, even now when the weathet is hot. So, thanks Jules for workouts which are not over difficult and get me movtivation for keeping move despite the hot weather. I have just done 3 workouts in a row from this playlist, partly with my children (10, 12, 14 y.o.). Thanks and love from Ukraine.
Hi Liz, I had a guest join me for a specialized Parkinson's workout which is on my other channel. It's a seated workout, but you can modify and do it standing as well. It's a great workout. I'll add the link to my other channel for you so you can try it. It is under my most recent videos: youtube.com/@ImprovedHealthChairWorkouts My girls are 11 and 13...fun ages! I'm so glad your kids are working out with you (at least part of the time!).
@@ImprovedHealth Several days ago I known about your another chanell. But now my health lets me to do usual workouts, without sitting. Maybe later... I will share your second channel with other people who need it. Thank you for your job :-*
Good morning Jules:) Thank you sooooo much for this short but powerful exercise video!!! A very peaceful way to start the morning. Your encouraging words were the icing on top of the cake. Thank you for caring about all of us by doing these videos and adding encouragement:) Have a wonderful day Jennifer
Easy going but heart awakening prerequisite for Day 3 of your strength training routine up next. This exercise couples well on days when active chores are scheduled I truly enjoyed this routine, Jules!..Anastasia
28, 10 2023 Hi Jules, do you think it's crazy to choose the easiest lightest exercises to do? These last 7 days since I started exercising I kept going for these gentle and easy exercises. I am starting to feel like exercising again, I managed a week without break against odds since I am taking strong antibiotics for my toothache. But I enjoy, yes, I love these ones now. I am a bit afraid of the ones I used to do because they are too hard for me now. Anyway, I am glad I have found this gentle walk. It's the first time I did it. Lovely video, nice background picture.
If you love these ones, I'd absolutely recommend sticking with them. If you ever want to do more, just add on an extra one later in the day. No pressure, though. For now, enjoy movement and be proud that you're returning each day.
Welcome to my channel! Just so you know, I create 3 levels of workouts (gentle, beginner and intermediate). You can find lots more like this one in the gentle level playlist.
I am 77, 40 lbs overweight and recovering from breast cancer surgery last month. This video has made me so hopeful of getting my energy back. Thank you for the inspirational words. Watching from Idaho. Margie
Thanks for your great feedback, Margie. I create 3 levels of workouts (gentle, beginner and intermediate). If you liked this one, you can find plenty more at this level under the 'gentle level' playlists. You can absolutely get stronger again. Welcome to my channel!
I just want to say thank you so much for creating these gentle walking workouts. I had lower back surgery a month ago and had a titanium disk and four screws put between my L4 and L5 vertebrae. I was told to not exercise for another two months when I went for my 2-week checkup. After not exercising for four weeks, I could tell that I was losing muscles in my legs and arms and I didn't like it! I realized I will have to start completely over from the beginning to build up my muscles again. I am 68 years old, so am not looking forward to having to start over! Anyway, I found your RUclips channel a long time ago and so I checked to see if you had any easy videos I could do without hurting anything in my back since I'm not supposed to Bend, Lift or Twist (BLT makes it easy to remember but also makes me hungry!). This video is perfect for me! I wanted to start out slowly with about a 10-minute video and I found this one and a couple other gentle ones. They are helping to build back my muscles slowly without hurting my back. I also really love the motivational blurbs you put throughout this video. They encourage me to keep going. I really appreciate you and your willingness to help us old folks! Thank you from the bottom of my heart! I think you are awesome!
Good morning, Betty. I want to say a HUGE thank you to you for writing your comment/feedback. I truly appreciate that you took the time to let me know what you enjoy about the gentle workouts and I'm so glad to read that you are taking it slowly as you build your strength back safely. I wish you all the best as you gain your strength back.💖
I needed those reminders. This was a great wake up gentle morning routine. Most morning workouts on RUclips are way to rigorous for the morning. My brain is not fully awake yet. Great routine.
I'm recovering from a minor procedure, and today is the day marked "Some gentle exercise"...so this one was perfect! It'll be a few more days before I can get back to vigorous exercise, so I'm super appreciative of all the choices you've provided for every level of exercise intensity. Sure do miss my good cardio workouts, so I have good self-motivation to ease back into things!
Phase 2 day 6! ✅️😊 Wow Jules! Loved all the motivational quotes with each exercise, they're so true! 6 months in and I was able to make your workout my own by adding a little squat here and there, a little jog and slightly higher kicks than when I first started! You alone are keeping me on track! Thank you superwoman! 🦸🏼♀️ A 🎈
Thank you for yet another inspirational and motivating video...including the awesome words during these 10 minutes...I have adapted them, and will strive to live by them ♥ I also appreciate the lovely music you often use (especially the 60, 70 and 80s) Much better than the uptight beats of other peoples' videos :)
Thank you! I'd love to use the popular music from the 60's-80's more often but there are always issues with using copyrighted music. I create them occasionally as a thank you to my viewers.
Thank you very much! You made my day begin with positivity today! I am a bit sick and I sad a wasted day but when I saw 10mins for beginners and low impact and got out of bed and did them slowly. I am so satisfied now that I did something good today. Thank you for the month claendar I only saw this today and subscribed to this channel thank you.

I am new to your videos and I love them. I just subscribed. I am 70 years old and I have fibromyalgia and arthritis and a bad knee. I love the variety of your workouts. Depending on how I feel I can combine workouts to do a shorter or longer combination of videos. Sometimes I do the gentle walk and then a more vigorous one. If a move is difficult I can modify it. I also do the standing abs workout. I’ve lost around 25 pounds in the last 13 weeks and as I lose more and the exercise gets easier I will try some of the longer videos. Thank you for these videos. They keep me motivated. ❤
Thank you so much for taking the time to write your comment, Martha. I am very happy to read about the progress you're seeing in 13 weeks...that's amazing and I certainly hope you are very proud of your accomplishments so far. Congrats for not making excuses, and for finding workouts that work for you each day. I'm so glad that the 3 levels provide you with the variety you need to keep going. Kudos to you for your determination to keep moving forward! I definitely look forward to reading about your progress again in the future.
Congrats for being here, and for working out. A gentle workout is still exercise, and great for the body & mind. You can find lots more like this in the 'gentle level' playlist.
Over the years I have tried various exercise videos but have never been able to maintain them. Since finding these I have been doing one almost every day. At 68 years old I am keen to keep my body working, my blood pressure down and avoid diabetes. If I lose weight that would be a bonus. Thank you so much for the variety of such manageable routines.
I LOVE that you are working out for better health and I am so glad that you're enjoying these workouts. I will be getting back to adding more workouts at this level again soon. Thank you so much for letting me know that you appreciate them.❤️
Just completed this workout Jules. I miss your soft and gentle voice guiding us along and letting us know what’s coming up. I couldn’t really read what was on the screen because the color of the print was too light, at least on my side. Don’t know if anyone else had the same problem or not, but another great workout. Got my heart rate up and I can feel it in my legs, so did one of your stretching videos.
Thanks for the feedback about the light print. I do talking and no-talking videos, but the no-talking are definitely more popular. It's always a difficult decision for me to decide which ones to make.
Added this one to the end of my routine this morning. It was a nice ending to my workout. For those of you that are just starting out, CONGRATULATIONS, you won't regret it.

That's very kind of you to say, Allyson. Thank you!!! I'm glad that you enjoyed the quotes, too:)
Just found this. I am 73 and have been inactive for awhile. I've tried walking at the gym but I can only do two rounds and my back hurts. I'm extremely overweight and trying to get myself healthy enough to walk longer. I have added this to my daily routine doing it every couple of hours throughout my day. Thank you
Hi Jackie, thanks for taking the time to write a comment. I love your idea of doing this every few hours. That's a great way to make it manageable, yet getting in lots of steps within the day. I create 3 levels of workouts (gentle, beginner and intermediate) and categorize all of the workouts into the playlists. You'll find plenty more like this one in the 'gentle level' playlists. I also have all of the workouts on my website at www.improvedhealthforseniors.com. Welcome to my channel! I hope you enjoy more of the workouts when you try them out.
I’m 80 , this is a good morning workout, thank you.

Thank You! 🥰
8 days out post surgery and so glad I found your channel. I just did the 10 minute walking workout-slowly. Felt great to move!!
Thanks for letting me know that you're enjoying the workouts, Shelley, and welcome to my channel! I have the 3 levels categorized in the playlists (gentle, beginner and intermediate).

Thanks for your great comment, Peggy.💖
I have been enjoying the Improved health workouts. There are so many of them, it's hard to choose. Right now I am doing Gentle ones due to illness. Thank you for helping me recover.
Hi Joanne, thanks so much for letting me know that the gentle workouts are working well for you right now. In case you aren't aware, I categorize all of the workouts into the playlists and also have them all on my website at www.improvedhealthforseniors.com. Hopefully that'll allow you to see all of the gentle ones together so it'll be easier to choose. Once you find your favourites in the playlists, you can hit 'save' under the video and put them into a favourites file. I hope that helps!
Always love your workouts. They are so joyful. This one is especially inspiring. Thank you!
Thank you!!!
j'adore les pharses motivantes, la décor, le temps chronometré, votre sourire! vous êtes inspirante
Thanks so much for your great feedback. I'm glad to read that you enjoyed the various things in the workout. Thank you very much for subscribing to my channel, too!
Multumesc!
I love this as alternate to walking outside in the elements.
I'm so glad that you're enjoying these ones.
I just want to say thank you for all your wonderful workouts. I started doing your them a few months ago and I can't believe that I've stuck with it. Although I have tried a lot of your other workouts, this one is still my favourite. I am also doing your beginners strength training 3 times every week. I now feel much fitter than before, have much more energy and I'm losing a bit of weight. I am so grateful to you! I'm definitely going to keep going with this!
Thank you SO much for taking the time to let me know that you're enjoying the workouts that I create. I LOVE reading that you're sticking with it and feeling the changes. A massive congrats for adding strength training on 3x a week, too. It really makes a difference when strength workouts are added in. One day at a time and you'll continue to see changes.💪
This is just what I needed since I have not exercised for a long time. The motivational quotes were awesome! I'll be back tomorrow!😁
Thank you SO much for letting me know that you enjoyed this one. If you look at my playlists, you'll find lots of workouts similar to this one under the 'gentle level' workouts. I hope you enjoy more of them. Welcome to my channel!
I liked this one too. I like to share your channel with friends to encourage them if they want to start a gentle exercise program.
Thank you SO much for sharing the channel with others.❤️
Hello Jules ☺️. I just finished the two workouts again ❤. I feel so happy 😀. My paracetamol helped me alot and the pain isn't as bad this morning 😊. I went grocery shopping first thing and had a really lovely time at the checkout 😅. The two ladies were so funny 🤣 and we all had a great laugh 😄. This fed my mood for a happy exercise session 😊❤😊. I'm going to do some rebounding later on this afternoon after my lunch has gone down. Thank you again for being there 😊.💐🙏💐
Oh, wonderful! I'm so glad that you got out, enjoyed movement and exercise and had a good day overall. ❤️
Bue día Jules ,! Gracias por la rutina de hoy !!saludos 👋👋 🇦🇷 🇦🇷🙋♀️
I Love this gantle Workout thank you Jules pls more Like this 🙏💐👍
Thanks for your great feedback.
Added this to another 20-minute workout this morning, and it was a perfect workout. I also liked the motivational words throughout the video. They're always so helpful. Thanks!
I'm kind of a sucker for quotes...I find they definitely help.
I can’t workout for more than 10 minutes because off my chronic Lyme disease. But I did want to get more exercise. I started with 10 minutes once a day and now manage to do it sometimes twice a day. I am curious to see if I will manage to expand thuis further, but am already very happy with this. Thanks for the gentle workout, you help me a lot with this. I know I will never become an advanced fitnessgirl, but exercise is something everyone needs. On bad days I skip or walk alone on the music while you do the exercises. I can adjust it to how much i can handle that day. Thanks again for providing this opportunity. Regards, Dieuwke from the Netherlands.
When I was in the Netherlands last year my family there told me how bad the ticks are...I thought it was a North American thing. Kudos to you for searching for appropriate workouts that you CAN do and for modifying them as needed. I truly hope over time that you will be able to do more. For now though, I hope you take pride in knowing that you are doing what your body can handle.🫂
Thank you, just added this to warm up before yoga. 🙏🏼❤️
A good choice for a warm-up:)
I have a Parkinson's decease (I am just 40 y.o.) but I must keep moving every day, even now when the weathet is hot. So, thanks Jules for workouts which are not over difficult and get me movtivation for keeping move despite the hot weather. I have just done 3 workouts in a row from this playlist, partly with my children (10, 12, 14 y.o.). Thanks and love from Ukraine.
Hi Liz, I had a guest join me for a specialized Parkinson's workout which is on my other channel. It's a seated workout, but you can modify and do it standing as well. It's a great workout. I'll add the link to my other channel for you so you can try it. It is under my most recent videos: youtube.com/@ImprovedHealthChairWorkouts
My girls are 11 and 13...fun ages! I'm so glad your kids are working out with you (at least part of the time!).
@@ImprovedHealth Several days ago I known about your another chanell. But now my health lets me to do usual workouts, without sitting. Maybe later... I will share your second channel with other people who need it. Thank you for your job :-*
Love your videos. So simple and gets you going. Thank you! ❤
Thank you! I always keep the 'gentle level' workouts simple and less complicated so I'm glad to read that you enjoy them.

Good morning Jules:) Thank you sooooo much for this short but powerful exercise video!!! A very peaceful way to start the morning. Your encouraging words were the icing on top of the cake. Thank you for caring about all of us by doing these videos and adding encouragement:) Have a wonderful day
Jennifer
Thanks for your wonderful feedback, Jennifer.🥰
Easy going but heart awakening prerequisite for Day 3 of your strength training routine up next. This exercise couples well on days when active chores are scheduled I truly enjoyed this routine, Jules!..Anastasia
Thank you!
I love this! I use this before strength training and the quotes inspire me. Thank you
I'm so glad to read that the quotes are helpful. Thanks for letting me know.
Hi Jules! Perfect short workout after meal. Thanks
Thank you!
Good morning.The best start for the day.
Thank you!!!!!
28, 10 2023 Hi Jules, do you think it's crazy to choose the easiest lightest exercises to do? These last 7 days since I started exercising I kept going for these gentle and easy exercises. I am starting to feel like exercising again, I managed a week without break against odds since I am taking strong antibiotics for my toothache. But I enjoy, yes, I love these ones now. I am a bit afraid of the ones I used to do because they are too hard for me now. Anyway, I am glad I have found this gentle walk. It's the first time I did it. Lovely video, nice background picture.
If you love these ones, I'd absolutely recommend sticking with them. If you ever want to do more, just add on an extra one later in the day. No pressure, though. For now, enjoy movement and be proud that you're returning each day.
I just discovered your videos. Loved this workout ❣️❣️ Many thanks 🥰🌸
Welcome to my channel! Just so you know, I create 3 levels of workouts (gentle, beginner and intermediate). You can find lots more like this one in the gentle level playlist.
This was really good and motivational. The positive affirmations were great! This really got me going. Thank you for an amazing video✨🌹✨
Thanks for your great feedback, Crystal!
Hi jules amazing little work out really enjoyed doing it thank you 😊😀 xx
Thank you for this!
I am 77, 40 lbs overweight and recovering from breast cancer surgery last month. This video has made me so hopeful of getting my energy back. Thank you for the inspirational words. Watching from Idaho. Margie
Thanks for your great feedback, Margie. I create 3 levels of workouts (gentle, beginner and intermediate). If you liked this one, you can find plenty more at this level under the 'gentle level' playlists. You can absolutely get stronger again. Welcome to my channel!
I just want to say thank you so much for creating these gentle walking workouts. I had lower back surgery a month ago and had a titanium disk and four screws put between my L4 and L5 vertebrae. I was told to not exercise for another two months when I went for my 2-week checkup. After not exercising for four weeks, I could tell that I was losing muscles in my legs and arms and I didn't like it! I realized I will have to start completely over from the beginning to build up my muscles again. I am 68 years old, so am not looking forward to having to start over! Anyway, I found your RUclips channel a long time ago and so I checked to see if you had any easy videos I could do without hurting anything in my back since I'm not supposed to Bend, Lift or Twist (BLT makes it easy to remember but also makes me hungry!). This video is perfect for me! I wanted to start out slowly with about a 10-minute video and I found this one and a couple other gentle ones. They are helping to build back my muscles slowly without hurting my back. I also really love the motivational blurbs you put throughout this video. They encourage me to keep going. I really appreciate you and your willingness to help us old folks! Thank you from the bottom of my heart! I think you are awesome!
Good morning, Betty. I want to say a HUGE thank you to you for writing your comment/feedback. I truly appreciate that you took the time to let me know what you enjoy about the gentle workouts and I'm so glad to read that you are taking it slowly as you build your strength back safely. I wish you all the best as you gain your strength back.💖
Love these videos! Just perfect for what I need to be doing!!!❤
Thanks so much for your feedback.❤️
Thanks
Thank you for your
Great morning workout!
Thanks Cathy!
Lovely to have a really short workout i can do on my lunch break. Thank you
I needed those reminders. This was a great wake up gentle morning routine. Most morning workouts on RUclips are way to rigorous for the morning. My brain is not fully awake yet. Great routine.
Thanks so much for your lovely feedback. I enjoyed reading it.😀
I'm recovering from a minor procedure, and today is the day marked "Some gentle exercise"...so this one was perfect! It'll be a few more days before I can get back to vigorous exercise, so I'm super appreciative of all the choices you've provided for every level of exercise intensity. Sure do miss my good cardio workouts, so I have good self-motivation to ease back into things!
Glad to read that you're easing back into it...definitely the wisest thing to do. You'll have lots of time to get back to the other workouts.
Phase 2 day 6! ✅️😊
Wow Jules!
Loved all the motivational quotes with each exercise, they're so true!
6 months in and I was able to make your workout my own by adding a little squat here and there, a little jog and slightly higher kicks than when I first started!
You alone are keeping me on track!
Thank you superwoman! 🦸🏼♀️
A 🎈
Thanks so much for your kind comment, Annette. Btw, I love seeing that you're back on track again.💖
Thank you for yet another inspirational and motivating video...including the awesome words during these 10 minutes...I have adapted them, and will strive to live by them ♥ I also appreciate the lovely music you often use (especially the 60, 70 and 80s) Much better than the uptight beats of other peoples' videos :)
Thank you! I'd love to use the popular music from the 60's-80's more often but there are always issues with using copyrighted music. I create them occasionally as a thank you to my viewers.
Love this one!!!
Thanks Kate! You can find plenty more at this level under the 'gentle level' playlists.
Thank you very much! You made my day begin with positivity today! I am a bit sick and I sad a wasted day but when I saw 10mins for beginners and low impact and got out of bed and did them slowly. I am so satisfied now that I did something good today. Thank you for the month claendar I only saw this today and subscribed to this channel thank you.

@@ImprovedHealth will try to figure out the beginner playlist then. Tomorrow I will search for try to find the 2nd feb link or wait for the video it will be uploaded before I wake up like today. Thanks so very much. I am from Malta
Fantastic!🙏🏼💖
Your words of encouragement are appreciated. Even non-beginners like myself can use this for a pleasant walk after a meal.
I think we all need the reminders of the quotes once in a while.
Love the inspirational messages ❤
Thank you!
I’m 63 and starting today! It was a good workout for me.❤

Loved it Jules...perfect for a very hot day...did it twice 😜
I'm happy to read that you enjoyed it enough to do it twice!
I am new to your videos and I love them. I just subscribed. I am 70 years old and I have fibromyalgia and arthritis and a bad knee. I love the variety of your workouts. Depending on how I feel I can combine workouts to do a shorter or longer combination of videos. Sometimes I do the gentle walk and then a more vigorous one. If a move is difficult I can modify it. I also do the standing abs workout. I’ve lost around 25 pounds in the last 13 weeks and as I lose more and the exercise gets easier I will try some of the longer videos. Thank you for these videos. They keep me motivated. ❤
Thank you so much for taking the time to write your comment, Martha. I am very happy to read about the progress you're seeing in 13 weeks...that's amazing and I certainly hope you are very proud of your accomplishments so far. Congrats for not making excuses, and for finding workouts that work for you each day. I'm so glad that the 3 levels provide you with the variety you need to keep going. Kudos to you for your determination to keep moving forward! I definitely look forward to reading about your progress again in the future.
C'était super merci. Je suis du Québec canada
Merci beaucoup!
I needed these gentle video excercise right now. Health issues.
Congrats for being here, and for working out. A gentle workout is still exercise, and great for the body & mind. You can find lots more like this in the 'gentle level' playlist.
Over the years I have tried various exercise videos but have never been able to maintain them. Since finding these I have been doing one almost every day. At 68 years old I am keen to keep my body working, my blood pressure down and avoid diabetes. If I lose weight that would be a bonus. Thank you so much for the variety of such manageable routines.
I LOVE that you are working out for better health and I am so glad that you're enjoying these workouts. I will be getting back to adding more workouts at this level again soon. Thank you so much for letting me know that you appreciate them.❤️
Just completed this workout Jules. I miss your soft and gentle voice guiding us along and letting us know what’s coming up. I couldn’t really read what was on the screen because the color of the print was too light, at least on my side. Don’t know if anyone else had the same problem or not, but another great workout. Got my heart rate up and I can feel it in my legs, so did one of your stretching videos.
Thanks for the feedback about the light print. I do talking and no-talking videos, but the no-talking are definitely more popular. It's always a difficult decision for me to decide which ones to make.
Thanks for all you do it's the best training and the words to encourage you who appears during the exercise that help a lot!😅👍
Thanks Jacqueline!
