Hi Jules, I'm still working with this video every other day. It may be short but it's not exactly easy (at least for me it isn't). But that's what I like about it! It's short AND challenging to my muscles. I'm still doing my regular workout in the mornings and this one later in the day. And yes, I am paying special attention to form. Thanks for that.
I am SO happy to read that you are doing this every second day. That is ideal. You are really going to notice a difference in your strength over time...just be patient and soon you'll be seeing a change in your muscle definition and strength:) I'm very excited for you!
I have to start somewhere so here I am! I'm really thankful to have this short video to start rebuilding the strength in my arms before going back going back to the strength series. I always enjoyed it before and I enjoyed it today too! Th.ank you
Thank you Jules... another great work out .... my muscles are very happy... And they will do it again and again... every two days ... I had a little problem with my sciatica and it is feeling so much better ... maybe a coincidence or not ... keep up the amazing work.....Thank you... God bless you...
Gold stars for you, Jules, for reminding us why we do specific exercises; e.g., calf raises to keep our legs strong for walking. Informative and good motivation. Thank you.
Dear Jules, what a brilliant, informative workout. Thanks to you adaptive push-ups are part of this 62 year old’s weekly exercise plan. Once again many thanks I feel blessed to have such a wonderful trainer. Have a great day.
Thanks so much for your feedback. I'm so glad to read that you're getting stronger after the stroke. I think I might have already shared this in a past comment, but in case I haven't, I'll add the info below: 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
Your exercise routines are so helpful for me, especially when the weather is to cold for a 3 mile walk. Thank you for taking the time to post these videos.
I loved it. I really appreciate how because of your not overwhelming strengths workouts I have regularly added doing strength training 3xs a week for 4 months now.
I have to say this is a nice short, effective workout. Personally, I often do short workouts like this for strength since I often don't have time to do more. We don't need to be working out for hours and hours to build strength.
This went perfectly with my kickboxing workout. I did stretches after both workouts but skipped the warm up on this one since I was already warmed up. It was a really good combo! Thanks Jules!
Hi Jules, It worked out great to do this at a different time of day than my regular workout! That makes me happy because I really want to do this regularly (every second day if I can) . I"m beginning to see that I really need to work on strength. Thanks for your support.
If you do strength training every second day, you will see some major strength improvements. I’m very excited for you to get stronger. Just keep in mind, proper form is more important than the weight you lift so always be mindful of safety:) One step at a time.
Thank you Jules for another great work out. I really enjoyed this even sitting down in my chair. You are so good to us seniors. Thank you and have a blessed day.
Hi Jules, this is a great short and straight to the point workout. I will start tomorrow and do it 3 times a week! What I like is that it is complete, you have the warm up-strength-stretch, all in one, so you can do this alone or start with this one and then go to the cardio/interval. Thanks for being thoughtful for this workout and for your guidance as well!
Once again, thank so much for these wonderful, easy, and effective exercises! I am most definitely benefiting from the various exercises you make available to all of us.
Hi Jules. I wanted to add some strength to my cardio so here I am. While not as challenging as your series, I used my 8 lb weights and also added a plank so it worked out well. Thanks!
I love that you challenged yourself with the heavier weights now that you have the experience and know what to do. Kudos to you for adding the plank as well!
Hi Julie’s: I do this workout 3 times a week like you suggested. I really enjoy all your workouts. Your workouts are absolutely amazing. Thanks for sharing all your workouts. I love doing your workouts 2.5 and 10,000 steps. 😀
A great strength workout! Thanks for giving enough time to change weights and get a chair! I will take your advice to do this every other day. Thank you, Jules!
@@ImprovedHealth Hi Jules, I have been following your workouts for more than three months now. Most of it are full body all in one training and the daily 11 minutes stretching that I do in the morning every day. I take the workouts with songs on the weekend giving and cheering myself more fun’s if no new video posted. So far I feel to have a more positive attitude hoping like you said that it’s not too late! And I feel more energetic and feel less tired than before. Hoping this is the gain of the workouts. Thank you Jules for your hard work to set up this channel making videos for the seniors including me and actually for all ages! Thank you🥰
@@emilyng6972 Thank you so much for your message, Emily. I am thrilled you're enjoying the workouts and working out on a regular basis. Being physically active will definitely give you more energy and I am so glad you are feeling the benefits of improved mental health, too (something we all need these days!). Thanks so much for taking the time to update me:)
@@ImprovedHealth Hi Jules, I am so thankful that my current health permits me to do exercises. I am also so thankful to spot your channel that is perfect for me! Thank you! 🥰
Hi there, I just want to say a massive thank you to you for these exercise videos. I started following you around a month ago and am already seeing a difference. I injured my back and as a result was retired through ill health and became quite sedentary and put a lot of weight on. I have been following your earlier ones and love how interactive you are and I feel like I am in the room with you. Thank you, thank you, thank you....you have changed my life 😁
Hi Ali, thank you SO much for taking the time to let me know you're enjoying the videos. I really appreciate that. I'm sorry to hear about your back. I hope the workouts will keep you wanting to move and over time, will have you become stronger and more active and hopefully they'll also help to relieve some of the back pain. 💗
Hey Jules, this one was really good! I've kind of been avoiding strength routines because my arm has been sore, but could easily adapt most of these movements, even testing my sore arm a little to see if it's improving (it is). I'm going to do this one regularly to build myself up a bit. As always, thanks!
The great thing about this workout is that it is short...10 minutes of strength training every second day will make a huge difference. I'm glad you enjoyed it, Valerie:)
I did this workout 10 months ago and a lot happened between then and now! I'm not as strong as I was then, but that's why I'm doiing it! I really look forward to continue to build strength. Thank you Jules!💪💗
I went out and bought a couple of weights today. I've been using five lbs, for everything except overhead one and my other weights were only 1 lb which just wasn't heavy enough. So I bought 3 lb weights to use until I can manage to increase the weight on overhead exercises. I'm determined to get stronger!
Yay! I am so happy to hear you purchased larger weights. 1 lb weights definitely aren't enough for a lot of these exercises. I find overall, a lot of people use weights that are too light and the benefits would be so much better if the proper amount of weight was used. Congrats for purchasing new ones! The main exercises for using the 3 lbs would be for the back row and bicep exercises.
thank you for the suggestion (with instruction how) to put the interval training with the strength training. I did it. (|). And did I say thank you? I do not see "results" - except that I am starting and finishing ... and yesterday I walked to all my errands (12000 steps in total by days end, give or take on Fitbit) and noted that going uphill was easier than it has been.
12,000 steps is fantastic! Good for you, Laurie! I'm glad to see you're doing the strength training workout...results will take a little while but they'll 100% happen in time:)
Oh yay! It's great that your husband is enjoying them, too! I search for 'tapestries' on Amazon and just choose ones I like. They're very reasonably priced.

Jules, again, you make a huge difference in my emotional & physical wellbeing, as well as for others!
Thanks for putting a smile on my face, Jane (which seems to be planted there now). Your comment is very meaningful to me.❤️
Another great workout! 50s and 60s workout followed by this. Perfect start to Lent. Thank you.
The two workouts are a great combination. I'm glad you're able to do both.
This was a great overall strength workout. I especially liked the last core exercise. Thanks, Jules.
Thanks Kathleen:)
This one is perfect when you want a short but thorough total body strength workout. Thanks!
So true...I'm so glad you enjoyed this one since it's so beneficial.
Thank you for the caution re weights for tricep kickbacks...Truly appreciate the details you go into....Gratitude❤🙏
Thank you:)
I added this to the 20 minute cardio and so got a really good workout! I feel hot and sweaty and good, all at once!
Thanks Jules!
That’s a great workout combined together. Congrats on doing both!
I have to start somewhere so here I am! I'm really thankful to have this short video to start rebuilding the strength in my arms before going back going back to the strength series. I always enjoyed it before and I enjoyed it today too! Th.ank you

SO glad to see that you're doing strength workouts!
I had a stroke a year ago and just getting stronger. Taking water aerobics also. Buy your videos are the best. Thank you

This is such a good strength workout. It worked perfectly with the 20 dance routine I did first.
Thanks Jules.
Wow! I noticed in your last comment that you might do a strength workout, too…and, you did it! Congrats Valerie!!!
I loved it. I really appreciate how because of your not overwhelming strengths workouts I have regularly added doing strength training 3xs a week for 4 months now.
3x a week is GREAT! Yay to that, Laura!
Thank you.So helpful for this senior.!
This video is so good with a cardio combined. I think I need to start doing it a little more often though to improve my strength! Thanks Jules!

Outstanding thank you
Thanks Martha:)
Thank you. Starting this tomorrow. I need to do some strength training in addition to my walking.
Good one - again. You were busy this week getting us going. Thanks
Stay save.
Busy last week and over the week-end. This week has been a bit more relaxing:)

That was great jules luv lorraine have a great weekend luv lorraine
Thanks so much, Lorraine. Wishing you a great weekend, too:)
done it thanks
thank you for the suggestion (with instruction how) to put the interval training with the strength training. I did it. (|). And did I say thank you? I do not see "results" - except that I am starting and finishing ... and yesterday I walked to all my errands (12000 steps in total by days end, give or take on Fitbit) and noted that going uphill was easier than it has been.
12,000 steps is fantastic! Good for you, Laurie! I'm glad to see you're doing the strength training workout...results will take a little while but they'll 100% happen in time:)
Thanks so much for making these work outs. My husband loves them too. BTW, where do you get the backdrops??
Oh yay! It's great that your husband is enjoying them, too! I search for 'tapestries' on Amazon and just choose ones I like. They're very reasonably priced.

Hello jules great workout luv lorraine
❤❤❤❤❤❤
I was wondering if I do this one ,is it alright to do one of your all in one workouts the next day
You can, just use lighter weights tomorrow for the all-in-one.
@@ImprovedHealth thanks so much
Hi would this work out help to strengthen your chest muscles?😊
The choice of either the push-ups or the chest press from the chair target the chest muscles.
