Break Your Weight-Loss Plateau With This Walking Workout

[@DianeHughes]

Good morning from Tallahassee, FL. I wrote a few weeks ago when I had lost 70 lbs. This is my most replayed video. I love the pace and the music isn't too intrusive. I have now lost 80 lbs. I started on March 8, 2024 at 206. The videos from Improved Health are the best. I'm a 73 yo female so the pace is good for me. BUT, while losing fat, I've gained muscle--all thanks to Improved Health. Keep up the good work!

[@ImprovedHealth]

WOW!!! Diane, you are on a mission! I can't even imagine how good you must be feeling with what you've accomplished. That puts you at 126 lbs which depending on your height sounds like a healthy weight. A massive congratulations to you for working so hard to get to where you are today. You are definitely a very determined person.

[@Maureenmac226]

Hi Jules! I've been MIA for a year. I had a left total knee replacement. Just when I was getting up to par, I had surgery for cancer on my right lower leg! no leg exercising for 5 months! well at 72 you fall back to a beginner. So, I tried this video, and I loved it! Thanks for all you do!

[@ImprovedHealth]

Oh wow, Maureen. I'm so glad to read that you're able to exercise again (and have recovered!). This is an intermediate level workout so you are doing VERY well if you managed this one! You'll have lots of videos to catch up on:) So glad you're healthy and well, Maureen.🫂

Congratulations on getting yourself back at it. 🙏👏👏👏I am going to be 72 next month and also have my own health challenges. Everyday I finish a workout I am filled with Gratitude I was able to make a comeback and get back to releasing those well needed feelings good endorphins. Keep healing and stay strong.

[@adellesheen3840]

Thank you so much…loved it.👏👏

[@chrisperkins6403]

Your brain picked up the wavelengths of mine after literally just reading an article about the effectiveness of intervals. The best part is that YOU made them easy by being the timer -- and adding the peppy, motivational music!

[@ImprovedHealth]

Intervals are definitely effective!

[@trishpaule2671]

@@ImprovedHealth I do have to agree. Your intervals are easy cause you are keeping time! All your videos are so inspiring, creative and very professional! And I think most of us love that there is no talking,just moving to the great music! Don’t get me wrong we love your voice 😀 Thank you for doing what you do to help us stay active and reach our goals!

I’m 28 yrs old and on a fitness/weight loss journey. I’ve been doing KZbin workouts for a while now but only recently discovered your channel. I absolutely love low impact, all standing workouts. You’re my new go to channel for workouts. Thank you!

Loved this workout especially the passed pace part 👏 thanks

[@KarenDGorman]

I just have to stop in and say a few things today. I’ve been stalled since March and adding this definitely has helped get the scale moving again! Pointing to the feet for change in action is extremely helpful! Your inspirational words throughout your workouts truly hit my heart. I often find myself emotional with how far I’ve come and what I can ask my body to do. I look forward to every workout. I used to be a very tight 3x and today I treated myself to a new workout outfit (shoes and bra included) all in a size small!! Thank you so much. I can’t tell you how happy I am to have found your channel!❤

[@ImprovedHealth]

You have absolutely made my evening, Karen! Thank you SO much for taking the time to let me know about your progress, and also what you enjoy about the workouts that I create. THANK YOU!!!🫂

Love your workouts! I have been a subscriber for a few years and work out to your videos 4-5 times per week. Would love to see more 30, 40 and 45 minutes walking workouts. Thank you!!

Thanks for the request:) I’ll get back to some longer ones soon. I was away on vacation and now have been struggling with a cold for the past week. I’ll have one out when I can.

I’ve done this workout several times, and I love it. Although I really watched my food today, I didn’t feel like I got in my normal steps. So, of course, I turned to Jules. I also shared your channel with my dr yesterday. She was quite impressed, and is going to share with her patients🙌. I’ve been working out with you since November 2023. I’ve lost 52 pounds, gone down 4 pant sizes and 3 top/dress sizes and my A1C was 5.9! Thank you, thank you, thank you! I hope you had a relaxing and family-filled Christmas.

[@ImprovedHealth]

It is amazing how far you have come in the past year. You have truly changed your future and I am incredibly happy for you! Thank you SO much for sharing your progress with me, and a massive THANK YOU for sharing my channel with your doctor. Kudos to you for working hard to get to where you are today, Deborah! 2024 has been a good year for you! Wishing you continued success in 2025.

It's definitely hard to slow ourselves down when we are used to going full blast...but, there are times when our bodies need time to recover in order to get back to working out hard again. I'm glad you're listening to your body and slowing it down a bit (although this video isn't exactly slowing it down!). Goes to show your amazing fitness level!

[@lisaferschweiler4474]

Good morning Jules! I love your workouts! I have been working out ( treatment plan), with you for almost two years! I am almost 61 with a diagnosis of panic anxiety disorder..ie: a mental illness. I love how you sometimes address mental health in your workouts.. like raising your endorphins with a 10 minute exercise etc. Means the world to me. Exercise is SO beneficial for anxiety and depression and can lift you out of that. I really enjoy your workouts and thank you for your grace, friendliness and warmth in each workout.:) Also.. after working out with you.. my labs were better and my prediabeties went down below the cut off point to where I’m not prediabetic at the moment. Also.. may I ask..are you Canadian? The “ about” and other words you say has that distinctive Canadian accent. I lived in Canada for 7 years in my younger days. Hugs to you!! Xo

[@ImprovedHealth]

Thanks so much for your great feedback, Lisa. I'm glad that you noticed I focus on mental health in some of the videos because I am a firm believer in exercise helping us just as much mentally as it does physically. I have worked with a lot of people in my regular job (my day job) who suffer with severe anxiety and depression, so yes, I definitely like to focus on more than just the exercise:) I am from Canada...glad to read that you got a chance to live here for 7 years. Hopefully it was somewhere close to the US border or out west where the temperatures are milder.😉Then again, there are so many beautiful places in Canada to live despite the cold winters!

[@caroldavey4129]

Good evening, Jules. Another great workout. I had to walk on the last 5 fast ones. I will try to do this one again in the morning🌄. Thanks again ❤❤😊😊😊

Walking is totally okay! All that matters is picking up the pace when you can (and that might mean walking fast instead of jogging). Over the weeks, you'll notice you'll be able to do more.

If I hunderstan what he was telling . Its the same thing with all those workout I do with you? Maybe I'm not only loos but the muscular mass il also to condider. 😊 sorry for my english. Ouf! Anyway when I here that I decided to not go on my balance for few weeks and just continu like I do and be proud on myself and love and be confidence of my boddy . Just be constance. Thank you for your explication. 🙃

[@ImprovedHealth]

Hi Carole, muscle does weigh more than fat but it takes A LOT of strength training to gain weight. I lift heavy in my own workouts and my weight has hardly shifted on the scale. Strength training is incredibly important as we age since it speeds up our metabolism, helps with balance and keeps our bones and muscles strong. Focusing on how you feel and seeing all the other benefits like lower blood pressure, lower blood sugars, etc., is far better than what a scale shows:)

[@carolevigeant4740]

Yess many benefits that I see and feel so good now. And as you said in your videos we are proud, we see all changes every week and I need to be active every day that is new in my life and it was a goal to be active at 60 years old. Here I am at 62 active and in good shape. Thank you jules.

[@mosheofer]

Jules you are s-o-o good. I'm sorry that I "found" you so late in my PD exercising, like most of the good things in my life. For almost 50 years my wife was a "computer's widow". So only after being diagnosed with PD I started exercising mostly with physiotherapist and the web sites for parkinsonians. Noone does a decent walking exercises. At 90 degrees weather and the big city I cannot walk at decent speed outside. As to today's session I'm somewhate proud of myself. I did all the walking part without reducing the speed of playback. I rate my performance about C+. The cooldown I was not as good. I have a major balance problem which in spite of my efforts still unresolved. Also, my body flexibility is the same as of an old oak-tree. Jules, I remain your loyal student

[@ImprovedHealth]

Thanks so much for letting me know about your fitness journey. I'm so glad to read that you're exercising regularly to combat the effects of Parkinson's. Exercise definitely helps! In case you haven't seen it, I had a guest on my other channel create a specialized workout for Parkinson's. It is seated, but you can modify to do it standing. It might be a nice workout to mix in 1-2 times a week. youtube.com/@ImprovedHealthChairWorkouts
