20 min low-impact, manageable DANCE WORKOUT to get those endorphins fired up!

- Опубліковано 22 лип 2024
- Welcome to a short 20 minute dance workout which will fire up those endorphins and bring more smiles to your face! This dance workout is for anyone who loves to dance as a form of exercise. Besides dancing, I've added in moves to target the various muscles in the body to help tone and sculpt the body. This low impact fat burning workout is geared to get your heart rate elevated for all the great health benefits exercise brings. Have fun with the workout and think of it more as a dance party rather than it being exercise:) If you follow at my pace, the final step count is 2304 steps.

Fun little workout that really gets the blood pumping.
Thanks for your comment, Tessa.❤️
Yay Jules!!!🎉😅
You do make me smile!!! Thanks again
Dancing is my favourite interest in life!!!!
Thanks for this wonderful workout😻
Dancing is definitely a great mood booster!
Commented a year ago and it still holds. I'm still dancing, still enjoying it, and still thanking my stars I found Improved Health and you Jules. I actually do the fast jogs now and I'm pretty sure I wasn't doing that a year ago. Onward. Thanks.
Thanks for your awesome comment, Val. I hope you’ve had a nice Canada Day.
I've been out of the working out routine, so this was perfect way to ease back in, love the length and the message "If you feel like stopping, remember why you started!" Thanks Jules!
Welcome back to exercise, Liz! Hopefully the feeling you had after finishing the workout will be remembered each day to bring you back again:) Starting is definitely the hardest part.
❤ Jules!!
❤️Margot's emojis and kind comments:)
Jules, I have to be honest. It's 600 PM ans I chose this video because it was short, a dance video and your intro promised to fire up my endorphins But I forgot that it had squats, jogging,high knees, etc. And you kept your word! It fired up my endorphins!! Loved it!
If your legs are a bit sore today, a nice walk will help to work out some of the soreness:)
Another great shorter workout! So much packed into so little time. Thanks!
Thanks, Jules. Great to be back. 💪
I haven't done this one for a long time. Really enjoyed the music and variety of movements. I love how you keep me moving at age (almost) 69. Thanks Jules
Thanks for your great feedback.❤️
Day 7 Sunday 2nd June.
It must have been a while since I did this workout with you Jules and you were having so much fun!
You could have been night clubbing anywhere in the world!
Loved it.
A x 🎈
Lol, thanks Annette.🥰
Wee Saturday morning one. Forget about these older ones....they r sooo great❤❤
Excellent, not because it is short it is less effective. A warm greeting from Uruguay.
So true!
Wow!!!!!😅😅😅😅😅
Monday morning. Get up, feed the dogs, have a sip of coffee and check out what Jules has prepared for us.
20 some minutes, great, just enough to get sweating and feel good about yourself. Thanks, Jules. Like always, you get me going.
Thanks so much, Annemarie. Wishing you a great week ahead:)
I love it when we can "dance it out" our own way! I'm true to my Southern New Jersey-South Philly roots...I'm doin' the Mummer's Strut!!!
Lol, I have no idea what that is but I will google search it shortly:)
👏👏❤ Have a wonderful day, Jules!
Good morning! Thank you, Anuradha. 🥰
@@ImprovedHealth Evening here... we're ahead by 10 odd hours...hope your day is productive!
Hi Jules! It's the start of the working week here in the UK, and this workout is the perfect cure for 'Monday-morning-itis'!
It is a great mood lifter, and I enjoy the music as much as you do, love to see you dance! Your positive quote at the end is spot-on too. Many thanks once again 😀
I had to laugh at the 'Monday-morning-itis'...I hear you on that one! I'm glad to read this workout helped out:) 💗 Have a great week, Susan.
Thank you very much, Jules...the endorphins really needed firing up today, and they have!❤
I'm not a dancer by any stretch of the imagination....but this was so good, doable...20 minutes flew past, worked up a sweat and a small fat smile🙏
Lol, I'm glad to read the smile was on your face during the workout:) 💖💖💖
Thank you so much, Jules, for keeping us active and for sharing your music 😊🙏
Good dance work out after my day 6 strength training Thanks
Thanks Jane! Dancing is always a fun way to workout:)
Wasn’t sure what workout to do today. Well this workout was perfectly there ready for me when I logged into UA-cam on my tv. Some moves challenged my coordination, another great workout thank you. Liked the descriptions of what’s coming next too.
Thanks for the feedback, Stephanie. I'm glad that you enjoyed the workout (and trust me, my coordination was challenged, too!).
Thanks jules that was marvelous workout luv lorraine i feel 👍 great
Thanks Lorraine!
Hi Jules! I am starting the strength series again and wanted to do a cardio first. This workout was perfect - high energy and fun, so thanks for that. On to strength!
Kudos to you for getting back into the strength workouts! I’m so happy to read that news. And bonus that you’re adding in cardio, too!
I was in a "dancin' " kinda mood today...this one was j-u-s-t--r-i-g-h-t!
Went for an energetic walk and park visit with my five year old grandson, so this routine was just fine for this tired grandma, today. Thank you as always. Your routines are all amazing, as are you.
Aww, thank you so much, Jan. I'm glad to hear you had some fun time with your grandson...and yes, those little boys definitely have a lot of energy at that age!
Love your workouts! Very doable and enjoyable. Thank you!
Thank you!
Good Morning Jules....this was such fun and will be doing this again and again. A couple of moves were a bit hard and my coordination is not the best but I think the next time I do this workout it will be better. I know you'll be leaving on your trip soon, I hope and pray you have an amazing time, I do hope you family is going with you. Take pictures, put them on Facebook, to share with all of us......have a fabulous day....take care and God Bless....Anne
Thanks so much for your message, Anne. I'm glad you enjoyed this one! My trip is with my mom in September since my kids will be in school. It'll be mom/daughter time:)
So happy to hear that you are going to spend time with your Mom, it is so important. I lost my Mom in my late 40's and I miss her everyday. I know someday I will see her again. Do all that you can with your Mom, make lots of memories. I wish you well....take care and God Bless....Anne.
🥰🥰🥰
@@annesneed Thanks so much, Anne. 💖
This is SUCH a good cardio in itself or for a pre-strength workout as I'm doing today. It's very energetic and puts me in a happy mood because it's just fun! Thank you Jules!
Thanks so much for letting me know you enjoyed it. I had fun, too:)
Jules, loved this workout! Dancing makes working out so much fun! The 20 minute workouts are great for me to do every day! Thank you so much for all you do to help us stay in shape!❤️
Thanks so much for your feedback, Marsha. I'm glad the 20 minute workouts work well for you. I think a lot of people enjoy 20 minutes...manageable yet still gives a good workout.
Hi Jules! I want to thank you for your workouts. I'm 71 and doing 20 minutes a day. I love your style. So gentle, kind and encouraging. I'm actually enjoying this! Who knew?
See you tomorrow!
What an awesome comment to read this evening, Christine. Thank you so much for taking the time to write it. I hope you have enjoyed the next ones that you tried and I hope you like them enough to keep coming back:) Welcome to my channel!
Fantastic! Fast and fun all in one!🎉 Released the tension in my forehead. Thank you!🙌🤩
Woo hoo! Glad to read that it helped!
Thanks for this great workout Jules! I love that your moves are easy to follow. This quick workout is really good for me right now because I don't have much time here in the fall to workout. This gets my heart pumping and my step count started in the morning.
Good for you for working out in the morning to get your steps in early. I'm glad to read that this workout worked well for you. Thanks Belinda!
Buen lunes Jules!!gracias por tu rutina!!Mi día comienza contigo 🥰🥵🇦🇷❤
Gracias Nora. 🥰
Thanks Jules for another fantastic workout. Music is as great as always.Since I started following you, I have more energy,I sleep better and feel better about myself.Thank you for not letting me quit when I wanted to or go easy when I was tired.Who knew fitness training with Jules could make you feel young again.The quotes in the end are always appreciated.Stay blessed❤️
Aww, (I think I say that a lot with you!). I do literally say that, though, when I read many of your comments. You're very kind and I truly appreciate you taking the time to let me know how you feel with the workouts. Thank you SO much. 💖🥰💝
Just found you. I love you! Thank you for a fun and like the title says, MANAGEABLE workout! From Portland Oregon.
Aww, thank you for your lovely comment, Coleen. I create gentle, beginner and intermediate workouts and categorize them on my website (you can also find them in playlists on my YT channel). If you want to check it out, the website is www.improvedhealthforseniors.com (not only for seniors, also for beginners). Welcome to my channel!
Love this workout.Geri
Thank you!
Jules……Loved it! Going to do it again later!
Your comment definitely made me smile. 💝💝💝
I enjoyed this workout. I'm getting better and better!
Yay to getting better and better!!! 😁
Loved this workout, the new moves, upbeat music a real winner! Many thanks Jules.
Thanks so much for the feedback! I switched to a new music provider about two months ago so I'm glad to hear you enjoyed the songs I chose. 💖
FAB-O!!! I had my techno-jazz-fusion-groove goin' on!
Lol, love it!
A lot of work packed into this shorter workout. Thanks.
Thank you! Your workout is being such a great starter for me. I'm loving it and how it makes me feel.

Just to help you navigate the channel, I create 3 levels of workouts (gentle, beginner and intermediate) and categorize them all into the playlists. If you enjoyed this one, you can find plenty more at this same level under the 'intermediate level' playlists. I hope you enjoy more of the workouts when you try them out.
@@ImprovedHealth Thank you Jules! I am slowly starting up again after an injury. I will do your 20 min. workout for a few weeks and then plan to add more to my workout from your other workouts. I really like your approach. And you're energy is so positive. Thank you. Val
Liked the timing and I am sweating too! Thanks.
I'm glad to read that you got a sweat on:)
I am enjoying this one even more, every time I use this as my daily afternoon "slog" (aerobic exercise). Just enough of everything!
I'm so glad you're enjoying this one. I might have to bring this playlist back into a new workout soon.
Exactly the kind of w.o I needed for today. Thank you, I really enjoyed❗️
That’s great, thanks Liset!
thank you
I did it! Now to keep going this week. Thanks Jules. x
Yay! That's great! Welcome back!!!
wasn't feeling it today and this was the perfect length and mood lifter. still need to work on my co ordinations tho!
Kudos to you for working out when you didn't feel like it:) I had to concentrate as well with the moves.😉
Thanks a lot. I like your videos very much ❤❤❤❤👍👍👍👍🌹🌷🌹🌷
Thanks for sharing that with me.💖
These workouts are PERFECT for my mini trampoline!!! Thanks to your workouts, I'm stronger and confident enough to get back on my rebounder and this dance workout was just what I needed!! 😅
Thanks so much for sharing that with me.😄
Thank you 👍
Your enthusiasm is fantastic and contagious. THANK YOU 🙏 for your great workouts. 👍Many blessings. 💐
Aww, thank you so much for your comment, Patricia. I really appreciate it. 🥰
Hi Jules! Your energy was through the roof on this video and from a slow start this morning, I now feel energized! I am off to do a strength training video, but wanted to thank you for this one!
Music does that to me sometimes!
LOVED this workout! I will be doing this again!! THANK YOU SO MUCH!❣️❣️
Thanks so much for letting me know that you enjoyed it, Robyn (big smiles here thanks to your comment).
I wondered how my body would react to this dance immediately upon waking up in the morning. It was fine. Thank you so much Jules.💛
I'm glad to read that your body reacted well to the morning dance workout:)
@@ImprovedHealth 🙂
71 yo diabetes and artificial knees and first time using and I made thru the whole this. Not coordinated but with 3 lbs weights. Also used total video x 2 days now. Near a shower.
Congrats on making it to the end:) Just so you know, I create gentle, beginner and intermediate level workouts (both seated and standing). You can find them all categorized in the playlists and also on my website (www.improvedhealthforseniors.com). I hope you continue to enjoy the workouts!
Evening Jules. 😊
I don't play bingo but tonight I hit Day 44 Droopy Drawers!
And I gonna need to wear a belt soon to keep my comfy trousers up while working out! 😆
Loved tonights music! 🎶
Feeling positive! 👍🏻
Thank you! 🤩
Annette 🎈
Woo hoo!!! That’s great news about the droopy drawers! Lol
Having a crazy busy week but HAD to move today and chose this wonderful fast paced one to squeeze in. It was exactly what I needed and hopefully I can do short strength one a little later. Thanks again Jules for having so many workouts to choose from!
I'm glad to read that you had time to fit one in:)
Great workout! This just might be my favorite!
Oh wow, thank you for letting me know!
Thank you so much for your workouts love them I feel so good after doing them ❤
Thanks Liz!
New fun with Jules! My current faves are doing the 20 min standing ABs, then I do the Absolute Beginner Tabata workout finishing off with a few miles on my stationary bike. I also have been known to put on the ABBA dance video just for the fun and energy boost I get from the music. Thank you, so, so much.
That sounds like a great plan for the workouts...well rounded workout with those 3 choices.
I got my money's worth out of this workout (figuratively speaking). It had so much good stuff in it - dancing. squats, jogging - almost everything! Perfect before work workout! Thanks Jules!
I’m so glad that you enjoyed what was included in this one. I enjoy the same things in my workouts, too:)
Great way to start a Monday morning. I liked your last song. Certainly, any day you can exercise is a good day.
Thanks for your great comment, Barb.❤️
Hi Jules
This was a wonderful 20 minute workout ever. I absolutely love it. This is the great way to start the week. I love your new song. Have a great day. 😅😅😅
Thanks so much for letting me know that you enjoyed the new music and the workout:)
Thank you very much for the great exercise!
Thanks for taking time to comment, Pam:)
Another fun and energizing workout! Thank you so much, Jules!
Thank you for taking the time to comment:)
Thank you! this is one of my favorites!
Thanks for letting me know that.
Phase 2 day 10!
1/3 way through my 30 commitment to myself!
Thanks so much for your workouts and support Jules.
See you tomorrow.
A x : )
Congrats on making a new goal and sticking to it. I always love seeing your name pop up knowing that you're dedicated to your plan.❤️
excellent😍
I did this after work today. Perfect. I just moved with the music. No heavy thinking. It was a destressor for me. Woohoo.
Woo hoo! Thanks for your awesome comment. ❤️
This is a nice alternative to the 30 minutes one if time is tight.
Thanks for your comment:)
Hey Jules! I like this one...good beat, solid cardio bursts. Now, what we need are a couple more workouts that make our brains work, with varied arm movements that aren't entirely predictable. The old brain goes on auto-pilot for most of these arm patterns, so we need some "shake 'em up" new patterns that aren't the same old up, down, up down, back and forth, back and forth. We need "arms going one way, feet going the other way" challenges! Keep us old folks sharp---and cardio-fit!
Thanks Jan. This one is a bit older…I think I’m improving with different options with the newer videos:)
Will do this tomorrow. Had a real slump last week. Did absolutely nothing all week and I mean nothing. No exercise no housework. Just couldnt be bothered. Need to get back at it.
It can definitely be hard to get back to a routine after a vacation away. I love your honesty, Marie-Therese. I hope to see a comment soon from you saying you did this workout (maybe just commit to 10 minutes to start). I'd knock on your door and get you moving if you lived closer!
Jules great workout luv lorrai ne❤😂😂😂
Thanks Lorraine!
That was just what I needed!
Thanks Pauline...I'm happy to read that you enjoyed it.
Hi Jules… I was so tired today, but I have been noticing how Easy it is now to straighten up at the knees. So, I worked out despite being dreadfully tired and down in the dumps. My reward?!? I can now do repeaters. After about five months of working out with you I can finally do repeaters. That may not seem like a big deal to some, but for me it’s a milestone, especially given how hard a day I had. And I love repeaters now, along with those “dreadful” squats. Although I’ve always liked squats (I guess I’m weird!), except for the one time when I spread my feet out too far and lost my balance and went backward into the chest-of-drawers! 😄 Thank you Jules, for all you do to help us all of a certain age get into better shape. I’ll be seventy-five in April. I can hardly believe it. Seventy-five typed out looks so old, but I don’t feel old. Yay! 🌺 A flower for you…
Oh, my gosh. I was smiling reading your comment but when I got to your words saying, "I'll be seventy-five in April", my smile couldn't get any bigger! I love, love, love how you are here and working out with me and getting stronger every day. This is why I started this whole journey of UA-cam. I truly wanted to help seniors (and anyone really), but seniors in particular since too many people stop exercising as they get older. You are proof that strength can continue to improve if you take the time to exercise. I am absolutely thrilled for you, Louise. Almost 75, and STRONG. Kudos to you for taking care of yourself and for working out because you know it's good for you (and makes you feel so good after). As for the repeaters, those are absolutely tough so congrats for now being able to do them!
Okay, late start, well after 10pm but here's the thing. I'm dancing. I don't know when I went from plodding along to having a bounce in my movements. Thanks Jules.
Wow! 10 pm workout! I love how you had a bounce in your step.❤️
@@ImprovedHealth A year later and I'm still at it. I can hardly believe this. Still bouncing :)
@@TheValSawyer I love reading that!
Very beautiful thanks for your work ❤️❤️❤️🌹🌹❤️❤️❤️❤️🌹❤️❤️❤️❤️
Thanks Amal:) 🥰
What a wonderful uplifting 20 minute session Jules ❤️🤗❤️ What a beautiful way to start the week. I have to be honest when you said Bye before the stretch I said No Bye Bye (apparently out loud 😂) but then you came back for a two minute stretch and I was extremely happy ❤️🌈❤️ 🌈❤️ Just wonderful. Thank you so much for creating and see you tomorrow 🌈❤️🌈
Thanks Mala! Your comment made me realize I likely should just go right into the stretching rather than seeming as though the workout is completely done. I definitely want people to stick around for the stretching. I sometimes keep the stretching shorter (like today) since I feel that people won't stick around if it's too long. Thanks for letting me know that you enjoyed the workout. 🤗
@@ImprovedHealth I love everything about all of your workouts Jules. For me personally, the reward at the end of a workout is really the stretch at the end 😊 Especially your stretch routine 🤗
@@malamaurer4043 Good to know, thank you for sharing that with me. I agree that the stretching part is definitely important (and great for relaxation after a good workout, too).
@@ImprovedHealth Yes!!Yes!!Yes!! Nice way for my brain to register as well as to "the show is over...nothing more to see" 😂 Go back to your task at hand 🧼🧹💻
Loving your re workouts, especially with the weights and high intensity. 4 1/2 stone down now and much is due to following your sessions. Thank you, thank you, thank you.
Congratulations Ali!!! That's amazing! Kudos to you for working hard to see the results you are seeing. I look forward to continuing to hear about your future progress:)
Great as usual! Thanks!
Aww, thanks Heather. ❤️
Hi Jules, I loved doing this workout!! After not being able to do standing ones for a few days,it felt amazing to do this one today. And the music was SO good. It all made me feel very happy. Thank you!
Thanks for dancing with me, Valerie. 💖
l like how you mix walk jog run in some videos i can combine this with your newly strength training program as my cardio workout, please do more.👍🏽
Thanks for that feedback:)
Thanks a lot, dear Jules! 🙏💐🍯🍯
Thanks for taking the time to comment, Ofra.
Loved it
Thank you!
Good day from the Oregon coast :) Enjoyed this workout very much, so much fun. Looking forward to what's next🤗🦋
Thanks so much for taking the time to comment, Sharon. I now have to google map the Oregon coast:) Okay, so I just did...wow! Beautiful!!! I look forward to driving that coast one day.
We did this one this morning; what fun!!!! Thanks, our workout buddy!!!
You always make me smile. ❤️
Good morning Jules! Here is my summary of this week, tomorrow I won't have time to write because I'm super busy. I have done every single cardio workout and immediately after the strength. It has been Wonderful, I feel my whole body finally is coming back as well as my "lost" muscles!! I have liked all the workouts, my favorite was the Tuesday Kick boxing workout. I love the fact that you have been increasing little by little the strength exercises every day and today the punching abs in the floor was great! Your music is always good. What I love the most is the "I" need to be very organized always, and your monthly schedule is so great because I know exactly was is coming next day. It is great. Also the "variety" of your workouts is fabulous , you move everyday different muscles. In summary, you are phenomenal, love your daily quotes because it helps me to keep up with a positive attitude which today a day is so necessary . Any ways, I won't write so much always , but just so you know, I'm addicted to your exercises and I'll follow you for ever, you help me to change my life again. Thank you!
Wow! I am incredibly grateful for your feedback, Ana. I always want to help others and make a difference so I am very happy to know these workouts have made a difference to you. Thank you for taking the time to let me know. It is definitely appreciated. Plus, it’s comments like yours that keeps me wanting to create more so thank you for that.🥰🥰🥰
Doble appreciation❤ Team work!
nd thank you for a great class
Thanks Alizah:)
Short and sweaty! Exactly what I needed today and I enjoyed every minute of it. My legs were a little sore from yesterday's tabata workout and this video had a lot of good leg movement so it felt good to work that soreness out. Loved the music. Thanks Jules!
I’m glad to hear that you enjoyed a sweaty workout:)
Started out the week with a big bang with this workout. The moves were doable and the pace was challenging : most I kept in time, a few a bit slower. I enjoy the prompts, but your moves, Jules, are clearly defined. No sloppiness with you leading, so thank you for a well developed routine. Now some ABBA!... (in a bit!)...Anastasia
Aww, thanks once again Stacey.
That was a great workout, Thank You!
Thanks Stacey!
Thanks for leading me through the end. I am sweated a lot and feel happy.
I love that the workout made you feel happy. 🤩
That was a good workout, or I need to do a bit more exercise!!
You're doing great if you're doing this one:)
Day 86! ✅️👍🏻😊
Another great workout Jules followed by a mini clubbing session! 💃
Looking forward to tomorrow night!
Have a lovely day x
I can imagine that you must have been at the dance clubs all the time in your younger years.
Thank you for great workout ;-)
Thanks for taking the time to comment:)
fun!
Thanks Jenn!
This was my day 4 of series 4,I loved it
Good choice:)
