Exercises to Improve Bone Density and Strength | Cardio meets PLYOMETRICS WORKOUT for Beginners

[@barbarastepp7077]

Yay! I finally got to your video on the first day of release!!:) I was hesitant about it saying plyometrics, but knowing that your content is always fabulous, decided I would try this one. It did not disappoint! Loved, loved, loved the 3 options for the plyos, and for anyone else reading this, it IS okay to do them at different levels each time or even change levels within the 30 seconds. I've used Improved Health videos to work my way back from covid last fall. They have been great to be able to pace myself, and progress at MY rate. As always, thanks for another great workout option!

[@ImprovedHealth]

Thanks so much, Barbara.❤

[@lindakreitzer2015]

This is a new word for my vocabulary! Nice change but the hopping is too hard on my knees and hips. Good for you to show options.

[@ImprovedHealth]

I recognize this one can be more challenging for those with knee issues. I tried my best to make level 1 manageable but I realize it won't suit everyone. I'm glad you enjoy my other workouts, though.😉

[@ImprovedHealth]

I love that motto.@@osakarose5612

[@eileenheinkel2374]

Excellent workout. Love the variety of levels. As someone who has exercised for years but am over 60 I shouldn't be doing those traditional exercises for 20 somethings. But senior exercises are WAY to easy! I found I could do Level 3 of each of these, still feel good, but definitely a challenge. Please produce more of this style.

[@ImprovedHealth]

Oh, excellent to read that you could do the level 3 options, Eileen! I'm very glad to read that you enjoyed the workout.

[@myrnaminns2799]

Very well said! That’s exactly my situation. What a great way to boost energy for the day..

[@lisan9953]

Great! Loved all of it 🤩

[@ImprovedHealth]

Thank you!

[@claudiaromano8374]

Loved this plyometric exercises, first time doing them and I felt comfortable doing them. Thank you so much my doctor recommended me to increase de mass of my bones and muscles. I appreciate a lot your support.❤❤❤

[@jolys3300]

Thank you so much for your videos. I am recovering from an extreme Ankylosing Spondylitis flare that lasted a year. So happy to be able to move with less pain and the videos have helped me gain strength and balance! 😉🙃🙂😊

[@ImprovedHealth]

Thank you for letting me know that my videos are helping!

[@bunsoyfelio6093]

Another excellent workout from you, Jules! You really are a godsend! Thanks for keeping golden girls and cancer survivors like me fit, toned and healthy!!!❤❤❤

[@ImprovedHealth]

Thank you for your lovely comment.🥰

[@chrys7174]

I am here to admit that I use to follow your exercise channel faithfully but got very discouraged and stopped. I have now restarted not only your channel but I also walk outside. (I am lucky to live in an area that is not only safe to do so but lots of hilss so very challenging!) I alternate between the two. I liked this one because at 66 it's challenging without making me fall down on the floor gasping for breath Thank you!

[@chrys7174]

Also. Have you thought about t-shirts with your channel logo on them? I would buy one and it would be good advertising

[@ImprovedHealth]

Welcome back! It's great to read that you're doing a combo of these workouts and outdoor walks (nature therapy and sunshine is important, too!). Thanks for letting me know that you decided to come back again.

[@ImprovedHealth]

@@chrys7174 I've had several people ask me the same question. I just feel like it'll cost too much to get good quality shirts that people will want to pay for (plus shipping).

[@cathyweiss7109]

Appreciated how brief yet effective this was!

[@ImprovedHealth]

Thanks for your feedback, Cathy!

[@chrisperkins6403]

True confession: had to look up PLYOMETRICS. Pleased I did so after doing the workout as I'm on a low impact admonition and might not have tried this. Of course, you being you (best coach everrrr!) offered modifications so I didn't have to break any rules! This was fun and I already shared with friends working to improve bone density. Thank you as always.

[@ImprovedHealth]

Always making me smile, Chris.

[@valeriezick4459]

Whew! This one really made me sweat but I really liked the plyometrics! I had to modify a lot of the arm movements due to a sore shoulder, but even so this was a great workout! Thank you Jules!

[@ImprovedHealth]

Glad to read that you enjoyed the change-up. Wishing your shoulder a quick recovery!

[@nancyriley3929]

Love this workout. I feel great. Thank you Jule! You rock😊

[@ImprovedHealth]

Thanks Nancy.💖

[@teridobson5027]

Whew! This is more of a challenge than I thought it was going to be at the start but I'm going to add it to my weekly rotation list... Thanks, Jules!

[@ImprovedHealth]

Glad to read that it's making it into your weekly rotation:)

[@imnotgonnasay3612]

I love how your outfits coordinate with your background! Just wanted to share some positive changes since working out with you consistently: 1. I’m no longer winded when I go upstairs. 2. I can balance on each leg with one arm up. 3. My jeans are loose. 4. I’ve lost 5 lbs.! Thank you so much for making videos we love and are easy to follow! 😅

[@ImprovedHealth]

Oh, awesome progress! Thanks SO much for sharing it with me.

[@rosemariekimball5787]

Another happy Monday! Thank you Jules.

[@ellengreen4952]

I had stopped exercising, the time escaped me and the excuses go real. I so started to just feel stiff and uncomforatable and my back was hurting. I need to commit to 5 days a week and I am starting to feel better after just a week and a half. You inspire me to make myself to feel better!!!

[@ImprovedHealth]

Life can definitely get busy but I am so glad that you’re prioritizing exercise again. It’s amazing how quickly we can feel better when we stay consistent with healthy movement. Just think of how good you’ll feel as the weeks and months go on with regular exercise!❤️

[@staceydroogas928]

I have completed this playlists exercises 1 through 6 but couldn't comment not realizing that I wasn't able to access the comment list because my settings were enlarged. NOW I figured it out. To let you know that I'll be chipping away at commenting on those I've already done and that this series is terrific. It offers so many new and challenging moves in interesting order. This particular one (#7) was brilliant by offering 3 difficulty levels. Thank you, Jules. My stamina and bolder moves have improved simply by doing the first 7 of the under 20 minute series...Anastasia

[@ImprovedHealth]

Awesome feedback, Anastasia. Thank you!!!

[@sandmorf]

I had been having trouble getting my heart rate up. The plyometrics did it! Thank you!

[@belindaleegmeiner4437]

That was amazing 🎉 thank you

[@42kellys]

4, 2 2024 Hi Jules, KZbin threw this up and I watched it and decided I shall give it a try and I did. I nearly forgot to and started the usual set of exercises when I suddenly remembered. I enjoyed it. Today, it seems was a day for a change. Thank you. I incorporated the torso circles into my routine by putting them just before stretching, this way I do not forget them. Good night. I dunno if I sleep better, doing my workouts at night but that's when I somehow get to do them. Just before bed.

[@ImprovedHealth]

Congrats for trying a new one!!!

[@suel4269]

Love it! I need bone strengthening.

[@надеждакороткова-ъ3п]

Jules, amazing! Your workouts are very interesting! This morning (I'm in Europe) I ran for 1.5 minutes in the all-in-one complex, and now I jumped. And now I know what plyometrics is. God, I'm so glad I found your channel! Thank you so much, Jules!

Another great one! I have mild osteopenia so have been doing some jumping and stomping already. This was good to get more cardio with the weight bearing. I was able to do level 3 without much difficulty thanks to following you for greater than a year🙌🏻👍🏻👏🏻

[@ImprovedHealth]

Oh yay! I'm so glad to read that you're challenging the bones and muscles to make them stronger.

Good morning Jules. Thank you for your time to make this video for us. I most of these moves at Level 1 because I am easing back into exercising after some unexpected extensive oral surgery. It was a nice way to get the HR up but not too high.

[@ImprovedHealth]

Glad to read that you're able to exercise again and recovering from the surgery. Dental surgery is never fun to go through, but at least it's over now:)

[@joansmith1195]
