Felling a bit sore and tight today. Found this and loved it. Feelas euphoric as an aerobic workout.
Thanks
Yesterday I was busy all day and kept having reasons/excuses for not exercising … finally decided to do ‘something’ before going to bed. I tuned in to spend 30 minutes with you. It was time well spent and I thank you! I think that this will be my new bedtime routine. 👍
Kudos to you for prioritizing your health today! I'm so glad that you enjoyed it and plan to do it regularly. I'll add my new chair channel for you since I now upload chair workouts to my second channel: youtube.com/@ImprovedHealthChairWorkouts
Thanks❤
Jules, you saved me from myself. I thought I was too tired to exercise but when this popped up on my RUclips I decided to give it a try and got all of it done. I loved it. I will do this on other days when I feel too tired. The variety was wonderful and so was the pace. Thank you.
I'm so glad that you decided to give this one a try. Seated workouts are great workouts. On days when you're tired, the gentle workouts are great for working on range of motion and flexibility which is really important to focus on as we age. In case you haven't seen it, I started a second channel for chair workouts and now upload all of my chair workouts to the other channel: youtube.com/@ImprovedHealthChairWorkouts
Always love doing this class. Thank you Jules
Thank you for letting me know that. I'll attach my other channel link in case you haven't seen it: youtube.com/@ImprovedHealthChairWorkouts
Thank you Jules I love Classic music and the way you take a good care for the seniors Good bless you ♥️🙏😁🇲🇶
Thank you, Lise.❤️
Thank you ❤
God Bless You. I have just started these. I already in just a few days I can feel the difference. Thank You.
I am so glad to read that you're feeling a difference already. 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. 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.
Thank you! Tremendous therapy for my broken arm!
Ouch! I hope it heals quickly for you, Janet!
Many Thanks, 🥰
UK: Excellent for me, in wheelchair. Much appreciated ❤

Brilliant, thanks ❤
Thank you and Greetings from Austria😊
Thank you Jules!
Thank you Jules ❤
Just what I needed. Thank you I have been diagnosed with FND and needed a seated exercise routine to get me back to mobility.
Thanks Jules, my back is still sore, so I was careful. I chose gentle chair to loosen up. Tenant meeting today, and they told us exercise class is starting May 8th. The teacher I believe is a licensed exercise therapist for arthritis. I’ll let you know how it is. Once my back is better will start back on the daily strength exercises. Mostly doing walking for now.
That's great news about the exercise instructor coming to your building! When you do exercise with me, I would suggest to stick with the gentle workouts if you have any back issues.
Thank you for this chair exercises that was perfect to me today, my rainy day! I am thankful for different workouts that I can choose from your website to suit my needs. 😊
Thanks for letting me know that you enjoyed it, Emily.
Thanks Jules!This exercises that was perfect to me now.
Health and safety
Many thanks Julie's God bless you
Thank you!
Well Jules I just did this longer workout and it was ABSOLUTELY WONDERFUL!! I wasn't expecting the little cardio, but I did it all. The workout, music, and the saying posted at the end was great. I thank you for all of it !!!
I'm very happy to read your comment, Vicki and so glad that you really enjoyed it. Thank you for letting me know. I definitely appreciate it.💖
Thanks for sharing ❤🎉
I did this workout this morning. I had a previous appointment on Thursday so I made sure I did this workout this morning and and so glad I did. Thanks Jules.
Thanks Laura. I'm glad to read this one worked for you.
The session was just the right length and intensity for me. I did feel a little sleepy afterwards.
Hello Jules, I revisisted this one today and loved it as much as I did the first time. Hope you keep making new videos for us so we don't get bored. I do have some favorites that I repeat, it is nice to have a variety to choose from . I do so appreciate all your efforts to help us keep moving. Thank you so very much!!!!!
Thank you for your super lovely comment. I’ll have an announcement soon about the seated workouts. Stay tuned!
I see, Jules, that you are trying very hard to make sure that we are not bored :)
Sometimes in the mornings or during the day nothing a person wants to do, or can not.
These exercises are very good for everyone, because they do not tire at all, and they are well designed. Thank you very much.💛
These ones are definitely designed for people who want a gentle workout that moves and stretches the body in a gentle and safe way:)
@@ImprovedHealth Thanks.🙂
Thank you from Québec. Good choice of music. I love Classic music.You are lovely and good for Take care the seniors. God bless you. Actually it’s my favorite vidéo ❤️👏🥰😁🇲🇶
Good morning! My husband is using some of your gentle workouts for his mother. She's 87 and has very limited mobility, so this is perfect! Thanks Jules!! Oh, yes...music is VERY difficult! 😆 But comforting!! 😘😘
Super! Thanks for letting me know, Linda.
Bonjour Linda, top !
This was encouraging. I was able to follow instructions well. I felt guided. I was able to stretch out some muscles that were a bit stiff. Thank you sooo much this was great.
Excelente, gracias
i just done this chair excuse before i get into bed.i haven't got a chair up stairs so i sat on the side of my bed with a foot stool really enjoyed doing it I'm hoping i might sleep a bit better.thank you 😀 xx
I’m impressed, Jean! I hope the gentle movement helped.
Good Morning Jules: great workout. I live this gentle workout.It’s nice to do easy workouts. Thanks. 😅😅😅
Fun to have classical music for once….this is a good alternate for my fav Abba workout and got my heart rate up too.
Thanks for your feedback on the music. I try to change it up when I can to provide variety.
Thank you so very much for this video. It is perfect for me. I am 83 years old and am trying to keep my body (such as it is) lol, moving. It has gotten harder to find an exercise video that combines everything and is easy enough for me to do without hurting myself. This one is perfect. You have made an old lady very happy. Keep up the good work. I love all of your work.
Thank you very much for your great comment, Judy. I am absolutely thrilled to know you're enjoying the workouts and finding them beneficial. Kudos to you for taking care of yourself by exercising. And about being old...hopefully I'll get to be old one day, too (not everyone gets to be).😉You're doing what you can to stay young and mobile and that is awesome. 🥰
Thanks so much!
Thanks!
Thanks Jules! My husband and I started doing your exercises for limited mobility and we really enjoy them. We don't get to them every day, but definitely more than we were doing before. I have shared your link to a few friends & family.
Hi Betty, thanks so much for letting me know that you're both enjoying the workouts and a HUGE thank you for sharing my channel with others. Just so you know, I also started a second channel dedicated to chair workouts and will add the link for you here: youtube.com/@ImprovedHealthChairWorkouts
Thanks
Your chair exercises are the best of the best for lulling my friends into moving. Best of all, because you give so many choices for modification, they're willing to stick with you. The toes up and the knee lift to kick were new (to me) and fun. As always, there's a ginormous thank to you.
Thank you so much for sharing these with your friends. I definitely appreciate that.
@@ImprovedHealth Believe me, it's my pleasure. In addition to keeping my friends around longer with improved health, the seated sessions give me the opportunity to try workouts I might skip. I simply do them standing up!
Thank u for this my residents love this i am an activities assistant and we needed something more motivating for exercise in alf and rcf😊
Thanks for introducing your residents to my workouts, Alexis. I'll add my other seated channel for you since I now upload all new chair workouts to the other channel: youtube.com/@ImprovedHealthChairWorkouts
Thanks for your work
That is the first exercise routine I have ever enjoyed and boy do I need improvement with my mobility, so thank you I'm looking forward to doing this regularly 😀👌

My back has been hurting all week, but movement is medicine and this kinda of movement was perfect for me today!! Thanks, Jules! 😅
Great choice of video when your back is hurting. I hope the movements helped.
Loved this ones. Woke up to a RA glare and it helped my body relax and move a little easier : thank you for your commitment to making all these great videos
I'm so glad to read that you're doing these exercises with RA. I actually just recorded a new video yesterday for arthritis and will have it up in the next few weeks on my 'chair workout' channel. Just in case you didn't know, I recently launched a second YT channel dedicated to chair workouts. All of these workouts will stay here, but all new uploads for chair workouts will go to the new channel. Here's the link if you're interested: www.youtube.com/@ImprovedHealthChairWorkouts
Loved this one!! I really enjoyed the combo exercises b/c I am working my brain as well as my body. Thanks so much for what you do GF! I REALLY APPRECIATE all of your videos!
I'm so glad to read that you're enjoying my workouts. Thank you for letting me know.
🙏🙏🙏
I've begun to look forward to these seated workouts, also, Jules! Sitting with good posture, for 30 mins and going through the range of motions, can be quite challenging, I've realised. ' Find myself slumping like a sack of potatoes, after a few mins:) and have to pull myself straight.
Thank you for an incredible session💙, appreciate the thought and efforts put into it🙏
Thanks Anuradha. I do find the seated workouts definitely make us focus on enjoying movement and improving ROM and posture. I'm glad you feel the benefits from them.
@@ImprovedHealth Thank YOU...🙏
Great workout!!!❤❤ deb
How wonderful to start the morning with such a great exercise .thank you so much .🦋🙏🌈
Thanks for letting me know that you enjoyed it:)
Thankyou, madam❤
Thank you so much. this will be my go to video from now on. Feel so good and the classical music background is so soothing.
Thank you for letting me know that you liked this one. I have more like it in the 'gentle level' playlists here, and on my new channel: youtube.com/@ImprovedHealthChairWorkouts
Loved it I did the workout standing super.
I love how you modify them.
❤
This was great! I recently pulled a muscle in my right shoulder doing a weight workout, so I need to take it easy for now. This was perfect. Thanks 😊💗
Thanks for letting me know that this routine helped. I hope your shoulder improves quickly for you.
@@ImprovedHealth Thank you! 😊💕
Evening jules just done this chair work out really enjoyed it thank you ❤❤
Thanks for your feedback, Jean.❤️
Wheelchair non weight baring for 3 months, but still able to upper body!! I love your nonsense just get on with it attitude instead of talking... long may you reign 😅❤
Aw, thank you, Bridget. You know about my other chair channel, right?
Thank you for this video,and the music was so relaxing! Have a Happy 4th of July, 2023!
Thanks Brenda! I'm in Canada so we celebrated Canada Day on July 1st. One of these days I'd like to be in the US to enjoy July 4th there in person. Wishing YOU a happy July 4th:) In case you haven't seen the new channel I launched last week, you can find it here: youtube.com/@ImprovedHealthChairWorkouts
Jules beautiful music to accompany this wonderful video. Thank you for such an excellent channel. God bless you. Love from Ky.
Your comment is incredibly meaningful. Thank you Tamson.💖
@@ImprovedHealth Thank you so much. You are so uplifting.
Tq dear, i enjoy it
Thanks for letting me know!
Awesome workout!!! Thank you. ❤❤😂deb
Thanks Deb!
Thanks jules that was a fun workout ❤luv lorraine
With the chamber music I felt like I was exercising with the ladies from the show Bridgerton. 😬 It was really nice though!
Lol, I'm glad to know you enjoyed it:)
Great exercises Videos, Thank you can I use them in a nursing home?
Absolutely! 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. If you're using these in a nursing home, the 'gentle' level would be best.
I also started a second channel dedicated to chair workouts and will add the link for you here: youtube.com/@ImprovedHealthChairWorkouts
Lastly, I upload all of the workouts from both channels to my website at www.improvedhealthforseniors.com
I hope that helps and I hope the residents enjoy the exercise classes.
The music puts me to sleep. thanks.
I’m not sure if that’s a good thing! Choosing the music for my chair workouts is always a challenge since I feel there is a range of ages that watch them. If I put music that has too much beat, I get comments saying it’s annoying. Always a challenge but I’ll keep trying to find music that I hope will be enjoyable.
Jules your exercises are very effective. I enjoy them. Don't get me wrong. I like classical music. Both my brothers were violinists and we are from a musical family.
By the way, I am from Australia. Thanks again. Continue with your good work. God bless you. 🎤
I understand. The music was so soothing. You are doing an excellent job. Please don''t mind my comment. God bless.👍
@@margaretyan9502 I wasn't offended:) I'm glad you're enjoying the workouts, Margaret. And, by the way, I LOVE Australia (backpacked there for 7 months in my mid-20's).
Australia is a lovely country. Where are you now?
Are your exercises good for lymphedema of the arm? I think they help.
Hi, I'm so happy to have found you and enjoyed this workout. I am interested in sharing it with my seniors group. I would have to cut it short though. Do you have any set to classical music that are just 15 min?
Thanks Cindy. I don't think I have a shorter one with the classical music...but, I've just written it down on my list of videos to create. I'll see what I can do.
That was a wonderful workout and wonderful music! Thank you! I love your light blue shirt. May I ask if you got it at Banana Republic?
Thanks Karen. I bought the shirt a few months ago at Under Armour. They had it in a bunch of different colours and likely still have it.
UK 81yrs, just for feedback, I would like countdown visible on screen 😅
Thanks for your helpful feedback.
Very nice video but can't hear the music
Would like to know your name , our senior excise group is wanting to know. Thanks
It's Jules (or Julie). I go by both:) Please say hello to your group for me! And in case you haven't seen my new channel, I'll add the link for you here: www.youtube.com/@ImprovedHealthChairWorkouts
I play your exercise video for my resident in the nursing home and this one was just too fast paced for them
Thank you for your feedback. I work with some very frail seniors and will think about creating an easier one catered to nursing home residents.
The music was to loud, it was distracting…but, I did enjoy the workout
Thank you for the feedback. I'll keep that in mind for future workouts. It's always a fine line with the music.
Thank you Jules!
Thanks
Thanks Jules!This exercises that was perfect to me now.
Thanks Mila. I appreciate your comment.💖
Thanks
