1 MILE WALK | 1 MILE DANCE | Call it what you'd like but I say let's work out and have fun!

- I love to dance so I thought instead of walking, let's dance! I created the workout so we'll do a different move to incorporate more muscles being worked in our arms and legs and then we'll dance (however you'd like) on the next move. This is a short workout for beginners or for those who only have enough energy or time for the shorter time. My hope is you'll get energized by the workout and want to do more! Often the hardest part of exercising is starting.
You can call this a 1 mile walk or a 1 mile dance but as as said in the title, 'call it what you'd like but I say let's work out and have fun!'. So, let's do it!
Please subscribe and write a comment! I'd love to hear from you! Feedback is always welcome!
Wishing you improved health!

Jules: This was so much fun! Time flew by! I’m going to “stack” this one with a couple more 20 minute workouts. It’s perfect. Thank you, as always, for keeping us active AND having a lot of fun at the same time. Joann in Chicago 🥰
Thanks Joann! I hear Chicago is lovely...my niece just went to Chicago for her first year of college. Can't wait to visit your city one day (when the pandemic is eventually over!).
Yoo Hoo! Day 32! 👋
I don't know what you were listening to but you were really having fun! 😁
Great workout and it went so quick! Thank you 😊
Congrats on day 32, Annette!!! I was listening to what you were listening to:)
@@ImprovedHealth I was listening to Guitar Hero's 🤣🤣🤣
I enjoy this workout and good songs😊
Thanks Emily!
Phase 2 day 13! : D
I had a little chuckle when the 'Boingy Boingy' track came on half way through, it gets me every time!
I see you resisted doing a bit of po-going to it!
All good fun while working out!
Thank you for keeping me going!
A 🎈
Lol, you do make me laugh.Thank you for that!😁
First time joining and won't be my last. Enjoyed the session and music selection neutral Thanks for sharing
Thank you so much for taking the time to comment. Welcome to my channel!
That was fun! My favorite so far -- went sooo fast! My daughter and I just finished it a few minutes ago, and we feel great! I missed the stretching at the end, but I loved the workout and am saving it to our Favorites folder. Thank you, as always!
Thank you! Sometimes in the shorter ones I just put in cardio since I feel people are looking for a quick workout (and if I add stretching, my fear is people will see a longer time on the video timing, and will avoid it for that reason). I'm glad you both enjoyed the cardio workout:)
I'm a 63-year-old woman in North Florida. I live on a very tight budget. Your channel is helping me maintain my good health! I'm sure there are many others out here you are truly a lifeline enabling our good quality of life through being physically, mentally, and soulfully healthy. Deep thanks! ❤
Thanks Sherry. I am very happy to know these workouts are helping (that is why I started this channel).
She has been a miracle for me!! Over two years working out with her , and , at 74, I've stopped taking blood pressure meds !!
Love your music choice in all your videos
Thanks so much for your feedback:)
Thank you, dance teacher, here from Colombia, i am 51, but i almost don´t do any exercise, so i am enjoying the exercise guided by you. And the songs (melodies) too (either)
I'm so glad that you chose to exercise today! I hope you keep coming back:)
so much fun again!The dance sections I danced like I was a teenager again but with the carefree joy of being older and less self concious(& dancing in my living room :) )knowing the work bits would work me but not be hellish. Warm up for strength again today, I only have 30-40 mins for my workouts so I have to plan x
I’m so glad to read that you are having fun while dancing at home. As a teenager I hated dancing because I was so self-conscious. Getting older has its benefits:)
This 70 year old really enjoyed this, it made me feel 50 again.
Your workouts are amazing and just what I’ve been looking for for so long! A good workout that I can put as much as I like into it without making me feel ‘past it’.
Thank you so much.
I love that you felt 50 again...that made me smile:) I am very happy to read you are enjoying the workouts. Thanks for taking the time to let me know. 💗
Hi Jules......did day 2 of the Kickstart Your Fitness program and this on, the One Mile Walk/Dance, so much as always. When winter comes around again in Wisconsin, all these classes are going to be wonderful because I can't always get out to walk and it is a nice change from the elliptical, but I do like too. I think I am going to pick and choose different workouts to go along with the Kickstart program until the one is finished. I am so excited to have so many choices to choose from. I just can't thank you enough times for making all of these classes....have a super great day...take care and God Bless....Anne
I love your enthusiasm with working out and I'm thrilled to read that you are truly enjoying these workouts. Thank you so much for your comments each day, Anne. 💖
Thank you for this video. It is perfect!
Thanks so much for your feedback, Josie. I appreciate it!
So great to have these videos to turn to! It's -7F outside and the ground is covered with snow and ice. So - looking at the beach background and having the happy hormones delivered through dance - awesome! Thanks!
Thanks so much for your great comment, Wendy.❤️
Day 41! 😁
I listened to your music this time around and it was great fun! Afterwards I did a sitting down one as well.
I must be getting used to exercising now, it's still challenging but not as bad as when I first started! 🥵🥵🥵
Thank you super Jules!
🏋🏼♀️💪🏻🦵🏻🤩
It feels great when you get to that point, doesn't it? Your hard work is definitely paying off and your body is rewarding you:)
hello. today marks my one month journey and im down 12 lbs. working hard and eating healthy and you really help me keep going. my new saying is' never stop trying.' im so glad you found me and your my top person to go to and i appreciate all you do. hope you have a great day.
12 lbs in one month is impressive! You must be working hard with a combination of exercising and eating healthy to see that much of a weight loss. It's amazing what someone can accomplish when they put their mind to something and you are proof of that. Congratulations for working so hard and for getting awesome results!
Congratulations.
I danced my way through this workout. It was so much fun.
Thank you!
I'm so glad you enjoyed it, Madeleine:)
This workout is a lot of fun! Thank you!! 🤗
Thanks for letting me know that you enjoyed it.
Loved this! I was looking for a short cardio for strength/weight days and this was perfect! I never thought I'd be modifying anything to make it harder, but I added intervals of jogging to the dance moves! Really got the heart pumping and rest of me is good and warm for my strength workout! Thanks Jules! I love all the variety on your channel!
Woohoo! Look at you go! It's awesome to read that you were able to add jogging intervals into the workout, Carol. That's progress!
I loved all the energy and the music of this workout - thank you! That was so much fun! I found your channel at 5 months pregnant after recovering from a bad case of covid. I needed to very slowly and safely get back into exercise and to boost my mood, as I was feeling so low and my energy was so flat. I started by doing your "30 minute dance workout with 3100 fat burning low impact steps" twice a week, taking rests or slowing down during the workout when I needed to. From that starting point, I tried to stay consistent and added sessions weekly. Today, thanks to you, I'm 6.5 months pregnant and both my fitness and health have improved so much over the past 6 weeks that I could add this 1 mile walk/dance after the 30 minute dance workout, getting through both with no problems whatsoever! I'm so grateful for you and your channel!
Thank you so much for your comment, Juanita. First of all, congratulations on your pregnancy and for remaining active while pregnant. I know it’s not easy since we’re often tired but like you, I found exercise energized me during my pregnancies as well and made me feel better. I wish you a great few months that you have left before the baby arrives. Enjoy those beautiful little kicks while the baby dances with you:)
Such a quick invigorating workout!! Thank you, Jules..hope the rest of your day is fabulous🌹
Aww, thank you! Wishing you a lovely day, too.🫂
Day 48 of working out with you Jules! 👍🏻
I really like the pace and music in this video especially the bit that you'd like to jump up and down to!
Reading that makes me smile! 😁

I’m glad to read that you enjoyed the workout, and were amused:) 😉
We are in yet another heat wave (99 today, 100 yesterday) so I chose a short video (the bonus was my favorite beach scene) . So tempted to skip it all today but am glad I didn't because it was fast and fun. I'm planning to do the 10 minute strength video in a little while. It's so nice to have such a variety of videos to work with. Thanks Jules
Good for you for pushing yourself to workout despite the weather. A short workout is definitely better than no workout…and short is safer in those temperatures! Plus, I am assuming you had a/c or a fan on!
Just right. Love these. Love the oldies. Thank you
Such fun! I do it at the end of the day when I don't want to do 'serious' exercise. A bit of boogying does the world of good and sends me to bed with a smile on my face. Thanks, Jules - another winner!
Thanks so much for your lovely comment, Marjorie.
Hi Jules, I really enjoyed this workout however short. Never apologize when a workout goes beyond the time limit you set. It's great anyways. I had so many errands to run today so happy I found this short workout. Thank you Jules for always being there for us! Have a great day!
Thanks Vani:) I'm glad to read this short workout suited your schedule today. ❤️
We started our day with this one; we’re trying something different with our workouts. More later-it’s time for oatmeal!
We enjoyed this one a lot.
I'm happy to read that you enjoyed this one. It's definitely nice to change up the workouts to keep things interesting. A great choice with the oatmeal, btw. I have it every morning, too, along with a bit of good ol' Canadian maple syrup to give it some sweetness...and blueberries...and flax seed:)
Thanks for making exercise fun again. Great music too❤️❤️❤️😍😍😍
Thank you!!!
Love these short vedio workouts to do beforemeals and after sitting at a desk.
Thanks Jill!
I'm back! Day 2! 2:2 😊
One of my favourites with the boingy track in the middle!
I danced for 15 minutes afterwards to reach my 10,000 steps and now I'm happy!
Thank you Jules.
A x
Oh yay! Congrats on reaching 10,000 steps today! The ‘boingy’ comment made me laugh.
Love these workouts. Had knee replacement surgery. These got me ready and then helped me regain full range of motion within 2-3 weeks. Now I'm doing these to build stamina. Love the newer music.
Wow! That sounds like a super quick recovery. I think likely due to the fact that you were strong before the surgery. Good for you for taking such good care of your physical health.
Feels so good to be moving again. You were high energy in this one Jules - just what I needed today. I'm glad to be back. Thank you.
I'm so glad you're back at it, Valerie. Welcome back!
👌👏👏perfect before a strength session😊💐
I love to have fun while I'm working out...and you make it so easy to do so! Thanks for this one! It was just the right length, speed, and exertion level for my day today!
Great workout
Love the song & choreography
❤❤❤❤
I love your videos...I am 75 and I can finally have fun working out with you. Thank you so much. 😊💜
I'm so glad to read that you're having fun while working out.💖
I enjoy your workout videos because you are always smiling. It lifts my spirits! Thank you! I liked the workout but like the old music better! You are sweet to provide those options also! 😘
Thank you so much, Sharon:) I would love to use the oldies all the time and would if I earned income from those videos. I pay for a subscription to use music in my other videos.
You should have so many more subs and likes. Your vids are amazing! They help me enjoy movement again. Thank you!
Thank you, Dominique. I really appreciate your comment. Please share the videos when you can:)
Hi - good morning from CANADA! I just found you and I am not letting you go! LOL I am 81 and in piss poor health , sadly! I LOVE ABBA and the Bee Gees so that's a big plus already. I can't complete any of the videos yet but that's okay.....I will get there and if not, oh well! I have so much fun stepping and singing along with you that it doesn't seem too much of a chore because I really find exercising soooo boring but not with you! THANK YOU FROM THE BOTTOM OF MY HEART! HAVE A GREAT DAY AND GOD BLESS!!! XO
Lol, I love your comment. Okay, so the fact that you are here looking for exercises is a great first step! I have lots of gentle and beginner workouts so maybe start with those first and then over time you'll be able to do the intermediate workouts. If you go to my playlists, I have the workouts grouped together according to fitness level. Here's a short 10 minute workout which might be a good start. Just go at your own pace. ua-cam.com/video/ya8N4EF7ijY/v-deo.html
Love working out or dancing along! I mostly do your short videos 4-5 times through out my day. I'm a busy woman! :) This one was perfect!💝💝💝💝
Wow! 4-5 times a day? That's amazing!
This was great for when I need only a 15-minute cardio workout. I would love some dance videos that have music from the 50s and 60s. After all, that's the music of us current seniors.
I have several videos with popular, copyrighted music under the various playlists and levels. Usually with the 50's/60's, they tend to fall under the 'beginner level' playlists due to the beat. I hope to find the time to create another one soon.
No need to apologize! This was great! Please don’t change Anything! I went back and did it again and before these two times, I did a half-hour one! I have my timing all backward, though. I’m usually in here exercising at around midnight or so. 🙃 But I’m a night owl who’s attempting to have a more reasonable, “normal”, schedule. So far it’s not working out very well! There’s just something about being up in the middle of the night that is peaceful. See you tomorrow!
Wow! I can't imagine working out at midnight! But, you are working out and doing something healthy so it's all good! My guess is you likely catch up on sleep later in the morning (I hope so!).
@@ImprovedHealth I sleep in late, and there always naps!
@@louisevannorden2001 The life of retirement to be able to do what you want:)
@@ImprovedHealth It has it’s perks!
I am so happy I found your workouts. Just what I have been looking for.....simple movements with no talking. I love this. I did the 17 minute one after dinner and I will be doing one everyday. I am 77 years old and this is perfect for me. Thank you and keep up the great work!!
77 and rocking it! Congratulations for taking such good care of your health. Welcome to my channel, Jeri! I hope you continue to enjoy the variety of my workouts as you get through them. ❤️
Thank you for helping us have fun and stay healthy!
Thanks Laura!
I love this one!!! So much fun! 😊
Thanks Wendy! 🥰
Love this one! I absolutely love the music with this workout, I wanted to keep going. Thank you! ❤
Thanks so much for letting me know that you really enjoyed it.
I just found you this morning and just HAD to do your workout. Excellent and invigorating! Thank you so much!!
Welcome to my channel, Lisa! I am thrilled to read you enjoyed the workout! I have lots of ‘no talking’ videos in a playlist if you are interested. Thank you for taking the time to comment:)
@@ImprovedHealth Thank you so much!!
Jules … I hadn’t exercised for a week and it feels great to be back on track with you with this workout. Thank you 🤗
Super happy to have you back:)
I love this workout on the days I am not wanting to exercise. Gets me go going and makes me finish with another session to complete my minimum of 30 mins target. Love the music too!
That was my hope! Often we don’t feel like exercising so a short workout seems doable and then we get energized and want to do more!
Hey Jules. I so enjoy your videos. So many things I like. Little talking. (I dont mind talking but some people talk so much.) Great music! Love your smile!!! Just so many things. Thank you!!!
Aww, thank you SO much for letting me know what you enjoy about these workouts. I appreciate you taking the time to let me know. ❤️
Thank you. Aciu, Dziękuję 🤩
The timers really help keep me motivated because I KNOW I can do 30 seconds of exercise and then when the next one comes up I know I can do 30 seconds of exercise and before long I’ve dove 10-20 minutes.
I love how you do that throughout the workout...it's true that 30 seconds is pretty manageable. Kudos to you for pushing yourself to complete each 30 second block.
I love this one too! Thank you for sharing these! The length is perfect for someone trying to recover mobility.
Thanks for letting me know that you enjoyed the short, quick workout:)
You make me smile Jules. You look like you’re having so much fun!
Awww, thank you so much, Louise (you made me smile reading this).
I enjoyed this workout once again! So appreciate you🥰
Aw, thank you!!!🥰
It was really fun. Merci Jules et bonne journée ☺️
Merci Valerie! I wish I could say my French was better but it's pretty basic. My kids are in French immersion, though, and their French is getting pretty good:)
@@ImprovedHealth 😊
My english is not so good and honestly I prefer reading than hearing your instructions. But never mind your workout is great for me.🤗
Thanks for this! It's a rainy day here. If only I could get my dog to do walking videos...
Lol, thanks for making me laugh this evening. Cute comment:)
Just finished 2 miles at the lake now this 1 mile absolutely wonderful cardio workout. You are correct. The song at 5.36 minutes is great fun. Onto strength 21.
Fun way to start the morning - thank you.
I do enjoy the fun dancey workouts - they don't seem like work! But I like the ones that count down the time instead of counting steps - they seem shorter, I guess.
I don't usually put the step counter anymore in my newer workouts (just the countdown clock).
Worked out great with the time I had! Thanks.
Yes, sometimes the short workouts are great for busy days!
That one mile went by so quickly, in the most enjoyable way. Thank you! I love the progress bar at the bottom and the music. I subscribed today!
Thanks for subscribing! If you enjoyed this one, you can find more at this level under the 'intermediate level' playlists. I create 3 levels of workouts (gentle, beginner and intermediate) and categorize them all into the playlists. I hope you enjoy more of the workouts when you try them out. Welcome to my channel, Sharon!
Thanks for the different backdrops❤
Love her work outs the best!!
Thanks so much, Connie:)
Another good one! Thanks so much!
Hi Jules, I usually do your intermediate workouts, but now I’m at about 9000 feet for the next 4 months and I needed to take a step down to beginner until I fully acclimate, which can take a couple of weeks. Even this easy workout was a challenge-for now! Thanks!
You’re amazing, Laurie! Is the 4 months part of your adventure or is it a recommended amount of time to be at that altitude?
@@ImprovedHealth We have a second home in Colorado where we spend the summers and holidays. Even though there’s lots of hiking trails here, I still like to keep up with your cardio and strength routines.
@@leaster1000 Ah, I see. I was thinking you're climbing one of the big mountains (Kilimanjaro) or something on those lines and getting acclimatized for a big trek. But, Colorado sounds wonderful:)
Hi Jules
Well this is my third workout with you since I subscribed to your channel. I love your infectious smile.
Aww, what a nice comment to read this evening. Thank you Sandra:) I appreciate you sharing that with me.
Just found you. 🤗 Thanks so much, really enjoyed it. Great for when I can't get outside...weather dreadful. You are so uplifting and make me smile. 😄🌟
Welcome to my channel! I create gentle, beginner and intermediate workouts and categorize them in the playlists. If you go to the playlists, you'll be able to find more workouts that suit your fitness level. I hope you enjoy other ones as you try them.
You are so adorable! I have been doing your walk the weight off videos for 3 months now and just love them. I was happy to find this shorter one for my "rest" day and also your stretch video. Thank you so much and please keep them coming. :)
Your 'rest' day...wow, that's great Jill! That's for your comment...made me smile:)
FUN!!! Now to another on of yours with stretching at the end....THANK YOU.
Glad to read you are ensuring you stretch at the end:)
Tried this one first time today, fun workout, thank you.
I'm glad you enjoyed it:)
That was fun.
I loved this so much!!! You made me smile. Gentle but effective.
Thank you so much for your comment 💗
Oh man, that was so good. Thank you.
Lol, love your comment!
I loved this workout. I’m going to make it a daily routine where ever I can fit it in. By the way the music is so great! Keeps you wanting to move. Thanks so much!
Thanks so much, Monique! I have to say, I love the music, too:)
Amazing! Just what I needed today thanks so much
I tried a "Prevention" DVD workout this morning. No way - those girls are in their twenties. This is so much better!! Thank you.
Lol, thank you Jo Ann.
That was really fun!
Yay! I'm glad you enjoyed it and had fun while working out:)
I love this video . Just started back to exercising after quitting smoking .
Congratulations!!! I hope you keep coming back to exercise each day:) Congrats on getting rid of an old habit and adding in a new healthy one. I'm truly excited for you!

Thank you:)
Yet another one i loved thank you so much fun
Thanks again, Shirley!💖
I've been out of my exercise video routine for a few weeks when this popped up on my feed. It's a great incentive to know you are doing a mile in a short time. Thanks, done this twice and I do feel my energy levels boosted thanks to the pace and dancing!
I am happy to hear the workout got you moving again:)
It was fun and I love that easy movement dance
Thank you
Thank you for taking the time to comment:)
@@ImprovedHealth 👍
Just love this! Thank you so much for this awesome DANCE routine. This really motivates and lifts the spirits too. A winning combination. Perfect to do after a strength day..
Thanks Helen:) I had fun working out to the music (which I think was obvious!).
I have a swim date with a couple of friends today so I wanted something to loosen me up and get my heart beating - this video was just right! Wish I were swimming in that ocean behind you!
I wish I was swimming in the ocean, too!
This is my new add!ction. Thank you❤
Oh, wonderful! Thank you for sharing that with me!
