Loved this stretch 🥰

[@kathleenlynch5003]

I did some of these prior to heading out for Christmas celebration. Had to omit some of the arm movements, but was able to do many of them.

[@ImprovedHealth]

Glad to see that you found time to get in some movement before the big day.

[@karincocker3394]

Huge thankyou from zambia!!

Jules as usual I will do it everyday as my morning stretch routine. You are the BEST. ❤

You are very kind. 🥰

Loved this workout. I haven’t done a stretching workout before quite like this one but is was awesome. Keep up the great work, Jules.

[@ImprovedHealth]

Thanks Ann! I love how you're trying out lots of the workouts.

[@Mila-uz3ph]

Hi Jules!Thank you🤩

[@chrisperkins6403]

Another one that snuck by me, found while searching for a post workout s-t-r-e-t-c-h session. You paint wonderful word pictures (e.g. "pulling a heavy chord"). Nice to end with your words of reassurance that will keep me returning.

[@ImprovedHealth]

Wow, you’ve been busy with finding new workouts!

[@anuradhab4481]

Hullo Jules, This is so effective, every move looks simple, yet is so required, especially after a stretch of inactivity. Motivating enough to start the morning with...😊 ( coming from someone who can't start without a cuppa' )...thank you so much! Hope you have a wonderful week ahead.

[@ImprovedHealth]

Thanks so much, Anuradha. Wishing you a great week as well. 😊

[@kathleenlynch5003]

I really liked these stretches. The back stretch felt very good, and I also liked the 3-part squats. Thanks for always coming up with something new and interesting, Jules!

[@staceydroogas928]

THIS one was challenging. I definitely woke up, but do need to rest right now!--especially my shoulders. Your moves are unique adding to my desire for variety. I am counting this routine as part of my daily exercises for today because I did put out loads. I do feel good right now, especially my upper back. Thanks Jules...Anastasia

[@staceydroogas928]

Wow, what a workout! This routine is better for me a bit into the early part of the day, or as a pick-me-up when I begin to flag later on in the day, for it is a great energizer. Challenging but doable routine. Thank you Jules!...Anastasia

[@ImprovedHealth]

Hi Anastasia! Thanks for letting me know that you enjoyed it.

[@1beachwalker]

Really enjoyed this. With my bad knees, I'm incorporating standing type exercises in with the seated ones. I'm happy to say I did the full ten minutes of it, had no problems or pain! Thank you for inspiring me and for helping us all with your awesome videos! 😁🤩🫶

[@ImprovedHealth]

I’m so glad to read that you’re able to do the standing ones without pain. The standing ones will help to build more strength in your legs to help your knees.

[@1beachwalker]

​@@ImprovedHealth Good to know....that's what I'm hoping! Thanks. 😊

I enjoy your workouts because you also care about us one thing , I don't like the lying down exercises get.For me only standing exercises now .

Great video! Doing this with my husband in the mornings.

[@bhupinderjitparmar9244]

Brilliant workout for breathing,stretching and toning the body. Did your kickboxing video and this one.Not only does breathing help to relax into the stretch, but it also helps to get most out of the stretching routine. I really appreciate you for understanding all these various aspects of workouts so that we can reap the most benefits out of these workouts. Thanks a lot and stay blessed Jules.

I wondered if you might wonder where I was:) You're always so thoughtful. I was going to write a post to say I wouldn't have a video. It was March break (week of school break for the kids). I took more time to spend with my kids last week and didn't have time to make a video for Monday. Next time I'll announce that a video won't be up. Thanks for thinking of me, Anuradha.🫂
