Hullo Jules, Your instructions are exceptional, clear, concise and so gentle. I benefitted from every stretch, and shall follow it up maybe, with a short strength w/o. It's such a pleasure to follow an intelligently put together session. Gratitude♥️

[@ImprovedHealth]

Thank you so much for your super kind feedback. 💖

[@user-ec6sx9wd2u]

I am so grateful for your videos! At first I was true blue to the first one I tried. Now I am branching out and really enjoying the variety. They are easy to stick with because your delivery is gentle and the movements are well explained. I am much more sure footed and stronger since starting just a couple of months ago. Thank you. You are making a huge difference in my life and sense of well being.

[@ImprovedHealth]

Oh, thank you SO much for taking the time to let me know your feedback. I'm so glad that you've been changing up the workouts and trying different ones. Variety for the body and mind is definitely a good thing:) In case you haven't seen my channel catered to chair workouts, I'll add the link for you here: youtube.com/@ImprovedHealthChairWorkouts

Thank You Jules. as usual gentle of effective. I did it twice and felt great I have energy to run a Marathon.❤

[@ImprovedHealth]

Wow, twice! That's great, Martha. I love your marathon comment:)

[@1beachwalker]

Perfect balance of gentle motions and the stretching. Just what I needed, after doing your wooden spoon exercise a few days ago. Wore myself out! With bad knees and a shoulder replacement, have to pace myself and be careful. But, I keep on going! Because, I don't want a frozen shoulder and it makes my knees stronger, right?! Your videos are always so helpful. Thanks again Jules. Have a good night. 💝

[@ImprovedHealth]

I'm glad this one worked for you...and yes, with bad knees and a shoulder replacement it is definitely wise to be careful with the exercises you choose. Listen to your body and only do what you feel works best for you.

[@emilyng6972]

A nice gentle workout! I particularly like your instructions of breathing and reminding of sitting straight. I enjoyed it! 🥰

Thanks for the feedback, Emily.

Hi there Jules! Your imaginative moves cover all the body areas beautifully. Of course this is another well designed and guided routine--a bit more than just stretches...it was truly a mini workout! This is my second stretch for the day. I plan on several more since it's Sunday since I only do stretches not exercises on this day. Thank you much...Anastasia

I love how you give so much attention to mobility and flexibility. Super important and often skipped by most people.
