Surgery up date. Had my bilateral knee replacement on May 21 home 24. Up walking day two. Everything is going so well minimal discomfort. Left leg hardly know had surgery Right leg quad muscle weaker more swollen. But coming alone. I thank you Julie for your great support inspiration and your seated videos for my ability to bounce back so quick. I can’t wait to be able to do your videos again but without pain and limitations
Update I am 10 days post op up walking round my house with and without crutches. Start physio next week. Doing a few calf raises and sit to stands on my own. I am kicking but can’t wait to comment in near future back doing chair exercise regularly and even doing standing one in a year or sooner
As an instructor, you are unparalleled, Jules and your videos are so well put together. I loved doing this workout with you because I've learned from YOU how to modify it to suit my requirements. Thank you ever so much 🙏💖💐
Another good one Jules. Sorry I haven’t been doing the videos lately. I pulled a chest muscle when I was working the polls last November. Been doing the exercise class on Wednesday. When teacher had to get hip replacement, we had a sub. Really nice Yoga teacher that works the senior center. Cause of the weather our teacher didn’t show yesterday. I really needed something for my legs. Will try and do more of your videos again.
@@ImprovedHealthChairWorkouts I’m definitely adding this one to the rotation then! At this point, I’m going to have to actually write down which days to do which videos! 🤣 I’m really enjoying going through them & figuring out what I can do easily vs what is challenging. It lets me know where I need to be focusing more on!
@@ImprovedHealthChairWorkouts I’m back & checking in!!! It’s been 2 days so I figured it was time to do this routine again!! It was a little easier this time!! Still can’t do the cross-legged stretch cause I can’t get my ankles up to my knees (my thighs are too thick). 🤣🤣 But one day!!
Yay!! So this is the 3rd time I’ve done this workout & I was finally able to do both sets of standing calf raises!!! 🥰🥰 Small progress but still progress!!!
Wow Jules, just found out why exercise teacher didn’t come. Service coordinator told me, because only two or three people showing up for class, it has been canceled. Next Wednesday going to walk to senior center to take yoga class that’s at 11am to 12. People would rather be sick, disabled and tied to doctor on lots of meds. Sad so sad! Well I have your videos to do. I used my phone cause it was easier than setting up laptop.
I agree, Cheryl. It's a shame people don't prioritize their health:( They truly don't understand how they are shortening their lives and decreasing their quality of life down the road as well. All we can do is encourage people and continue to educate.
Thanks for this. Doing pre op appointment next Friday for double knee surgery hopefully within 10 weeks want kegs as strong as can be. Any other videos that focus more on just leg strength or that would be more helpful? please tag me
Hi Cathy, sorry for my late reply. Let me know what level is best for you (gentle or beginner), and how long of a workout you're looking for. This video is definitely a good choice. Adding in extra sit-to-stands each day will help to get your legs stronger, too (if your knees can handle it).
Thanks for replying Julie. I have very little pain mine is all stiffness beginner is great. I can do sit to stands pushing up with hands on side of chair. Hoping with new knees will learn to stand up without any assistance might try doing them with a walker or chair in front of me using that for leverage. Any suggestions how to build up strength to be able to get off toilet and chair normally would be appreciated Have a great day off to my pre op appointment
@@cathyforbes9751 Hi Cathy, I'm going to attach a few links to the different leg strengthening videos I have. There are plenty of leg exercises to get stronger, and you can definitely modify all of them using a chair for support. For the lunges, you can do mini-lunges by bringing a leg back with your foot on a paper plate and go into as much of a lunge as you can (I can't remember which video I have that exercise in), but it's a good exercise. Sit-to-stand is the best exercise for overall leg strength. My suggestion is to work up to doing 3 sets of 10 a day. It's an exercise we do continuously throughout the day with sitting and standing (using the toilet, etc.), so it's a functional and important move. Besides lunges and sit-to-stands, calf raises and toe raises keep the lower legs strong. You could also do deadlifts which strengthens the hamstrings and glutes (just be sure to keep your back flat, not rounded). There are a ton of leg exercises, but they are more challenging and might bother your knees at this point. Here are some videos: Seated leg workout: ruclips.net/video/o-hrKmRmBjs/видео.html 3 simple leg exercises: ruclips.net/video/GozNPmu5S2c/видео.html Knee strengthening exercises with my dad: ruclips.net/video/yu4kc0jagAM/видео.html Leg exercises using a chair: ruclips.net/video/d8X8ZlYDlUQ/видео.html I think try the last one on my list first.

Amazing! We're so fortunate nowadays to be able to have these surgeries. I wish you all the best as you heal and get stronger each day, Cathy!

This was a great workout!!!! I was definitely feeling it by the end!! I especially felt the stretching at the end!! 💗
So glad to see that you tried this one! If you do this 3x a week (every second day or so), you'll really start to see change as the weeks go on.

I hear strong glutes important for better knee recovery. ??? Can you tell me a couple videos that focus on glutes even if standing ones
