Oh, I really loved this workout. The 15-second changes were great for keeping boredom at bay, plus, the constant change-ups surely help to prevent injury. I felt muscles I haven't felt in a long time, and it feels good! Plus, the variety of arm movements were good for my right arm, which I'm still babying. I could feel the muscles tiring, but NOT getting achy or sore. I was also careful not to do jerky or vigorous movements with that arm for now, keeping things gentle to go for strength WITH healing. A wonderful way to get my workout in before heading off for an afternoon of babysitting! [BTW walked 9,000+ steps yesterday!] Thanks for this great workout, Jules. I missed it on the first go-round.

17, 2 2024 Hi Jules, lack of sleep made me tired and sluggish today, so it was rather the need to have my exercise done than desire to do it. It was more the pride of accomplishment than the pleasure of exercising. But, I was disciplined and did it and I am glad, because I did very little today, I sat and slept even daytime to try to recover I ate and sat some more, so tonight I felt I owe myself to do this one at least. Have a good night!

As long as you are enjoying exercise, and staying active daily, it really doesn't matter what intensity you work out at. It's more about moving each day, and enjoying what your body can do for you. If you go too hard and hate it, then you won't continue. Continue doing what works and enjoy the movement:)

@@ImprovedHealth Hi Jules, I do. However, I keep hearing from all sorts of trainers and health experts that we have to make our body strong, the bones as well as our muscles so that they do not become fragile, work on our balance too, bot to fall when we are old. I cannot do weights and I do not want more strengthening exercises because I only enjoy these light ones. But then, as I am getting older how will I survive healthy? Not too well, I am afraid. I will not be strong and my bones will not be either. Enjoying my exercises and doing them quite conscienciously is one thing but from what I hear it is not enough of a good life at my senior age. This is what worries me. Love K

But after about nearly two years of exercising the last few times I noticed that I am better with following the moves let it be dance moves or other type of exercise moves. My rhythm is still not matching the music and the workout but I am much better than I was. And today I did a 20 minutes Latin dance workout with Sharona!

13, 11 2023 Oh, Jules! I just loved it and it was instant. I am going to save this too. It is perfect! I did not have to let down my arms because of fatigue! 15 seconds is just long enough to be okay, but not too tired. I only felt once that my arms got tired but because it was only 15 seconds I pulled through. It's wonderful! I loved the whole light workout! That's my new favourite! And you chose such an amazing background picture with the sea, sunset and a palm tree. At night I do not need vigorous exercises, but I need to feel that I moved all my body members and it was thorough and this one is. I did some standing ab exercises with Andi another online trainer in the morning, so I am glad today, although it was only a half successful day in other areas but doing my workouts it was the best. 12 minutes in the morning and this 15 in the evening.
