Congrats for fitting it in!

Okay so now I'm liking the floor. Never thought I would say that. Thanks for giving me the motivation to "get down".

[@ImprovedHealth]

Woo hoo!!! You have just made my evening by saying that!

[@janesmith-stage4755]

So happy to have your knowledge, support and general niceness

[@ImprovedHealth]

Aw, thank you, Jane!!!

[@lucius10]

For me, these are great exercises. I really like the superman position. I will be repeating more often. Thank you very much Jules for the coaching.💛

Thank you for the feedback:)

Your recipe for this program is simply spot on, Jules. It's one I absolutely look forward to doing, and today's a Sunday which is usually my rest day -- but I wish to keep the continuity based on when I began. Positive feedback: I do feel stronger and it's such a good feeling! Different subject: cute outfit. 😍

[@ImprovedHealth]

I am SO glad to know that you are enjoying the program enough to want to do it on your usual day off! Yay! Thank you for sharing that with me (and thanks for the compliment on the outfit).💖

Jules, this was awesome. I enjoyed every minute. I have to admit that I do the exercises in the evening and then I call it a good day. See you tomorrow and thanks again.

[@ImprovedHealth]

Thanks Helga! It doesn't matter when you do cardio or strength training...the main thing is that you do it when it works for you and your schedule. Otherwise, it often doesn't get done.

Hi Jules I’m nearly at the end of your 5 week strength workout series and it’s really making a difference to me. Lifting my shopping out of the car boot has become no challenge at all. I’m in my early 60s with a bad back and dodgy knee but I’m now sure I can be a strong and fit old lady rather than a weak and feeble one. I shall be continuing with week 5 and may even need to invest in some heavier weights soon. I’m off on holiday in a few weeks and shall be taking my resistance band and your video with me to keep up my practise. When I’m home I plan to start your walk the weight off series so watch this space. Thank you so much for all your hard work ❤

[@ImprovedHealth]

I'm thrilled to read about the progress you're seeing, Lesley. With consistent strength training, results do happen quickly. I'm glad to read that you plan to get some heavier weights as well. After you finish this series, you can pick and choose sessions from the last two weeks, or you can do the 5 day program which I created to follow this program. I definitely look forward to reading about your progress, especially after including the interval series (walk the weight off).

[@francesoha2062]

First Cardio then this.Thank you!

Kudos to you for doing both!

Yayyyyyyy!

[@malamaurer4043]

Good morning Jules 🌄☕🌄 What a fantastic upper body workout and I absolutely LOVE the transitions from ground to standing. Tough workout on the arms but oh my goodness, the way you teach with your heart just comes right through the screen. Thank you so much for creating. Have a fantastic day ahead 🤗

[@ImprovedHealth]

Thanks so much for the feedback about the floor to standing exercises, Mala. Also, thank you for your super kind words. 🥰🥰🥰

My third time doing this workout and it's still challenging. Even so, I enjoyed doing it and also the challenge itself. Thanks (again) Jules for this series!

[@ImprovedHealth]

I'm so glad you're here doing the strength workouts, Valerie. Over time, these will definitely get easier.

[@sandragilfillan]

Really like this workout. Good to feel more strong and toned!

[@ImprovedHealth]

It definitely feels good to feel strong:) Totally agree!

[@katybrooke0724]

doubling up.. doing day 21 and 22 today. 🤗

[@valeriezick4459]

Hi Jules! I have some tired arms today! It was a challenge doing two sets of pushups but I love a challenge. So thank you, Jules

[@ImprovedHealth]

Since this week is a repeat week, I wanted to ensure I provided enough choices so people can choose to do 1 or 2 sets as the weeks go on. Congrats for doing two sets today, Valerie! Just do what feels right for you:)

[@lwatlinkline]

My arm muscles are humming after this workout. I did the 50 seconds of the plank. I'm adding the chest press and fly part. Thanks!

[@ImprovedHealth]

Congrats on adding extra exercises onto the workout! Kudos to you for the 50 sec plank.

[@cathymushock8412]

Day 22, OMG, hardest one yet, going to be working on this for awhile!

[@ImprovedHealth]

Lol, you've got this:)

[@andreadixon4987]

Thank you so much for this series- really enjoying it. Realised the press ups were getting easier and I managed a full one! Followed with your lovely stretch with the Vancouver view 😀

[@ImprovedHealth]

Congrats on the full one…they are tough! Glad to read that you enjoyed the stretching session, too:)

[@janesmith-stage4755]

Thank you so much! I was really tired today. I had not done my usual 45 minutes of walking. I’ll do some cardio and finish with one of your wonderful stretching routines.

[@ImprovedHealth]

We all have days when we need to take it slower, and that's okay:)

[@elaineboehnlein3819]

I can't believe that I was able to do the 2 sets of push ups 💪💪 How strong are you? TOO STRONG!! 😂😂 I'm so close to day 25! THANK YOU for another GREAT workout

Of course you did two sets...you are stronger than you think:)

[@ImprovedHealth]

Lol, thanks for sharing that with me.

[@kathleenlynch5003]

Hi Jules, I've been coming in and out of these workouts for various reasons. I was able to do this one today. One thing I remembered to help me with planks - you may have covered this in one of your other videos - I was able to hold for 50 seconds because I used dumbbells to hold onto. This prevents the pressure on my wrist and thumb, which makes it very difficult for me to do planks or push ups. It's best to use the type of dumbbell that is hexagonal or octagonal, so that it doesn't try to roll away! Thank you for creating such a nice strength training program.

[@ImprovedHealth]

Thanks so much for the tip, Kathleen! Glad to hear you are joining us when you can:)

[@kathleenlynch5003]

@@ImprovedHealth Some women also used yoga blocks, but I found it easier to get my grasp around the dumbbells.

[@valeriezick4459]

2nd time doing day 22 and it's still quite challenging! But I was able to hold the plank a few seconds longer so I feel like I am progressing! Thank you Jules for another great workout!

[@ImprovedHealth]

Progress sounds great, Valerie!

[@stacybates1901]

Loved the workout,I like when its a little more challenging,thanks,I did 12 of the chest press and the flyes

[@ImprovedHealth]

Thanks Stacy. I'm happy to hear you like a bit of a challenge:) It's always so hard for me to figure out how challenging to make each session. I just try to give options so viewers can decide which route to go.

[@susanwright2554]

Hi Jules! I really like doing the floor work first, and managed all the press-ups, but the plank was hard today! I am certainly improving though, so onward and upward! 😊

[@ImprovedHealth]

Awesome attitude, Susan! Thanks for letting me know that you are enjoying the change with floor work first on some of the days.

[@bhupinderjitparmar9244]

Thanks Jules for fantastic day 22. The superman was too much fun for my little grandson. Loved the double push-ups, back row ,pulsing and the plank. For me if the plank is not the last exercise to do then I can hold it for 50 seconds. I do the cardio first, I think that is why I get tired doing the plank at the end.Does it make any difference if back row is done bending more. Really loved all the exercises.Stay blessed❤

[@ImprovedHealth]

You can definitely bend over more for the back row if you'd like. I'm happy to read that you got time with your grandson and glad he gets to see a great role model:)

I agree doing plank and push up first is great. You were naughty with 2 sets push ups, but I'm going let you off as you as too good to us lol. I feel so much stronger doing plank now although I still tremble a bit..is that normal lol

[@ImprovedHealth]

Lol, two sets but you did it:) It is very normal to tremble with the plank. As you continue to get stronger, the trembling will be less.
