I like those short workouts
Love it! Perfect for when you are short on time! Thank you Jules! 😁

Many thanks as always!
😁🎈
I love the happy dance, Annette.❤️
Estos videos han cambiado mi vida. Muchas gracias ❤
Oh wow! Thanks so much for taking the time to write your comment. I'm so glad you're enjoying the various workouts.
No talking, just moving. Perfect! Thanks!

Thank you Jules! 🎈
Thanks Annette!❤️
Fantastically fast and furious! I loved the 15-sec format, it has really given me such a boost💜Thank you so much, and hope you have a fabulous day🥰
So glad that you enjoyed it, Anuradha.❤️
@@ImprovedHealth 🙏
My wife and I love this one. We’ll wear this one out, if that’s possible.
Lol, thanks Michael.
I'm very happy to have found your web site. You bring back fond memories being a fitness instructor another life time ago. I've been working out with you for quite some time. I enjoy the variety of the videos, especially the short ones. I've always been active. The moves are very familiar and sometimes when I'm exercising with you I pretend I have a class in front of me. The moves are very familiar and sometimes when I'm exercising with you I pretend I have a class in front of me. I'm now 81 and still keeping up with you.
You’re living proof that exercising through life will keep you going as you get older. I LOVE that you are 81 and keeping up with me. Kudos to you for taking care of your health and fitness, Gail.💪
Just spent 5 hours in the garden clearing plants and tidying the greenhouse. Dont think I could do this today but will def give it a go tomorrow. A good warm up for even more gardening. Making the most of some dry days to get things in order before winter.
5 hours! That's definitely exercise:)
Just discovered this sweet li'l workout on my UA-cam. It definitely goes onto my "pause that refreshes" list for when I'm stuck doing something that requires sitting & focusing for an extended period. The music & upbeat tempo, the variety of movements, the beautiful backdrop are just what it takes to get the circulation going and my brain uncluttered. Thanks again! ❤️
Thanks for your awesome feedback.🥰
Just perfect, from the variety of moves to the music. Didn't want it to end, so I had to do it twice! Thank you for making my day, Jules 😊
Aw, nice! So glad that you enjoyed it enough to do it twice.😊
Love the 15 second intervals!!
Thanks for the feedback:)
This was our first time for this one. Wow! That was a great workout for such a short time!
Thanks, Jules!!
Love this short workout Jules. I also always enjoy your encouraging quotes.
Thank you. I enjoy choosing the quotes to put in the videos.
Jules, this was a great add-on to my workout today. Again thank you for taking time out of your busy life to make these workouts to keep us going each and everyday....hope all is well with you...take care and God Bless....Anne
Thanks for your lovely comment, Anne. Life is busy here but all is well:)
Every workout you design puts positive energy into my day; thank you.
Thanks so much for your very meaningful comment.
Wow! Your views are going up! Congratulations 🎉🎉 Thank you for putting our videos that keep me moving.
Yes, finally! It's been a lot of work over the past 3 years, but I'm so pleased that the videos are finally 'getting out there'. Thanks for taking the time to let me know that you noticed:)
Allo 🙃 so today il the day of 10 minutes 3 or 4 times start here this morning, I loved it. And next in few houres. Have a good day 🏃♀️ thank you for all the possibilités Jules 🌞
I really enjoyed this quick cardio boost. With the moves changing every 15 seconds the time really flew by. Thank you!
I hear that a lot...the 15 sec changes are popular:)
I love the music you choose, makes such a difference! Thanks 🩵💜🩷
Thanks so much for your feedback.💖
What great and fast workout. Thanks a lot!
Your workouts are my favorite. Today all my joints and muscles were stiff. I could trust if I follow you, I'll feel better. Thank you.
Aw, thank you!!!
28, 11 2023 I am here again, Jules. Thank you! I got very tired today with it, twice I let down my arms for a bit, but I did it and added some circles with my torso, no idea, how they say it, because I have learnt that it helps with the female insufficientia perinaealis. I wish you a lovely day too. Indeed, we can be grateful that we can exercise, because many people cannot. Even if it is just this light and easy set of exercises. I cannot do more, but I love these. Thank you.
I'm so glad to see your name pop up and to know you made it back to exercise for another day again. Congrats for making exercise a habit!
Love your outfit! Beautiful colors. This workout was just right today. Thank you❤
Thanks for your nice compliment, Donna.💗
Thanks so much Jules this was the perfect way to start a productive exercise week.
Thanks Venessia.💖
Thanks Jules. It was a nice start to the day for me with this short workout. I feel good and am glad I did it. Best regards from Germany / Thuringia.❤
Thank you for taking the time to comment.❤️
Hi Jules: thanks for another amazing workout. You make the best workout videos ever. 😅😅😅
Thank you, George.😊
Quick workout does the trick. I added 2lb weights for the whole video. Your outfit is cute, love it. I am finally used to the "Up next" picture in picture. Thanks.
Adding the dumbbells is a great idea:) Thanks for the compliment on the outfit.❤️
Thanks for your workouts! I always enjoy them! Your exercises are doable for this 60 year old whose bones now protest! 😂
Thanks so much for taking the time to comment. I'm so glad you're enjoying the various workouts.
🎈It's been a busy weekend clearing up after storm Babet!
And I did this workout after planting lots of hyacinths in the front garden while the soil was soft from all that rain!
I had a little dance while cooking this evening and then a bit of a disco session afterwards!
All good energetic healthy fun!
😁
Thanks Jules.
A x 🎈
Sounds like a super productive weekend. I hope you enjoy the new upload tomorrow. Thought of you when I was creating it:)
@@ImprovedHealth Yay! Sounds great! Looking forward to it 😀
Hi Jules,
I picked this one today . I need some energy because I wanted to take a nap. Thanks again ❤ I love working out with you. ❤
Kudos to you for choosing to exercise instead of napping!
Thank you very much Jules. I love and appreciate your effort in making new material. You think in everything to it encouraging and useful. After this I continued with the strength ones.
Thanks so much for your very meaningful comment, Claudia. It's definitely appreciated.
Thanks so much for your lessons
This was a much needed mood booster. Thank you !
Thanks for letting me know that it helped.
Thanks for the good little blood pumper! It was great to get me going this morning!
I'm glad you enjoyed it. Thanks for taking the time to provide feedback:)
That was awesome. I can't believe you've got me to this point Jules. I'm no longer avoiding the ones that mention cardio. Yay!
Woohoo! I love reading your comment, Val! So glad that you're enjoying exercise:)
Short and intensiv. Thats what i need today 🥰.
I'm glad this helped:)
I love your workouts!! Could you please do more 30 min intermediate classes with music from 60's, 70's, 80's and 90'S? That would be soooo good ❤
Hi! Creating the copyrighted workouts is definitely a challenge so I usually stick with 10-20 minute workouts. Sometimes I create them and then a song gets blocked which in turn blocks the whole video from being seen. It's always the risk I take when I create the copyrighted videos. I wish it was a simpler process. I do have a new one coming out on Monday that I hope you'll enjoy.
@@ImprovedHealth thank you for taking the time to explain the ins and outs. I look forward to the new one coming soon x
Great quick workout before work! Love theses short videos if I need more I just stack them. ❤🙏
I'm glad you stack them as needed:)
Thank you so much for making these videos. ❤
Thanks for your comment:)
A new favorite for me, Jules, and thank you! Your workouts are uniformly easy to follow, nicely cued, and effective. And...the music is well-chosen and not intrusive. In a week or so, I’ll try this workout using 1-pound weighted gloves. The fitness industry could learn many lessons from you.
Thanks so much for your super meaningful comment, Susan. It is absolutely appreciated.💖
Thank you for this exercise! it gets me motivated in the mornings!
Thanks for letting me know that:)
Thank you so much Jules ❤❤❤
My day got completely by me...and suddently, I realized that I didn't have my customary 25-30 minutes for a workout. But, never fear! I knew that you had several shorter workouts! This one was perfect! Thanks for offering so many workout options...makes it easy to be able to put a check mark in the "Daily Workout" box, every day!
Congrats Jan for making time to fit in a workout today!
what a fabulous wee workout ! Just what I needed. Been in the kitchen making the last of this years Christmas puddings. Ive made 112 small ones and 4 large! Not all for me I should say. Now off to do some weights. Still going with my weight loss. 14lbs down now and 14 more to get to my target weigh. Feel so much better for it. Next week will be a challenge as we are off to France on the 28th for a week. Dumbells are coming with me. Thanks Jules.
Wow, I’m totally impressed that the weights are going with you on a holiday. And, 14 lbs weight loss already! You’ve been working hard with exercise and watching your calorie intake. Impressive, Marie-Therese (especially while all that cooking and baking is going on)! I sure wish I could try all the amazing food you make.
Nice workout for when you don't have a lot of time... or you are in a kind of "lazy day". Thanks!
Absolutely...we can all fit a 12 minute workout into any busy day.
Good morning Jules 🌄☕🌄 What an awesome 12 minutes to starts to the day with a bounce in my step. I love your playlist 🎵🎶🎵 It's a 12 minute egg timer workout 🥚⏳🥚and who doesn't have time for eggs? I hope you have a fantastic start to your day and week ahead 🌈🍁🌰🌈🍁🌰🌈 and thank you for a very nice jump start to mine 🤗❤️🤗
Thanks so much, Mala.🥰
@@ImprovedHealth 🌈🍁🤗❤️🤗🌈🍁🌈
🎈Thursdays 2 of 2 short 15 second workouts.
Perfect for me.
Love them!
Thank you.
Ax🎈
Great combo with the two workouts:)
You are SO right! Just being grateful to be able to do these movements! Thank you! 😊❤
Thanks Sharon. I often think of how grateful I am that my legs keep moving me along.
LOVE this workout!! Great beat for the movements! Thanks for again making such a unique and fun workout. that is LOW impact
Thanks so much for your great comment.
Great!! And perfect prelude to strength training! Just what I needed on this gloomy Monday morning. I find myself looking forward to a new tape each Monday! Thanks, Jules!
It's wet and gloomy here too, Alice.
I'm so glad you look forward to the new workouts. Thanks for sharing that with me. I hope the sun comes out for you tomorrow!
Great workout. Thank you again.
Good Wednesday morning 🌄,
I have been exercising every morning with you . I found another workout I like 👍. ❤😊
I now make time to exercise ❤
I am SO glad to read that you now make time for exercise!
Thank you Jules for this low impact. I love your channel . Thank you so much 🙏 isabella
Thanks for your lovely comment, Isabella.
Thank you ❤
Just needed a short one to bring the 20 min one up to 30 min. Perfect, thank you 🙏
I seem to have a coordination problem where I can’t do knees up and hands/arms raised high and coming down. So I just do the best I can without stopping because my brain is confused 🫤
Can definitely feel your workouts 😂
That can be a tough move so I don't add it in very often (you're not alone with having a tough time with it).
Love all your workouts ❤xxx
Thank you!!!
Just what I needed to get me going this morning!
Thanks for taking the time to comment.
@@ImprovedHealth 😁
Thank you❤🇲🇾👍
Love it! You've helped keep me moving for the past couple of months, and for that I think you.
Thanks so much for letting me know that, Pamela.
Afternoon Jules just done this amazing work out really enjoyed it i doubled up on it to make it a bit longer for me thank you 💞 xx
Thanks Jean. Kudos to you for doing it twice.
Thank you for another amazing workout! I did this one as a warm up before an IH strength training video. Thank you so much for all you have taught me and encouraged me!
I love how you used it as a warm-up for a strength workout. A great use for it!
I combined this one with the new 10-minute strength-building routine. Made for a complete workout today!
Ah, perfect. Thanks for sharing that with me, Jan.
Thank you. Really enjoyed this 👏👏👏👏👏
Thank you!
Hi Jules! I started to do his. workout yesterday but had plummers coming and going in my apartment. So I did it today instead followed b y a lower body strength workout and it gave me a great warm up! So thank you!
SO glad that you're doing the strength workouts regularly. This was a good choice for a warm-up:)
21, 11 2023 2nd time (: I just love this! It willl be number 42 in my list of workouts.
Great to see you’re back:)
Excellent, thank you!
Thanks for this short one - I needed only 10 minutes today to reach my weekly number of cardio minutes, and this did the trick. I really like the 15-second rounds. Your outfit's colors really made it feel like spring or summer on this January day, which helped with having to live in my very cold climate (Minnesota - probably about the same as Canada). :)
Yes, definitely cold here, too and very similar to the northern US for weather.
Stacked this onto a 15 walk workout; nice combination. I like your thought that exercise is a blessing. How true, and I am grateful I can do what I can. Grateful also today that I can do more of the right arm raises, pull-backs, etc. that I could not do before without pain. I think the key is gradual stretching and being gentle instead of vigorous. So grateful for your range of choices. Thanks, Jules.
I totally agree with your comment about being gentle instead of vigorous. When we have injuries, it's definitely important to take more care when we're exercising.
Fast or not I love your workout!!!!❤
Thank you!!!🥰
Loved it!
Súper! Thanks!👌👏🕊
Terrific work out! Thank you.
Thank you!
21, 11 2023 Hi Jules, I loved this short workout, I could do most, in 3 exercises I let my arms down but other than that I did it. I do my best to live a healthy life style but now I am taking a holiday of the healthy eating here at home, most things I love are just not healthy. But when I go back I will revert into eating well. The exercise I incorporate again, although I skipped yesterday. But I am not afraid anymore to lose the routine even if I had a day without exercise. I know I am going to continue. I enjoy it. And I want it. Thank you
I LOVE the positivity, Klari! You're definitely on the right track:)
@@ImprovedHealth And I love your positivity, too!
Love you for this work out and the fab music ❤❤
Thanks for your thoughtful comment:)
Thanks for the short workout! I was running a bit late and this filled the short time slot easily. I'm back on track! As always, thank you so much for posting! I appreciate this very much!
Kudos to you for making the time to fit in a workout on a busy day.
🎈I managed to squeeze this quickie in very late last night and it sent me to bed feeling happy!🎈
Oh yay, I'm so glad to hear that, Annette.
@@ImprovedHealth Time to turn off the light. (1.07am!) 😴
Thank you
I just recently found your channel and I want you to say thank you for videos like these. I have been doing another UA-camrs videos which I enjoy but I have health issues that sometimes doing her workouts even the thought of it is unbearable because I’m just not feeling well but still want to do something I don’t want to fall off my routine and these videos are perfect for those days like today so thank you so very much!
Thanks so much for taking the time to let me know that you’re enjoying these workouts. I definitely appreciate it.
@@ImprovedHealth you are very welcome!
Great job on keeping us seniors flex able. great choice on the music. much better than b4. where do you get your back drops. they are beautiful!
Thanks Charlie. I browse through the tapestries on Amazon. I have a few of the links up on my website if you're interested. I'll add the link for you: www.improvedhealthforseniors.com/about-1
Thank you Jules. I've got sciatica at the moment so I'm trying to keep moving. I had to modify some of this, I can't tell you how much I am missing squats and lifting heavier weights. I'm trying a few short bursts of gentle exercise throughout the day. Thankfully you have a few more gentle videos so I am still getting some variety.
It's definitely tough slowing down on exercise due to an injury when we so badly want to do more. I hope the sciatica improves soon so you can get back to what you enjoy. In the meantime, I'm glad you're still able to enjoy as much movement as you can manage.🫂
@@ImprovedHealthThank you Jules
Plz make more 30 minutes video❤
Hello jules that was a great workout luv lorraine❤❤❤❤❤
Thanks Lorraine:)
Love this workout. Thank you for all the variety you give us. I do have a question - where did you get the picture that is behind you?
Thanks for your comment, Monica. I purchase most of them from Amazon under 'tapestries'. I'll add the link for you here: amzn.to/49T9XHx
Good job
Thank you!
Gracias Jules ❤Fue una rutina cortita pero linda ....muy buena la música que elegiste...👋👋👋👋🇦🇷🇦🇷🦋
Loved this … it’s great to have short intervals as an option for a quick cardio burst with strength and toning built in. I’ve been trying to find the brand of t shirt you often wear in this one as well by the insignia but I can’t. I’m an Australian. Can you tell me the brand name please Jules?
Thanks Robyn. I buy a lot of my t-shirts for the workouts from Under Armour. They have a good variety and they change them up in the stores often.
@@ImprovedHealth Great thanks x
❤❤❤❤❤❤🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
Once again I am adding this to a lower body strength workout , to add a liitle cardio and to warm my body up. Thanks Jules!
It's a great length for a warm-up before a lower body strength workout.
