Triple upload each week, amazing content...addressing a wide range of requirements!!! Each module is so versatile, can be done by most, with the various options you give us. You truly deserve all the support and gratitude we can give you Jules.❤ My afternoons are less lazy and more bright, in anticipation of working out with you😊

Thanks for your feedback, Patsy. Wishing you a nice Sunday:)

This is helping me get back into shape after a fall and foot surgery. Might have to repeat a few times to get up to pace, but grateful to be moving again. Thank you 🥰

[@ImprovedHealth]

I'm so glad to read that these workouts are helping. I'll add my chair channel in case you haven't seen it: youtube.com/@ImprovedHealthChairWorkouts

Thank you! Love the count down clocks!

Thanks Harla!

[@Rowancollie]

I am 75 and live on vancouver island, Canada and just finished the full 7 days. You are an outstanding presenter. I wish you would have a 30 day challenge increasing in intensity as days increase. I would certainly join you.

[@ImprovedHealth]

Hi Rowan, welcome to my channel! I would love to create a 30 day challenge but I work full-time so it's difficult for me to create that many days. I create 3 levels of workouts (gentle, beginner and intermediate) so one idea would be to get through the beginner level workouts, and when you feel ready, you could try some of the intermediate level ones. I categorize all of the workouts into the playlists on my channel. I do have a second channel as well for chair workouts, and some of them have standing exercises within those workouts. I'll add the link for you here: www.youtube.com/@ImprovedHealthChairWorkouts I create chair workouts biweekly now and upload them on the new channel. Btw, I love Vancouver Island. So much beauty everywhere. I'm in snowy, and very cold Ottawa.

[@marthajensma6301]

Hi fellow Vancouver Islander! Isn’t this channel great? So many choices and levels. Thanks Jules

[@juliestewart9503]

Loves these exercises Jules...thank you ❤

[@ImprovedHealth]

Thank you 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.

UK 82yrs: thanks Jules ❤whenever I think of a request, I find you've already done it. This covers so much😮 just would like to see foot under wheelchair for stretch shown at side of chair 😅

[@ImprovedHealth]

Thanks Patsy. I try to change up the exercises as much as I can to give variety. I’ll try to remember to show the foot under the chair as well as at the side so people can choose the exercise that works well for them. Thanks for the reminder:)

[@patsyriggs3915]

UK 81: Thanks Jules. Appreciate the counter down. ❤

[@terrydunn134]

I'm really enjoying these workouts! I used to do a lot of walking but my hip has arthritis in it and I can't walk much any more without lots of pain. These exercises are great! They hit all parts of the body and leave me feeling like I have had a good workout when I am finished. Thanks so much!!!!

[@ImprovedHealth]

Audrey, the seated workouts are great. I also deal with spinal stenosis . I have to modify some of the moves to avoid to much twisting on my lower back.

Thanks Susan! I'll have the next one up on Saturday (I had to push the date back since I have a 5 day strength series going up this week).

[@lucius10]

Excellent for our health and brilliantly designed exercises for everyone without exception. Personally, I have benefited greatly and enjoyed exercising.💛

[@susansopek4352]

I found this video today, wanting something to ease back into working out after a 6week upper respiratory issue. Thank you so much! You had me using muscles that I rarely used in my strength and cardio class a the gym. Removing the “momentum” in the movements is new to me. I have used your walking workouts (70s and 80s music my favorites) off and on for over a year. Combined with this seated weights, I’ve decided to quit my gym membership and use your videos at least 5 times a week!

[@ImprovedHealth]

Oh wow! Thanks so much for taking the time to write your message, Susan! I am so glad to read that you're feeling different muscles being worked in my workouts.

[@lindakreitzer2015]

I don;t usually do the seated exercise, but did today. Good arm workout. And variety Is good for the body I believe.

[@ImprovedHealth]

The seated workouts are quite varied. For the gentle and beginner levels, you'll get more range of motion exercises. If you want to intensity the seated workouts, you can try the intermediate level ones (which can be quite the workout).

[@Theresa-z4r]

So glad I found this, I have been in a slump and I happily came across your video: heaven sent, you explained all very well🙏

Another winning video Jules. We had the class on Wednesday from 11 to 12pm. Older lady did the class with cool music. Their was three seniors with walkers, they put them at back and held onto chair to do the exercises. Everyone had so much fun, and two people saw we were having fun and came in to join. She did standing exercises, and sitting. Some were like you do. I was amazed how many tenants showed up. Service coordinator didn’t think anyone was interested, and no one would show. I think she was hoping that. We proved her wrong, she was shocked when she saw people signing in. Tenant President Christine came as well to work out. It’s going to be every Wednesday same time. People were laughing and having fun. People want to get healthy. To see people with walkers come in to exercise, made me so happy.

[@ImprovedHealth]

Oh, yay! That is fantastic news, Cheryl! I am thrilled to read that lots of people attended and the best part is that they had fun while getting physically active. I'm sure for many of the folks in your building, they'll look forward to the social aspect of the class each week as well. Thanks so much for letting me know how it went.

Congrats for being here and for starting, Beth! I'm excited for you and I look forward to reading about your progress (if you wish to share it). I truly hope you return every day. On days when you have a hard time motivating yourself, just promise yourself that you'll do 5 minutes, and that 5 minutes will likely end up being much longer (hopefully the entire workout). Just so you know, I have recently launched a second channel specifically for chair workouts. All of these chair workouts will stay here, but all new uploads will go to the new channel.

Today I made this a mixed exercise: some seated, some standing--all challenging. My knees can't tolerate sit to stands, but they can for squats. You manage to add interesting variations of more common moves which keeps me interested. When I could I increased my reps assuring me that I received a thorough workout!. I love all the music you play on your videos, Jules, and this one was no exception. I plan on working on your 5 day series. I have 3 more days to go! Thank you!...Anastasia

Jules your exercises are very good. I just started seeing a physio. She suggested that I do clinical pilates if I want to strenghten my legs even more. I was in hospital for more than two months after a very severe fall in early October last year. I was not able to walk and my calves were very swollen. Now I can walk, thanks to medical science and divine intervention but my legs are still weak. I will think about the clinical pilates. Do you think that this is a good idea? Thanks again. GBU.

[@ImprovedHealth]

Pilates is definitely beneficial for building core strength and overall muscle strength. I'm glad to read that you're seeing physio since they are the experts with prescribing exercises after injuries and accidents. I think the physio's suggestion is a great idea to continue to build strength.
