[@DrDonnaLLB]

Hi 👋🏾 Jules! Welcome 🙏🏾 fellow Canuck ! Another awesome 😎 video!

[@hazelinewilson5825]

Thanks for these exercises, I'm in my 70s and is already on an exercise regime 3 days a week so adding yours will make it 4. I find I'm very flexible and it's because I've been doing it since my late 20s , with God's help I hope to live a long healthy satisfying life ❤🎉

[@DrDonnaLLB]

Hi 👋🏾 Jules and everyone 😊 This is an amazing 🤩 workout 🏋️‍♀️ that you can even do at home 🏡

[@ImprovedHealth]

Thanks Donna!

[@patsyriggs3915]

UK 81yrs: Resistance band class was excellent but returned to 7-day classes today. Good challenge for coordination thank you and wheelchair friendly. ❤

[@bethbechler499]

Thanks so much for all of your videos! They have been life-changing for me! I am 73 and with torn meniscus surgery, have not been able to do weight-bearing exercises. Your chair yoga classes are just perfect and I feel so much better! Thanks! ❤🎉❤

[@ImprovedHealth]

Thanks so much for taking the time to write your message, Beth. I appreciate it! In case I haven't shared my other seated channel with you, I'll add the link for you: youtube.com/@ImprovedHealthChairWorkouts

[@angelajuvonen7863]

Loved that the exercises change frequently so not too tiring ‼️

[@ImprovedHealth]

Thanks for your feedback, Angela.

[@pattyhopkins5682]

These chair exercises were great for me. I needed a little cardio and it is perfect.

[@ImprovedHealth]

Thanks for your feedback, Patty and welcome to my channel! 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. I also started a second channel dedicated to chair workouts and will add the link for you here: youtube.com/@ImprovedHealthChairWorkouts I now upload all new seated workouts to the new channel. Lastly, I upload all of the workouts from both channels to my website at www.improvedhealthforseniors.com I hope that helps and I hope you enjoy more of the workouts when you try them out.

[@diana07753]

[@HA-kw7vq]

[@vanessaharris1787]

[@floriancoombes1807]

Ten of us in our village do your program every week. 70s and 80s. Great workout.

[@ImprovedHealth]

Oh, wonderful! I'm so glad you're enjoying these workouts together in a group. I'll add my new chair channel for you in case you haven't seen it: youtube.com/@ImprovedHealthChairWorkouts

[@carolebaker4023]

Hi Jules, We are still exercising with you and enjoying this particular class #4 as a favourite! Definitely feel the benefits as we are both over 75 years old and really need the movements and stretching! Thank you!

[@ImprovedHealth]

I love that you continue to move and enjoy the benefits of exercise. What is it about this one that you particularly enjoy? I'll be creating a new seated one soon.

[@debybrown7721]

My favorite too.

[@thegeraldinekuss]

I loved day 4, the more you talk the better. I feel more motivated when you talk & as I live alone & it seems like well intentioned company! From Sunny Rio de Janeiro. Will be having hip replacement in October.( 19th or 21st) Thanks!❤( 78yrs.getting younger every day!)

[@ImprovedHealth]

Thanks so much for your feedback, Geraldine. I love knowing that I'm with you in Rio:)

[@wendybevan-poste5681]

Excellent classes i am thoroughly enjoying this programme. You are so good to follow, and after a few months of doing these exercises,i can feel and see a difference. Thank you so very much from Wendy in the UK xx

[@ImprovedHealth]

Woohoo! I love reading that you are seeing change. I'll add my second channel in case you haven't seen it: youtube.com/@ImprovedHealthChairWorkouts

[@herrysamon]

Hello jules great class very happy that there is very good exercizing

[@ImprovedHealth]

Thanks Lorraine:)

[@kathysnyder7016]

Day 4 and I feel great. My neck doesn't hurt, my back doesn't hurt any more. I'm looking forward to keeping this up. Thank you so much

[@ImprovedHealth]

Woohoo! I love reading that, Kathy!

[@marcieching455]

Thank you for your chair exercises that I do with my 92 year old mother in law. Wish there is a compilation of the 7 day exercises so it is easy to follow. Sometimes, it is hard to search for the other days to follow.

[@ImprovedHealth]

Hi Marcie, I just finished copying and pasting all the links to the series in the description under the video. Once you play a video, you can also hit 'save' under the video and add it to your 'favourites'. Another way to find these is in the 'beginner level chair' playlists. I'm going to add my other channel, too, in case you haven't seen it. youtube.com/@ImprovedHealthChairWorkouts

[@marcieching455]

Oh , thank you so much . Highly appreciated. This will help us navigate and continue to do all your exercises everyday.

[@christabellelysander4392]

Thank you so much, Jules, for the workout, for helping us be fit. God bless you!

[@ImprovedHealth]

Thank you!

[@annesneed]

Really great class today....have a wonderful rest of the day....God Bless

[@ImprovedHealth]

Thanks so much, Anne:)

[@debybrown7721]

So far my Favorite!!! I have put on so much weight and feel so stiff. I hurt myself doing another so called senior exercises. I find your workouts perfect!!!

[@ImprovedHealth]

I am so happy to read this workout works well for you. I hope you return everyday so the stiffness goes away and you start feeling better again.

[@staceydroogas928]

I had a great day with you, Jules. I've learned how valuable pushing and pulling are with "phantom" objects one would push and pull. It was a new concept for exercising and you brought it home. Moves against nothing but ones's resistance adds so much more to each routine. It's more demanding, but over time, guess what? The muscles strengthen and it becomes easier to imagine and perform. You've also stressed "squeezing," Very few instructors stress engaging /tensing the muscles when not using weights or resistance bands. I've done this all along. Isometric moves are golden. For me, no apologies needed when you counti eps. It focuses and centers me, but I understand that some may not prefer this. I'm so glad I came across your channel!...Anastasia

[@ImprovedHealth]

You're so awesome with your feedback. Thank you for helping me to understand what is helpful in the videos.💖

[@patriciabailey8124]

I love your class, found it a week ago, I'm 58 and I have arthritis in lower vertebrae and in both big toes. I just had foot surgery so I wanted to find something that's not too hard on my foot, this works great.

[@ImprovedHealth]

Thanks so much for letting me know that you're new here. Just so you know, I create 3 levels of seated workouts (gentle, beginner and intermediate). All of the workouts are categorized into the playlists. I started a new channel this past summer catering to chair workouts so you'll find the newer workouts there. I'll add the link for you: www.youtube.com/@ImprovedHealthChairWorkouts Alternatively, you can find the workouts from both channels uploaded onto my website: www.improvedhealthforseniors.com Welcome to my channels!

[@johnmooney1267]

This is my 3rd time through the 7 day chair exercises. I don't do one every day but since I found your videos I exercise more than ever before. I can't explain why but there are days I would not exercise if I couldn't do it with you but I can face exercising with your help. I especially like the days where there is a picture of the outdoors behind you. Thank you very much for changing my attitude toward exercising.

[@ImprovedHealth]

Thank you for an incredibly meaningful message. I am truly grateful. Ironically, just this past week I have been thinking about creating another series of this level. Just need to find the time to get my thinking cap on and then create them:) I hope to have a new series out in the next few to several weeks.

[@carolebaker4023]

Hi Jules, You asked what we like about Day 4. There are only three longer repetitions that are enjoyable to do. Other days have too many shorter (6) repetitions which are challenging. We like the running, the sit stands and the way you use the weights. As always, the stretches are excellent.

[@ImprovedHealth]

Thank you for the feedback, Carole. It's been a long time since I created this one so I'll have to watch it to understand what you're referring to with the 3 longer repetitions:)

[@judymaylat9051]

thank you so much enjoying your classes. after a d0uble knee replacement these chair exercises cises are just right

[@ImprovedHealth]

I'm so glad these work for you. Thanks for letting me know, Judy.

[@johnmooney1267]

thanks for a great work out.

[@carolebaker4023]

Hi, Love your classes - my husband both have completed the first seven days and will continue. Thank you!

[@ImprovedHealth]

Thanks so much, Carole. I'm glad this is something you and your husband can do together:)

[@carolebaker4023]

Hi again Jules, we just did Day 4 again and decided that the interval exercises alternating cardio and strength work well.

[@ImprovedHealth]

Thanks again for the helpful feedback:)

[@savitatomar5249]

Thankyou so much I. Love your classes

[@ImprovedHealth]

Thanks so much, Savita:) ❤️

[@lauriephelan3391]

thank you. The exercises are surprisingly challenging! I find your commentary, and counting, quite useful as I then concentrate on you, not how I feel...

[@ImprovedHealth]

Thank you for that feedback, Laurie. People often assume chair exercises are easy but they can definitely be challenging if done correctly:)

[@whyme7400]

I really like this 7 day series! Next week I am going to tackle the walking series and will hopefully be able to do them all. I might as well sell my exercise DVDs because I only want to do your workouts every day- great variety.

[@ImprovedHealth]

You definitely know how to make my day! I am currently working on a new series...I hope to have it up in a week or two. Thank you for all your positive comments:)

[@helencameron4262]

another good class. many thanks

[@julielatteri5589]

Would like more of your excercises!! Love them❤

[@ImprovedHealth]

Thank 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.

[@MEw650]

We did this one today, and pushed a little harder where we could. Chiropractor tomorrow, so hopefully soon can do better. We’re still going!!!!

[@ImprovedHealth]

💕💕💕

[@debrtx]

Thank you so much for the seated workouts. My goal for January after being so sick in December is to be more consistent.

[@ImprovedHealth]

I have actually decided to start a second channel and dedicate it to chair workouts. I should have it ready by the weekend. I’ll upload more regularly which will help to give you variety:)

[@debrtx]

@@ImprovedHealth Oh wow! Thank you so much.

[@marymargaretmoore9034]

Tried this one today; another successful workout! Thank you Jules.

[@ImprovedHealth]

I'm very happy to read that you are enjoying these workouts. Thanks Mary:)

[@maryblack5094]

[@ImprovedHealth]

[@ahuvamargosches4511]

[@ImprovedHealth]

Thank you:)

[@jeanstanley-2264]

Everything jules really enjoyed this chair work out thank you 😊 ❤❤

[@ImprovedHealth]

Thanks Jean.❤️

[@angelaowens4767]

Done this as well as day 3 today as I have the toddler and might not find time to exercise. Fingers crossed I find the time😊

[@ImprovedHealth]

Good for you for making the time to exercise:)

[@christinemcgruder5734]

I am a new fan, and I have enjoyed the 7 day series so far. I had a very bad gout flare up, and could not walk as I normally do for exercise. I was browsing through KZbin last week, and stumbled across your chair exercises, and they have been a life saver. I was surprised that I sweat just as much as when I do a brisk walk!! I am looking forward to finishing out the 7 day challenge. Excellent workouts!

[@ImprovedHealth]

Welcome Christine! Thank you so much for the comment...truly appreciate hearing from you and hearing the workouts have helped:) Looking forward to hearing how the other workouts work for you as you get through them.

[@pampang3524]

hi Jules, today I randomly picked this. Thanks

[@ImprovedHealth]

I hope you enjoyed it, and I hope you're enjoying some new ones from the new channel, too.

[@lilibetwindsor79]

Just found out my bone intensity has improved a lot for demur and femoral xxxx but not spine area. Which exercises would u recommend please?

[@ImprovedHealth]

Hi! I'm going to add a link for you which gives specific exercises to do: www.medicalnewstoday.com/articles/exercises-for-osteoporosis-of-the-spine@@lilibetwindsor79

[@lilibetwindsor79]

@ImprovedHealth Many thanks indeed, do you mind making a video so that I could follow along please 🙏

[@17sahinhasham25]

Hi there!! Thanks for sharing, I loved it. I do teach the seniors yoga and do some easy exercise. If you have anymore please do share. Thank you so much. 💓

[@ImprovedHealth]

Hi! I have lots of gentle seated workouts. Here is the playlist: kzbin.info/aero/PLsPoR5SimhuW4PN0SIwC5E1xa87Q9CmHV

[@carolebaker4023]

Hi Jules, can you pleas send a link for your standing exercises and strength training exercises - Also have you made new videos of your chair exercises for seniors? You are still our favourite instructor after all this time! Best regards Carole

[@ImprovedHealth]

Thanks Carole! Have you seen my other channel dedicated to chair workouts? I 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 If you go to my website, you'll see all of my workouts there.

[@sharonlane5647]

I finished day four! I am motivated to finish the 7 day challenge. I enjoy your workouts as they are very easy to follow…. No fancy footwork. I am going to be 79 this year and so far I have been able to stay up with you and complete each session. Thank you! What do you recommend after the 7 day challenge?

[@ImprovedHealth]

Hi Sharon! I'm so happy to read that you are doing these workouts and already thinking about what you're going to do next after finishing the 7 days. That is GREAT. I have quite a few seated workouts and my goal is to put a new one out every Wednesday. I try to provide a variety of levels, though, so some weeks the workout might be too easy for you. If you go to my playlists, you'll see a playlist dedicated to seated gentle workouts, seated beginner and seated intermediate. After the 7 days, I'd suggest going there to choose the workouts you feel are appropriate for your level. I hope that helps:)

[@lindamanfreda1642]

Thank you so much! I love your classes. I have a bone on bone knee waiting for replacement in a few months. This allows me to get some exercise in since I can’t do much of anything else.

[@ImprovedHealth]

Hi Linda! Thank you for your comment. Sorry to hear about your knee but happy to hear you will have it replaced soon. I am very happy to hear you are enjoying the classes and they work well for you:)

[@eloisamenezes6912]

That was a excellent workout I really enjoyed doing them ofcourse if I do this daily even at my age of late 70's I really will be strong. Thanks a lot.

Hi Cammy, I had planned to put out a seated class this past week but when I went to upload the recorded video, I realized it didn't record! Argh. Anyway, I will work on another one this week and hope to have it up soon for you. Thank you for your request:)

Hi, are your videos Creative Commons as I think they are really good and would like to use them on a blog I am starting for senior fitness and health. I see the music is but I was wondering about the video itself.

[@ImprovedHealth]

Hi Pete, you can use them on your blog. I appreciate you asking and am happy for the videos to reach more seniors who would benefit from the exercises.

[@gladysmangali4613]

[@ghadasuqr343]

So the 7 days program is designed for days of the week without any days for rest

[@ImprovedHealth]

Yes, that is right although if you feel you need to take a day off due to feeling sore/exhausted, etc., then by all means listen to your body and do what works best for you.

[@debrasmith9068]

Day 4 seemed different today, missing some of the transitions between exercises, maybe has been changed/spliced but suddenly you are in a different exercise and we aren’t…just fyi. I can follow but new ones might not.

[@ImprovedHealth]

Hi Debra, do you mean it seems as though it's changed from what the video used to be? I haven't changed anything so I'm not sure what you're seeing.

[@mozzarella121]

Hope you are doing okay.

[@sonjagaither3814]

Can I really lose weight off of these workout exercises please respond to my text... do do you ever have a group of ppl on here working out with you on yourube. I would really like that

[@ImprovedHealth]

Hi, my suggestion is to try to do a workout in the morning and another one later in the day if you can. The more movement you do, the better results you'll see. Healthy eating is also a huge part of losing weight. I don't do the workout with groups on my channel because I don't have the space in my house to record more than just me.

[@annnguyen1877]

Thanks
