I want to thank you. I have been doing your workouts for about 2 months now. I started with the beginner fun music videos and have worked myself up to 15 sec intervals and now 30 second intervals. I went for a 45 min walk today with a friend and she was completely out of breath and having difficulty talking and walking at the same time and I realized I used to be like that. But today I wasn't short of breath at all. I was so amazed and proud of myself. I have thanks to your help added to the weight loss I started about four months ago and feel energetic and so much healthier. I never miss a day because it makes me feel so good. Who thought this was possible at 63. Thanks again.
I am sitting here with a very happy smile on my face, Debbie! I love that you are seeing the changes in your health and fitness. It's amazing how quickly the changes happen, especially when someone commits to being physically active daily like you're doing. Congratulations for staying consistent and for increasing your workouts. I'm absolutely thrilled for you!
Did you tell your friend about the work out videos?
79 years old and looking for just the right workouts. These with no voice over are such a good fit. Thanks so much.
Thanks and welcome to my channel! Just so you know, I create gentle, beginner and intermediate level workouts (both seated and standing). I categorize them all in the playlists and also on my website (www.improvedhealthforseniors.com). If you enjoyed the level of this one, the gentle or beginner playlists should work well. I hope you enjoy more as you try them.
I really didn’t feel like working out today but this was just perfect. Thank you!
Kudos to you for choosing to workout!
It has been a pleasure. No voice frees my mind.
❤️
Just came across this video! LOVED IT! Perfect for all fitness and energy levels, any time of the day, no voice over, perfect music, all body workout. Thank you!
Hi! Thank you for your comment & feedback, Eugenia! I believe you are new to my channel so just so you know, I create gentle, beginner and intermediate level workouts (both seated and standing). You can find all of my workouts categorized in the playlists and also on my website (www.improvedhealthforseniors.com). I hope you enjoy more of the workouts as you try them out.

@@ImprovedHealth Hello. Thank you for your message. I truly and greatly appreciate it! Yes, I am new to your channel. I subscribed right after the video was over. I will definitely check your website as well. Thank you for all you do. Wishing you the very best. Cheers!
I've heard it's good for blood sugar to walk after your meals, so I've been trying to do that. Since I'm visually impaired and we live on a country road with no shoulders, I don't feel safe walking outside. Videos like this are a perfect solution for me. Again, thank you for doing these fun videos for us❤❤❤
I'm so glad you enjoyed this one and will find it useful:)
Great to wake up to this morning-you make walking fun! And love the motivating messages at the end
Thanks so much, Liz. Such a lovely comment.❤️
I've been sick for a couple of weeks and wanted to get back in the exercise saddle and this was perfect to get me going again. I am not diabetic, but this workout would benefit anyone. I liked the music in this one as well. Thanks so much!
Sorry to hear you've been unwell:( But, glad you're feeling better now and able to exercise again. You're right, this one works for anyone who wants a gentle walk.
Love the fact that there's no talking. Cannot, just cannot laugh at the same joke every time
Thank you:) If you go to my playlists, you'll find all of the no-talking videos together.
Found your channel last week. Helping my mom with your chair exercises and found this video for me. Me and mom both enjoying your videos. Love that you have something for everyone!
Welcome to my channel! I am so glad to read that you are both able to use the variety of workouts. You can find all of the workouts categorized in the playlists. Thanks so much for introducing your mom to the workouts!
Energizing, upbeat, and much appreciated.
Another gift from you Jules. A million thank yous for creating not only this workout, but adding the reminders about the positive life changing effects of exercise -- even moderate. Loved the creative new moves, too!
Thanks so much, Chris!
Thank u so much Jules enjoyed your workout.❤
This video is so great for a day like today when I started a new job (at age 65), and am feeling overloaded with the onboarding process. I don't have to choose to do a longer workout, but can add what I learned from the Tabata workout and do 20-second spurts in this video. So good for clearing the head. Thank you, Jules. You are so greatly improving my health.
Wishing you all the best at your new job, Dianne! The first few weeks is always tough with learning so many new things. I hope it goes well and I hope you enjoy it. Kudos to you for taking the time to exercise to de-stress:)
Hurray, 99k and counting, Jules...soooon...🎉😊❤
Loved the exercise, esp with the title!
Yes i remember when it was around 55k ..the channel is growing 👏🏽
Getting close!
@@ImprovedHealth
Maybe a video with gentle exercises to lower BP, with your fabulous instructions, will hit the ball out of the park?
Just thinking aloud...😊
@@anuradhab4481 Thank you for the idea:)
This was good for my blood sugar and everything else. Thanks!
Me encanta esta dama, no se mucho inglés, pero desde que me apareció en mi pantalla , hago los ejercicios y lo 10 mil pasos y las caminatas con baile y me encanta, estoy obsesionada con sus ejercicios no le la puedo, es genial, la recomiendo mucho por que para personas adultas es la mejor felicidades.
What an absolutely wonderful comment to read, Nora. Thank you so much for letting me know that you're enjoying my workouts. I definitely appreciate your comment. Muchas gracias!!!🥰
Good morning Jules 🌄☕🌄 Just peaking at the numbers over here. I am hoping that you will get your 100 k this weekend because the suspense is killing me 😂
We did it! 100,000!!!
@@ImprovedHealth 🤗🎉🤗🎉🤗🎉🤗
Great 15 min workouts by you. I do these after meal to help with gestation diabetes and every single time it’s helped bring down numbers , of course I’m on low carb and portion controlled diet.
Thank you again Jules, another good one. I appreciate the variety of videos you offer, thanks.
Thanks Jeanine.❤️
Brilliant information given here Jules. 👍🏻
My younger sister is diabetic but to look at her nobody would know as she's always been fit and slender.
I've been tested over the years as it runs in the women of my family and thankfully I'm not diabetic and intend keeping it that way by following your advice and life changing workouts. 💕💕💕
I'm sure with the exercising you do now, you likely won't ever be diabetic (unless of course you enjoy lots of sweets!). I'm so impressed with the change in your fitness over the past months. I'm sure you must notice a big change by now in your energy levels.
IMO, your channel is the best. It's all about health and longevity 🎉. Thank you so much! 💓 😊
You planted another smile on my face. Thank you!
Loved this easy going workout for today. I have you to thank for helping me to get off my diabetic medication. Your variety of programs help me with strength, flexibility, cardio, stretching, etc. I love your short videos because I am able to do a variety in one day. I have to do 2 workouts for my sciatica and degenerative arthritis on my back every morning to not feel like the Tin Man in The Wizard of Oz, but after that I'm all set for my 5 minute warm up, strength, core, and cardio workouts with you. Thank you for all the choices you give us! 🥰
Congratulations for being able to stop your diabetic medication! It's amazing what exercise can do! Kudos to YOU for all your hard work and for committing to exercising every day in order to be able to see such amazing changes. I'm absolutely thrilled for you!
@Dona Sawtelle Amazing!!! I'm absolutely thrilled to read that, Dona!
Thank you Jules! Had to modify a little due to my neuropathy (I'm guessing rom my chemo drugs), but you make all your videos so fun!
I'm glad you were able to modify the moves to work for you, Pam.
Hello Jules:
You are close to the 100.000. Have the champagne ready. We all will celebrate with you.
I will get my cooking spoons out for a special drum roll.😊😊😊
Thank you so much for your support, Annemarie!❤️❤️❤️
I have been tuning in to your channel for a couple weeks now and doing some of the workouts. I love the 60s and 70s music. Today is the first day I was able to complete the full workout! I'm 73 and coming back into health after a medical issue. Your workouts and music are assisting me to reach my goals! Thank you so much! 3 Years ago, I could have easily done this, so I know with persistence and patience I'll succeed! Thank you so much!
I love your positive attitude. You're so right...with time and consistency, you'll definitely see a lot of improvements. Just in case you haven't realized it, I create 3 levels of workouts (gentle, beginner and intermediate) and categorize them all into the playlists. Thanks for letting me know that you're enjoying the workouts. I am excited for you to see progress as you continue.
Love your videos, my friend and I have just started 😊
I'm so glad you're enjoying the videos so far, Robyn!
Can we have more work out like this one to my blood sugar? I followed this exercise for many times now. It was really good.
Thank you,
Jade.
Sorry, I made a mistake. I meant to lower my blood sugar, Jade.
Hi Jade, thanks so much for subscribing recently. I labelled this one as lowering blood sugars but ALL cardio workouts will help to lower your blood sugar. You can pick and choose any cardio workout and it'll help. If you liked this level, you can go under my playlists, and look for the 'gentle level walking workouts' or the 'beginner level walking workouts'. Once you find the ones you like, you can pick and choose any. If those are too easy, you can head to the 'intermediate level' workouts.
Third day April 23, thank you very much, praying to improved my health and get stronger and feels younger.
Thank you. Just what i needed to recover from a low I over corrected. Type 1 diabetic 47 years. Love allyour videos.❤❤❤
Thanks for letting me know that you enjoyed this one, Jennifer.
I enjoyed this workout! The arm press and raise exercise you did in minute 7 is a combo I'd never seed before.
I'm glad that you enjoyed it:)
Yes as an insulin dependent diabetic I test as have tested after these workouts and the sugar indeed drop!,
I'm so glad this workout helped! You can find lots more categorized in my playlists & website (www.improvedhealthforseniors.com). Just look for the fitness level that suits you best (gentle, beginner or intermediate). I hope that helps!
thank goodness I was able to do this wonderful workout without adverts , still the longer ones do have them interrupt , but love this so much , thank you as always x
Hi! I never have ads in my workouts unless they are ones using copyrighted music (the popular music). When copyrighted music is used, the music companies earn the income from the videos and they choose to put ads in those ones.
Thank you kindly for this...being prediabetic means being proactive in my books. Appreciate all you do Jules....time for a cuppa ☕
I'm glad you enjoyed this one.
HelLo jules great workout amazing luv lorraine❤😂🎉
Uwielbiam ćwiczyć przy tej konkretnej muzyce🥰 Dziękuję 💐😊
I'm glad to read that you enjoyed the music.
Thank you Jules Every day i do exercice with you and ofen because that Make me feel better and better I like the motivation message at the end God bless you From Québec ❤️👏🙏
Thanks so much for taking the time to comment each time, Lise.
15, 01 2024 HI Jules, I hope you have completely recovered and your energy is back. After two days in the blues l am happy again. l did this one, l missed the leg exercises, there were very few. l like when it changes quickly 20 seconds is usually enough for me. Anyway, I guess, I will remain a beginner forever. See you, my trainer and friend.
Glad to see you here again, Klari! Yes, I am recovered thankfully:)
Jules, thank you so much for this, and for all that you do.
I live on a hot, tropical island, and sometimes it's hard to go out and walk after a meal. This is perfect. I'm working my way through a few other after-dinner walks that you've so generously provided,
I love your channel!
Thanks so much for your very kind comment. Right about now I'd love to be living on a hot tropical island!
Thank you for a very good short exercise that can be done in 15 mins after supper 🤩
I'm so glad it's coming in useful! Thank you for sharing!
Thank you for this wonderful exercise video🙏
I am 70 years old with a part time job as a floral assistant. I was having pain in my upper back due to that job, so I started doing your chair stretchs for seniors about 2 months ago. It has helped so much. I also do your gentle exercise of waking and different moves. I was wondering if you have exercises to improve my balance? Thanks for help. Mary
Hi Mary! Thanks so much for letting me know that the workouts are making a difference. I'm so glad to read your message! I'll attach a playlist for you with different balance workouts. Just to let you know, all of the all-in-one workouts include balance exercises on top of cardio, strength and stretching. There is a playlist in all 3 levels with all-in-ones, too. Here's the balance playlist: ua-cam.com/play/PLsPoR5SimhuX3i7PQvtPmdkB9BS_iHrix.html
Good workout with great BGM. Really love these short burst of walk to pair with the regular cardio/core strength workouts. Thank you, Jules.
Thanks Annie.❤️
Great exercise! Thank you for this video!
Thank you so much for this perfect workout ! Its saved on my everyday routine now !!!❤ love it !
So glad that you're enjoying this one!
Since is this is a low impact workout, I was able to do it in my pool. No moves overhead; I would have had a wet head. You could use webbed gloves, buoys, and wear pool shoes in the pool to protect your feet. Also a pool noodles might work for some of moves. I was in chest height water.
I'm glad this one worked. I think since you'll have the resistance in the pool, the gentle or beginner workouts will definitely work much better than the intermediate level.
Thank you! I will definitely try this after a meal to lower my sugar!
Excellent!
🎈Great to do this again straight after your latest Rock video!
Thanks for keeping me on track.
A x🎈
I'm happy to do so:)
First time watching great video love the music although didn't know what the song saying but I enjoyed every bit of it I am diabetic so my doctor told me to exercise and I really do enjoy this workout I will make it a point to of my duties to do it keep up the good work.
Welcome to my channel! If you want more like this one, you can find plenty more in the gentle or beginner level walking playlists. All of the cardio workouts will help to lower your blood sugars so feel free to try out the different workouts to keep things interesting. I hope you enjoy more of them when you try them out. Welcome to my channel and congrats for working to lower your blood sugars!
Hi Jules: I love this workout. I love walking. I go on my treadmill for about 45 minutes each day. I appreciate all the videos you make. Have a great day. 😅😅😅
Wow, between the treadmill and these workouts, you're doing great with staying active!
@@ImprovedHealth I’m 66 years old and I want to take care of myself.
Thank you so much, Jules, for every workout that u create to help us seniors invest in our future health as well as to feel better n more energised! ❤ Julia
Thanks for your thoughtful comment, Julia.🥰
The music is cheerful! I find that the music is very important to me. Quite enjoyed this walk and will add it to my favorites.
I’m so glad it made it to your favourites:)
Hi Jules, it looks like you been doing these workouts for a while 😊. I am so glad that I found you.
I been working out a lot with you.
I've been creating videos for 4 years now:)
You are the absolute best Jules ❤️🌈❤️ Thank you so much for creating 🤗🤗🤗

I just had to do this workout again tonight as I loved it yesterday. ❤
Oh yay! So glad you enjoyed it. I have to say, I love the new music I found for this video. Dreamy, easy-going music.
I really liked this! Thank you!😊
Thanks for letting me know...I appreciate it!
I truly enjoy all your videos. It makes me want to move even more and that is so helpful for me! Thank you!!
Oh yay! Thanks so much for your awesome feedback.
🎉 hope you have a great weekend!! Also hope you had a nice visit with your family!!
Thanks Laura.❤️
Love the workout itself but the music is incredibly annoying so watch without sound.
It's always a challenge finding music.
I really enjoyed this short exercise video. I did it as a warm up before strength training. Thanks again Jules. I look forward to every new video you release.
It's a perfect workout to use as a warm-up before strength training. Thanks for letting me know that you look forward to the new uploads. I appreciate that.❤️
Nice one Jules I gave up for awhile but im giving it another go. Its so frustrating trying to get back in shape at my age
I'm so glad you're back, Susie. Just go at the pace that works for you (if you're tired, just focus on the lower body and add in your arms when you can). You'll continue to get stronger! Main thing is to keep coming back and keep trying.
My favorite arm up before strength
I loveeee it. I was searching for this type of workout for so long. Thank u so much.
Thanks so much for letting me know that you enjoyed this one. Welcome to my channel!
I do your workouts daily. I will do this one daily as an add on or twice daily. These workouts are helping my health along with moderate eating. Thank you.
I'm so glad you're enjoying the workouts. Kudos to you for working out daily!
💞 all ur videos keep them coming just got done doing the 10,000 step one
Thanks so much for your comment.❤️
Feel so good after do this exercises. thank you so much for sharing😊
Thanks for your feedback, Carmen.❤️
Hi Jules. I'm 51 years old and i found your channel about 2 weeks ago. Started this cardio workout this morning. I'm so happy i found you, as i am battling both Ankylosing Spondylitis and Sciatica, for 9 years. I'm in intense pain. My Physio Therapist told me to include alot of light cardio to my daily exercises. Thanking you so much for your workuts. God bless you always ❤🙏🏻
Hi Nicole, thanks for letting me know that you're new here. I'm so glad that my workouts are working well for you. I'm guessing you already noticed, but all of the workouts are categorized into 3 levels in the playlists. I hope you enjoy more of the workouts when you try them out.
@@ImprovedHealth Thank you so much. I'll continue to do them 🙏🏻
I have the same medical conditions as you, plus I have scoliosis. I do these workouts twice a day, plus tai chi and pilates, and they all help me manage the pain. 💪🏽
@@wd1456 Thank you so much for your kind inspiration. I'll continue to work on it. God bless 🙏🏻
Hi Jules, the video to lower blood suger. I just did it but I drink sleepy time tea and did after the workout. ls this supposd to be done once you are done eating and ready to go to bed? I'm sorry this sound silly. Wow I did a cardio and wieght exercise today and was soooo out of breath but it was great. thanks!!!! Celine
Hi Celine! Honestly, you can do this workout at any time of the day, but if you have diabetes, it's great to get in exercise 30-90 min after eating. All of my 10-15 min workouts can be done anytime and will still be beneficial. Congrats for working out earlier in the day as well!
thanks JUles. I don't have diabetes but I want to do whatever I can to help with blood work. I actually am noticing a change in my triceps they are staring to tone up. Love your videos. thanks again@@ImprovedHealth
This is my afternoon workout and tonight I will be doing the evening workout it will be my third time do it. Thanks again, Jules ❤😊
Thank you so much Jules for the cool dance workout.💛
This one for this evening g!!
We decided on this one for tonight. I’m gonna try to do a strength workout tomorrow.
I love that you are planning your workout for tomorrow.

Great workout on a very hot day!!! Thanks so much 💓🙏🏻🌈
I learned of your channel last night. Today, I did 5 walks throughout the day for a total of 70 minutes. I really like the music and BPM (120/125). I'll def walk with you often. Thank you!
Oh wow! A massive congrats for doing FIVE of the workouts! 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. Welcome to my channel and a massive thank you for subscribing.💖
Day 97! ✅️😊 1:2
Who could guess that this simple but very enjoyable 15 minute walk would lower blood sugars
I wish they'd advertise this on TV!
Thanks Jules for enlightening many of us followers.
💕
I wish they'd put this on TV, too!😉
I'm back from a 10-day vacation. I enjoyed a good walkabout almost every day, but it's not "exercising"...so I'm easing back into it. Thanks for having the "just right" workout for my return!
I hope you had a great time away! Welcome back home, Jan.
Could you please post a cool down video separately or add them into your future walks? Or maybe you could tell me which videos have a cool down which is a bit longer? Thanks in advance.
Hi! I do have a few 5 minute warm-up/cool-down videos which I believe are under the beginner workouts. You could use those, or if you feel you still want more than what I offer, another suggestion would be to walk in place until your heart rate comes down more. Lastly, you could also use any of the 'gentle level' workouts as a cool-down (I have quite a few 10 minute walks which would work well). They would be categorized under the gentle level workouts in the playlists. Here's one of the 5 minute warm-up/cool-down videos: ua-cam.com/video/BXTDoE07isk/v-deo.html
Thank you. I definitely needed something more to bring my heart rate down.
@@squaredancemama Thanks for your helpful feedback:)
11, 02 2024 Hi Jules, I want to share with you my joys today. I woke up rigid and in pain with sciatica. I did a 15 minutes standing abs with Andrea a Rumanian UA-cam trainer. Her easiest exercises are usually too tough for me, she moves fast, always, and some moves are not easy although most are, but she does 40 seconds for each and that is too much for me. But today, I could do it mostly, occasionally I stopped or walked instead or let my arms down or alternated, because she does one side 40 sec and then the other 40 sec and that's tough. But it went quite well. I had made a nice pasta with prawn, sweet corn and tartar sauce and it was yummy. I went for a walk beforehand for about 40 minutes and afterwards I saw this one with you and got back to it, after dinner and I have just finished. So, I feel accomplished today as for exercises. And I warmed my back with the electric blanket so my sciatica is gone for now. But can I ask you something? What do you mean checking our blood sugar levels before an after eating? You mean we should prick ourselves 6 times a day like poor diabetics?Have a nice evening!
It's only if you have diabetes that you need to check your blood sugar levels.
Love this! Just combined it with one of the 10 min after dinner walks to get in some gentle exercise before bed and to push myself over 12000 steps for the day. These are such friendly, non-intimidating workouts. Thank you, Jules. I feel the love! Happy 2024 to everyone! Let’s get fit and strong together! ❤❤❤❤❤❤💪💪💪💪💪💪
Aw, thank you, Janet! I truly appreciate your comment. Congrats on the 12,000 steps!
Another great workout! Thanks so much😊
Thank you!
Gracias Jules por la rutina !! Saludos desde Argentina 😊
Than you Jules for that short workout, I'm not a diabetic but, exercise is good for us all!! Surprisingly, I got a little sweaty. Again, thanks for all you do !!!!!
This one is a nice short walk for anyone. No need to be a diabetic to gain the benefits:)
I did this one after dinner and it was wonderful! Thanks, Jules, I appreciate you making these available. P.S. Love the music!
I'm glad you found this one helpful for after meals and that you enjoyed the music (some of these tracks are some of my favourites I've found so far).
Love loved this one! Thanks Jules! 🎉
Thanks Bethany!
Rainy day in my neck of the woods. My post lunch blood sugar was 137. I did this routine, and then immediately rechecked my blood sugar. The reading was 89! I am very pleased with that result. I got this! Thank you!!!!!!!
AMAZING! Thank you so much for sharing that!
I felt that I needed to take it a little slower today and this was just right. Now I've put a checkmark in the "Exercise Today" box, without overdoing. Thanks for providing such flexibility in terms of levels of difficulty and time duration!
I'm so glad you listened to your body and gave yourself permission to slow down a bit today. There are days when we definitely need to do that.
Hi Jules,
I did this most of the workout at work today and finished it at 🏡 home. Thanks again ❤❤❤
Thank you.. just got back from my daughter's wedding long weekend. Missed working out. Started back up today with the new calendar. It felt sooo good!!
Oh wow, an exciting past weekend! I hope it was a wonderful weekend. Congrats on getting back on track with exercise now. It definitely always feels good to get back to working out:)
