Walk at Home | Low Impact Walking Exercise for Seniors | Gentle Moves

[@joji55]

Thank you for this just perfect exercise for my 84 years old husband with 3/4 lung capacity! He was out of breath for a while, we stop and pushed play to continue 😅 he says thank you to you and we just subscribed for more senior walking with you! Merci from grateful seniors living in France 🇫🇷

[@ImprovedHealth]

Merci beaucoup! Welcome to my channel and thank you for subscribing! Just to help you navigate the channel, I create 3 levels of workouts (gentle, beginner and intermediate) and categorize them all into the playlists. If you enjoyed this one, you can find plenty more at this same level under the 'gentle level' playlists. I hope you and your husband enjoy more of the workouts when you try them out!

[@dianalapeira7028]

I am enjoying your walk at home, so much! I am 75 years old and that low impact workout is excellent for me. I’m forwarding it to some of my friends!

[@ImprovedHealth]

Thank you, Diana! I really appreciate you sharing them. My goal of starting was to help more seniors so thank you for helping:)

[@michellemaytorena]

Hello! I get 2 10 minute breaks a day on remote job. Will be spending one with you! These 10 minutes of movements are perfect for remote desk bound. I am recommending to team mates! Love it us broken in to 2 segments. You are so encouraging and make it easy! Thank you!🎉❤😊

[@ImprovedHealth]

Thank you for your lovely comment and congrats for making the time to fit these into your work day. If you enjoyed this one, you can find more like it in the ‘gentle level’ playlists. Thank you for sharing these with others, too!

[@MEw650]

Oh, Julie, what a day I’ve had! We only got to do this easy 10 minute workout today. 😞 Mid morning my back decided to reek havoc on me. I finally had to make a trip back to the Chiropractor. I think that will be back on track soon-I’m glad I’ve finally learned to go to him early on when I have trouble. Maybe tomorrow will be a better day.

[@ImprovedHealth]

I’m sorry to hear about your back:( Take the time you need to allow it to heal. The seated gentle or beginner workouts might be the best option right now. Those workouts are still very beneficial:)

[@MEw650]

@@ImprovedHealth , we will probably go back to those, at least for now. Back to chiropractor Wednesday ; maybe I will make great progress by then with home therapy.

[@hildaschrock5773]

Came across your channel today and LOVE it. The area and leg movements are not overly complicated like others. Will definitely be using your channel in the future. Looking forward to the twenty minute version.❣️

Welcome to my channel, Hilda! If you look at my playlists, you'll find a playlist for 'true beginner' workouts. I hope more of the workouts in this playlist work for you. Thanks so much for sending me a message.

Hi. I just wanted to say thank you for making this video. I am morbidly obese and I haven't exercised in a long time. I am 53 years old and I think I can do this because I am not getting any younger. God bless from Kingston,Ontario Canada

Hi Lola, I am so happy to read you are starting with exercise. Congratulations on taking that first step (that's the hardest part). If you look under my playlists, you'll find similar workouts under 'true beginner'. I am so happy to have you join me. Btw, I lived in Kingston for 3 years about 25 years ago...beautiful city.

Do you incorporate hand weights during the seated chair workouts?

[@ImprovedHealth]

I do for a lot of them. More so with the 'beginner' workouts than the 'true beginner' or 'gentle' ones. I am a big believer in strength training. You can find my seated workouts in the playlists.

[@gordon8601]

This workout is perfect for someone who hasn't exercised in quite a while and is trying to get back in shape. It's just enough. Thank you for posting it!

Discovered your channel while looking for low impact chair exercises for seniors. I like the amount of time, short enough that I can handle the exercises but long enough for me to benefit from the exercises. I enjoy the variety of exercises that is offered. I share these on Facebook as I find them enjoyable and beneficial.

[@ImprovedHealth]

I love these little 10 minute workouts. Just started today. Did one this morning and one this evening. Going to try to squeeze in another one before I go to bed. This is perfect for me because I have pain in my knees and this is not strenuous. And I could do it at a little faster pace. Also the music is soft and relaxing. Thank you !

[@srinards.8185]

Hello 72 here ! I came across your video, not long ago and found it simple to follow. I do exercise but mostly just walking. I don’t like feeling tiredness so my problem is consistency. I will try to solve the problem from now on. what I like in your video,besides it’s simpleness ,is how you tell when it’s about to switch and few tips. (Not chatting or tell stories all the time like ive seen in some.) So , in the meantime, I can concentrate on the exercise. Thanks to you.

Welcome to my channel and thank you for letting me know that you're new here. Just to help you navigate the channel, I create 3 levels of workouts (gentle, beginner and intermediate) and categorize them all into the playlists. If you enjoyed this one, you can find plenty more at this same level under the 'gentle level' playlists. There are lots of other short 10-20 minute walks that I hope will help. Taking breaks as needed is a great way to be able to do more of the workout and in time, you'll get stronger and be able to do more. Another option is to do the seated workouts on days when your energy is lower due to chronic fatigue. The gentle seated workouts focus on gentle movement to improve flexibility and range of motion. I also create 3 levels for those so you can pick and choose depending on your energy. I'll add my other seated channel in case you'd like to try some there: youtube.com/@ImprovedHealthChairWorkouts

[@ImprovedHealth]

@@durreshehwar4272 Hi! My suggestion is to modify any exercise that doesn't work well for you. If the hamstring curl is tough on your knee, then definitely switch it to something else. A step touch (feet back and forth) is likely a better move for your knee. Congrats for being here and for taking that first step to working out! I truly hope you come back every day. A little bit every day definitely adds up!

Hello! I discovered this yesterday and it’s perfect for me. I’m recovering from shoulder surgery after a fall 4 months ago and haven’t been able to do my usual daily walking routine. Clear and precise instructions, in a warm and friendly manner. My only request would be the option for subtitles as I have a hearing loss and have to depend on lip reading/subtitles. Thank you! 💕

I like your videos (music...movements...tempo...walking with movements GREAT). Especially in a day when I have low energy level...feel stress out or nerve pains. I like doing movements outdoor / on bed / on chair or standing at floor when possible. Main thing is when videos are not that long and they are gentle movements it is easy to start doing. When you feel like doing more you can do video two times or do 2-3 videos. My wishes for length is 10-15-20 minutes...maybe 30 minutes too with warm up or cardio...movements and stretching with this gentle tempo :) Keep on doing great videos. Your voice...talking...music everything is relaxing and nice to listen.THANK YOU!

@Karen Bailey Hi Karen, I'm not sure how many calories. If you're just starting out, it would be great to focus on the amount of time you complete. Maybe start with 5 or 10 minutes each day.

I'm in my 70's and was easily doing a 2000 step walk at home video once or twice a day, until I got a very nasty virus 5 weeks ago. Maybe RSV? Lost weight and muscle. 10 days ago had internal angiogram and still have sore arm. I feel like I am starting all over. Just did this, and it's about all I can do.

[@ImprovedHealth]

It's definitely frustrating when we catch a virus and it sets us back. Since you had a good fitness base before, muscle memory will help you to get stronger each day and you'll gain back any strength that you lost. Just do your best to stay consistent with exercising daily, but do allow yourself to start back slowly and work up to more when you're feeling well enough to do so.

[@ImprovedHealth]

I'm sorry to read about what you're going through. I am sure over time with the physical therapy, you will continue to grow stronger. When you're ready, these workouts will be waiting for you. In the meantime, I might suggest trying the seated workouts under the 'gentle level' seated workouts in the playlists on my channel. They will help you work through range of motion & flexibility while not being too taxing on your body. I truly hope those work until you can do the gentle standing workouts. I'm not sure what your injuries are, but just do the movements that work, and modify the other movements for now. Over time you'll be able to do more. I wish you a quick & full recovery.

I started using this video day 2 days ago, today I did it again. I can only get through half the video due to bad knees but I will keep working at till I get through the whole video. Thank you.

[@ImprovedHealth]

Hi Debbie, good for you for doing this two days in a row even though your knees are bothering you. Have you tried my gentle or beginner chair exercises? They'll provide you with good range of motion exercises and cardio and strength exercises which may benefit you more than the walking. You can find all of the workouts under my playlists. Or maybe try a chair workout and then do what you can in this walking video...just a thought:)

[@dsqueek205]

@@ImprovedHealth thank you. I will look into your other videos.

[@debraflorence3664]

Hello, I just found your group and tried your 10-minute walk. I have not exercised for more than 20 years; I have an added 40 pounds gained over that time. I thought this would be a breeze, but I found it was a true challenge. I did end up slowing my pace as I do have hip and knee problems. I completed the walk disappointed how out of shape I have allowed myself to get. I have subscribed to you group and will continue to work out slowly. Thank you for no fast music or bouncing steps or jumping moves. I'll catch you again soon.

[@ImprovedHealth]

Hi Debra, I am so glad to read that you are planning to work towards getting stronger. It is amazing how busy our lives can get. But, you are here and today is a new day. I think you'll be surprised by how quickly you'll gain fitness and strength by returning to exercise each day. Start slowly, but be consistent if you can (meaning, try to work out daily and work up to doing more when you're ready). The seated workouts are also great options on days when your hips or knees are bothering you. I'll add my other channel as well for you. Seated workouts can be quite challenging and incredibly beneficial to. Welcome to my channels, Debra, and I truly hope you'll share your progress with me as you start this new chapter in your life. youtube.com/@ImprovedHealthChairWorkouts Just to help you navigate the channel, I create 3 levels of workouts (gentle, beginner and intermediate) and categorize them all into the playlists. If you enjoyed this one, you can find plenty more at this same level under the 'gentle level' playlists.

Oh wow! Thanks so much for letting me know about the PT. I really appreciate that!

[@pattywright7676]

Loved it! I can use it as warm up, cool down, and cardio when I double the pace. That will give me a 30 minute workout.

Love the way you cater the classes to suit you. That is perfect:)

I love that I found you. I incorporate your walking and chair exercises into my Pulmonary Rehab after-care program. I love it when you say "if this is too easy", as I barely keep up lol!, but I've stayed with you for over 6 weeks. 😊 I subscribe!

[@ImprovedHealth]

Congratulations for working out for 6 weeks now, Marty! That's great! I haven't created any new chair exercises or gentle standing workouts in a while but I will be getting back to offering more in the near future. I also have a special guest coming on soon who specialized in pulmonary rehab so I will have some of those videos for you soon, too:) Thank you for subscribing!

Hi I'm using your program this winter because it cold/rainy outside and I've had an injury and need to. Ease back into things I've seen you do programs with 70's music COULD YOU DO one with a 90's hip-hip theme like a osco-city kinda he has a channel on YT check him out NOT ALL OF US ARE seniors I turn your program on and but earbuds in with my hip-hip would be amazing if they were a ready made combo thanks again

[@ImprovedHealth]

Hi Jenny, thank you for letting me know that the workouts are working for you. Sorry to read about your injury...I hope it heals for you soon. Since I cater to seniors, I doubt I'll use hip hop in the future (unless I have a massive amount of people requesting it). I just don't think it's what most of my viewers want to hear. I'm glad you're able to use your earbuds to listen to what motivates you:)

I found this useful as a kind of slowing myself down/mindfulness type thing rather than just exercise. Deliberately slowing myself down, good for many things not just body. It was hard to co-ordinate holding my phone and the hand movements but hey ho.... (next time I will use different way to watch). I like the mix of times makes me not have an excuse to do something. First one I did was muma mia

You are so right with it being good to slow ourselves down sometimes. Mindfulness is something most of us don't do enough of.
