    Already a year and a half doing my exercises with Jules every day and I still love her! She is the best. Very seldom I miss a day, these exercises has change my life, my attitude, MY HEALTH, my stamina, it has been a wonderful experience and I'm not planning to stop it any time soon. Thank you Jules for making my life so healthy, you put a lot of effort in thew music , in the calendars (which I LOVE) with all the routines, the planning of what the next day will be , the variety, it always makes me happy to do my exercises in the morning, and of course, like you always say: I try to "challenge"my self a little more everyday so I can be stronger and stronger. I can't say Thank you enough Jules!!Thank you, Thank you!

      I truly appreciate your comment and feedback, Ana Maria! It makes me very happy to know that you enjoy the workouts enough to come back each day after 1 1/2 years. Thank you so much for letting me know that. And, kudos to you for prioritizing your health and for making that extra effort to challenge yourself to continue to get stronger, too.🫂

    I did this one today. But when I saw the quote “be grateful you are able to move” I almost had to pause. I’ll be 63 July 31. At this age no way my mom could do this. She did not take care of herself. We lost her at 75. I M so grateful for being able to move! Thank you for helping me do just that !

      Thank you for letting me know how meaningful the comment was for you, Nora. I appreciate that. I cycle most days and each time I get on my bike, I think of how grateful I am to be able to use my legs to bike. We never know what life will bring so each day that my legs move me, I'm thankful.

    Hi Jules! This workout was just what I needed today. My father had a heart attack a month ago at my home. We got him to ER in the nick of time. He had bypass surgery and is doing well now. I have missed exercising and my health is even more of a priority now. To everyone reading this comment, Do not take your health for granted! It can change in a moment of time. I encourage everyone to take care of yourself by eating right and exercising with Jules!! 💕

    OK I'm not going to lie. When I saw 40 minutes I groaned. LOL Then I got to moving and I thought, ok this isn't so bad, switching every 20 seconds made it doable. Then when I got to the 30 minute mark my body was rebelling but I kept insisting we finish and finish I did. I definitely worked up a major sweat and it felt WONDERFUL to get it done. Thanks for another challenge and upbeat workout.

    • @ImprovedHealth
      @ImprovedHealth  Год назад +3

      Lol, I am not surprised about the groaning since I think a lot of people likely did the same thing when they saw the 40 min! I don't typically make longer cardio workouts because I know most people feel the same way as you. A HUGE congrats to you for doing this workout despite not wanting to, Carrie! I am so glad to read that you worked up a good sweat, kept going when you didn't want to (that says a lot about you!) and felt wonderful when you finished. You DID it...and now you can fully enjoy the day ahead:)

I wrote a blog post on my website last week which might provide you with some helpful tips. My biggest tip is to start strength training as well. The combo of cardio and strength will definitely kickstart your metabolism and have you reaching your goals quicker. www.improvedhealthforseniors.com If you're not a senior, not to worry, the tips and these workouts apply to all ages:) I hope you'll share your progress as the weeks and months go on!

      @@VtRD It really is amazing how fit we can be as we age if we continue to work out consistently throughout our lives. I was chatting with my 78 year old uncle yesterday who I haven't seen in a long time and I found out he hikes regularly and often does 3-4 hour hikes on trails (which include up and down terrain)! I was amazed, and it really goes to show what we're capable of if we stick with it.

"Improved Health" solves the problem of not having the other when I'm ready to workout. I also do a martial art called Kuk Sool Won and this is a marvelous complement to that.

    Like a well-written book, this cardio walk had all the elements to keep mind and body engaged, the 40 minutes flew past( almost:)). Again, like a great novel is un-put-downable, there was no stopping, once I started this. I did not quite make the 4800 steps, but I was close and am proud of myself.

It got a little tough for me the last 10 minutes but I was really enjoying it so pushed through to the end. Even my knees are sweating! I loved all the arm movements and the pace was perfect for a 40 minute cardio. Thank you!

      Hi Susan, welcome to my channel and thank you for letting me know that you're new here. 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. My hope is that if you return daily for exercise, you'll start to feel better mentally, and that your blood pressure will start to come down, AND you'll sleep better. There are so many benefits (beyond what we see on the outside). I've heard of lots of people no longer having sleep apnea after working out regularly. I truly hope you enjoy more of the workouts when you try them out.

I do the 25 minute cardio workout which I've been doing now for almost 9 months, and daily other than a month or so when I got an under the desk elliptical but I figured out quickly that the elliptical is great but cannot be an adequate substitute for the cardio workouts!! Stumbled on this one last week and have begun doing it instead of the 25 minute one. Didn't think I could do it, but it's so easy to follow and I surprised myself that I did the entire 40 minutes!!! Have been doing this one now for about a week - every day without fail - and this morning I did the 25 minute one AM and this on in the afternoon!! SO GRATEFUL TO MOVE!!! I'll be 64 this year, and I have type 2 diabetes. Over the past 2 years I've lost 92 pounds (12" in my bust!!) and am SO THANKFUL for your videos!!! God bless you!!!
