  • This interval training program is suitable for anyone who can currently walk for 30 minutes 4-6 times a week. If you are at that fitness level then you can start this program (suitable exercise for seniors, beginners, and people of all ages). Interval training is geared for burning calories and fat, building muscle, and getting past that plateau effect that so many people hit. Interval training uses brief bursts of high-intensity activity which provides the effects people are looking for...more results!
    Today's workout (day 1) is our first interval training day. We'll walk at a regular pace for 10 minutes then go as fast as we can for 1 minute. The speed you go for the 1 minute needs to be geared to YOUR fitness level. It might be a fast walk, a slow jog or a run. It doesn't matter what you do as long as you are working out as hard as YOU can for the 1 minute. If you're just starting out, then just walk faster than your usual pace. I apologize for repeating this but you really need to cater the intervals to YOUR fitness level. If you are used to jogging, then during the 1 minute, go as fast as you can. After our first 1 minute fast walk/jog, we are going to go slower for 2 minutes. We'll complete 5 rounds of the 1 minute fast walk/2 minute regular walk and then finish with a 5 minute cool-down.
    The breakdown of each day:
    Day 1: 30 minute interval workout • Walk the WEIGHT OFF! |...
    Day 2: 20 minute walk • At Home Exercise Progr...
    Day 3: 30 minute interval workout • WEIGHT LOSS WORKOUT | ...
    Day 4: Rest day or a gentle walk (there is no video)
    Day 5: 40 minute walking workout • LOW IMPACT WALKING WOR...
    Day 6: 20 minute walking workout • 20 Minute LOW IMPACT W...
    Day 7: 20 minute walking workout • LOW IMPACT HOME WORKOU...
    Ideally, you'll continue this workout for 4 weeks. When I did this workout 20 some odd years ago, I shed weight really quickly. I had about 20 pounds to lose and I lost it. Interval training is super effective if done properly. As with anything, your body will start to get used to the workout so I'll create a new program for weeks 5-8. It'll just be a bit more challenging which is what your body will need at that point. Please email me if you have any questions about the workouts. Always listen to your body and take an extra day off at any point if you really feel you need it. The last thing you want is injuries so definitely listen to your body and go at the pace that suits your body and your fitness level.
    If you enjoyed the workout, please subscribe and write a comment! I'd love to hear from you!
    Wishing you improved health!

    If you can, stick with this program for 4-6 weeks before moving on to the next stage of the program. Give your body time to adjust in order to get the best benefits (and to prevent injuries). Go at YOUR own pace and work within your limits and abilities. I look forward to hearing from you as you see progress and results!

    Your videos popping up in my Q are a blessing! I lost both my dogs within the last 3 months and walking them was my main source of exercise. I just cannot bring myself to go for a walk without them now. Decreased exercise has not been helping my depression. This workout is my first since my second dog passed. Your pleasant demeanor, encouraging words on screen and the level of effort required were absolutely perfect for me today. Did I cry through some of it…absolutely…but I did not stop. I will be seeing you daily from now on. I have a daughter in college and I need to stay healthy for her. Thank you from the bottom of my heart. Know you have helped me and I am sure many many more out there. Peace. 💚

      Hi, I am so sorry to hear about losing both of your faithful companions in such a short span of time. I can understand how difficult it must be going for out for walks now. Eventually, you will be able to again. Until then, I am so happy to hear you enjoyed this workout and that you plan to continue to exercise. I work with people with depression and I am so happy to read that you understand exercise is crucial for improving your mood. I also love how you are thinking of your daughter when you think of your own health. You're right...she needs you to stay healthy and to be here for her, too. I hope my workouts continue to give you the motivation to continue exercising every day to help you heal until you can return to walking outdoors.

Not to mention strengthening my lungs. Thanks Jules for being such an inspiration.

I’m 70 and thoroughly enjoying trying them all! This series I’m hoping will help me to lose a little weight (as long as I don’t treat myself to something sweet and gooey as a reward!).

Kudos to you for taking such good care of yourself at 70! As for the sweet stuff, I hear you...that is a challenge for most of us. I've tried to train my brain to think the sweet stuff isn't a reward...because in reality, it's actually quite the opposite (does more harm to our body than good). It works sometimes...but other times I still want the sweet stuff!

    This was a great workout, and a wonderful program you are offering. Some years ago at the age of 52 I ran a marathon by following a training program; the most I had run prior to that was 10K. What I like about programs like yours (and my marathon training program) is the incorporation of easy days and rest days. That gives me permission to take it easy instead of feeling guilty about it, and it's necessary for the body to recover and recuperate. So THANK YOU for your generosity in creating and posting these videos! It is just what I need, coming out of the pandemic restrictions.

    I find these workouts similar to what I did at Curves eons ago, work hard, cool down, repeat. I really like the countdown on the left. Knowing there is only a second or two left lets me encourage myself to do just one more, just one more. The total time on the right shows me that I'm almost done. I can do it! The way you point to what muscles should be working and turning to show more of what it looks like is great. Most of all I really appreciate that at times your face is flushed like mine!

    I'm so glad I came across your videos! I was born with a collagen disorder that affects all my joints, and had to have a bunch of surgery as a child to just be able to walk normally. As I approached my 60s, the weight started piling on and workouts became almost impossible. A month before I turned 61 I was diagnosed with sleep apnea, was now clinically obese, and got out of breath with minimal exertion. All that was the wake up call I needed! I started water aerobics first, 2x a week, but that wasn't enough. I was looking for more things I could do from home. Your videos are just what I need! I've noticed a big difference already, and that's with only doing them a couple times a week, for a month or so. I just finished this workout, and even though I can't lift my knees as high as you, I did it!! The weight is slowly coming off, and I feel so much better!! Thanks again, I've sorted through workout videos from many sources here on CZcams, and yours are by far the best. And fun too!

    I just finished 4 weeks of Level 1 today. Whoo Hooo!! Moving on to Level 2 tomorrow. At first I didn't see results in my shape other than feeling better in general. Probably because I have a way to go on this journey, BUT this past week I did start to notice a change in my physical appearance. Can't wait to see what happens at the end of these next 4 weeks & the 4 weeks at Level 3! Thanks so much for inspiring me to do this by selecting exercises that work for Seniors or people with physical ailments. 🤩💪🏃‍♀️

      I'm so glad to read that you're persevering and giving the program more time. Changes are usually gradual, but they'll keep happening. It takes time for our bodies to catch up to what we're doing with workouts.😉When you're done with these series, I'm going to suggest adding strength programs in 2-3 times a week, which will have you seeing even more changes. Actually, if you have time and feel up to it, you could add on the 10 minute strength program I created recently and do it every 2nd day while you're doing these series.

During Weeks 3 & 4 of Level 1, I added 2.5 lbs hand weights for the extra challenge & had intended to not use weights for Weeks 1 & 2 of Level 2 until I adjust to the more advanced Level. However, I will add this workout in instead then determine if I want to add the weights back in for Weeks 3 & 4. I'm just about to start the 1st workout of Level 2.

      I'm so glad you enjoyed this one. I actually created 4 series of interval training workouts (what seems like ages ago). For each series, day 1 & 3 are interval training days. If you look under the intermediate playlists, you'll find each series there (plus another playlist that has all 4 series together). Each series gets a little bit more challenging but you've started with the first one so that's perfect:)

    I did it and kept exactly to your steps for the fast sections. And I am proud! I don't know how much weight I lost but I certainly lost sweat. Sometimes I was concentrating on your feet movements and my arms did not always synchronise. The overall pattern is excellent and I am determined to stick with it as you suggest. Because of Thailand temperatures, I needed the fan! (I started with Mama Mia a long time ago and followed several of your programs before hitting the jackpot!)

    Hi there, I have done this 1st series for 6 weeks and wow what a difference it has made. I have lost 2 inches off my waist and with dieting as well as these exercises I am now 2 stone down. I love your workouts as I feel you are in the room with me, encouraging me along. I noticed you have done a resistance band video (standing not seated) and wondered if you plan to do more as I don't have weights and want to strengthen my upper body. Thank you so much you are amazing.

    • @ImprovedHealth
      @ImprovedHealth  Před 2 lety

      Wow! Congratulations on your dedication to exercise and healthy eating and your accomplishment of losing 2 stone! That's amazing! I am so glad you have enjoyed this series. Since you have done it for 6 weeks, you can move onto the next series now if you feel ready. The change will be good for you at this point, too. I don't currently have a plan to do another resistance band workout but you could incorporate that workout into your current routine. You can skip the intro and just do that no-talking version which wouldn't add too much extra time onto your other routines. Another no-weight suggestion would be to add in push-ups (either regular push-ups or adapted on your knees) and add in squats. The push-ups challenge your entire upper body and squats are great for an overall leg workout. You could add those two exercises onto the end of your workout every 2nd day and you will see a lot of change over time. Just start easy...don't do too much because you will be too sore! I hope that helps.

    Yesterday I walked with a German Conversation friend (as we do on a weekly basis); I have another group that I walk with but not as regularly or as far - still its always more than an hour. Yesterday we did 5+ miles up and down almost 300 meters. Hard work, but the beauty is worth it; AND easier than when I began these workouts. Thank you for these videos. I keep wanting to jump ahead; I hold myself to build that basic strength and endurance.
