love this. just perfect for me this rainy afternoon. First time doing a workout this long but totally enjoyed it. been following you since August last year, and with a healthy diet and your workouts I've manage to lose 2 and half stone, I'm so happy. thank you for your amazing videos don't know what I would have done without you ❤🥰

That’s impressive, 2 and a half stone. Bravo!
I was gone from here for about 3 weeks with a stomach flu and ended up in ER because doc said I was low on potassium from dehydration so that's why it's important to stay hydrated even when you don't feel thirsty. I kept working out a little anyway and I just finished this workout and it was great. Glad to be back! Thanks for keeping me motivated!

Oh wow! I'm glad to read that you're better now and also understand the importance of staying hydrated (especially when doing these workouts). I find it's best to keep a reusable water bottle beside me in the day to ensure I drink enough. It's so easy to forget to drink enough if the water isn't beside us. By having the bottle, it also allows you to see how much (or how little) you're drinking.

I just wanted to say thank you for creating this 40 minute video. I used to do the 10,000 steps one and stop it at 40 - 45 mins because that's all the timeI have before work in the mornings, and I also struggle to go on longer than that. This video is the perfect length and has similar music to the 10,000 steps one. Really grateful for this.

I wanted to quit but I didn’t. I slowed down a bit the second half and was able to complete the whole workout.

I wouldn’t feel this good without you!😊💛

Oh, AMAZING!!! I love that you started with the plan for 10 min, yet finished it! I often suggest to people to promise yourself to do 10 minutes, because it's enough to get energized...and then people usually do more.
Started following you some time late last Spring. It was tough when it got so hot and humid during the summer. I started this year telling myself no excuses! Enjoy the different lengths of your videos, as sometimes I have time to do more and sometimes less. Thank you for your positive words of encouragement.😊❤️👍🏻

I'm so glad to read that you're committed to taking care of your health, and not allowing excuses. When I see a lot of frail seniors, I always wish they would have worked out and not given excuses, either. Getting older doesn't mean getting weak. We can absolutely be strong as we age if we just keep at it.
Oh Jules! This is pure gold, could have been tailor-made for me! It is the perfect length for a rest-from-strength-training day, and so uplifting and fun! I thought it would be a good day when I saw the new video, and it just got better and better! I know we bring the commitment, but you give us the motivation, encouragement and fantastic workouts. Thank you so much 😊

5,000 felt like 500! You are the deejay of walking the way you mix up the moves and add just the right music. The one legged double side kicks were great as were the jumping jack double front kicks. Also always appreciate the written motivation and water breaks. Starting off this beautiful new week feeling "in the pink" (just like your colors in today's workout). 💖

Love it! For the better part of a month, I got out of my routine of exercising to your videos. It's easy to come up with excuses, and then one day leads to another. I did not think I would make it through the entire video since it is longer, but I did. I barely looked at the count down clock, because the routine and your motivational sayings (which always speak to me) kept me so engaged. You are inspirational! I'm so glad I came upon your videos last year when I was looking for a 1980's music workout. You truly have something for everyone. Thank you, Jules for making such a difference in the world! ❤ See you tomorrow!

Excellent workout Jules! I’ve been doing your 20 minute, 140 bpm workout X 2 every morning 6 days a week (Sundays off). I wanted to change things up every third one but thought this might not be intense enough (I approximate this one to be about 128 bpm) but I was wrong! My sweatometer (back of neck) told me it worked just fine (running in spot for 30 seconds straight instead of 5/5 helped). Thanks Jules, your work is appreciated!😅
