[@heangsuysiek265]

Great workout for me! Not too tough. Thanks so much, Jules!!! ❤❤❤❤❤

[@bevhildebrand7716]

So nice to find these gentle workouts especially if you have gotten out of your normal routine for any reason. Great way to ease back in. Thanks very much Jules❤

[@ImprovedHealth]

Thanks Bev!

[@staceydroogas928]

I've been doing your Under 20 minutes routines. This one was an excellent companion to your play list #8 strength routine. I made it my own, permitting myself to start slowly and ramping it up as I progressed. This was a lovely interlude of movement causing me to relished the seated stretches. It was so very nice hearing your voice and encouragement throughout. Thank you Jules! I feel wonderfully open and loose!...Anastasia

[@catherineraisen4988]

This was perfect for easing me back into exercise after an illness. It’s given me the confidence to do more. Next week I’ll be looking for 20min workouts 😊 I keep thinking, “it’s OK, Jules will fix me.” THANK YOU❤

[@ImprovedHealth]

Aw, thank you Catherine! I'm glad to read that you're feeling better.

These standing stretches are exactly what I need. Thank you very much, Charlie from Syracuse NY

[@ImprovedHealth]

It is SO great that you have been able to transition to the standing workouts. I am so excited about that!

[@cherylelinsmith743]

I was jogging in place when you did the marching. Thanks Jules, another good video. Will start doing more difficult videos.

[@ImprovedHealth]

That's great to read, Cheryl! Progress is a wonderful thing and that's due to consistency and hard work. Kudos to you!

Thanks for your feedback, Mary.

[@DaphneLang-q8i]

Love these workouts! It has been something I can stick to for the first time because they are a great workout for beginners and so doable with great results!

[@ImprovedHealth]

Thanks so much for your feedback, Daphne and a massive thank you for subscribing 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. If you enjoyed this one, you can find plenty more at this same level under the 'gentle level' playlists. I hope you enjoy more of the workouts when you try them out. I also have a second channel for seated workouts and will add the link in case you're interested in seated stretches: youtube.com/@ImprovedHealthChairWorkouts

Aww, thank you. I appreciate that.❤️

Searching through all your videos, to rotate in newbies for me, and to find gentler ones to share with a friend recuperating from shingles. This will be a nice welcome back when she's ready to resume. Thank you for all your variety.

[@ImprovedHealth]

You’ve chosen a good one for your friend returning to exercise:)

[@phyllisbonner8900]

I Another great series. I really like this one. I do two of them back to back.

[@ImprovedHealth]

That sounds like a great plan with doing two together if you can manage them. They would work well doing one after the other. I will create longer ones at some point.

[@AngelaSmith-s7m]

I'm recovering from long term illness and this was the perfect start to my aerobic exercise journey. Thank you

Thanks Jules for another fantastic workout video. You took me to my childhood with that skipping exercise. I was such an avid rope skipper. Used to do that for hours. These short videos are wonderful in their own ways. You can do so much with these. Add weight if you want to, use it on a sluggish day. These can work wonders for the sick and novice. If you are feeling more energetic add to one of other workouts of Jules. Really you are awesome. Stay blessed❤

[@ImprovedHealth]

I love hearing that the skipping exercise brought back memories. I bought my girls skipping ropes this past summer but they have yet to find the enjoyment skipping can bring. Hopefully they'll discover a love for it next summer:)

[@bhupinderjitparmar9244]

@@ImprovedHealth Hello Jules, hope you are having fantastic family time. I have six grandkids between the ages of two and half and 21 one years. My oldest granddaughter will be going to law college next year. They all are exercise freaks. The boys love soccer and the girls dancing, basketball and skipping the ropes. Before Covid they used to go for 5k or 10k runs. Your daughters must be very young. Hopefully they will love skipping one day. They must be very proud of their fitness guru mom.Wish you and the family a Very Happy Thanksgiving full of love and care. Stay blessed❤️

[@ImprovedHealth]

@@bhupinderjitparmar9244 It must be wonderful to have 6 grandkids...you sound very proud which is the way it should be:) Thanks so much for your well wishes for Thanksgiving. We celebrated yesterday so I am relaxing today.

Thanks so much, Jules. I had stopped working out during a vacation, and had trouble getting back into it. This series is helping ease me back in, and despite its gentle level, I feel my arms got a workout! Appreciate all your KZbin postings -- you are so generous sharing your time and talent!

[@ImprovedHealth]

It is definitely tough to get back into working out after a vacation. Congrats for motivating yourself to get back into it! And...it's definitely a great idea to start back slowly:)

Visiting my sister in West Virginia. This was an excellent workout to introduce her to your workouts. She has a bad knee so going at this speed was perfect for her. Thank you for these videos.

[@ImprovedHealth]

Wow! It's impressive that you worked out while away from home. Thanks so much for sharing my video with your sister:) 💖💖💖

[@santagriego7206]

@@ImprovedHealth I'm back home in Wisconsin. My sister called and said she is starting with day one of these workouts. I'm so excited for her. She is going through a hard time after losing her husband a year ago. These workouts are a way to have her start doing something for herself and at the same time we get to talk about how we are improving in our health issues. I am truly appreciative of how you have a variety of workouts for all levels of starting this journey of improving both our body and mind. ❤

@@santagriego7206 Thank you SO much for sharing this with me. I am thrilled for your sister (and for you to see your sister making a healthy start with exercise). I'm excited to hear about her progress over time.

[@anuradhab4481]

First up, your instructions were so calm, unhurried, clear and gentle in keeping with the workout itself ! This was all I could manage today, after a day's indisposition, shall probably keep with this 5-day routine for another week. Thank you so much, as always, for the brilliant mix of moves in each session... I hope you have a fabulous Thanksgiving with your family...💖

[@ImprovedHealth]

Thank you! I have family coming over today...starting to cook soon! Thanks for the feedback about the instructions. I am making an effort to slow down and remind viewers about breathing, etc.:)

Gentle exercises are not at all inferior if you do them exactly with the trainer's instructions. Gentle exercises are also an incentive for the sick and weak to exercise. Apart from exercise, I really like your cheering and philosophical slogans.💛

[@ImprovedHealth]

Thanks so much. My hope is that people who don’t exercise will see my videos and possibly give exercise a try. Thanks for the feedback about the quotes at the end.

1:48 Hi I just completed 2 weeks of this 5 day workout and enjoyed it along with a daily 20 minute walk outside. Not new to your channel but had to pare back a bit after an arthritis and fibromyalgia flare so this was great and much appreciated. Any tips for which workout or exercise would be especially suitable for facet joint arthropathy going forward?

[@ImprovedHealth]

Hi Theresa, after doing a little bit of research, I think my gentle workouts are definitely the way to go. I have other gentle workouts (both seated and some standing) on my other channel which I hope might be suitable. I'll add the link for you: youtube.com/@ImprovedHealthChairWorkouts
