AT HOME Chair Exercises for Seniors/Older Adults/Beginners
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 13 июн 2024
- A gentle 30 minute class designed for beginners wanting the option of chair exercises for at home. Suitable for anyone looking to get back into fitness. Ideal for seniors, older adults, those with mobility issues, or beginners. Water bottles or food cans can be used for weights if needed. Most of the workout will be seated but we will stand for about 6 minutes to strengthen the legs. If you can't stand, you can modify the exercises and remain seated. This is a great workout for those who mostly need a seated workout but can do some standing exercises.

I love your videos. I wish I had found them sooner, but now works too! Greetings from Northern California ❤
Aw, thank you for sharing that with me. I appreciate your comment.
I am 74yrs old and your chair exercises for seniors has really helped and improved my mobility. Thank you sooo much. Regards from Pat Swansea S.Wales UK
Thanks for sharing that with me, Pat. I'm so glad you're feeling a difference. I'll attach my new channel just in case you haven't seen it: youtube.com/@ImprovedHealthChairWorkouts
I work at a retirement community. You are one of our favorite trainers. Please keep adding chair exercise.
Thank you for letting me know that. I definitely appreciate it. I'll add my new chair channel in case you missed it. I now upload all seated workouts to the new channel: youtube.com/@ImprovedHealthChairWorkouts
My husband and I are 78 and we love your classes. We do them everyday! Thank you!
That makes me very happy to know that you do the workouts together everyday. Thank you very much for letting me know.
Yes, Jules. There arent many who cater to those who cant exercise, standing up. Thank you so much for doing these workouts 😊
I'm happy to create these:)
This is helping so much. I haven’t exercised in years and find I need something. Bad knees - arthritis you name it but this is super helpful. I can’t wait until I’m strong enough to use weights. Again thank you.
Thank you so much for your comment, Bonnie. I am so happy to hear the class is helping you. There are lots more in the playlist for beginners. Please let me know if you need help finding the playlists.
Too much rain for an outside exercise. Your 30 minute stretch is perfect and rewarding. Thank you from Charlie in Syracuse New York.
Thank you
I did it!! I actually did the whole thing! I graduated from the 10 minute class. Might not be much to some, but it's a major milestone for me.
10 minutes up to 30 minutes is amazing progress! You absolutely deserve to feel proud of that. Congrats for challenging yourself to a longer workout!💪

I’m disabled and this is great. It’s low impact, explained well and she goes slow. I’ve seen other videos where the instructor goes way too fast for me.This is helping me. Thank you.
Thanks so much for your comment, Adrienne. I am happy to read this works well for you. If you go to the playlists, I have the workouts categorized into gentle, beginner and intermediate seated workouts. Hopefully you will find more there that will work well for you.
@@ImprovedHealth oh thank you. It’s helping me so much!
Almost 2 years back in time...... Jules, I think it's your fabulous disposition and active lifestyle that's making you look younger today...way to go!! Too bad copyright issues do not allow Johnny Cash, Kenny Rogers....but, I do love listening to your gentle instructions and whatever music you have on....Thank you+++++🤗
The exercises were on point...even in the chair, I was sweating...🙏...Hope you are feeling much better today!
I'm feeling well:) Thank you for your kind words. I wish I could use all the oldies, too...
@@ImprovedHealth 😊
Hello this is lorraine bradley that was a great workout 🎉❤❤❤❤
Thanks Lorraine!
Love this workout. Thanks so much for putting these videos together, they really help.
Thanks so much for your feedback.
My mom really likes your classes thank you
Thanks so much for letting me know she's still enjoying them:)
Too cold to run but I can always do your sessions in doors. Great stretch. Thank you from Charlie in Syracuse New York. Love your “out” pronunciation.
Thanks Charlie:)
My goal is to watch/do all your videos. Every single one. Those that are above or below my level of fitness are shareable -- and, as you've taught us, there are numerous modifications. Thank you for the variety, Jules.
Oh wow! You’re going to be busy!!!
@@ImprovedHealth Says the WONDER(ful) woman who created all of them! P.S. I reread my comment and I actually DO every video I watch, standing during the sitting ones while I ponder which friend would benefit from the seated session.
@@chrisperkins6403 Btw, if you stumble across some that you think are not great, or not on beat, please email me at jules.improvedhealth@gmail.com. I'll remove any that aren't as good as I feel they should be. I have so many now and I want them all to be great. I'd rather delete ones that are not considered great videos. I will not be offended.😉
@@ImprovedHealth Will do, though I sincerely doubt you'll be culling any. Truly, Jules, all of your videos are so well planned. I was actually thinking while watching one earlier (with my true beginner sister in mind) what an excellent communicator you are. You're a really great instructor, coach, and motivator.
Great workout
Very relax chair workout
Love the song & chair choreography
Thanks Charlene:)
Love your chair exercises. Thank you. ❤
Thanks Jill! I'll be uploading more soon:)
Thank you. Just tried exercise and I love it.
Thanks Judy! You can find all of the workouts categorized in the playlists and on my website (www.improvedhealthforseniors.com).
LOVED!!!!!! perfect post surgery exercise!!
Thanks Barbara. I have plenty more like this one under my 'beginner level seated' playlists, and more on my new channel dedicated to chair workouts: youtube.com/@ImprovedHealthChairWorkouts
Thank you for this video. It really helps to keep me more mobile.
Thanks Mary. I think this was my first ever video I created. I now have lots more under my 'gentle' and 'beginner' seated playlists if you're interested in more.
Thank you do much!
Спасибо! Привлекательный комплекс
I have multiple issues with knee and shoulders. You routine is great for me. Thanks so much!
I am SO glad to read that these work for you! Just so you know, I also have another channel dedicated to chair workouts. I'll add the link for you in case you're interested.
www.youtube.com/@ImprovedHealthChairWorkouts
On both channels, I categorize the workouts into the playlists under 'gentle', 'beginner' and 'intermediate' seated workouts.
I've exercised for years, but at the moment, I'm having knee problems ( well, I am 83). Anyhow, these gentle workouts give me a good way to keep up my strength without causing further problems.
I am so glad that these workouts are helping and are doable. Just so you know, I recently launched a new channel dedicated to chair workouts. All of these workouts will stay here, but all new seated workouts will upload to the new channel so you'll have lots of options:)
@ImprovedHealth sounds great. Where can I find them online?

Awesome my mom really likes this class
Thank you for letting me know:)
This is one of our favorite...thanks ...hAppy spring
Thank you, Pam. I will work on creating similar ones. If you don’t mind, please let me know what you like in particular to help me design the next one for you.
Very good
Awesome loved it
Thanks Victoria!
hola soy encarna gracias por dedicarno un poco de tu tiempo alas personas mayores comyo nos ayuda a vivir un poco mejor
I am absolutely thrilled to be able to help others and to improve the quality of life in seniors:)
Fitted in another as it’s pouring with rain outside 😮
Woohoo! Look at you go! Two today which is amazing!
I like this one.
Thank you!
Loved the music
Thanks for letting me know you enjoyed the music. Finding music is the hardest part of creating my videos.
I'm new and still doing the 10 min. but watched this. I am using 1 lb weights when I do mine and hopefully some good will come out of it. During Covid, I just sat around too much!
I’m so glad to read that you are choosing to move more.
Jules your viedos have helped me alot... Im into week 7 and love doing this with you.
you mentioned you work with mental health in exercises can you let me know which one to follow for that,
I think I meant that I actually work in mental health (with people with anxiety and depression) outside of creating videos. Any exercise, especially those that raise your heart rate a little, will benefit mental health.
I’m 55 and have a bad knee so this is great for. It having to stand with pain while exercising!
Thanks for letting me know that you enjoyed it. You can find all of the seated workouts categorized in the playlists, and on my website (www.improvedhealthforseniors.com).
Hi Jules, I love your work. I came across this class last week and wondering if there are any others in the same style.
Hi Syl, welcome to my channel! If you go to my playlists, you’ll see I have placed workouts in different categories. To find playlists, click on the ‘improved health’ logo and then you will see ‘videos’, ‘playlists’, etc. Let me know if you need more help finding them.
The legs going on the other leg only if you do not have hip operations.
Jules
Шноракалутун...
Google wouldn't translate for me so I'm not sure what you wrote.
Sometimes Ihave troble finding your programs Is there a name (yours or the workout) that I can search for?
If you put in ‘RUclips Improved Health Jules’, they’ll show up. When you go on my YT channel, click on the logo then to ‘playlists’ or ‘videos’. You can also find my classes under my website, www.improvedhealthforseniors.com

What is the weight of your weights?
I think I might be using a 2 or 3 lb weight in this video although if I were to do it at home, I would use more. When you are doing the exercise, find a weight that is somewhat challenging by the time you get to the end of the repetitions. You'll benefit more if you use a heavier weight, while still ensuring your form & technique is correct. I hope that helps.
What is your best video to work on abs?
There is a seated core workout under intermediate chair exercises as well as a standing ab workout under beginner standing exercises in the playlists.
Hi there ..just sub'd your CHNL..finally one I can do ..other tubers say easy workouts for seniors..start ok but then get all wild n crazy with stuff I can't do .. I'M almost 70 and haven't been active for over 20 yrs..it's not easy getting back into it ..iv already gone through the stages of anger sadness denial all that ..and now in acceptance..and ready to get after it ..so thank you for YOU 🤗💕🌷
@@audreykile I'm so happy to hear you could manage the class and CONGRATULATIONS for getting back into exercise! No matter what age we are, we can always start up exercise again and still get incredible benefits from it (physically, mentally, and emotionally). I think if you continue to move each day, you'll notice a big difference in your mental health as well (research says so!). Each day just find a class that works with your energy level and mood...starting is the hard part but after a few minutes of exercising, it gets easier. If you look at the playlists under my channel, you will be able to find the classes that suit your level the best. There are 'true beginner' classes and 'beginner' classes that will both likely work for you. Let me know how it goes as you try some of the other classes. I'd love to hear about your progress.
@@ImprovedHealth thank you sweet lovely for your response..indeed I will keep you posted..I am in PT currently ..but I want to keep doing it at home as well ..once we get past the stages of emotion and get to acceptance of where we are.....we can focus more on our progress...iv skimmed through at least 100 channels to see what was working for me ..and thank goodness I found you 🤗🌷💕..I'll be in touch often 🌷
@@audreykile I started this site to help older adults/seniors become more active so I can't tell you how happy I am that the classes work well for you. Also, thank you for your comments (put a huge smile on my face). Thank you, Audrey. Looking forward to hearing from you again:)
My client and I really enjoyed the exercises but dark clothing with background using our phone could barely see your arms
Thank you for the feedback about the colours...I'll keep that in mind.
Too much talking
Thanks for the feedback. I think you'll find in my newer ones, I talk less. youtube.com/@ImprovedHealthChairWorkouts
