  • 20 minute chair stretches designed for anyone wanting to stretch from a chair rather than on the floor. These stretching exercises are gentle and safe and suitable for seniors and beginners. After a brief introduction, relaxing music will play and you can follow the instructions written out for you. This is a full body stretch from head to toe.
    These stretches cover everything from head to toe. Take 20 minutes to follow the class for pain relief or relaxation and improve your flexibility at the same time.
    Wishing you improved health,
    Jules

    Jules, I did this last night before bed and was able to get up this morning and make my bed.....something I want to do as soon as I wake up but I'm usually so stiff that I can't until later in the morning......feeling waaay more limber after a restful night....this HAS to be my before bed routine....thank you for a great stretch and quiet music..lovely.

      Oh wow! Thank you so much for sharing your experience with me, Bonnie. Often injuries and pain are due to lack of flexibility so I am super happy to read that you noticed a difference:)

    Wow, this was wonderful. This slow seated stretch is just what I needed. It really got into some "nooks and crannies" that needed a gentle wake up. I'm dealing with neck/hip/lower back issues (from a car accident) and put in some complaining knees makes many videos undoable for me, so being seated was very helpful for me. I could focus and slow controlled movement, with little worry of "tweaking" something. I do wish the little bell went off with each movement, since sometimes I would just close my eyes. But glad it was there for many of them - it was a nice touch. Thank you for this video.

    • @ImprovedHealth
      @ImprovedHealth  4 месяца назад

      Thank you very much for your feedback. I'm sometimes afraid of the bell annoying people so I only use it when I feel it's definitely needed, but I think I need to start including it regularly when a stretch is completed. I have a new channel dedicated to chair workouts along with seated stretches so I'm going to add the link for you. I hope you enjoy some of the videos: youtube.com/@ImprovedHealthChairWorkouts

Plus, I also didn't find much for seniors online when I looked and I knew it was something I could create and provide. And, I'm not that young...turned 50 last month. My kids tell me I'm old.😉

    Hi from Italy. I want to thank you very much for this and all the other videos you have made with chair exercises! I already followed you with the standing videos and then I wrote to you that I have had 3 major back operations and am 67% disabled because I have 3 rods of titanium and 26 screws. Because my doctor said it is better not to do standing exercises anymore, I have been following your chair exercise programs for a month now. (7 days of training, stretching and total training) And they are fantastic! I feel good, I have become more flexible and above all my neurosurgeon and my therapist are very satisfied, because I have clearly improved (it can also be seen on the X-rays). Thank you again and don't stop making new chair exercise videos!
    (Question: have you also made a video with more glutes exercises? Because I often sit, I would like to train those muscles)
    Sylvia

      I'm so glad to read that you're getting stronger using these videos! In case you haven't seen it, I'll add the link to my other chair channel: youtube.com/@ImprovedHealthChairWorkouts
      I have included some glute exercises within the various seated workouts, but I can't remember which videos they are in. As for making new videos, I will get back to adding seated ones again on the new channel. I've just been a bit swamped with life outside of YT (I work full-time and have two pre-teen girls). I'll create new ones when I can.

    I return to this stretch set many times. It would be lovely if you could do another one of about this length and include some verbal cues as it is hard to be stretching and watching at the same time. Thank you.💕

    Thanks for all your wonderful classes. I did the 10 min walk followed by a seated stretching class as I am recovering from a lower back strain. Any tips on preventing such an injury would be greatly appreciated. I am 61 years young. I also enjoyed reading your article on people with advanced dementia as my 89 year old father suffers from this condition. Many thanks Margaret

    • @ImprovedHealth
      @ImprovedHealth  3 года назад +1

      Hi Margaret, thanks for your comment. I am working on a new video soon for activities for dementia...I hope it helps with your dad. As for lower back pain, from all the research I read is continue to move and exercise and definitely stretch. I am creating a new chair exercise class on covering lower back exercises, too.

    I love your Chair Stretches video for Seniors! I love the music and that you do not talk through the stretches. I have recommended it to a number of my friends. The wonderful thing about this video is that it can also be a form of meditation. The only problem that we have is having to keep our eyes on the tv to know when to change positions. The beeps you have on some the stretches is so helpful in keeping us in that peaceful state of mind. Would it be possible to add that to all the stretches?

    • @ImprovedHealth
      @ImprovedHealth  4 месяца назад +1

      Thanks so much for your helpful feedback (and for sharing my channel with others!). I'm unable to add anything in after the videos go up, but I will add the beeps in future stretching videos.

    • @ImprovedHealth
      @ImprovedHealth  2 года назад

      I am so excited for you to be changing your lifestyle to be more active. Good for you for starting this journey! I look forward to hearing about your progress. Even though I market my channel to seniors, it is definitely suitable for all ages of people who want to start slowly with exercise. The intermediate workouts can be challenging, even for people in their 20's if they are new to exercise. One day, one step at a time.❤️

      I have done this once or twice a day for four days now and really love the relaxing stretches. I also love the quiet music! One tiny suggestion: add the beeps at the end of every exercise so that I can just close my eyes and take it all in. Thanks for getting me stretching again!

      Thank you! 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.
