    Added this one to the end of my routine this morning. It was a nice ending to my workout. For those of you that are just starting out, CONGRATULATIONS, you won't regret it. I started working out to Jules two years ago by just doing the 15 minute workouts. I can remember how it was a challenge to get through it but I kept at it and eventually I was doing more and more each day. I also found that I had more energy and I started to feel accomplished and healthy again. Jules has videos for all fitness levels and gives great examples of moves you can do when something isn't working out for you. I promise you will see and feel the difference. Thanks again Jules for all you do for us in creating these videos and motivating us to keep at it.

    This little workout saves me when it all gets too much. Heart failure, weight, diabetes, serious kidney disease, getting old, and those days when it’s all too much is when I go back to this one. I do this and those snippets of motivation actually help to clear my sads. I’m not really getting better but I’m not getting worse and every day is a new day, 🎉

    Over the years I have tried various exercise videos but have never been able to maintain them. Since finding these I have been doing one almost every day. At 68 years old I am keen to keep my body working, my blood pressure down and avoid diabetes. If I lose weight that would be a bonus. Thank you so much for the variety of such manageable routines.

    Just found this. I am 73 and have been inactive for awhile. I've tried walking at the gym but I can only do two rounds and my back hurts. I'm extremely overweight and trying to get myself healthy enough to walk longer. I have added this to my daily routine doing it every couple of hours throughout my day. Thank you

      Hi Jackie, thanks for taking the time to write a comment. I love your idea of doing this every few hours. That's a great way to make it manageable, yet getting in lots of steps within the day. I create 3 levels of workouts (gentle, beginner and intermediate) and categorize all of the workouts into the playlists. You'll find plenty more like this one in the 'gentle level' playlists. I also have all of the workouts on my website at www.improvedhealthforseniors.com. Welcome to my channel! I hope you enjoy more of the workouts when you try them out.

    32 years old, found this channel looking up home workouts; I haven't been active in a long time and for many years I've struggled and failed to lose weight, and now I'm using a CPAP machine, am pre-diabetic, and going up and down stairs/walking around the neighborhood or down a city street SUCKS. I've tried anything you can think of to get healthier and going to the gym is a nightmare, surrounded by other guys my age who are bulky/muscular and I can barely lift a dumbell. Perhaps I'm being hard on myself, but you get the idea. I'm gonna try these workouts out. Good luck to everybody on their health journeys!

    • @ImprovedHealth
      @ImprovedHealth  6 місяців тому +1

      I am absolutely thrilled to have you here. Honestly, you CAN do this. You don't need to go to a gym to get fit and strong. My recommendation is just to make sure you come back EVERY SINGLE day. I'm not saying that to have you come back and use my workouts. I'm saying it because making fitness a daily plan will help you to reach your goals, and it'll make movement a habit. Once you start doing these more, you'll WANT to come back because you'll be feeling really good, and you'll miss it if you don't work out. To help you get started, I have 3 levels of workouts on my channel (gentle, beginner and intermediate). I also have various strength training videos. If you're totally new to strength workouts, please let me know and I'll include some that I hope you might enjoy. If you have some experience lifting weights, I'll suggest other ones. Just let me know in a reply, and I'll add the links for you. I would love for you to enjoy movement and exercise and I'm more than happy to help guide you with various videos. In combination with these workouts, just try to eat healthy. Don't diet. Eat, but aim to eat healthier foods and ensure you eat enough protein throughout the day. And, drink lots of water throughout the day (always have a water bottle with you and when you're hungry, drink water first, and then have your snack or meal). Don't ever quit...you CAN succeed. I have a great post on my blog which I truly hope will help to inspire you. These are of seniors, but the message is the same, we can all get stronger: www.improvedhealthforseniors.com/post/age-is-just-a-number-seniors-who-inspire

      @@Qdogg411 Excellent! You can start with any of the gentle or beginner cardio workouts (try some out to see which ones work best for you). I have strength workout calendars on my website. If you go to my website, you'll see the 'workout calendar' tab at the top of the site. I have created 6 levels of calendars. Maybe start with the first level, see how those workouts feel, and then go from there. If you don't like them, let me know and I'll give you other ones to try. I also have cardio calendars there, too:)

    I just want to say thank you so much for creating these gentle walking workouts. I had lower back surgery a month ago and had a titanium disk and four screws put between my L4 and L5 vertebrae. I was told to not exercise for another two months when I went for my 2-week checkup. After not exercising for four weeks, I could tell that I was losing muscles in my legs and arms and I didn't like it! I realized I will have to start completely over from the beginning to build up my muscles again. I am 68 years old, so am not looking forward to having to start over! Anyway, I found your UA-cam channel a long time ago and so I checked to see if you had any easy videos I could do without hurting anything in my back since I'm not supposed to Bend, Lift or Twist (BLT makes it easy to remember but also makes me hungry!). This video is perfect for me! I wanted to start out slowly with about a 10-minute video and I found this one and a couple other gentle ones. They are helping to build back my muscles slowly without hurting my back. I also really love the motivational blurbs you put throughout this video. They encourage me to keep going. I really appreciate you and your willingness to help us old folks! Thank you from the bottom of my heart! I think you are awesome!

    I can’t workout for more than 10 minutes because off my chronic Lyme disease. But I did want to get more exercise. I started with 10 minutes once a day and now manage to do it sometimes twice a day. I am curious to see if I will manage to expand thuis further, but am already very happy with this. Thanks for the gentle workout, you help me a lot with this. I know I will never become an advanced fitnessgirl, but exercise is something everyone needs. On bad days I skip or walk alone on the music while you do the exercises. I can adjust it to how much i can handle that day. Thanks again for providing this opportunity.

    28, 10 2023 Hi Jules, do you think it's crazy to choose the easiest lightest exercises to do? These last 7 days since I started exercising I kept going for these gentle and easy exercises. I am starting to feel like exercising again, I managed a week without break against odds since I am taking strong antibiotics for my toothache. But I enjoy, yes, I love these ones now. I am a bit afraid of the ones I used to do because they are too hard for me now. Anyway, I am glad I have found this gentle walk. It's the first time I did it. Lovely video, nice background picture.

    • @ImprovedHealth
      @ImprovedHealth  Рік тому

      If you love these ones, I'd absolutely recommend sticking with them. If you ever want to do more, just add on an extra one later in the day. No pressure, though. For now, enjoy movement and be proud that you're returning each day.

    I continue to absolutely love the 10 and 15 minute workouts with you. It's just what I need to move my whole body and get cardio plus some strength training at the same time. With having lots of health issues, like fibromyalgia as well as being a senior, yours are absolutely the best workouts for me! I'm doing them nearly every day and hope to eventually do them twice a day. Thank you again for this wonderful service for people like me.

    Just completed this workout Jules. I miss your soft and gentle voice guiding us along and letting us know what’s coming up. I couldn’t really read what was on the screen because the color of the print was too light, at least on my side. Don’t know if anyone else had the same problem or not, but another great workout. Got my heart rate up and I can feel it in my legs, so did one of your stretching videos.

    Hello, thank you so much for this straightforward, gentle workout video! I’m about 14 pounds heavier than this time last year and I’ve been feeling pretty miserable about it. I’ve stumbled upon your channel and I’m feeling so much more optimistic about starting my exercise journey again as a lot of the time workouts can seem intense and intimidating and often times it puts me off straight away! So thank you for putting these achievable workouts out there! I’d like to lose a few pounds in time for Christmas and I hope (along with a healthier diet) these videos will help!🤍

    I loved this so much! I'm often completely sapped of energy after work, and doing workouts always feel forced, like a chore. I've struggled with emotional/stress eating all my life, and know very well how we beat ourselves up over it, day after day. The affirmations in this one were so touching, and just what I needed. This will be my new evening workout - not to get all sweaty and out of breath - but to improve my health, reduce my stress, and maybe learn to believe in myself more. Thank you for this video!

Depending on how I feel I can combine workouts to do a shorter or longer combination of videos. Sometimes I do the gentle walk and then a more vigorous one. If a move is difficult I can modify it. I also do the standing abs workout. I’ve lost around 25 pounds in the last 13 weeks and as I lose more and the exercise gets easier I will try some of the longer videos. Thank you for these videos. They keep me motivated. ❤
