Amazing! I just needed a short workout today. It’s so touching that you, Jules, treat all your admirers so carefully. Low bow to you. Really enjoyed the workout, thank you so much Jules! Have a great week!

Thank you!🥰

Loving these short workouts! It's easy to fit more than one into your day 👍👌❤

[@jmg8090]

I also love that I can add this short workout onto a cardio session ❤

Good Morning Jules: I love your quick weight training session. I look forward to your workout every week. Thank you so much for sharing. Have a great day. 😅😅😅

[@emilyng6972]

Love this strength workout! I like the demonstrations. Those are my most favourite music that can cheer me up during the workout in today’s crazy world. Thank you Jules!😊

[@ImprovedHealth]

Thanks for your feedback, Emily.❤️

I appreciate the shorter workout's that can be paired with cardio and perfect when you need a quick strength training workout. Thanks so much Jules!

Thanks Audrey!

Did this wee beauty twice....wow its a good one......even managed to up my weight a bit👌👌👌

[@malamaurer4043]

Good morning Jules!! I love these quick weight training sessions!! No excuses not to find 10 minutes for weight training!! Have a fabulous day and week ahead 🌈💖🌈

[@ImprovedHealth]

It’s my hope that the short strength workouts will get more people to focus on some strength training.

[@malamaurer4043]

@@ImprovedHealth for sure!! Quick workouts are very do able 😊

[@brunymoravcik4166]

Thank you so much for posting! It's so much easier to do short bursts at times - it is appreciated and I appreciate all the effort that you put into creating the workouts! Hugs!

[@ImprovedHealth]

Aw, thank you so much.

[@Gareth1978]

Can i use three sets of dumbbells so 7.5kg for biceps,5kg & 2.5kg for rest of muacle group? I can do 2 or 3 rounds please reply me thanks Gareth

[@ImprovedHealth]

Absolutely! I always recommend for people to use different sized weights according to what challenges the muscle being worked. Also, yes, the more sets you do, the more growth and changes you'll see. I typically do 4 sets for each exercise I do.

[@georginalongley8256]

Brilliant thank you so much.❤

[@missg781]

Thank you, this is wonderful! Restarting strength training after a few months' break. Will keep going back to this one 😊

[@ImprovedHealth]

So glad to read that you're starting up strength training again. I have several short ones that are easy to fit into any schedule.

[@jankovarik9714]

Good one! OK---I think I'm actually about ready to invest in a set of heavier weights. I've been doing the exercise programs that use weights, and am feeling more strength in my upper body. So...time to ratchet it up a tad!

[@ImprovedHealth]

Woohoo! I love reading that!

[@dianeb2022]

It's my weights day. Good, I thought, I can do this short 10 minute one. "Oooh, look - there's a 51 minute one, let's do that one instead" 😂

[@ImprovedHealth]

Lol, love your comment, Diane.

[@allysonewart6643]

Looooooooooooove looooooove it. Wow pow that packed a punch. I did it after a cardio interval one and it just goes so well... Fabbbbb fabbbbb idea a 10 minute❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

[@ImprovedHealth]

Oh yay! Thanks so much for your feedback, Allyson. I always value your feedback since you do most of my workouts.

[@joannemorris4451]

I would have liked for you to talk, then I wouldn't have to keep looking at the computer. I was able to do most of them (I don't bend at the waist very well). Great 10 minute workout!

[@ImprovedHealth]

Thanks for your feedback, Joanne. I usually prefer talking in the strength workouts, but I know a lot of people prefer no-talking videos. It's always tough for me to decide which way to go.

[@valeriezick4459]

Jules, this was a "just right" weight workout for me today so that I could experiment with how heavy I wanted my weights to be at this point. I was able to use 5 lb weights on everything but the lateral lifts which I switched to 3 lb weights. It felt so good to be able to do this again. Thanks!

[@ImprovedHealth]

So glad that you gave this one a try and great idea to stick with lighter weights with getting back into it. A lot of people need to use light weights for shoulders due to various shoulder injuries. I would suggest sticking with 3 lbs for shoulders, Valerie. There is no need to go heavier with having had some issues with your shoulders lately. If your shoulders continue to feel good over the next 2-3 weeks with the 3 lb weights, then just increase the reps you do with the 3 lbs, instead of lifting heavier. Or, do 2 or 3 sets over time. I broke my collarbone over 15 years ago, and still have to lift lighter weights for shoulders due to the injury.

[@joannamicangelo8062]

Did it twice through. Sweating to the max! Thanks, Jules.

[@ImprovedHealth]

It's amazing how strength workouts can give us a good sweaty workout (especially when legs are included).

[@dos1965]

Thank you so much for doing these sessions. I am starting right at the bottom again in regards to energy and strength. I also have osteoarthritis in both my knees and my left knee at the moment is very swollen full of fluid and i have an oedema so I have to be careful with what I do but I can definitely manage this and it makes me feel that at least I am doing something instead of just sitting around all day. I look forward to progressing in the weeks to come. Thank you.

[@ImprovedHealth]

A massive congrats to you for doing what you can. Every little bit definitely helps!

[@farhiyakalile7327]

The timing of this video is perfect! I just finished the 5 week series you put together a year ago and this is something I can continue to add in to keep up the work. Thanks so much! :)

[@ImprovedHealth]

I also have other strength calendars on my website which follow the 5 week program…lots of options.😏

How many pounds are those dumbbells used in these video, thank you 😊

[@ImprovedHealth]

I usually write it in the video, but I think I used 5 and 10. I'll attach a blog post for you so you know what weight would be best for you: www.improvedhealthforseniors.com/post/how-to-build-strength-and-continue-to-build-strength-as-a-senior-or-beginner

Cant wait try this. You really are psychic arent you. Ideal for add on after an all in one with weights. Perfect. Im sitt smiling at how great this looks. ❤❤❤❤

[@ImprovedHealth]

Ah, yes, this will work well for after an all-in-one as well. It’ll give that little bit extra for strength.

[@ruthstaudt1119]

How heavy are the weights?

[@ImprovedHealth]

I can't remember now but I usually use 20 lbs for back and 12-15 lbs for biceps. What matters is that you use the weights that feel right for you and weights that challenge you, while also allowing you to have good form (no swinging). I have a blog post on my website where I talk about using the right amount of weight if you'd like to learn more. I'll add my website (www.improvedhealthforseniors.com). If you're not a senior, not to worry. The same rules apply for strength training:)

Listening to your soundtrack was like a mini-reunion with old friends . . . from when I first found you. Missed the heels up until halfway through the first set of squats but will remember for next time and love that you made it a doubly empowering move. Agree that the ten minute session is a no excuse workout, and appreciate that you wrote out how frequently it can be done. Thank you.

I thought it was time to bring back some of the songs I used in the past. I’m glad that you enjoyed them again:)
