Hello Jules! I just finished this workout, and I have to compliment you on yet another winning one! I loved how comprehensive it is, and as a woman in her 60's, with a family history of hip fractures, I'm acutely aware of how I need to maintain and improve my balance. This workout will do just that! I also love your other videos, and I would rate them all 10+ if I could! I'm not able to get to a gym right now, and I was quite depressed about growing out of shape and losing energy, but I truly feel that your videos are an absolute lifesaver! Wow, you have seriously helped people all over the world, and making the world a nicer place is very needed right now. Wishing you all the best, and thanks for everything!
Aww (I literally just said that out loud as I finished reading your comment). THANK YOU, Traci! I was just about to get off my computer when I saw one new comment come up (yours). It's a wonderful comment for me to read before signing off for the evening. Thank you so much for taking the time to let me know your feedback. I truly appreciate it.🫂
Dear Jules hi! I am Anda from Greece, age 64. I have contacted you back in August of '23. I was in a very bad place back then, for 2 years. Any way, I started working-out with you almost every day, I lost 20 pounds, I downloaded the 'Insight Timer" app and did some meditation, and I started a gratitude Journal- I took all your advice! I want to thank you for the things you do, your workout routines, your positive presence, and the immediate way you respond to everyone. I found-out that you are a Capricorn like me! Well, God bless you, dear!
You have actually made me cry...yep, true! I sat here reading your message, had to pause and just sit as I started to cry. I remember back in high school I didn't know what I wanted to be or what to study, but I definitely knew I wanted to be in a profession where I could help people. I am absolutely thrilled to read that you are doing well and that I have helped in some way. I love knowing that the mindfulness and gratitude journal helped, and that you are exercising regularly. I can't thank you enough for taking the time to let me know that you're healthy and happy, and doing well. Thank you!🫂
Hello from Melbourne ,Australia! I'm 75 and enjoy your exercises so much try to do everyday! This video today was perfect!! A great combination! I love that there is little or no talking in your videos. Thank you for your guidance Jules !
Thank you very much for taking the time to comment today, and welcome to my channel! A massive kudos to you for making a commitment to exercising daily. Thanks as well for subscribing to my channel:)
I'm so glad to read that. I have a new 20 minute one coming out tomorrow. If you want more like these, I also have a playlist dedicated to the intermediate level all-in-one workouts.
Feeling WELL BALANCED, Jules, with all the one-legged movements. My PT would be impressed! Loved the addition of the toes down portion of the leg stretch. Another great start to a new week, thanks to you. ❣
I just love these all in one workouts! I've been working out to your videos now for I think just over 2 years and I feel so much better -- no stiffness and minimal joint pain. I'm 66 and plan to be around for a good while longer!
I’m a trucker and started this program when I turned 70 this year and thank you very sweetly. It’s helping me out a lot. God bless you and your beautiful smile and words of wisdom.🙏🎉
I have only been doing your videos for about a month and there is already a great difference in my abilities. This video today was perfect!! A great combination! I love that there is little or no talking in your videos. Thank you for your enthusiasm and guidance!
Oh wonderful! Thank you very much for taking the time to let me know that you're seeing a difference and enjoying the workouts. I definitely appreciate it.
Thank you for these workouts! It has been so hard for me to not work hard due to a hip injury, your workouts are gentle enough that this 70 year old gramma can do! Hopefully I will recover enough to do some kick ass workouts soon!
Julie- love this one. My balance is terrible and you are so good at it. My hubby just commented he loves your music! I’m going to have to do this without again tomorrow until I master this. You keep me smiling🤣😂😊. Love your leggings! They make me happy. Great job to you too!
Thanks so much for your kind comment, Nancy. One thing to do to make the balance a little bit easier is to bend the supporting leg a little bit more and definitely feel free to have a chair beside you to hold onto as needed. Glad to read that your hubby enjoys the music!
Hi Jules, I wanted to tell you how much I enjoy your workouts! I am 52, have an autoimmune that prevents intense workouts, and have bad hips from an auto accident. Your workouts are low impact and provide a well rounded workout. Thank you! I was an avid runner, running 40-60 miles a week and had to stop. Trying to stay in shape for mobility, flexibility , and strength has been a journey. Thank you for providing a great low impact, fun, and modest approach! ~~ Laura
Thank you very much for taking the time to write your comment and feedback, Laura. I definitely appreciate reading about what you enjoy in the workouts and how they help. I hope you continue to enjoy what I create and I wish you all the best as you continue to get stronger. 🫂
I love this video, especially the music! It makes me go further than I think I can go ❤ I am 72 years old and I am now exercising every day, mostly with your videos. My balance has improved greatly. I love kickboxing 😂 I truly appreciate when you include the number of steps in your videos since I don’t have a FitBit or anything like it. I am trying to count my steps each day! I sometimes do a 30 min video in 2 or 3 segments throughout the day…seems to work better for me and keeps me energized. I just wanted to tell you how much I appreciate your channel…so much variety and inspiration 😊 Thank you!
Thank you very much for taking the time to let me know that you're enjoying the variety of workouts, Paula. I love knowing that the videos are making a difference.
Was feeling like a slug all day…my watch was reminding me…i still had time…to get my exercise minutes in…thought i would try it out…managed to stay caught up…and the while i need to work on balance…i kept trying…thanks
I looked up this workout for today. Really loved every bit about it. Balance section was a bit challenging but went great🤗🥳😅. Great music. Time flew by. Thanks for motivating me to move today🌺🌺🌞👋
I loved this one Jules! I appreciated the dynamic strengthening so we were still getting our steps in🙌🏻. The balance move most challenging was the hip extension but I did it! Doing your workouts for a year now has certainly improved all areas of my life. Thanks for being a beacon of light and health for so many❤
I have recently found your channel, and I am loving these videos! They are perfect to do at work (with my door closed). Thank you for doing these videos for the "over 50" crowd. ;-)
Wow! A massive kudos to you for taking the time to work out in your office during your break! That takes motivation for sure! 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. I hope you enjoy more of the workouts when you try them out.
I appreciate you and your content - the options you offer and the steadfast way you continue to encourage us. At 70 I enjoy feeling strong and capable and you give me (us) that.
Hi Jules, You have made exercising enjoyable for me, which has never been the case before. Recently we did some home renovations and my routine was derailed. Now that I'm back on track, I've noticed not only do your videos help me physically, but they help me mentally as well. The exercises and your motivational ending words help me think positively throughout the day. Also, your calendars are the best. Thank you so much for all you do.
Hi Michele, thank you SO much for taking the time to write your comment and to provide me with your thoughtful feedback. I am so glad to know that you feel the benefits of the workouts and calendars.
I am on a long car trip this week, and this workout is the perfect way to start and end the long days in the car! I can do this easily in my hotel room and feel great! Thank you for creating the perfect workout!
I don't know how you do it Jules, but you make all of your workouts fun! It's a sunny day and the sun is streaming in and heating me up but with 2 fans going I managed to stay cool enough and I thoroughly enjoyed it. So thank you Jules!
Hi Jules: I absolutely loved this all in workout video. I love starting the week with your workout videos. You are absolutely amazing. You know how to make a great video. Have a great week. 😅😅😅
Thanks for your feedback, Donna. If you go to my playlists, I have a whole playlist dedicated to all-in-one workouts (under the different levels of gentle, beginner and intermediate).
Thanks,Jules,once again for the great exercise.I am from the Philippines and I am in my 60s.These exercises on strengthening and balance are very helpful for me.More power to you!
I really did love the workout and never felt guilty for using a chair to help to support me during the balance part. At 71 I keep trying for the balance and you make it okay to not feel defeated because I can’t do the balance part like you do. Modifying for me works and I still get a great workout that makes me feel great.
@@ImprovedHealth Well I am glad but you have brought me thru a lot. You probably don’t remember but a year ago August my was crushed by a horse and the skin ripped from the top. I found you looking for chair exercises because I didn’t want to lose my strength. I fell in love with your videos and your sweetness and I am still working out with you appreciating all of them. You have a gift and I know there are many stories out there like mine. You speak of your classes, I wish I could attend in person . Thanks again
You bring opportunities for health, optimism, gentleness and development each session. Thank you for all of your hard work on behalf of many people you never meet.
Happy Monday 🌈❤️🌈 I love this Total body...a little bit of everything workout. The 30 minutes flew!! 🎉 Thank you for creating Jules ❤ I hope you have a great week ahead!! 🌈❤️🌈
@@ImprovedHealth I actually got your workout in twice. The morning one was full of stops and restarts and interruptions. Yeah it was one of those Monday mornings. 😐 I gave myself a do-over after dinner 🤗 You are so sweet to know when I workout with you ❤️🤗❤️🤗❤️🤗
Loving your workout gear Jules. Your leggings resemble the mountains behind you! I adapted the middle section without using weights (still misplaced) by doing each movement strongly and in double time. That worked! And then YOU joined ME dancing the last 10 minutes! Great fun and lots of steps! 😁 Annette x🎈

Perfect video Jules! The best I have to say! You keep us all on track! I live in Dubai and it’s either hot and humid or windy and sandy!neither is ideal so I do my workouts inside now and have recommended you to my friends in their 70’s and 80’s the balancing exercises are excellent with tendency to falling at our age! Thank you so much! ❤
I love your channel! These are the perfect workouts and I appreciate the count down clocks, the exercise previews, and the lack of talking. Thank you!!!
I think you posted the comment yesterday about the 200,000 subscriber mark and I said I would hit it overnight....and then I woke up this morning thinking, 'oh yeah, it's 190,000 I'm coming up to, not 200,000!'. Anyway, getting closer:) And if it wasn't you, Claudia, just totally ignore this message!😉
All in ones are my go to. This was quite hard at bits but doable. I loved the way u fitted 3 exercises into one..I mean 3 areas into one move...u r amazing. I really enjoyed the balance ones... Another success ❤❤❤❤
🎉 I saw, I sweated and I conquered! Had a little trouble on the last set of lateral leg scissor type exercise (multiple left hip problems),so I walked out the last 5. I listened to your suggestions AND I didn't feel bad about it Jules, I felt good for finishing the workout 💪 😊
So glad to read that you modified the workout as needed. That's ideal as there is no point in pushing through a movement that you know doesn't work for your body. Congrats for finishing:)
Hi Jules! I just finished this one and I must say, it is my new favorite! I love your workouts. After doing them for the past nine months they have helped me through my depression after the death of both of my parents in July 2023, getting through my daughters wedding and helping me to look good for that in September 2023 and continuing on now into 2024 helping me to lose more weight, gain more muscle tone and it is even helping with the pain I have from my arthritis and my neck and back issues. I actually ache more if I miss too many workouts. Thank you so much for improving my life. You have helped me more than you’ll ever know!! ❤
It’s amazing how exercise helps with so many different things. I especially like the short ones because if I’m feeling lazy I’ll choose a short one and by the time I finish , I feel like doing another one, lol! It also helps that you have so many different levels. I like the variety and the upbeat music. Your routines feel easy enough for me that I don’t dread exercising. They are easy yet very effective. 😁
Good morning Jules! This is an excellent session, so intelligently put together. Without being intimidated, I had a complete w/o in half an hour. The kicks at 0900-0800 were very good, as was the coordination move at 0200. Thank you sincerely for all the effort you put into each video🙏 Wishing you an awesome day.
Another great routine. My 3rd. I didnt know if I could do the entire 30 minutes, but I did it. I wish i had the discipline to do these on a regular basis. I feel so good afterwards. Thank you for not editing out when you almost loose your balance. Your honesty helps to keep me going. I love it all.
I am going to copy and paste what you wrote....'I wish I had the discipline to do these on a regular basis. I feel so good afterwards.' When you have a difficult time getting motivated to exercise, try to remember your own words, "I feel so good afterwards". Starting is definitely the hardest part, but just think of the feel-good effects of how you feel after and hopefully that'll help. Also remember that exercise is truly what keeps us young. The more active we are, the better off we'll be down the road. When you see older adults in wheelchairs, it's often because they stopped exercising and moving. In most cases, it could have been avoided if they had exercised throughout their lifetime. Hopefully that can keep you motivated, too:)
This was our morning workout for today. I have not been falling or anything like that lately, but I sure have been struggling with the balance portion of the workouts lately (today, mostly when also using weights)
I created two new balance routines...one here and one on my other channel using a chair for support. I'll add the link to my other channel in case you want to start with the other one. If you have time, Mary, try to do it daily or every 2nd day. youtube.com/@ImprovedHealthChairWorkouts
Ganz herzlichen Dank und liebe Grüße aus Österreich! Das war einfach wunderbar. Thank you very much and the very best wishes from Austria. That was really awesome!
We did this one this morning; definitely had to modify some moves, and sometimes go slower, but we did it. Very challenging balance moves; hopefully we’ll get better at those.
Great workout! I also like the fact that it includes a warm up and cool down then weights to work on the upper body/arms and a lot of movement. 30 minutes well spent! Thank you so much 👏
