  • In today's workout we are changing it up and adding in some new exercises. It's time to bring in some strength exercises to speed up your metabolism and make it work for YOU (even when you rest!). We'll start with a 5 minute warm up then will be doing 1 minute of cardio and then 1 minute of strength exercises. We'll finish with a 5 minute cool-down.
    If you are new here, please start with series 1 and 2 since in each series we progress to a bit more of a challenging workout so you GET RESULTS. Each series is a total of 7 days which you are to follow for a total of 4 weeks before moving on to the next series. It allows your body to adjust to each program.
    Who is this workout for?
    This interval training program is suitable for anyone who can currently walk for 30 minutes 4-6 times a week. If you are at that fitness level then you can start this program (suitable exercise for seniors, beginners, and people of all ages). Interval training is geared for burning calories and fat, building muscle, and getting past that plateau effect that so many people hit. Interval training uses brief bursts of high-intensity activity which provides the effects people are looking for...more results!
    The breakdown of each day:
    Day 1: Intervals: 1 minute fast and 1 minute slow x 7
    Day 2: 25 minute cardio and strength workout
    Day 3: Intervals: 2.0 minutes fast and 1.5 minutes slow intervals x 4
    Day 4: Stretching
    Day 5: 60 minute cardio workout
    Day 6: 20 minute heart pumping strength workout
    Day 7: 20 minute cardio workout

    The minute intervals between strength and cardio sure did make this zoom! How you can think of EVERYTHING (demo the move, suggested weight to use, encouragement, modifications, how much time is left, and what's upcoming) while doing the workout yourself is most impressive.

    The first time I did this my 2 pound weights were too heavy. Now my 3 pounds weights are too light. How crazy is that? Keeping with it and starting somewhere is the best advice in this video. It does get easier.

    That’s what I like best about your workout. I can make it my own and don’t feel like I have to follow you completely. I want to get 30 minutes or more with my workouts. If the daily workout is under 30, I go back to the beginning and do the warm up faster, then go back to the cool down. Love working out with you!😊

    Wow! This really challenged me but it was great! I see that I did it a few months back but it felt brand new today. I didn't have to modify much but did have to stop for water a couple of times. I really liked how different it was moving from strength to cardio. Good one Jules! Thanks.

    • @ImprovedHealth

    Loved this! The exercise where you modified for yourself was helpful as sometimes i think modifying means i am weak or unfit. Now i know it's self care.

    • @ImprovedHealth
      @ImprovedHealth  3 года назад +1

      You are absolutely right, Esther! We all have different limitations or injuries and we have to cater workouts to our own abilities and needs. There are lots of exercises I can't do due to past injuries and I think most people over a certain age are in the same boat. Modifying absolutely means self-care and prevents further injuries:)

    @lta2356 3 года назад +1

    Thank you. I have been discouraged by pain in my arms for months despite medical and physio intervention. For the first time today, I picked up weights for this program. While it still hurts, it is not causing major pain cos I can modify as you recommended. Thank you for your instructions, these are helpful. Love your programmes. Thank you. I hope I will get well soon and adjust accordingly. I will follow this programme for 4 weeks and let you know the outcome. Or else, you will end up getting multiple thank you notes. :)

    Hello..Second day and done it and satisfied with my effort.Thank you Jules your soothingly voice motive me to do all the exercises. Only thing is that I can't raise my both arms in one go so I lift my arms alternat. Is that alright na? My back of the neck hurts if I raise both of the arms. In squat exercise I done it with both arms. Feeling good 🙏🙏🙏
