Jules first I did the DISCO 23 mins and then this 10 min walking with weights. I'd say I had a pretty good workout.3lbs and still some parts were harder than the others. You always make it look so easy. Thank you for the entertainment and exercise instructor. Always a blast working out with you.
I have to express my deep appreciation for the beautiful backgrounds you pin up for the workouts. I love trees, flowers, birds, water---I seriously miss "my" beloved Lake Michigan!---but I'm extremely sun sensitive, and have been told by my PCP, and my dermatologist (she's treating me for skin cancer), my optometrist, and even my dentist, that I MUST stay out of the sun as much as possible. I can no longer go for walks on sunny days--I'm also severely allergic to sunscreens--and my views of nature are very limited now. Thankfully, my tiny apartment complex is set in a grove of beautiful, mature oaks and maples, with plenty of grass all around. I do get to hear the elusive birds (heard, but rarely seen), and the many silly squirrels, and I'm grateful for that. Getting to see the various gorgeous settings you pin up really makes working out a pleasure, and helps keep me motivated to see each day's posted picture (I change up my workouts daily). Thank you for your thoughtfulness in choosing such exquisite backgrounds.
You have just reminded me that I need to do some research and find some new backgrounds:) I haven't changed the one I have up in a while now! Thank you so much for letting me know how much the various scenes mean to you, and how you look forward to the various scenes. I don't get a lot of feedback on them so receiving your feedback is very helpful. Thank you! Since I work as a Recreation Therapist, one of the things I do in my job is to try to find ways to help people find solutions to enjoy recreation & leisure as much as possible. Knowing how much you love the outdoors, might it be possible to purchase a wide brimmed hat, wear thin long sleeves shirts and purchase very dark sunglasses that are safe for your eyes? I'm sure you've thought of all of these things but like you, I LOVE the outdoors. I just wonder if the right clothing and glasses might allow you to still enjoy getting outside in nature.
Hi Jules, I have been dancing to your Bee Gees 10 minutes step and this video (love the music) for over a year now, and never get bored with them! I have fibromyalgia and this is the perfect pace for me. Just started dancing and lifting water filled jam jars in time with you. Thanks very much! Keep up the good work! Regards Caron from Hertfordshire, UK. 🤩🤩
Hi Caron, thank you for taking the time to let me know that you've been enjoying my workouts...and super happy to read that you don't get bored of them (listening to the Bee Gees definitely helps!).😉
This is a great strength builder. Now when I help out at the food pantry I can pull the boxes sideways down the belt using my arms and stomach muscles. Thanks so much for the creative workouts and inspiration Jules! 🙏
Wow! That’s a lot of workout in just 10 minutes! My arms have been weak for a few years. It was tough, but I (we) hung in there! Thanks for helping us be better, not just older.
We did this one for our nighttime workout. I’d say we did pretty good today. In between I organized my yarn stash (the equivalent of a total closet clean out and organizing.)
Oh wow! That’s more of a workout than it sounds like! We used 2 lb weights. The exercises where our hands went above our shoulders/head….oh boy, those really got us. We did not do it at full speed, but kept up as we could. One day, maybe we can keep up with you one for one. Thanks, Jules! You’re the best!
Oh boy was that fun!! This was my first step to beginner level after doing all of the gentle videos at least 2-3 times. And what better way to start than by BeeGees! Saturday Night Fever was the first album I ever bought for myself and I just about wore the grooves right through. And it was challenging, but so much fun with some old fave tunes, but I did it and the time went so fast! Thank you Jules for the great workouts! Cheers from Vancouver Island!
I LOVE that you went through all of the gentle ones first, built up your fitness and then moved to the beginner level. That is perfect! I'm excited for you to get through all of the beginner workouts and continue to see progress. This must be a beautiful time of the year on the island! It's been years since I've been but I loved it when I was there.
Massssssive gold star. That was great. I used 2lbs all through and as I did strength yesyerday it was hard at the end but omg loved it. This is going to be a go to. Really felt it. Is this still classed as doing strength training? Loved the back drop on this one. Can't believe its 3 years old ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
We did this one to end our day (and our week with you.) We’ll be making a little trip to south Alabama for (family friendly) Mardi Gras and sightseeing. We should be doing a lot of walking, so we’ll at least get I. A little exercise. Hopefully we’ll meet back up with you on Monday.
THANK YOU SO MUCH for catering to this age group. Health and Fitness is critical for everyone. Your exercises to the choice of music is fabulous. Everybody please like, subscribe and comment.
An unexpected surprise!! Thank you so much Jules, that is a great workout, thought it was going to be easy with 2 pound weights, you made it look so easy but I found it quite a challenge..WHEW Definitely one to do regularly. Have a great day🙂
I'm happy to hear you enjoyed it. I purposely made it only 10 minutes so it can be a workout that can be added before or after another workout to target the arms and shoulders more. Thanks for commenting!
We had to do our second workout a little earlier today to get it in. It’s all about doing what works. Yea us! Two days in a row! Maybe we’re back in the groove now.
We did this one again tonight (although I told Rex I thought I had already done enough today, with taking down my Christmas tree and decorations, which I had not even planned to do for a few more days) I was really tired by the time we did this, but I got through it. So, I think I did good today!!! I may be sore tomorrow!
Thank you and welcome to my channel! Just so you know, I create 3 levels of workouts (gentle, beginner and intermediate) and categorize all of the workouts in the playlists. I hope you enjoy more of the workouts when you try them out:)
I just started following your videos for seniors and happy with it. Was just wondering if you have these videos on a DVD or equivalent devices (USB stick) for purchase?
I have had people ask many times about DVD's...the issue I have is having a hard time knowing which videos to put onto the DVD's. Would you be interested in purchasing videos in order to download them instead? I can put them onto Patreon so you can purchase them there and download them. Let me know if that might work for you.
I always enjoy your workouts Jules… but this one was way too fast paced for me with my two pound weights… lol 😝 I still forged on, but at a slower pace.
Hi! Sometimes the music gets me carried away and I go a bit faster than I originally plan for. I'm happy to hear you modified the workout to work for you.
@@ImprovedHealth , slowly maybe I’m getting there. At least there aren’t many barriers to exercise with such a great variety of levels to choose from; and for that, my friend, we thank you! 🙂💕
Welcome! This is an older workout of mine and I hope you'll enjoy some of the newer ones. If you look at the playlists on my channel, you'll find all of the workouts categorized into 3 levels (gentle, beginner and intermediate). If you enjoyed this one, you'll find more like this one in the beginner level playlists. Welcome to my channel!
This is a super cool exercise. But I have one question. I have always been told to do arm exercises slowly, deliberately. Are these too fast to achieve results? Thanks for sharing this with us!!!!!!
With light weights it is fine to go at this speed. For strength with heavy weights, yes, definitely slowly and deliberately. If you see some of my strength routines you’ll see I have us go slowly. Great question! During this workout, if you feel it is too fast, you can also slow it down to the speed you feel is right for you.
Yes, 5 lbs would be tough for the shoulder moves! Love your enthusiasm! 1-3 lbs would be ideal since the moves are faster than a typical strength training workout.
I love the determination to keep getting stronger, Dawn! You can always do it without weights, and gradually increase with very light weights and so on.
We did this one tonight-oh, my arms!!! I did it seated, though. Chiropractor wants me to go in “second gear” for a couple of weeks, until my knee gets repaired better.
We chose this one for our evening workout, but we listened to our own music. Sorry. But, the upside is that we continued “dancing and moving” with our weights because George Benson was singing “On Broadway”, which I love, so we just couldn’t resist.
Hey, I am totally okay with viewers muting me and putting on their own music. Music is what often motivates us so crank your favourite tunes as much as you want to:)
Jules first I did the DISCO 23 mins and then this 10 min walking with weights. I'd say I had a pretty good workout.3lbs and still some parts were harder than the others. You always make it look so easy. Thank you for the entertainment and exercise instructor. Always a blast working out with you.

This one for our evening workout!!
We decided on this one for our evening workout!
This is one of the best arm/cardio workouts I’ve done .. please post more of these .. a great double duty workout perfectly paced and not boring!
Thank you so much, Robyn! I totally appreciate the comment!
We really got our arm workouts in today!!!!
I have to express my deep appreciation for the beautiful backgrounds you pin up for the workouts.

Woohoo! I love reading about the progress. Thanks for sharing!
We finished the day with a little strength workout! This is a good one that we like to do often!
We did this one tonight. Whew!! It’s a “goodie!”
Whew!! We did this one as our evening workout….I forgot that it was really quite a good challenge. Thanks, Jules!!
Perfect! I just finished therapy for a broken wrist. Able to do almost all the moves.
Excellent! Glad to read that your wrist is strong again.
been taking it easy during the summer heat. 1/2 speed right now, looking forward to more of this as we head into fall and winter. My arms thank you.
It is definitely challenging exercising when it's too hot. I'm glad to read that you have a plan to do more in the fall & winter:)
Wow! That’s a lot of workout in just 10 minutes! My arms have been weak for a few years. It was tough, but I (we) hung in there! Thanks for helping us be better, not just older.
I love your comment, "Thanks for helping us be better, not just older". Love that.
We did this one for our nighttime workout. I’d say we did pretty good today. In between I organized my yarn stash (the equivalent of a total closet clean out and organizing.)
That’s a lot of yarn!
That’s a lot of yarn!
@@ImprovedHealth ha ha, yes. I’m blessed!
Perfect classes, all of them thank you
That is a very generous comment. Thank you Bridget!
We did this one for our evening workout!! Always a great workout!!
We did this one for our second workout this evening. It’s another favorite of ours!!
Glad to see that you had time to get in two workouts:)
This was our evening workout; I always feel accomplished when I make it to the end of this one. Great way to end the day.
Feeling accomplished is a great thing:)
We did this one after our easy one this morning. I had forgotten what a great workout this really was!!! Wow. Thanks.
You & Rex are so good about working out consistently. It's impressive, Mary!
@@ImprovedHealth , awwwww, thank you; we try. We have you to thank for a lot of our inspiration.
Oh wow! That’s more of a workout than it sounds like! We used 2 lb weights. The exercises where our hands went above our shoulders/head….oh boy, those really got us. We did not do it at full speed, but kept up as we could. One day, maybe we can keep up with you one for one.
Thanks, Jules! You’re the best!
You're very kind, Mary. Thank you.
@@ImprovedHealth , you’re very welcome!
We did this little gem this evening!!
We ended our day (and week) with this one; it’s always a good one. Maybe next week a lot of things will be better.
Positive thinking:)
Wow! That’s the most strenuous workout I’ve done lately!!! Our first evening workout in a week-we needed it!!
It's definitely tough coming back to exercise after Covid. Your strength & endurance will likely come back quickly.
Tried this one again tonight. Wow!! What a good workout. We still fall behind you a little now and then, but we’re better than we were a month ago.
Progress is a wonderful thing:)
Goooooood workout for our arms!!!!
Done for today. Thanks!
We did this one for our second workout today.
Wow!!!! Great workout for just 10 minutes!!! I really like this one! Thanks, Jules!!!!
It’s amazing what just 10 minutes can do:)
We did this one tonight. I think we did good getting in some great workouts today!!
Thank, Jules, for all your hard work for us!!!
You did great:)
@@ImprovedHealth , thank you so much!!!
Your encouragement keeps us going!
We did this one for our second workout today. Great arm workout!
I'm glad to see your knee is allowing you to workout!
Showing up and toning up!!!
Our evening workout.
Awesome!
Wonderful, thank you so much! Such a pleasure watching and working out!!❤

Thanks for your comment:)

Is this still classed as doing strength training? Loved the back drop on this one. Can't believe its 3 years old ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Thanks Allyson! It's a combo of cardio and strength training but yes, the arms are definitely getting in a strength workout.😉
@@ImprovedHealthI really really felt it. Love walking with weights ones❤
J'adore vos cours❤
Merci!
This one for a quick little workout this evening.
This one, this evening. I could sure tell it was arms along with upper body. Great workout packed into 10 minutes!
I'm glad you enjoyed it, Mary:)
This was our evening workout, and it’s a really good one!!!!
Gosh, your arms must be getting toned with the amount of times you do this workout:)
@@ImprovedHealth , you’d think! This morning we did the disco workout, and I thought my arms would fall off!! Lol
Whew! Finished for today. That was a good one! We did better on the flutter today.
It feels great when the arms start getting stronger...they're bound to get stronger with the amount of arm workouts you are doing!
We did this one to end our day (and our week with you.) We’ll be making a little trip to south Alabama for (family friendly) Mardi Gras and sightseeing. We should be doing a lot of walking, so we’ll at least get I. A little exercise.
Hopefully we’ll meet back up with you on Monday.
Sounds wonderful! Have a great time!
Wow! I think our arms definitely got enough of a workout today! Great one, especially for our second round!
Congrats on your second workout!
This one for tonight!!!!

Lol, yes, yay you!!! I love it, Mary.❤️
@@ImprovedHealth 😍
To finish the day. Woo Hoo!!! Great one.
We did this one tonight!
Great arm workout!!! I had to do it seated, but it worked!!!
It’s great that you can modify these.
We did this one again tonight (although I told Rex I thought I had already done enough today, with taking down my Christmas tree and decorations, which I had not even planned to do for a few more days)
I was really tired by the time we did this, but I got through it.
So, I think I did good today!!!
I may be sore tomorrow!
Congrats for making it through! I took my tree down yesterday, too. Frees up so much space when it’s out of the way:)
Just found this fun exercise! Thanks much.Enjoyed it more because of the background music!will visit your channel for more.

As I always say, please go at the pace that works for you. I'm glad to hear you're doing exactly that:)
I didn’t, either, Patty, but at least we were doing something.
I always enjoy your workouts Jules… but this one was way too fast paced for me with my two pound weights… lol 😝 I still forged on, but at a slower pace.

Thank you!
I was able to do this one this evening, by doing a couple of modifications. Yea!!!!
I'm glad to read that your knee is improving:)

Smiling here…thanks Mary. 🥰
This one to wind up our day!
Congrats for doing two today!
Thanks 🙋🏼♀️
Merci je finis toujours ma scéance de walk at home d 'une heure par cette vidéo ....j'aime les Bee Gees.
Thanks for letting me know:)
Thanku so much. Wowww.I really enjoyed a million. I used water bottles as weights. Really incredible job ❤❤❤❤
Perfect substitute with the water bottles:)
Thanku Thanku Thanku so much.
We did this one to wind up our day.
Legal além de tudo, das músicas, dos exercícios esses quadros de parede são o máximo. Parabens
Muito obrigado! Agradeço o comentário!
Great
Awesome
Thank you!
We decided on this one this evening.
That ten minutes went by fast, but a couple of those moves….the flutter always gets me. Stronger than before, but still a challenge with 2 lb weights.
I agree...it is a tough exercise, especially with 2 lb weights! But, you're doing it:)
Awesome workout, even without weights! XD
Thanks Ashley!
Thanks so much, was great.
Glad you enjoyed it!
Toning our arms to end our day!
Cheers to that!
This was this evening’s workout.
First time. Thank you 😊
Welcome! This is an older workout of mine and I hope you'll enjoy some of the newer ones. If you look at the playlists on my channel, you'll find all of the workouts categorized into 3 levels (gentle, beginner and intermediate). If you enjoyed this one, you'll find more like this one in the beginner level playlists. Welcome to my channel!
@ImprovedHealth I did a 25 minute cardio today and improvised a bit but I made it. Thanks again
Congrats for doing it! Modifying workouts is always a great idea when it's needed:)@@lorifaust9874

whow !! I need 2lb only have 5's but great, thanks
Yes, 5 lbs would be tough for the shoulder moves! Love your enthusiasm! 1-3 lbs would be ideal since the moves are faster than a typical strength training workout.
This is slightly above my ability, but a great challenge to continue until it is comfortable. Thanks! Age 78
I love the determination to keep getting stronger, Dawn! You can always do it without weights, and gradually increase with very light weights and so on.
We finally got two workouts in in a day!!!
Excellent!
Since we did the cardio/ leg workout this morning, we thought we’d concentrate on arms this evening.
Maybe we’re good until tomorrow!
Impressed that you worked out again today:)
Whew! This seemed harder tonight for some reason, but we did it!!!
Yes, some days are definitely like that. I had one of those days today, too.
We ended today with this one, using our 2 lb weights.
Nice choice, Mary:)
We did this one tonight-oh, my arms!!!
I did it seated, though. Chiropractor wants me to go in “second gear” for a couple of weeks, until my knee gets repaired better.
That sounds like a good plan:)
Wow!! Next time I’m using 1 lb. I used my 3 lb. And that did me on lol
3 lbs would be tough!
Wow!! This one made me sweat tonight!! It’s a good one, my friend!
Thanks Mary...I'm glad it made you sweat! Always feels good to know our bodies are getting in a good workout.
👍👍
Whew!
We ended our day with this one; we only used our 1 lb weights today, though.
1 lb weights is better than no weights.😉
Our second workout for today!!!!
Congrats on fitting two in:)
We thought we might better do this one again; it’s been a while!
👏👏👏👍🌺
This one tonight; Rex stood and walked and I modified it for the chair.
Perfect modifications for you and Rex. I hope others will learn from you that there is always a way to keep moving.
We chose this one for our evening workout, but we listened to our own music. Sorry. But, the upside is that we continued “dancing and moving” with our weights because George Benson was singing “On Broadway”, which I love, so we just couldn’t resist.
Hey, I am totally okay with viewers muting me and putting on their own music. Music is what often motivates us so crank your favourite tunes as much as you want to:)

I hope you have a great first week back at work!!

This is the only one we got in today. 😢
But at least we did something.
Exactly. Be proud for working out today.
