Thanks for a great seated cardio workout! Dealing with pretty severe plantar fasciitis right now and have been told by my doc I need to stay off my feet as much as possible. Thanks for these seated workouts that are keeping me moving! 😅

Excellent....feel good all over but my knees were protected!

[@OfraMatzovCohen]

Thanks as always; I took the standing dance workout. The (empty) chair next to me was my nice and cheered audience.🙋‍♀🐿🐿

[@ImprovedHealth]

Lol...still laughing. Thanks for that, Ofra. 💖💖💖

[@lejeune470]

Hi Jules! My wife and I loved this video❤! Thanks for making another Intermediate seated exercise.

[@ImprovedHealth]

Thank you so much for letting me know that you both enjoyed this one. I really appreciate it!

[@nbasunrise]

Thank you Jules. It's a great workout without stressing my knees. :)

[@ImprovedHealth]

Thanks Noorin. I'm happy to read that this one worked well for you.

[@loonielaura]

Thanks for this surprise workout Jules. It’s always a pleasure to do your varieties of workouts. The core, hips and thighs got an extra workout today. 😊

[@ImprovedHealth]

Thanks so much for your comment, Laura. You are always so supportive and I definitely appreciate you.

[@USAtoElsewhere]

I was looking for a seated dance cardio video but thought maybe none existed. I have limited time to sit but I want to teach both seated and standing cardio dance in the future. So I modified and moved in all directions because I also have limited time to stand in one place. Halfway through I did bigger modifications for laying flat down. Without sitting I couldn't move both feet together too well but....modify. I liked the r and b music partway through the best. I hope you make more seated dance videos. This was more advanced than the ones I did with mom after her stroke but I think for most people, moving in time to good music makes exercise much more doable. I hopevyou make more seated cardio dance videos- with a variety of durations as little as 5 minutes long, as a warm up, cooldown or when we just can't do any more. I have found that people on these videos are asking for mainly 1950s through 1970s pop music, but I also love some older such as big band and Charleston, Latin, almost any rock and r and b as well as some newer music.

[@ImprovedHealth]

Thanks for your feedback and thoughts on this workout, Sherry. It's a challenge using copyrighted music which is why you don't usually hear it on my channel. There are always issues that arise. I'll do my best to create some more seated dance videos in the future:)

[@JacquelineNorris]

Thank You So Much

[@anuradhab4481]

An innate trust in the instructor prompted me to do this as you'd designed it...I am thrilled...it was no cakewalk, the mix of moves were challenging, fumbled a bit :)...but now am raring to go about the evening's work! Thank you ever so much, Jules...wish you great success in all you do🙏

[@ImprovedHealth]

Thanks for letting me know you tried it, and enjoyed it:)

[@cherylelinsmith743]

Wow! Another great one, really felt it in my upper legs and thighs. The chair of one’s are nice, cause I don’t have to put n my running shoes. Keep them coming, cause with the videos and walking I’m in good shape. God Bless

[@ImprovedHealth]

I'm so glad to read that you are noticing a difference in your fitness, Cheryl. Kudos to you for working out regularly to get yourself stronger and more fit:)

[@annnguyen1877]

Thanks

[@msbowling5]

A wonderful class! I’m having a foot problem, so can’t follow the standing/ jumping videos. I’m astonished to find this one so useful.

[@ImprovedHealth]

I am thrilled to read that you enjoyed this one. Thanks Mollie. I appreciate that you took the time to comment. A new 20 min seated workout is going up tomorrow in case you're interested. Sorry to hear about your foot...I hope it heals quickly for you!

[@georgewagner6889]

Hi Jules: another amazing workout. I really enjoyed it. Have a great weekend 😅😅😅

[@ImprovedHealth]

Thanks so much, George. I'm just getting to the comments now after the weekend. Beautiful weather keeps me off the computer:)

[@susanwright2554]

Hi Jules, feeling a bit off-colour so thought I would try something 'lighter' today. Still a great workout, and I feel more energised now. I missed the clocks too, but I like the new additions to the title page telling us the level of each workout. Many thanks 😊

[@ImprovedHealth]

Thanks so much for the feedback about the addition of the level on the thumbnail page. I will add the countdown clock back in for the next video:) Your feedback is super helpful...thanks Susan!

[@KarinBurditt]

Once again had to take 3 weeks off for a medical issue. It is not totally resolved but I am able to start to train again. This was great. However, I want to comment that I love a couple of things about your channel: the new 'Chair assisted' section is awesome and I particularly love the no talking videos because I am always going to blast my own music and I don't feel as bad about it when there is a no talking. Is there a possibility of adding a 'with or without music' feature? Even if not I will continue to do your workouts because they are really excellent and positive and fun. Thanks as always.

[@ImprovedHealth]

I'm glad you're feeling better, Karin! I definitely wish I could add that feature, but no, it's not an option. I have to chose which one to do before I upload the video onto YT. Don't worry about muting me...I won't notice.😉

[@lucius10]

I didn't want to do anything today, but I did the exercises with you with pleasure.💛

[@ImprovedHealth]

Kudos to you for working out despite not feeling like doing it! I'm sure you feel much better for moving today.

[@lucius10]

[@estherrivers6164]

I am so excited for this. More surgeries have me doing seated workouts and was missing your dance cardio ones. Thanks in advance 🤗

[@ImprovedHealth]

I hope that you enjoyed it, Esther!

[@estherrivers6164]

@@ImprovedHealth yes, it did enjoy the workout. I did the 1960s chair workout today and enjoyed that also (cardio portion).

[@joannamicangelo8062]

This was a really great workout. I've skipped over the chair workouts thinking they'd be too easy. I was wrong. Inreally felt this in my abs and legs and it got my heart rate up quite nicely. Thank you, Jules.

[@ImprovedHealth]

Thanks so much, JoAnn. This one is more challenging. You would likely find the gentle ones too easy but the intermediate workouts are designed to get the heart rate up. I'm glad to read that you enjoyed it:)

[@USAtoElsewhere]

JoAnn, ditto for me thinking it would be too easy.

[@Clara-wo1hg]

Ok think I need to buy a chair without arms because I want to try this 👍

[@ImprovedHealth]

You can still do it in a chair with arms...just sit on the edge of the chair so you can move more easily. But, yes, a chair without arms will make it easier to move:)

[@1nCornerCubicle]

Wow, I found new muscles with this workout! I’ve never done chair exercise because I thought it would be to easy, was I wrong! This was an excellent first for me. Thank you, Jules.

[@ImprovedHealth]

Oh yay, thanks for that feedback, Debra. This is definitely a more challenging seated workout.

[@nellyguma]

Very nice workout. I like it that they're all differente so I never get bored since there are so many videos. Thanks!

[@ImprovedHealth]

Thanks Nelly! I uploaded a new 20 minute seated cardio workout on my other channel today if you're looking for a new, but similar one to this one.

[@lindakreitzer2015]

Always surprised how tough seated workouts are. Great for the abs, tough on the front of the thighs. Missed the time clock.

[@ImprovedHealth]

Thanks for letting me know about the time clock...I will include it next time. Sometimes I feel like it will make the workout seem longer when participants are watching the clock. But, the feedback tells me to keep the clock in the video:)

[@beckysharpe5775]

A fairly good workout, but a lot of marching and very little dancing. The music in the first part is a nerve-wracking jangling tune that plays over and over--I had to mute this. Also, this is NOT low impact so be careful. Low impact means keeping one foot on the ground at all times, but she has a lot of moves where she raises both feet. If you have back problems this will make it worse.

[@ImprovedHealth]

Thanks for your honest feedback, Becky. I create 3 levels of workouts and this one is an intermediate workout so the moves are designed to be more challenging (not designed for people with back issues). When we raise both feet, that’s a combo cardio and core exercise. I will review the video this morning and decide whether to remove it. I always value viewer’s feedback and safety is priority as well. Thank you for taking the time to give feedback.

[@ImprovedHealth]

Hi again, I just reviewed it to remind myself of what I included in this video. To make it more clear for others, I just added 'intermediate level' in the title to help people understand that this is a step up. The intermediate level workouts are created for people who want an extra challenge, and find the gentle and beginner level workouts too easy.

[@annemarieh7382]

Great workout even standing ( you know my hips don't like seated exercises). What happened to your timer? You just want us to be surprised that we are done? No no, I need to know. Bye, see you tomorrow.

[@ImprovedHealth]

Sometimes I think that people might not want the timer but you are now the second person to mention that you missed it. I will be sure to include it next time:)
