I just want to thank you youtube cardio lady... 40lbs gone this year all due to changing my diet and working out with you daily. You have helped change my life! Much gratitude ❤
Oh, wow! A massive congratulations to you for changing your lifestyle and for seeing the benefits with 40 lbs down! Thanks so much for taking the time to let me know that you're enjoying the workouts and that they've been helping. Also, congrats for exercising daily!
I did this one today. But when I saw the quote “be grateful you are able to move” I almost had to pause. I’ll be 63 July 31. At this age no way my mom could do this. She did not take care of herself. We lost her at 75. I M so grateful for being able to move! Thank you for helping me do just that !
Thank you for letting me know how meaningful the comment was for you, Nora. I appreciate that. I cycle most days and each time I get on my bike, I think of how grateful I am to be able to use my legs to bike. We never know what life will bring so each day that my legs move me, I'm thankful.
OK I'm not going to lie. When I saw 40 minutes I groaned. LOL Then I got to moving and I thought, ok this isn't so bad, switching every 20 seconds made it doable. Then when I got to the 30 minute mark my body was rebelling but I kept insisting we finish and finish I did. I definitely worked up a major sweat and it felt WONDERFUL to get it done. Thanks for another challenge and upbeat workout.
Lol, I am not surprised about the groaning since I think a lot of people likely did the same thing when they saw the 40 min! I don't typically make longer cardio workouts because I know most people feel the same way as you. A HUGE congrats to you for doing this workout despite not wanting to, Carrie! I am so glad to read that you worked up a good sweat, kept going when you didn't want to (that says a lot about you!) and felt wonderful when you finished. You DID it...and now you can fully enjoy the day ahead:)
Hi Jules! This workout was just what I needed today. My father had a heart attack a month ago at my home. We got him to ER in the nick of time. He had bypass surgery and is doing well now. I have missed exercising and my health is even more of a priority now. To everyone reading this comment, Do not take your health for granted! It can change in a moment of time. I encourage everyone to take care of yourself by eating right and exercising with Jules!! 💕
Life is definitely not to be taken for granted. I'm so glad to read that your dad is doing well now. Thanks for letting me know that you enjoyed this. It truly is amazing how much we miss exercise when it becomes such an important part of our lives. Welcome back!
I did it. I woke up at 6:30 am and drank lemon water as my only fuel for doing this workout. Im so happy i could cry. Happy that i finished this workout. And happy i could joing all these lovely spectacular people in the comments who also finished their workout. Im so proud of everyone. This just shows that we can do anything we put our minds to. And im putting my mind to taking a shower and eating breakfast
A huge kudos to you for doing this first thing in the morning! It's definitely a great feeling to get a workout done and then move on with the day. Wishing you a great day ahead:)
Hi and welcome to my channel! Just so you know, I create 3 levels of workouts (gentle, beginner and intermediate levels). If you liked this one, you'll find plenty more like it in the 'intermediate level' playlists. I hope you enjoy more of them when you try them out. Thanks for taking the time to comment to let me know that you're new here.
@@ImprovedHealth I am using the intermediate as I have been exercising a long time and consistently. Your workouts minimize injury risk, and today I did this one a second time as my hamstring was strained and is now healed. 70th birthday in a few months, and feeling fitter than ever. 😍
@@VtRD It really is amazing how fit we can be as we age if we continue to work out consistently throughout our lives. I was chatting with my 78 year old uncle yesterday who I haven't seen in a long time and I found out he hikes regularly and often does 3-4 hour hikes on trails (which include up and down terrain)! I was amazed, and it really goes to show what we're capable of if we stick with it.
Thanks for these longer cardio ones Jules, I know they take a whole lot of time and energy on your part!! We are having 7 days of rain in South Carolina so it is easy to go into slug mode😂 I really like the 20 second increments and the new moves you’ve added to keep the mind and body out of autopilot!! I appreciate you leaving in the times you mess up as it makes you even more relatable because I’m right there laughing with you through my missteps. Thanks for making exercise fun and creating this awesome community ❤
Thanks so much for your feedback, Carol. I appreciate your comment about when I mess up...I wish I didn't, but I have so much going on in my mind between watching the time, focusing on the current move and then thinking about the next move, etc. I'm glad you're laughing with me, rather than getting frustrated:)🥰
Doing this one today!! Can’t wait !! These are one of my faves and when you do the throwback workouts, especially the 80s !! Thank you so much, your videos have really helped me!! ♥️🙏🙌💪🙋🏻♀️
Great workout! Love the 20 second intervals. Very doable and makes the time go quick. I also like that you include stretching at the end of your videos and don't make me "click on this video" to stretch, which I never follow through on. Thanks for all you do! Much appreciated.
Good Morning...First & Foremost I want to Sincerely Thank You, for Your GLORIOUS Videos😊 That always makes me FEEL on Top of the World. I'm Very 🙏 GRATEFUL for ALL of the LOVE & CARE that You dearly put into EVERY Single work-out Video❤😊
WOW! This workout was challenging and invigorating! I am not one who usually sweats much during workouts, but I am a sweaty mess after this one! Thank you so much for all you do for the benefit of so many!
I did this workout today and I felt such gratitude I could. I discovered you several months ago and started slow with your workouts. I have lost 22 lbs so far and I am motivated in making changes in my diet and exercise goals. I have added yoga and this has helped balanced me mentally. I love doing your workouts and this is from someone who gets bored easily with exercise routines. Your energy and enthusiasm makes your workouts fun! Thank you 😊
Thank you SO much for taking the time to write your comment. It has put a massive smile on my face. I am so glad to know that you're enjoying the workouts and that you're motivated and setting goals. Simply awesome.💪
238 pounds, just finished your workout video and I feel great! Goal is to lose 50 pounds to start out with this year, and with this video and a proper diet, I feel like that goal is achievable. Thank you!
I am SO excited for you and for what 2024 will bring. You sound determined and I love that you are also planning to include healthy eating to reach your goal. I wrote a blog post on my website last week which might provide you with some helpful tips. My biggest tip is to start strength training as well. The combo of cardio and strength will definitely kickstart your metabolism and have you reaching your goals quicker. www.improvedhealthforseniors.com If you're not a senior, not to worry, the tips and these workouts apply to all ages:) I hope you'll share your progress as the weeks and months go on!
@@ImprovedHealth I have head that, as well, about the strength training/cardio combination being extra beneficial for the metabolism. Thank you for your positive words! :) Edit 03/24: Down to 223 🙏
I love that your workouts are unique - I'm never bored, and I'm always challenged. However, the movements are familiar so I can easily keep up with the changes. Thank you!
I did it💪 it's really very demanding and exhausting but due to the short intervals it's so varied that it's still fun. You manage to design really strenuous workouts in such a way that you still do it and enjoy it. After that you are very proud of yourself. Thanks Jules I am so happy to have found your channel.😊
Really enjoyed this workout. Thank you for making a longer one. Felt it in my legs. And thank you for adding the stretch at the end. 💞 Really enjoy your workouts. They are so easy to do at home. Keep them coming!!
Brilliant to use the 20 second intervals! More mental engagement makes the time fly. I appreciate the thought and effort that goes into planning a workout like this--thank you! And as always--THANK YOU for including a stretch. Also, I really appreciate the "change sides" chime--keeps me from twisting and craning my neck to see the screen. It's a little thing, but it means a lot. 🥰
HUGE FAN. I love your videos and I do them every day. I do the 25 minute cardio workout which I've been doing now for almost 9 months, and daily other than a month or so when I got an under the desk elliptical but I figured out quickly that the elliptical is great but cannot be an adequate substitute for the cardio workouts!! Stumbled on this one last week and have begun doing it instead of the 25 minute one. Didn't think I could do it, but it's so easy to follow and I surprised myself that I did the entire 40 minutes!!! Have been doing this one now for about a week - every day without fail - and this morning I did the 25 minute one AM and this on in the afternoon!! SO GRATEFUL TO MOVE!!! I'll be 64 this year, and I have type 2 diabetes. Over the past 2 years I've lost 92 pounds (12" in my bust!!) and am SO THANKFUL for your videos!!! God bless you!!!
Oh, thank you so much for taking the time to write your comment, Elaine!!! I am all smiles here:) I am absolutely ecstatic for you to have lost 92 pounds!!! Wow, you have been working hard! Your consistency with exercise is definitely paying off. A massive congrats to you for trying a new longer workout as well, and adding on exercise in the evenings now, too! I am definitely looking forward to hearing about your continued progress. Absolutely amazing!
Loved this workout, with a good beat it motivates to keep exercising and the time flies. I usually do yoga on 2 or 3 days so all these cardio workouts as extra are brilliant, so pleased I discovered these.
You sure know how to challenge us JUST RIGHT. The water break came just in time. I’m caring for my hubby after surgery and I was able to do the first half. Mañana I’ll do the 2nd and when he’s more independent I’ll do it all. ❤❤
Had a rough/painful doctor visit and did not feel like working out. I found this and am very happy that I was able to go my own speed and move! I was able to burn 214 active calories with this workout and 4,241 steps! Thank you so much
Thank you Jules for another fantastic workout. You don't know just how much I look forward to Monday morning to see what new workout you have instore for us. This one is a keeper❤
Welcome to my channel! Just to help you navigate the channel, I create 3 levels of workouts (gentle, beginner and intermediate) and categorize them all into the playlists.

That was a quick 40 minutes! Definitely "glowing" here. It was badly needed. An emotional morning clearning mums things. This was god for me head. Discovered though my coordination is rubbish! Thanks Jules.
@@ImprovedHealth I am. Clearing mums clothes was emotional, but its done now. Going to the garden centre to buy compost and plants. An hour or two in the garden will be good for me.
Time went so fast! Normally try to just do 30 min. ones. So glad I was a bit more ambitious today! Thank you, it was great! Hope you have a great weekend!!
This is a great workout! I love the twenty second intervals and the repetition. The music was great too! Upbeat, but peaceful too. I have stuck with your RU-vid videos longer than anything I have tried before (going on about 4 months consistently now). You are such an encourager too. 🙂
Thanks so much for taking the time to share your progress, Melody! I am thrilled to read that you have been more consistent with exercise! Congrats on nearly 4 months!
A great lead. Well done to you too. Wonderful encouragement all the way through. Thank you. I’m so happy to be able to do an intermediate level workout from time to time. I did not enjoy the music. Great tempo but too repetitive. And I felt that your written queuing was late. I think you usually clue on five seconds before the next move and this time it seems like two or one second before the next move. A little harder for me to follow but not impossible. Just my opinion. Take what you like and leave the rest please.❤
Great feedback, Cynthia. You're absolutely right about the 'next move'. I actually pushed it back a little bit thinking it might be better so I am thankful for your feedback. I'll bring it back to 5 seconds before. Thanks for that. With the music, I hear you. I'll keep trying new music when I can using the two music providers I pay for. The one nice thing about this provider is that the beat is consistent but I know what you're saying in terms of it being repetitive.
It is 105 here in Texas. Thank you for this workout, I can work on cardio and strength without leaving my room! The music was effective but ABBA is my all time favorite.
Ironically enough, my husband just said about an hour ago about the heat in Texas (he was looking at temps here and randomly saw the temps in Texas). I can see why you are definitely working out indoors!
Hi Jules: another amazing workout. I love this workout. I saved this one. You are absolutely amazing. I love starting the week off with a great workout. Thank you so much for this amazing video. 😅😅😅
Hi Jules! I got a really good night's sleep last night and so decided to push myself and do a longer cardio. It got a little tough for me the last 10 minutes but I was really enjoying it so pushed through to the end. Even my knees are sweating! I loved all the arm movements and the pace was perfect for a 40 minute cardio. Thank you!
Thank you Jules, really enjoyed this one. I like the 20sec intervals and the repeat of exercises because it takes me a sec to get the pattern at times, thanks again. Wishing you and your loved ones well.
That's what I think when I repeat a pattern (meaning I am sure a lot of people take a second or two to get the next movement). I'm glad that works well for you:)
Back to this firm favourite today, the perfect length for when I am resting from strength training but want more cardio. Please can we have more like it? Many thanks for all your wonderful workouts, I love starting my day the Jules way! 😊
Hopefully I can find some time over the holidays to get another long one together. Since I returned to full-time work in Sept, it's been harder to create long videos. I shall try, Susan!
these new workouts are helping me rebuild my strength and endurance after a long illness. my balance and range of motion are improving weekly. And i am having fun!!!!!
WOW - I thought when I saw this 40 minutes it can't be - but it was and it was great the time just flew by! Thanks for a great workout that I plan on using regularly in my stay healthy routine****

I hesitated to start this because I've done SO much walking in the last 2 days but started it anyway. And finished it too! I loved all the arm movements whih make me twist and loosen me up. Also loved all of the variation of moves. Thank you Jules! 💖💪
Did this workout for the first time today and I'm so glad I found it! I really like the 20 second intervals, they're very doable. Your quote "be grateful you are able to move" really hit home for me. At 66 I have to keep moving and your workouts will certainly help with that! I always look forward to your new workouts.
I'm 67 and I so enjoyed this workout. I try to do it every Monday morning and then your 20 minute routines Wed and Friday. I feel so much better and am losing weight and inches. Thanks so much.
40 min can definitely be tough to reach, so kudos to you for getting to this point that you can do it! It’s such a great feeling when we do more than we think we can.
Have been trting many of ur low impact workouts... Couldn't go beyond 40 min... So tried this today .. for the first time could complete it .. feeling great... 20 sec switch is easy to do... Thanks for accompanying me daily.... U r truely an inspiration..😊
First of all, congrats for completing this one! That's great news! Thank you for letting me know that you're enjoying the variety of workouts (and for your kindness in the comment).
I absolutely LOVE your workouts! I was told I needed to try to get 1 hour of exercise a day, so when I pick a workout, I go by how many minutes it is. It is so refreshing to pick a workout that is actually however many minutes the title says it is! THEN the stretching! There's so many out there that include the stretching as part of the minutes. And I love the 70's & 80's workouts!! The more, the merrier! The words of encouragement are the icing on the cake!! I'm so thankful I found you!! I do your workouts exclusively anymore! Thank you, thank you, thank you!
Thanks SO much for your feedback, Stacey. I really appreciate reading what you enjoy about the workouts. I do often include the stretching in the time when I create the all-in-ones since they include cardio, strength, balance and stretching, but when I create the cardio workouts, or strength only, then the stretching isn't included. Kind of made sense to me to make them that way (and glad you agree!).😉
Hi Susan, welcome to my channel and thank you for letting me know that you're new here. 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 'intermediate level' playlists. My hope is that if you return daily for exercise, you'll start to feel better mentally, and that your blood pressure will start to come down, AND you'll sleep better. There are so many benefits (beyond what we see on the outside). I've heard of lots of people no longer having sleep apnea after working out regularly. I truly hope you enjoy more of the workouts when you try them out.
Let’s call this one Preato Chango. Those 20 sec exercises can get a bit brutal. I made it through and was very happy when Stretch came up on the screen. Thanks Jules. This was another good one.
