To see more classes offered on this channel, click on the logo beside 'Improved Health for Seniors'. Once you click on the logo you'll be directed to the main channel page. You'll see titles saying 'home', 'videos', 'playlists'. If you click on the 'playlists', you'll see videos put into different categories based on chair and standing exercise levels. Also, if you go to 'videos', you'll see every video I've created and uploaded. I'd like to ask you to PLEASE SUBSCRIBE by hitting the red 'subscribe' button and PLEASE hit the 'thumbs up' button if you liked the video. It doesn't cost a thing and it's completely private from other viewers (you'll never hear from me unless you comment under a video). If you click the bell beside the subscribe button, you'll get a notification any time I upload a new video. Hope this helps as I know a lot of viewers struggle to understand RUclips and how to see all of the videos offered. Lastly, for newbies on RUclips, you'll see a little down arrow just under the video on the right side. If you click the arrow, you'll be able to read the description explaining what the video is about. I would truly appreciate you subscribing and hitting that thumbs up button! Thanks in advance:) Jules
This is a perfect video for an older beginner (me). I appreciate the fact that’s it’s not too long. Thank you!
Thank you and 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. 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
I hope that helps and I hope you enjoy more of the workouts when you try them out.
I sometimes do one of your stretching series different times during the day when I feel stiff or to loosen up the arthritis. Thanks for what you do. I tried other peoples workouts before I found you and could never keep up. You do a lot for us older women.
Thank you so much for telling me that, Phyllis. I appreciate knowing that. And, glad to see you are focusing on flexibility as well.
Thanks again!
Thanks for good help!
Thank you Jules! This one has become my first stretch of the day - my 77 year old muscles really appreciate you!
I am SO glad, Pam...and I appreciate that you take the time to comment.❤️
Jules,❤thank you for this great stretch.I needed it so much.
Thank you for your nice comment:) I'll be adding a new one to my chair channel soon.
This is a great wake up, warm up set of stretches!
Thank you! You can find lots more like these in the 'stretching' playlists. I also recently started a second channel dedicated to chair workouts which I'll add here for you: www.youtube.com/@ImprovedHealthChairWorkouts
Thank you Julie! Another great video that was just right!! I found you a couple of months ago... in my 50's and in the worst shape ever. With your wonderful videos, I started with the chair exercises & stretches to get some mobility back, and feel better (I was feeling frail compared to years of better physical condition). Together (you & me) we did it! I'm back to brisk walking again!! Now, when I want a quick, gentle stretch or take a movement break- I go right to your channel and always find just what I need! Thank you thank you thank you for caring for so many unseen people in the world... I presume you started to help clients and others during the pandemic... BUT you have kept going and I'm very grateful! May God continue to bless your efforts and care for others!!
I can’t even begin to tell you how meaningful your comment is to me. I read it over several times just to let your words sink in so I could appreciate them more. I feel incredibly happy to be able to make a positive difference in people’s health. Thank you SO much for letting me know how the videos have helped. Also, I am absolutely thrilled and happy for you to be walking again and for taking care of your body. I love how you wrote that we did it together.🥰
Glad to find this channel-low on unnecessary chatter and strong on exercise.
Thank you! In case you haven't seen it, I launched a new channel this past summer which is dedicated to chair workouts: www.youtube.com/@ImprovedHealthChairWorkouts
Stretching is the new religion for me. Thank you, Charlie in Syracuse NY
thank you so much. 10 mins is the amount of time with my ADD that I can actually stick with your video. I was in rehab over a year ago and slowing stopped stretching and exercising, my physician encouraged me to go back and do regular exercises/stretching so I am so pleased to find this video.
Welcome to my channel! I'm so glad to read that you're starting back with exercise. If you look at my playlists, you'll find all of the workouts broken into different categories. If you need any help finding particular workouts, let me know and I can help you navigate the site. You can also find all of my workouts on my website at www.improvedhealthforseniors.com
Thank you and you look so pretty today...love the back drop.
Thank you for your kind compliment.
This felt sooooooo good - thank you :)
Thanks for your great feedback, Lesley.❤️
Thank you Jules!
Excellent stretch when my time is limited. Great after doing dishes. Thank you from Charlie in Syracuse New York.
This was a necessary complement to earlier strength training. My arms love, love, love (what I call the "Indiana Jones stretch") pushing imaginary walls away. Well done with the reminder to breathe!!!!!
A great way to finish my workout this morning. Thanks Jules. x
Hi Jules, i did this twice 1 in the morning and 2nd one in evening. In the afternoon i did a walking one
You're soon going to be super flexible with stretching daily, Carol!
Thanks!
No. Is it here on RUclips under chair exercises? Appreciate your mentioning it. I'm doing more , so I will check them out. We just bought the Florida State Park Pass today. Planning on lots of walks too! I need to lose 40 more pounds, after the 96 I've lost already. Not easy, but I'm one determined woman! I'll get there!! 😁
It's great to read that you bought the pass...definitely wonderful to get out into nature when you can. Congrats on the loss of 96 pounds!!! Amazing! I love your determination and it sounds like you can do anything you set your mind to. Here's the link to the seated channel: www.youtube.com/@ImprovedHealthChairWorkouts
@@ImprovedHealth
Thanks, 😊 I've never given up, despite a lot of health challenges for myself and husband over the years. Ones like you have helped me keep going! Your new channel looks great! I will start on them soon. Thanks again. You're the best! 👏
Hi Jules - I feel so relaxed now. Love doing your stretches! You're the best! Thank you. 🫶
Thank you!!! Have you seen my new ones on the new chair channel?
Best complete body stretch! I didn’t have to try to twist into a pretzel. You hold the stretches for adequate amount of time. This will be the stretch routine I use daily.
Thanks for the positive feedback:)
Thank you for the constant reminder to breath and add more stretch, this is why I like the talking video,I don’t need to look at the screen and lose my form. Good job.
Thanks Carmen. I'm working on some new stretching videos with talking:)
Thank you Jules, again!
Thanks😮
Thank you
This was a nice stretching routine following today’s Series 2 workout!
Enjoyed the stretching
Excellent, i do this with my father, i'm 51 he is 94 and this works for both of us before we do our daily walk
I’m thrilled to hear it works for both of you. Congrats to your dad for staying active at 94! Thanks for commenting:)
Hello Jules, thanks for this stretching session, really worked for me (I’m from Flanders (Europe) and in Dutch we would say ’dit heeft echt goed gedaan’).
Just to be honest, I read some of the other comments, all from women, while I am a 68 yr old male... if this is a problem, please say so ; I will blame RUclips anyway, because you popped up in my daily suggestions, lol.
In one of your early videos (an easy 10 min walking exercise) you asked for our opinions or suggestions. If there is one thing I could ask, it would be fewer ’no talking’ vids. Having someone explain moves and stretches clearly, def makes a difference and simply is more pleasant imo.
Anyway, thanks again, off to do the breathing & mindfulness part of this routine, bye !
Hi Luc, I had Dutch relatives over from The Netherlands a few weekends ago:) I mostly create no-talking workouts now simply because that is what is more popular with my viewers. I do have a second channel for chair workouts where I do give verbal instruction because it's preferable on that channel. I'll add the link for you in case you're interested. Btw, on my website, I also have a playlist that has videos with instruction. That might help you to find the ones you might prefer, too. www.improvedhealthforseniors.com
Chair channel: youtube.com/@ImprovedHealthChairWorkouts
Thank you Jules! I am working my way through all your seated videos - these stretches are excellent! (just as an aside, I think blue is your color!
I'm glad that you're trying each of them out. They're all a little bit different so it's nice to try different stretches to see what is helpful. Thanks for the compliment about the blue colour:)
Still my go to stretch. Thank you. Charlie from Syracuse NY
Thanks Jules! My husband wants to know about specific stretches for golfers. He’s 73, has a pacemaker and is now working on flexibility.
Most of my stretching routines cover lower and upper body which would definitely give him a good routine. My suggestion is for him to try some of them, see which ones he likes and then try to do a stretching routine daily. I’ll have a new seated one up in the next few weeks on the chair channel.
Thanks for this gentle, awesome stretch chair exercise🙌🏽❤️
I have more on my other channel, too, in case you're interested: youtube.com/@ImprovedHealthChairWorkouts
Thank you Jules! I really appreciate you! The seated stretches are so effective!
Thanks for saying that, Pam. I appreciate your comments:)
Love this. So much better for me and my wife to do
Thank you and welcome to my channel! You can find all of my seated workouts categorized into the playlists under 3 levels: gentle, beginner and intermediate. I also recently launched a second channel dedicated to chair workouts if you're interested where all new chair uploads will go to. I'll add the link here: www.youtube.com/@ImprovedHealthChairWorkouts
@@ImprovedHealth we just subscribed. Thank you. We need to start out slow. I am a disabled vet er with a bad back and my wife and I need to be careful to not do something that will set me back or her too. 😀
I truly hope the workouts work well for you. Using the gentle workout playlists will likely be best to start. My suggestion is to avoid any exercise that you think might bother your back. Thank you for what you have done for us and for the freedom we have, Rick.@@RickandDarcirvadventures
@@ImprovedHealth you’re welcome and thank you
Always a treat to do this one of your sessions. Thank you very much. Charlie, still in Syracuse NY
Glad to see you're still here, Charlie! In case you didn't see the notice, I officially launched a new chair workout channel a few days ago. I'll be uploading a new chair workout weekly on Thursdays. The old routines will stay here, but any new upload for chair workouts will go on the new channel. www.youtube.com/@ImprovedHealthChairWorkouts
Love the 10 minute sessions for when time is tight. Thank you. Charlie from Syracuse NY.
Hi Jules.....Started week 3 of the Walk the Weight Off, I can already see some good come out of this workout, also did the Ab workout and I see another Ab workout I will have to try that also. Did this stretch workout to finish out the day. I will be checking out these news for core and stretch, it really feels good at the end of the day. Glad to hear your weather is warming up, we have some good some bad, it just can't make up it's mind.....anyway have a super rest of your day and I'll be for day 2.....take care and God Bless.....Anne
I'm glad to read that you are starting to see a difference from the interval series...it often doesn't take long to really see change from those series.
Jules that was a great workout luv lorraine❤😂😂
Stritching is great
Thank you, Lorraine.
This is vintage, Jules...enjoyed stretching out with you 🥰...Yes, I sometimes tend to hold my breath, especially while stretching ...appreciate your gentle reminders to BREATHE😄Thank you🙏
I sometimes look at my older videos and they seem so ancient to me now!
@@ImprovedHealth But still invaluable to us🤗... you've come a long way, and so much to offer yet...best, always❤️
Thank you Jules! First stretch done!
I needed this today!
Quick I love it
Thanks! I have some new seated stretching routines on my new channel if you're interested: youtube.com/@ImprovedHealthChairWorkouts
I did this with my students. They loved it.
That's great! I'm happy to hear they loved it. Thanks so much for letting me know.
Best stretches thank you. Jules you are amazing.
Aww, you are very kind. Thanks Martha. 💗💗💗
Thanks
Great video - the modified lizard pose near the end is new to me and stretched my quads out, thank you!
Thanks for your feedback. I'll add the link to my new chair channel in case you're interested: www.youtube.com/@ImprovedHealthChairWorkouts
My go to stretch after shoveling snow. Thank you. Charlie in Syracuse NY⛄️
I put a new one out today for lower back which would be helpful after shoveling, too:)
Perfect end of day stretch for a total beginner like me, thank you very much for making and sharing this. :)
Thank you for taking the time to comment.
Excellent thank you 🙏
Glad it was helpful! Thanks for the comment:)
Thank you for this session. Charlie, stretching in Syracuse NY.
This felt so good after the 30 minute cardio workout! Thanks!
I'm glad to read that. Thanks for sharing:)
This was short but sweet. I like that I was able to do at work to release some stress. Thank U!!
Thanks! There is a 30 minute stretching class if you do want a longer one.
Excelente !!!
Thank you for the stretches. Trying to get some movement in post-op!
Great to see that you're doing cardio and stretching:)
I really do love these stretching exercises
Thanks for letting me know, Stacy:)
I love this thorough stretch! Even if I do some other workout I do this stretch.
I love stretching. It's always a great finish after a good workout. I'm glad to hear you enjoy this video:)
Many, many thanks! You have helped me tremendously!
I am very happy to read your comment. Thanks for letting me know that, Debby.❤️
Another great video! 🤍
Love it! Thanks 😊 🙋🏻♀️💐🙏
As always your sessions have a positive effect on me. Thank you. Charlie from Syracuse NY.
Thank you so much for telling me that, Charlie. ❤️
Thanks Jules God Bless
Strenuous work at the local soup kitchen requires stretches like yours. Thank you. Charlie in Syracuse NY.
Good for you for volunteering, Charlie. It sounds like the soup kitchens are busy these days with the increase in prices.
Outstanding! Thank you.
Thanks Nancy.😊
Your sessions are the best. Mostly moving and breathing while you talk. Very few pauses. Thank you from Charlie in Syracuse NY
Thanks once again, Charlie:)
I haven’t done a seated stretch before. This was great! Thanks!
It's amazing how seated stretches can also be super effective:)
Great stretches, really felt good afterwards. Thank you. Charlie in Syracuse NY
Thank you! It’s true…stretching definitely feels good and we often don’t realize how much we need it until we’ve done it.
Another very satisfying stretch, Jules. A bit different from the others but I crave variety so I was pleasantly surprised. It looks as though you gave us a taste of a small portion of Santorini, Greece. I've been there. It was magical, as were so many of the islands there that I traversed by sailboat. Thank you for the stretch and the panorama!...Anastasia
Thanks Anastasia. Yes, loved Greece too. Such a magical country to visit.
Thank you!
Love this. stretching is the thing I need most. Thanks so much
Thanks Julie!
Very good
Thanks Ann:)
@improvedhealth Thank you for these stretches Jules. It's a great accompaniment to your BeeGees workout. I had a awesome workout session, thank you.
Thanks so much for letting me know that you enjoyed the workouts, Evon. I appreciate it!
Excellent. Thank you
Thank you!
Wonderful stretching routine. I did it after one of your 20 minute walking workouts. BTW, I have a painting of that scene behind you on the wall of my family room!
Thanks Kathleen! Greece is a beautiful place to be…love the scene, too.
very nice 👍
Jules, where is the logo? You said beside improved health, not sure where to look 🤔. I need to find more stretching for glutes.
Thanks Jules I need to do more stretching. ❤❤😊😊
How many days should I do stretching?
You can do stretching every day...I recommend it actually! I think I already added the link in an earlier comment but I'll include it again just in case. I would suggest choosing a different stretching routine each day so that way you get in a variety of stretches: youtube.com/@ImprovedHealthChairWorkouts
@ImprovedHealth Thank you so much. You have helped me a lot 💗 .
Good night!
Done! See you tomorrow
I wish the local YMCA had not removed all the chairs from the lobby. We gather there to wait for our group of runners and walkers to assemble and we could be stretching using chairs. You have a standing stretch right? Love all of your sessions that I have done. Thank you, Charlie in Syracuse NY.
I don't have a standing stretch video simply because I find most people on my channel want the seated stretch. I could create one, though.
@@ImprovedHealth Thanks. Your right. Most of the folks I know are over 70 but still active with hip and knee replacements. Chair stretches work well. I think that once Covid backs off the lobby will have no room for chairs. The locker rooms have chairs. I was just trying to fill the void in the lobby since Y attendance has dropped so much. Moving forward with hope. Thanks for responding.
@@charliegowing9471 Just so I understand, are you following the stretches on a device while you're in the lobby?
@@ImprovedHealth No no. I stretch at home in a chair. I was just blue skying, what if the running and walking group could sit in a part of the Y lobby and chair stretch before going out. We do stretch standing up before going out. Please put no stock in something being planned for the lobby involving chair stretching. I was just doing a “what if”.
Hello. I enjoyed your stretch video. Tiana I Can Only Be Me Vlogs sent me.
I really enjoyed ya stretching 🙆🏾♀️ I will give this a try thanks.😀Tiana I can only be me VLOGS!! sent me over.👍🏾
Thank you! More 'no talking' videos will be out every Monday.
Love the video and Tiana I can only be me sent me here
Thank you!!! Hope you enjoy the other classes as well.
Please add the complete credits for the music including the links to your description, this is part of the deal!
100%. I thought I had and will be sure to add it.
@@ImprovedHealth thanks!♥️
The two tracks 'Heartwarming' and 'Keys to Nostalgia' are now credited. Again thank you very much for the fantastic music.

what is the MET value for the Seated Chair Stretches?
This isn't something I keep track of since I focus more on healthy movement, not calories burned (also because every body is different and the calories burned wouldn't be the same for everyone).
Thank you I came over from Tiana I can only be me channel thank you.
Welcome! I hope you find workouts that work well for you. Let me know if there are particular workouts you would like to see in the future.
Nothing to hard for me 🤗🌍
Hello Tiana I can only be me sent us here for your exercises.
That's great! I hope you find classes you enjoy. 'No talking' low impact classes will be uploaded every Monday. Stay tuned!
how many calories are burned during this 10 minute stretch?
Hi! Sorry but I can't answer your question. I don't keep track of the calories burned. The point of the stretching videos is to work on flexibility and range of motion.
I came over from Tiana_icanonlybeme channel !
TIANAICANONLYBEME sent me to your channel. Really enjoyed it.
