On July 26, 2022, I started working out with your videos. As of today, I have lost 35 lbs. I used Fitbit to record steps and intensity and I gradually added more frequency. Your workouts have helped me mentally, as well. The music is fun and I look forward to my exercising.
Oh, what a great comment to read this evening. Congrats on taking charge of your health, Ruth! I’m thrilled to know I’ve been with you as you’ve worked on your goals to better physical and mental health. Kudos to you for sticking with it and continuing!
I have been doing these for 3 weeks now & loving them . I am almost 67 & wasn't getting any exercise at all . Am now doing 2 or 3 workouts a day & feel so much better . Thank you 😊 x
This video is SO WONDERFUL for those of us who suffer from clinical depression because we may just not feel like moving. I guarantee this WILL help! THANK YOU SO MUCH !!
Yes, definitely cold in Canada and nice to work out inside:) If you enjoyed this one, you can find plenty more like it under the 'beginner level' playlists.
I just found your video today. Loved it. Exercising to music, and I'm 75 yrs old so I could actually sing along, is a great way to take my mind off actually doing what's good for my body and health. I have 15 lbs to lose, and I think I can do it using your videos once, and maybe twice, a day. Thanks for being there.
Thanks so much for letting me know that you enjoyed this one. Just so you know, I create 3 levels of workouts (gentle, beginner and intermediate) and categorize all of the workouts into the playlists. You can also find the workouts categorized on my website (www.improvedhealthforseniors.com). Welcome to my channel, and thank you for subscribing!
Good morning my beautiful fitness friend ❤️ I am totally starting off my day with this one. I hope you have an incredible day ahead. If you are reading this and brand new here... welcome! You are going to love the workouts here ☺️
This dance-cardio-workout fun is a gem for when I’ve slipped in daily moving, and when I want to exercise and have limited time. And, yes, it’s a Mood Vitamin. Thanks, Jules.
Wonderful music. Prompted me to dig out the vinyl of my grandparents and listen to Otis Redding. Music is the best for so many reasons. Great to “meet” another who is so appreciative of music.
Thank you so much Jules. I just finished my first exercise. Last half year I went through the roller coaster. Pneumonia, hysterectomy and 3 weeks ago Covid. Outside is raining, so no gardening. You are my life line. 🙏🙏🙏
Wow, you have had a tough year! But, you're on the mend now, and the sun will absolutely shine again. I hope my workouts help while you look forward to being outside in the garden soon. 🫂
1 day late but day 22 done! ✔️😊👍🏻I had to work instead of exercising last night but the soulful voice of Kurt Davies made me do it twice tonight! Thank you Jules! 😁
Greetings to my dear elderly friends. This Special 10 minutes workout is dedicated for the elderlies with oldie music from the 50s. As we grow older, life is beginning to fall and elderlies seem to be rather isolated. However, let's promote a healthy lifestyle and enjoy being in the seniority for all our elderly friends. Let us engage senior citizens on social media, focus on topic that reflects their interests, health, well-being, hobbies, and family. May the peace and joy of our Lord fill our hearts as we put our trust in Him. Hallelujah!
11:35am. I am 69 and I love your workout videos. I am house bound because my husband is on hospice. Before I had to start staying home full-time I walked, water aerobics, yoga, and floor exercises. I am so thankful I found your videos. Love the workouts . Thank you
Thank you for letting me know that you are enjoying these workouts and also glad to read that you are taking care of your own health while also taking care of your husband. 🫂
12, 03 2023 DearJules, I feel old. You say it is an easy one, and for me it is hard because my muscles feel it afterwards. I am only 51, but somehow I feel senior. Anyway, thank you for this one; it is an instant favourite. I have been doing workouts with others as well, but now I am back with you. I have saved this one into my list of workouts. I just love it! However, it seems wherever I go I have bad luck. I had a great job and I lost it and now I am between jobs and running out of ideas. My figure is good on the other hand, because I have been exercising gently since 2, May 2022. I lost many kilos too, and I eat well and I enjoy it. But, I seem to get tired very quickly. Today, I had an hour slow stroll and that got me tired. Then I did my shopping, which I hate, and that got me even exhausted. Still, I came to do my exercises, so I am proud of me and I am happy about it. You are a great motivator with your lovely music exercises. I like these ones without talking and without weights. I am too weak for weight exercises. Thank you. I love your little end quotes or ideas and suggestions. Have a lovely night and a good sleep. Love Klári
Hi Klari, if your energy is low, it might be worth going to your doctor to see if you have low iron. It would be worth getting a blood test done to see if you're low on anything else as well. Sometimes there are reasons why we're exhausted and a blood test might give you some answers. I hope that might help.
I found this workout to be very helpful and I does this every morning before my daily walk to the park with my Granddaughter. I was having some back pains and these movements really helps. I love the music and like dancing . Thank you
Thank you so much for letting me know that you're finding this video helpful. It's also great to read that you get time daily with your granddaughter...that's wonderful:)
I always hope people put on their own music if they don't like what I choose. I'm glad you're able to enjoy the workout while listening to your favourite bands.
Phase 2 day 14! : ) I haven't done this workout for months and really loved it. The moves and music were perfect for a Sunday night after painting the garden shed all day! Lots of right arm exercise with my paint brush and plenty of steps up and down the ladders! Looks brand new! : D A x🎈
I have struggled with weight up and down since like 10 yrs old. As a middle aged adult woman until age 67 now...I struggle with no desire to move in the mornings but feeling guilty not moving and getting anything. It is my new retirement struggle. I tried this video this am, cuz I loved the music portion, I finished 7 minutes and hope to do 8 tomorrow!!! Thanks
I'm glad to know that you're enjoying this one, and that you want to start moving more. Motivation can definitely be a challenge but my suggestion is to not over-think it when you are about to exercise. Don't ask yourself whether you want to or not, because you likely don't want to. BUT, keep in mind that the movement WILL improve your future and keep you living independently longer, will help to decrease the chance of having falls or ending up in a wheelchair. Your future really depends on it. Since you're retired, you have time to add movement into your day. Ideally, put on the exercise videos in the mornings so that way you get energized, and will hopefully want to do more. I also wrote a post on my blog about a '2 minute movement challenge' which I hope will help. It's just adding in 2 minutes of movement every hour which adds up to a lot of extra movement throughout the day. My website is www.improvedhealthforseniors.com I truly hope that helps!
Welcome to my channel, Helen! I truly hope these workouts keep you coming back. If you don't feel like working out, my suggestion is to promise yourself at least a 10 minute workout each morning. We often don't feel like working out but once you start moving, it often will energize you and hopefully you'll want to do more. Exercise definitely helps with depression and helps to start the day off in a positive way. Once you feel ready, you can add more 10 minute workouts into your day. Congrats for getting started!
Thank you sooooo much for taking the time to create these type of videos (low impact workout). I’m 61, overweight and had hernia repair surgery last summer. I had gained even more weight after because of inactivity. This was the perfect workout to get me going. Thank you for uploading this content!❤😇🙏🏼
I am thrilled to read that these workouts are helping to motivate you to exercise, Virginia. Thank you for sharing that with me. I hope this is the beginning of enjoying exercise and being more active. Just so you know, I create gentle, beginner and intermediate level workouts on my channel. You can find them categorized in the playlists and also on my website (www.improvedhealthforseniors.com).
I'm more or less in the same situation and this workout video has rejuvenated me! I put the alarm on for every day at 3pm, turn on my own music and have a ball!
Thanks very much for taking the time to comment. Just so you know, I create 3 levels of workouts (gentle, beginner and intermediate) and categorize them all in the playlists. I hope you enjoy more of the workouts when you try them out. Welcome to my channel, and thank you for subscribing!
I just found this video today. It's a great way to start my day. I'll probably come back later today for a different workout. Thanks for getting this 66 year old woman motivated to work out.
27, 06 2023 Hi Jules, It was a good fit. Even like this I am sweating. I worked up a little bit of fitness and now I am losing it in the summer. It was very little but now I am going to lose it. I simply cannot do more than this. Anyway, l am grateful Jules that you posted this one. I keep it on my workout list I saved. Have a good night! See you. Klári
Thank you so much for sharing these videos with us!!! I have polycystic kidney disease and had to have a kidney transplant 10 months ago. I found your videos and they have helped me with recovery, and maintaining a healthy weight. I am so thankful for your videos!!! I can see myself getting so much stronger each day!!!!
I am SO glad to read that you are noticing how you are getting stronger each day...that is fantastic for me to read:) Thank you for sharing that with me.
I looked recently to see if he has new music that I can use but so far the songs are all too slow. I hope he comes out with some faster ones soon so I can use them in a new video.
Wow I've had a busy day and wasn't going do much in way of exercise, then I found this while on your channel. This is soooo Very good at making youove, smile and lifting your mood. I did it smiling and singing and that's what exercise at my age ..57..is all about. Don't need to be an athlete just want to feel fit, good and healthy and you tick all those boxes. Music really really helps when working out. I so enjoyed that ..thank you for taking time to do these. Very much appreciated 👍
Thank you for your great comment. I agree, exercise doesn’t have to be super hard to be beneficial. If it’s not enjoyed, it doesn’t get done. Thank you for letting me know that you enjoyed this one.
You are great, Jules, just great! Love this much! Thanks for the great music! Just got my lab tests' results, and all is well except for a hyperlipidemia. I'm in the category obese 1 so I got to continue these exercises, my doc says. I'm off to a good start doc says and I just gotta believe it's gonna be a good and beautiful year 2023 for all of us!💗💕❤️
5, 5 2023 Well, I normally feel like doing only light, easy, low-impact and at times lazy workouts. But I am not grumbling,because it is 1 year 3 days today, I set out on my journey of making exercise a regular part of my life; and I succeeded. Hurray! It is the first time in my life to have achieved this goal. I have tried and tried and started and stopped and re-started and left off exercising for the last 30 or more years! Now, I am a success. Now, I want to do it. I may skip some days BUT I always come back to exercise again. Just saying.. (: I want to share with you that there is a glimmer of hope of getting a part time job in a hotel, breakfast and cleaning. It is nearly 11 at night, I'd better get to bed. Good night, Jules and thanks.
That is a huge accomplishment, Klari! The fact that you keep trying says a lot about you and your determination. Workouts don't have to be super hard to be beneficial, either. It's great that you're choosing ones that you can do and ones that you can stick with. I hope you keep coming back:) I wish you luck with the possible new job opportunity!
Perfect for Valentine's Day -- certainly will help keep our hearts happy. Wanted to remember to compliment you on your motivational graphics at the end of your videos. Thank you for keeping us inspired to show up and keep moving.
Perfect workout for a lazy Sunday morning. You were right in your intro. I am ready to follow it with your 15 min walk, in your April calendar. Love you and your workouts. Thank you, for keeping us fit.
16, 11 2023 For a change I did it in the morning. (: Hi Jules, I recommended your lovely workouts to a friend of mine who would like to lose some weight and get healthier. This one was on the list. 😀 Let's hope it will help her together with the other workouts to get to love light and easy regular exercise.
I am so glad to read that you are changing it up and trying workouts in the morning! It's definitely a great habit to get into. Thanks so much for sharing my videos with your friend!
You definitely don't have to be a senior to do these workouts. I have a lot of very active seniors on my channel and I purposely create a variety of levels so they'll cater to different fitness levels. I hope you enjoy the workouts and enjoy the variety.
I am so happy I found you I am doing the 30 minute classes and they are perfect for me I love the way you do the classes your perfect and thank you I'm 70 and obese but I can do your workout and I just want to thank you 😂
I am so glad you're enjoying the workouts I create, Sandra. I'm guessing you already noticed, but I create 3 levels of workouts (gentle, beginner and intermediate). You can find all of the workouts categorized in the playlists. Welcome to my channel and thank you so much for your kind comment.❤️
We did this very fun workout to end our day. We liked everything about it! The music was great and the new moves (while a little challenging to learn at first) make the time go by really quickly. This will definitely be in our regular rotation. Thanks, Jules!!! ❤
Loved this video so energized that I did another one total of 30 minutes. Love the music and that era made such good music just saying. Thank you once again have a nice snowy brisk day ☃
This is the one we did after the 50’s workout. I just love it! I love to hear that young man sing!! The moves are fun and the balance moves are always great!
Hi! Thank you for taking the time to comment. Just so you know, I create gentle, beginner and intermediate level workouts (both seated and standing). You can find all of the workouts categorized in the playlists and also on my website (www.improvedhealthforseniors.com). I also have the no-talking workouts in certain playlists if you just want the no-talking workouts. Welcome to my channel and I hope you enjoy more of the workouts as you try them out:)
@@ImprovedHealth for all those reasons I am THRILLED I found you. And I’ve shared your channel with my sister.🤗 We are going to move it, move it!! Slowly but we need to start somewhere 💜👍 you have made it encouraging and easier TY!
Jules, this is an invigorating workout. Great music selection and good moves. Yes, indeed the music makes you want to get and move to the beat. Thanks a million!
First one of your videos I did and I am really grateful. Getting old and my motivation to exercise has gone. But this one said - easy, 10 minutes, great music. Well I started it and finished it, though at 75% speed, and I feel so accomplished and ready for the day. Thank you much!
Congrats on starting...and finishing it! Starting is definitely the hardest part. I create gentle, beginner and intermediate workouts and categorize them on my website. If you have a hard time starting, the gentle ones might be a good option, too. If you'd like, you can check out my videos on my website where they are categorized into fitness levels. I hope you continue to come back, Annette! www.improvedhealthforseniors.com
The workouts this week have been so much fun! I had good intentions of doing a regular cardio today but it didn't work out so this ended up being just perfect for today! I used 1 lb. weights to amp it up a bit☺ Have a great weekend!
Wow! This is awesome! I’m 68 years old but I prefer a bit faster moves but this is perfect especially the music super. Im glad I found your channel by browsing tonight. Didn’t want to do a high impact exercises so this is soooo perfect. Kudos to you. ❤️❤️
Welcome to my channel, Annie!!! I categorize all of my workouts on my website. It sounds like the intermediate level workouts are most suitable for you. You can check them out at www.improvedhealthforseniors.com
I am new to your video exercises, but I'm enjoying doing them. At present I'm suffering from trigeminal neuralgia which is causing me great pain, although the exercises don't help the TN they do lift my spirits. Thank you for your help with making exercise good.
Thanks so much for letting me know that you're enjoying the workouts so far. Just to let you know, I create 3 levels of workouts and all of the workouts are categorized into the playlists. I hope you enjoy more of them when you try them.
Thanks Marilyn! Welcome to my channel! 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 'beginner level' playlists. I hope you enjoy more of the workouts when you try them out.
Awesome! Love the music and the moves and your background. Thank you! This is great for a dreary day here in Chicagoland. Have a great weekend, Jules! I look forward to your videos next week. 💞💪🏻
Hi Jules: another amazing workout. I love the music. This workout was absolutely fun. Thanks for all the hard work to making this workout. Have a great day. 😅😅😅
This was a nice work out as someone with adhd and a foot injury, it was low impact so i wont be sore, but enough changes to keep my attention and not a super long comittment. I really enjoyed it.
Did a seated work out and then added this to end. First time trying your standing work out They are challenging as my legs and knees don't bend will but you made if fun. I downloaded all the low impact standing ones I could find. going to try and add it to a couple seated a week. I am in the right mind set right now to get my weight down and get my mobility and arthritis flare ups under control and you have a big part in my inspiration. Thanks again.
I am thrilled to read about your motivation, Catherine! I have gentle, beginner and intermediate level standing workouts so if you're adding them on, I would suggest to avoid the intermediate workouts at this time. Ideally, try the gentle ones but if they're too easy, then move up to the beginner ones. With having arthritis, you definitely want to start slowly and move up when you're ready. I look forward to hearing about your progress!
Thanks for your comment:) Just so you know, I create 3 levels of workouts (gentle, beginner and intermediate) and categorize all of the workouts into the playlists. If you liked this one, you can find more like it in the 'beginner level' playlists.
I looked at your playlists and I'm totally overwhelmed. So many to choose from! Would you please recommend a beginner one that isn't too long and includes a warm up so I don't have to look for one separately? Or should I do this video first to warm up? I love the music so much, I'm not sure if I'll stick to doing a different one but I'd like to try.
Hi Judy, I'm going to add a playlist for you to help you out. This is a beginner level playlist so just look for the amount of time you'd like to work out for, and then go from there. All of my cardio workouts and all-in-one workouts include a warm-up and cool-down. Here's the beginner level playlist which includes workouts under 20 minutes: ruclips.net/p/PLsPoR5SimhuW19IDYb6R7fgjHGU0B5GU
Let me try again: ruclips.net/p/PLsPoR5SimhuW19IDYb6R7fgjHGU0B5GU2&si=NeUArLe7oXHAFiJj It should work. But, if it doesn't, go to my channel (go to RUclips and search 'Improved Health'. You'll see 'playlists'. Look there and you can read the titles to different playlists. Look for the one in the second row down that says, 'Beginner Workouts under 20 min'. Click there and you'll have lots to choose from.
On July 26, 2022, I started working out with your videos. As of today, I have lost 35 lbs. I used Fitbit to record steps and intensity and I gradually added more frequency. Your workouts have helped me mentally, as well. The music is fun and I look forward to my exercising.
Oh, what a great comment to read this evening. Congrats on taking charge of your health, Ruth! I’m thrilled to know I’ve been with you as you’ve worked on your goals to better physical and mental health. Kudos to you for sticking with it and continuing!
@@ImprovedHealth so
Much more with e xerises
I have been doing these for 3 weeks now & loving them . I am almost 67 & wasn't getting any exercise at all . Am now doing 2 or 3 workouts a day & feel so much better . Thank you 😊 x
Oh wow! I am absolutely thrilled to read that you've changed from doing none, to 2-3 a day!!! Exciting to read about your progress, Jill!
This video is SO WONDERFUL for those of us who suffer from clinical depression because we may just not feel like moving. I guarantee this WILL help! THANK YOU SO MUCH !!
It is amazing what exercise and music will do for helping with depression. Thanks for pointing it out, Robyn.❤️
I have controlled my depression thru her ( and other) exercise workouts . I'm feeling better than I have in years!
I totally agree with you. Music motivates me to move!❤️
I have had circumstantial depression (never clinical) and
just want to say thank you for putting this on ...
Very helpful....
Thanks. Just what I needed as 66 retiree keeping warm and rejuvenated in cold and frosty Surrey!
Yes, definitely cold in Canada and nice to work out inside:) If you enjoyed this one, you can find plenty more like it under the 'beginner level' playlists.
I'm 39 and here for the good music (I'm an old soul) and short, simple exercise that's easy to incorporate into a busy day.
I'm glad to have you here, Mich.
I just found your video today. Loved it. Exercising to music, and I'm 75 yrs old so I could actually sing along, is a great way to take my mind off actually doing what's good for my body and health.

Exercise absolutely is a mood vitamin:)
Wonderful music. Prompted me to dig out the vinyl of my grandparents and listen to Otis Redding. Music is the best for so many reasons. Great to “meet” another who is so appreciative of music.
Oh, how fun breaking out the old music! I definitely love listening to a variety of music and appreciating it. I can’t imagine life without it.
My man Kurt and my girl Jules!! The perfect combo!!!!!!!!!❤❤❤❤❤❤
Lol, that made me laugh. Thanks Mary.🥰
Thank you so much Jules. I just finished my first exercise. Last half year I went through the roller coaster. Pneumonia, hysterectomy and 3 weeks ago Covid. Outside is raining, so no gardening. You are my life line. 🙏🙏🙏
Wow, you have had a tough year! But, you're on the mend now, and the sun will absolutely shine again. I hope my workouts help while you look forward to being outside in the garden soon. 🫂
Thankyou for keeping us oldies happy and motivated big thankyou👏👏🥰🤩🥳🥰👍
I am more than happy to help when I can.
Singing and dancing and moving with Jules and Kurt!! Woo Hoo!!!!
Aw, thanks Mary!
1 day late but day 22 done! ✔️😊👍🏻I had to work instead of exercising last night but the soulful voice of Kurt Davies made me do it twice tonight!
Thank you Jules! 😁

11:35am. I am 69 and I love your workout videos. I am house bound because my husband is on hospice. Before I had to start staying home full-time I walked, water aerobics, yoga, and floor exercises. I am so thankful I found your videos. Love the workouts . Thank you

12, 03 2023 DearJules, I feel old. You say it is an easy one, and for me it is hard because my muscles feel it afterwards. I am only 51, but somehow I feel senior. Anyway, thank you for this one; it is an instant favourite. I have been doing workouts with others as well, but now I am back with you. I have saved this one into my list of workouts. I just love it!

Hi Klari, if your energy is low, it might be worth going to your doctor to see if you have low iron. It would be worth getting a blood test done to see if you're low on anything else as well. Sometimes there are reasons why we're exhausted and a blood test might give you some answers. I hope that might help.
@@ImprovedHealth Thank you. However, I feel that my situation makes me feel low and it affects my physical strength too.
We decided to go with Kurt this evening; it’s always so enjoyable!!
I agree...his music is definitely enjoyable.
I love this one. It's perfect for a Sunday when I think I may not exercise at all. 'oh well, maybe just Jules 10 minute easy one.' Thanks.
Oh yay, I'm so glad to read that you decided to exercise today.💪
I did it with only 2 lbs weights. It was awesome. Music is wonderful too thank you. ❤
I found this workout to be very helpful and I does this every morning before my daily walk to the park with my Granddaughter. I was having some back pains and these movements really helps. I love the music and like dancing . Thank you
Thank you so much for letting me know that you're finding this video helpful. It's also great to read that you get time daily with your granddaughter...that's wonderful:)
I do this routine to my own music, and it fits perfectly into all the rhythms!!! Rolling Stones, Talking Heads, the Clash, B52s, the list goes on!
I always hope people put on their own music if they don't like what I choose. I'm glad you're able to enjoy the workout while listening to your favourite bands.
Just love this, its short enough to do both before work and later in the evening. Thank you
Thanks for letting me know you enjoy this one, Maria.❤️
Ended the day with this workout to such beautiful music/singing!
Thanks, Jules for this one!!
Kurt Davies definitely has a beautiful voice.
Phase 2 day 14! : )
I haven't done this workout for months and really loved it.
The moves and music were perfect for a Sunday night after painting the garden shed all day!
Lots of right arm exercise with my paint brush and plenty of steps up and down the ladders!
Looks brand new!

Aw, nice! It's always great to get that kind of stuff done and the reward is looking at a beautiful 'new' shed:)

@@dottieparker7274 I'm so glad to read that you're enjoying the exercise. I hope my videos continue to keep you coming back for more:)
@@ImprovedHealth Yes, I really enjoy your videos and my daughter thinks it's hilarious that I actually work up a sweat, but I do! 🤣
Chilling with Kurt this evening!
Aw, nice!
Thank you Jules. I’ve already been back and intend to carry on. It’s a morning thing for me! Puts me in a great mood for the day. Best wishes, Steph
Woohoo! Excellent to hear (read).😊
So glad I found this video tonight. I'll be starting these exercises tomorrow to a lot of my favourite sounds 💖
Thanks very much for taking the time to comment. Just so you know, I create 3 levels of workouts (gentle, beginner and intermediate) and categorize them all in the playlists. I hope you enjoy more of the workouts when you try them out. Welcome to my channel, and thank you for subscribing!
I just found this video today. It's a great way to start my day. I'll probably come back later today for a different workout. Thanks for getting this 66 year old woman motivated to work out.
I'm super happy to help you get motivated:)😉
27, 06 2023 Hi Jules, It was a good fit. Even like this I am sweating. I worked up a little bit of fitness and now I am losing it in the summer. It was very little but now I am going to lose it. I simply cannot do more than this. Anyway, l am grateful Jules that you posted this one. I keep it on my workout list I saved. Have a good night! See you. Klári
All you can do is keep trying, Klari. Every day is a new day!
Thank you so much for sharing these videos with us!!! I have polycystic kidney disease and had to have a kidney transplant 10 months ago. I found your videos and they have helped me with recovery, and maintaining a healthy weight. I am so thankful for your videos!!! I can see myself getting so much stronger each day!!!!
I am SO glad to read that you are noticing how you are getting stronger each day...that is fantastic for me to read:) Thank you for sharing that with me.
I’ll take “Kurt Davies for the win, Jules!”
I just love this workout!!!!
I looked recently to see if he has new music that I can use but so far the songs are all too slow. I hope he comes out with some faster ones soon so I can use them in a new video.
@@ImprovedHealth wouldn’t that be awesome? Thank you so much for all your efforts !!
Perfect little workout to add-on to the strength training. And great music which put a big smile on my face - 'Dock of the bay'! Thank you Jules 😊
Yay to smiling while working out:)
What a great way to end the week-dancing with Julie and singing with Kurt!!!
Enjoy your weekend! “See ya” Monday!!
Wishing you a nice Sunday:)
@@ImprovedHealth 💕
Wow I've had a busy day and wasn't going do much in way of exercise, then I found this while on your channel. This is soooo Very good at making youove, smile and lifting your mood. I did it smiling and singing and that's what exercise at my age ..57..is all about. Don't need to be an athlete just want to feel fit, good and healthy and you tick all those boxes. Music really really helps when working out. I so enjoyed that ..thank you for taking time to do these. Very much appreciated 👍
Thank you for your great comment. I agree, exercise doesn’t have to be super hard to be beneficial. If it’s not enjoyed, it doesn’t get done. Thank you for letting me know that you enjoyed this one.
You are great, Jules, just great! Love this much! Thanks for the great music! Just got my lab tests' results, and all is well except for a hyperlipidemia. I'm in the category obese 1 so I got to continue these exercises, my doc says. I'm off to a good start doc says and I just gotta believe it's gonna be a good and beautiful year 2023 for all of us!💗💕❤️
Great attitude! A 10 minute workout is a great start and hopefully it’ll energize you to do more each day. One day at a time:)
Oh, how I love this workout!!!!
Nice way to end the day.
Thanks, Jules!!
Thanks Mary.❤️
5, 5 2023 Well, I normally feel like doing only light, easy, low-impact and at times lazy workouts. But I am not grumbling,because it is 1 year 3 days today, I set out on my journey of making exercise a regular part of my life; and I succeeded. Hurray! It is the first time in my life to have achieved this goal. I have tried and tried and started and stopped and re-started and left off exercising for the last 30 or more years! Now, I am a success. Now, I want to do it. I may skip some days BUT I always come back to exercise again. Just saying.. (:
I want to share with you that there is a glimmer of hope of getting a part time job in a hotel, breakfast and cleaning.
It is nearly 11 at night, I'd better get to bed. Good night, Jules and thanks.
That is a huge accomplishment, Klari! The fact that you keep trying says a lot about you and your determination. Workouts don't have to be super hard to be beneficial, either. It's great that you're choosing ones that you can do and ones that you can stick with. I hope you keep coming back:) I wish you luck with the possible new job opportunity!
@@ImprovedHealth Thank you
Morning I used this one for part of my warm up before doing my weights 😊😊
Loved this, the icing on too after my walk and before my yoga! Thanks again!!
That sounds like a great combination of workouts:)
Perfect for Valentine's Day -- certainly will help keep our hearts happy. Wanted to remember to compliment you on your motivational graphics at the end of your videos. Thank you for keeping us inspired to show up and keep moving.
Lol, you threw me off with Valentine’s Day. Thanks for letting me know that you enjoy the quotes.
@@ImprovedHealth Our home looked so empty after removing Christmas decor, I cheated and put up Valentine's Day early . . . Sort of left that part out!
We did this to end our day. As you know, I really love this one!!!
Congrats for doing two today.💪
@@ImprovedHealth 😀
I did excersice with you every morning, I love it
Thanks for letting me know that, Maria.💖
Perfect workout for a lazy Sunday morning. You were right in your intro. I am ready to follow it with your 15 min walk, in your April calendar. Love you and your workouts. Thank you, for keeping us fit.
Thank you for your thoughtful comments.
Slept in this morning and this was just the trick to get me on the move! Thanks again for your program🥰
I’m glad to read the workout helped:)
16, 11 2023 For a change I did it in the morning. (: Hi Jules, I recommended your lovely workouts to a friend of mine who would like to lose some weight and get healthier. This one was on the list. 😀 Let's hope it will help her together with the other workouts to get to love light and easy regular exercise.
I am so glad to read that you are changing it up and trying workouts in the morning! It's definitely a great habit to get into. Thanks so much for sharing my videos with your friend!
@@ImprovedHealth But l am on holiday, Jules ! Otherwise, l go to work early, so l cannot add exercise in the morning.
Enjoy your holiday!@@42kellys

We did this very fun workout to end our day. We liked everything about it!
The music was great and the new moves (while a little challenging to learn at first) make the time go by really quickly.
This will definitely be in our regular rotation. Thanks, Jules!!! ❤
Thanks so much for letting me know that you both enjoyed this one. Listening to Kurt Davies definitely makes it enjoyable.
Loved this video so energized that I did another one total of 30 minutes. Love the music and that era made such good music just saying. Thank you once again have a nice snowy brisk day ☃
I love knowing that this one energized you and made you want to work out more. That was definitely one of my purposes for creating this video.
♥️ perfect for a time crunch…challenging without being hard…awesome!
Thank you for your comment:)
This is the one we did after the 50’s workout. I just love it!
I love to hear that young man sing!!
The moves are fun and the balance moves are always great!
Yes, he’s fantastic. You can find him on YT and Instagram. Kurt Davies.
@@ImprovedHealth , thank you!!

This video has helped me so much, recovering from surgery and regaining my strength. It has been my go to. please don’t ever take it down.

Hi Jules
Liz from Melbourne Australia here. You just seem to know what we want out here…exercise to upbeat feel good music. Thank you 🙏
Lol, aww, thank you, Liz. I miss my days in Australia and can’t wait to get back one day.
Thank you; I'm finding that even doing these 10 minutes; I seem to have the energy to do more throughout my day.
Yes! I'm so glad you are noticing how a short workout can help with energy!
First one of your videos I did and I am really grateful. Getting old and my motivation to exercise has gone. But this one said - easy, 10 minutes, great music. Well I started it and finished it, though at 75% speed, and I feel so accomplished and ready for the day. Thank you much!
Congrats on starting...and finishing it! Starting is definitely the hardest part. I create gentle, beginner and intermediate workouts and categorize them on my website. If you have a hard time starting, the gentle ones might be a good option, too. If you'd like, you can check out my videos on my website where they are categorized into fitness levels.

@@ImprovedHealth Thank you, and most certainly.
I love it, the music /moves. Nice to do as you’re winding down for the night! ❤🎉👍👏💕
Thanks Rose!
The workouts this week have been so much fun! I had good intentions of doing a regular cardio today but it didn't work out so this ended up being just perfect for today! I used 1 lb. weights to amp it up a bit☺ Have a great weekend!
Thanks for letting me know that you enjoyed this week’s workouts…I appreciate it.❤️
Wow! This is awesome! I’m 68 years old but I prefer a bit faster moves but this is perfect especially the music super. Im glad I found your channel by browsing tonight. Didn’t want to do a high impact exercises so this is soooo perfect. Kudos to you. ❤️❤️
Welcome to my channel, Annie!!! I categorize all of my workouts on my website. It sounds like the intermediate level workouts are most suitable for you. You can check them out at www.improvedhealthforseniors.com

Yet another fabulous workout. Thank you, Jules!
Love this quickie dance workout! Thank you for all you do.💃😊
Thank you Autumn Rain!❤️
I am new to your video exercises, but I'm enjoying doing them. At present I'm suffering from trigeminal neuralgia which is causing me great pain, although the exercises don't help the TN they do lift my spirits. Thank you for your help with making exercise good.
Thanks so much for letting me know that you're enjoying the workouts so far. Just to let you know, I create 3 levels of workouts and all of the workouts are categorized into the playlists. I hope you enjoy more of them when you try them.
I was honestly thinking of excuses why to not exercise today and then I saw this short one. Just perfect and now I feel a bit more energized :)
Woo hoo! Exactly why I created it:)
Thanks Ms Jules ,I like your movement 😘
Thanks Marilou:)
This was the one we added on after the 70’s workout this morning. I adore the music in this one!!!
Kurt Davies is great. I'll have to see what he's put out recently so I can create another one.
@@ImprovedHealth he is really good! I would love to see another workout with him.
Yea!! Two workouts today!!!!
And, I love this one so much!!!!
Yay! I’m glad to read that you managed to fit in two today:)
@@ImprovedHealth , that made us feel better, too!
Thankyou ❤
Excellent!!!🥰🥰🥰👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
About time we did this one again! So much fun!
So glad that you both enjoy this one.
Ending the day with one of our favorites!
I definitely enjoy the music in this one.
thank you so much, I love to this exercise with good music👍
Thanks Maria!
I was looking for a quick 10 minute workout and found this and absolutely love it! Thank you!
Thanks so much for your great comment.❤️
@@ImprovedHealth You're welcome!
another great workout. I did this at the end of a strength workout- I just needed a short one. The JOY of dancing and such lovely music. thank you.
Thanks for your great comment, Heather.
Music brilliant, workout wonderful, I haven't done any exercises for years like this, found them really enjoyable, thank you so much, 😍🇬🇧
Thanks Marilyn! Welcome to my channel! 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 'beginner level' playlists. I hope you enjoy more of the workouts when you try them out.
thanks again hugs Michele from London
wonderful. just the quick warm up in good cheer before mediation and bed. thank you!
Thanks for your comment, Helena.
Thank you for a wonderful workout.
Have a great day also. Thank you.
Love, love, love this workout!!!
What a nice ending to our day.
Thanks Mary.💖
Awesome! Love the music and the moves and your background. Thank you! This is great for a dreary day here in Chicagoland. Have a great weekend, Jules! I look forward to your videos next week. 💞💪🏻
Thanks so much for your great feedback, Dorothy. I hope the sun is shining for you this weekend:)
Hi Jules: another amazing workout. I love the music. This workout was absolutely fun. Thanks for all the hard work to making this workout. Have a great day. 😅😅😅
This was a nice work out as someone with adhd and a foot injury, it was low impact so i wont be sore, but enough changes to keep my attention and not a super long comittment. I really enjoyed it.
Thank you for your great feedback:)
Did a seated work out and then added this to end. First time trying your standing work out They are challenging as my legs and knees don't bend will but you made if fun. I downloaded all the low impact standing ones I could find. going to try and add it to a couple seated a week. I am in the right mind set right now to get my weight down and get my mobility and arthritis flare ups under control and you have a big part in my inspiration. Thanks again.
I am thrilled to read about your motivation, Catherine! I have gentle, beginner and intermediate level standing workouts so if you're adding them on, I would suggest to avoid the intermediate workouts at this time. Ideally, try the gentle ones but if they're too easy, then move up to the beginner ones. With having arthritis, you definitely want to start slowly and move up when you're ready. I look forward to hearing about your progress!
Just discovered this video. It beats all others, mostly because I love the music and it motivates me. Thank you.
I'm so glad you enjoyed it. Thanks for letting me know, Gloria.💖
Thanks for making exercise fun! I'm 77 and desperately needed this. So glad I found you.♥
Thanks for your comment:) Just so you know, I create 3 levels of workouts (gentle, beginner and intermediate) and categorize all of the workouts into the playlists. If you liked this one, you can find more like it in the 'beginner level' playlists.
I looked at your playlists and I'm totally overwhelmed. So many to choose from! Would you please recommend a beginner one that isn't too long and includes a warm up so I don't have to look for one separately? Or should I do this video first to warm up? I love the music so much, I'm not sure if I'll stick to doing a different one but I'd like to try.
Hi Judy, I'm going to add a playlist for you to help you out. This is a beginner level playlist so just look for the amount of time you'd like to work out for, and then go from there. All of my cardio workouts and all-in-one workouts include a warm-up and cool-down. Here's the beginner level playlist which includes workouts under 20 minutes:
ruclips.net/p/PLsPoR5SimhuW19IDYb6R7fgjHGU0B5GU
For some reason the link did not work. It takes me to my RUclips home page with a bunch of miscellaneous recommendations. Weird, huh?
Let me try again: ruclips.net/p/PLsPoR5SimhuW19IDYb6R7fgjHGU0B5GU2&si=NeUArLe7oXHAFiJj
It should work. But, if it doesn't, go to my channel (go to RUclips and search 'Improved Health'. You'll see 'playlists'. Look there and you can read the titles to different playlists. Look for the one in the second row down that says, 'Beginner Workouts under 20 min'. Click there and you'll have lots to choose from.
