To see more classes offered on this channel, click on the logo beside 'Improved Health for Seniors'. Once you click on the logo you'll be directed to the main channel page. You'll see titles saying 'home', 'videos', 'playlists'. If you click on the 'playlists', you'll see videos put into different categories based on chair and standing exercise levels. Also, if you go to 'videos', you'll see every video I've created and uploaded. I'd like to ask you to PLEASE SUBSCRIBE by hitting the red 'subscribe' button and PLEASE hit the 'thumbs up' button if you liked the video. It doesn't cost a thing and it's completely private from other viewers (you'll never hear from me unless you comment under a video). If you click the bell beside the subscribe button, you'll get a notification any time I upload a new video. Hope this helps as I know a lot of viewers struggle to understand KZbin and how to see all of the videos offered. Lastly, for newbies on KZbin, you'll see a little down arrow just under the video on the right side. If you click the arrow, you'll be able to read the description explaining what the video is about. I would truly appreciate you subscribing and hitting that thumbs up button! Thanks in advance:) Jules

We have been doing your program in our village for mon. Great exercises. Thank you.

I would have been lost without these seated cardio and strength videos these past 6 months. Because of my many co-morbidities and being a young 74 I have had to self quarantine for the past 23 months and you have helped me to keep sane in all of this craziness. I only go out once a month for blood work because I am on a blood thinner(Coumadin)I have mostly virtual visits with 5 different doctors. Florida has been bad with this Delta and Omicron variants and no one wants to wear a mask. As a former Head Nurse in New York for 30 years I understand the science behind these restrictions and I have to protect myself as well as others when I am around people. I am just so thankful for your wisdom and understanding of the elderly and I am sure all your residents in the nursing homes just love you. Thank you; Jewels; for all you do for so many of us Seniors. God Bless You and your family.

Margaret, thank you so much for taking the time to write such a kind message. I truly hope Covid will be behind us all soon so you can get out more and enjoy life again. In the meantime, I am very happy these workouts help to keep you active. If you have any workout requests, please let me know as I am happy to create them for you. 💗

De nada, Ana:)

[@carolann5632]

Your workouts are perfect for me!

[@ImprovedHealth]

Thanks for sharing that with me.💖

[@Catlover-jl6jl]

Good morning I love these exercises. I can do them without hurting myself. Thank you so much 😊

[@ImprovedHealth]

I am so happy to hear the exercises work well for you! Thank you for letting me know.

[@staceydroogas928]

Jules, I'm the sort who pushes myself to work harder but your exercises and commentary nudge me even further. All single/one sided moves were executed simultaneously on both side. I've advance that much! Lateral and front arm raises are a challenge because of my shoulders--especially the right one, but I was able to do the entire routine both single and double sided with water bottles without resting in between. So, I feel so thoroughly exercised today. And I'm not only proud of myself, but thankful I came across you....Anastasia

[@ImprovedHealth]

So awesome to read about how you’re getting stronger! It always makes me happy when I know the videos make a difference.❤️

[@jackiehamilton2994]

day six Is the best!!!! aftwe 2 months of 6-7 days a week I will try intermediate level. I am so appreciative of being able to do this one-legged until after my foot surgery!

[@ImprovedHealth]

A massive congrats for being consistent with exercise! I hope you enjoy the next level:)

[@bridgetmcpherson8073]

I have had major surgery on my foot and your seated classes have been brilliant, thank you so much, it is so rare to see seated workouts! Bridget

[@ImprovedHealth]

Thanks so much for your comment, Bridget:). I wish you a quick recovery for your foot!

[@sharyndoyle3910]

Love it

[@ImprovedHealth]

Thank you!

[@ccappa2001]

Good day to you! Through a series of injuries, hormones & subsequent weight gain, it has been difficult for me to exercise to regain fitness and lose some weight. I wanted to do gentle exercising to work my way back to better fitness and health. Your series of chair workouts have been a game-changer for me! I'm working through your various playlists and feeling stronger as a result. Thank you for this and for your obvious care for seniors, homebound, and beginner level folks!! Your time and effort with these professional looking videos is greatly appreciated. Also, I really like the subdued, calm vibe of your videos! Thank you thank you!!!!

[@ImprovedHealth]

Thank you so much for taking the time to comment today. I am super happy to know that you are finding these helpful and I love how you are starting with gentle exercises to ensure safety while getting back into exercise. I definitely look forward to reading about your progress as time goes on:)

[@karendonnelly4052]

Your workouts are honestly the best! My mom, brother and I do your exercises each day, and look forward to them. Thank you for creating such great programs❤

[@ImprovedHealth]

You are so kind! Thank you for such an uplifting comment! Comments like yours truly inspire me. Thank you!!!

[@johnmooney1267]

I can't thank you enough for your seated chair exercises. You have made a HUGE difference in my life. I am much more likely to exercise because I know I can follow one of your videos. I have never before felt so encouraged to exercise. Thank you for the variety you provide and also explaining how to make the exercise adaptable to my fitness level. Your videos are the best I have ever seen. Thank you.

[@ImprovedHealth]

John, thank you SO much for taking the time to write your comment/feedback. I sat here and read it over a few times since it is so meaningful. I started this journey 3 years ago because I wanted to help seniors to become more active. Thank you for letting me know the videos do help. I am very grateful for your comment.💖

We loved the 7 day and will be doing them again!! We especially like the cardio/weights mix. We are also going to try your chair exercises with music…looking forward to that!! Thank you!!!

[@ImprovedHealth]

Just to help you navigate the channel, I create 3 levels of workouts (gentle, beginner and intermediate) in both seated and standing workouts, and categorize them all into the playlists. I also started a second channel dedicated to chair workouts and will add the link for you here: youtube.com/@ImprovedHealthChairWorkouts I upload all of the workouts from both channels to my website at www.improvedhealthforseniors.com I hope that helps!

[@MalaeaKuresa]

Thank you so much Julie's God bless you

[@annesneed]

Good Morning.....I continue to really love this class, you certainly focus on us seniors. I will look into some of the other classes that you offer, thank you again for an amazing class, looking forward to tomorrow.

[@ImprovedHealth]

I love that you are looking forward to tomorrow's workout:)

[@MEw650]

I had originally planned to do a standing workout today, but was up on my feet a lot beforehand, so I opted for this one, and I’m so glad I did! My left shoulder had been really hurting this morning, but after working with the weights, it felt so much better!! Wow!! I also especially liked the stretch where we did the arm over the head, and also stretched the leg out at the same time. Very effective!! Your explanations for why we were doing the strength exercises the way we were were so helpful. It’s always great to know the “whys.” Thanks, Jules, for this fabulous workout!!!

[@ImprovedHealth]

Thanks so much for the super helpful feedback, Mary. I'll have to review this video to remember what I did in it:) It's been a while since I created it. I'll be creating more chair workouts in a few weeks time.

[@JenniferRussell-cn8pb]

Have really enjoyed the 7 days looking forward to more do you have another program loved the different days

[@ImprovedHealth]

Thanks Jennifer! I don't have a lot of series since I work full-time outside of creating exercise videos on YT. You can find all of my seated workouts on my website and you might find them a little bit easier to go through there. I'll add the link for you: www.improvedhealthforseniors.com

[@marymargaretmoore9034]

Another great workout! Have bad knees and shoulders, but still manage to get alot out of it and go until the end.

[@ImprovedHealth]

Thanks for your comment, Mary. I'm glad this worked well for you:)

Just to help you navigate the channel, I create 3 levels of workouts (gentle, beginner and intermediate) in both seated and standing workouts, and categorize them all into the playlists. Just look for 'playlists' on the main page and scroll down to where you see the seated options.

[@Caking101]

This is a great work out I can share with my Mom! Tiana I can only be me Vlogs sent me Dear!!

[@ImprovedHealth]

Thanks so much. I appreciate the shares.

[@waynecase2705]

Hello...I enjoy your classes very much, especially the variety of exercises in each day. Suggestions.....what about extending each class by 5 minutes or so and then we would be up to almost an hour by the end of the week; seems like sometimes we are rushing through the cool down at the end, the stretching exercises...perhaps take a couple of more minutes for this section so that we get a good stretch at the end; perhaps a little more music with the exercises as a good beat helps with the pushing and pulling. Do you have an exercise video for back exercises on the mat? I will have to look and see if I can find one as that is an area where I need to work so that my back is stronger.Thanks again for your exercises as I find them very helpful. Wayne 71 yo male

[@ImprovedHealth]

Hi Wayne! Thanks so much for your suggestions. Sometimes I try to stick to 30 minutes and yes, it likely seems a bit rushed at at the end. I will definitely keep that in mind for future workouts. As for the back, I have core workouts on the mat but nothing specific for just the back. I appreciate your feedback. Thanks so much for taking the time to write it:)

[@whyme7400]

Wow-that wasn't easy. I can't believe I used to use 5 lbs. for my light weight and 8 to 10 for the heavy. I am afraid I have been babying myself. Toady it was 3 for heavy and 1 for light but I plan on getting up to 5 for heavy and 3 for light. Also, I now do all sit to stand since I realize it will help strengthen my knees. I already feel stronger. When I was trying them before watching your instruction I wasn't placing my legs far enough apart. Thanks for your expert help.

[@ImprovedHealth]

Great to hear you are able to do more sit to stands now and pushing yourself to use the weights. The knee osteoarthritis exercises are also great ones to strengthen legs...highly recommend for anyone. I love hearing about your progress! Soon you’ll be back to lifting the 5 lbs and up...doesn’t take long once your muscles get used to it.

[@joobrien11]

Excellent! Do you a combination of sitting and standing with chair exercises?

[@ImprovedHealth]

I do have some on my new channel and will add more when I can: youtube.com/@ImprovedHealthChairWorkouts

[@millylove6233]

I love ur videos alot pls download more please

[@ImprovedHealth]

Hi Milly, thank you! Let me know what you would like to see for future videos.

[@smitasandu731]

Can you share some more stretching exercises.

[@ImprovedHealth]

I have a whole playlist dedicated to seated stretches. If you go to my playlists, you'll find the 'stretching' playlist there.

[@carolebaker4023]

Hi Jules, Two questions. I often find the breathing counter intuitive to the way I am breathing with the exercises. What is the physiology and logic behind the breaths in and out? Also, can you send me your link and title for your standing senior exercises? Many Thanks, Carole

[@ImprovedHealth]

Hi Carole, the main thing with strength training and breathing is to breathe out as you lift the weight, and breathe as you lower the weight. I'll add a link here for a more detailed explanation: www.self.com/story/how-to-breathe-during-a-workout I categorize all of my workouts into playlists here on my channel, and also on my website at www.improvedhealthforseniors.com. I hope that helps.

[@LizBoyes-p4h]

Where can I find your more upto date chair exercises for 2023😊😊

[@ImprovedHealth]

I started a new chair channel a few months ago and now upload seated workouts to the new channel. I'll add the link for you here: www.youtube.com/@ImprovedHealthChairWorkouts

[@kaygorman4478]

please coach for squots knees to end of toes only. shoulder lifts weights to shoulder only. trainers count down not up.

[@marybrautigam2072]

I like to see the clock running out of time.

[@liskl5982]

Too many ads. Impossible to work out when you have to get to the computer and 'skip ad'!

[@ImprovedHealth]

I am going to go through each of these...they shouldn't have ads. I'll do it right now.
