I watched a portion of this video and said I was going to take a"holiday" from standing exercises since this one was designed for more vigorous movement. I realized that walking/marching is more difficult than standing!!! I amped up many of the moves and received not only a great workout, but one which provided indelible pictures of holiday activities, although I never had to slow down a reindeer driven sleigh! A lovely and ambitious routine, Jules. So many of the moves were innovative. Thank you much...Anastasia
For someone who "only has a kitchen because it comes with the house" (I no longer like to cook!), I baked more cookies in your Christmas workouts than I have since my kids were little! Your creativity is such fun. As always, thank you for lighting the pilot light to keep us moving, particularly at this most wonderful time of the year~
Hi Jules I have been feeling pretty low this past week as my Mother has just passed away but doing your Christmas workouts have brought a smile to my face thank you so much
I’m so sorry to read about your mom, Wendy. I hope the Christmas music can help to bring lots of happy Christmas memories of your mom and family. Big hugs, Wendy.
Good chair workout! I did this with 1 1/2 pounds in my hand, and a resistant band on my legs! Just right! Thx for these workouts! Having low back and leg issues make these workouts so effective!
🤶 Santa and I approve. A wonderful gift to many people. Thank you from one and all but especially me. Not that you don’t deserve a break but should I not expect any more you work outs until 2023?🎄💐💕
@@ImprovedHealth on no!!! Your seated workouts are saving me because I have a knee issue and after cardiac rehab I still need to do daily cardio. I’d love to do standing ones but can’t. Happy holidays and blessings to you and your family.
@@heatherangellight8558 Hi Heather, just so you know I have organized my website recently and have all the seated workouts categorized into fitness levels. You can find them at www.improvedhealthforseniors.com As you get through them, let me know what you would find helpful for another workout and I'll see what I can do:)
Hey Jules...this was such a fun workout... you're quite the storyteller, aren't you...pulled me right into your land of snow, Santa, selflessness, support...all while getting the steps in...sheer genius, thank you🤗 Can't wait for your next video... Do have loads of holiday fun with your family💖
Hi Jules, so glad I stumble upon your videos a few weeks ago, really enjoying them so far. Just did this Christmas workout on 25 Dec 2023! Thanks so much. Have a Blessed Christmas & Healthy New Year in 2024. Looking foward to more good ones 🙏😘
I'm so glad to read that you're enjoying my workouts so far, Susan. Congrats for working out on Christmas Day and for taking time for YOU. Wishing you a wonderful 2024 and I hope you continue to enjoy my workouts into the New Year.
Thank you thank you. This was so very good. I loved loved how descriptive you were in the type of exercises we were doing; very creative. Also thoroughly enjoyed the different music such as contemporary gospel, soul, ballroom, and many other genres. Definitely decreased my level of depression during the holiday season. I will be sharing with others.
Thank you very much for taking the time to comment. I know Christmas can definitely be a tough time for a lot of people and I truly hope exercising will help to boost the endorphins, and help both physically and emotionally. In case you haven't seen it, I started a second channel for chair workouts. I'll add the link for you so you'll have more variety in your choices for workouts: www.youtube.com/@ImprovedHealthChairWorkouts Alternative, you can find all of my seated workouts from both channels on my website at www.improvedhealthforseniors.com
Hi Jules, this was perfect for me today. I don't do seated usually, but as I will be walking a lot today I thought I would give it a try. My abs say thank you! 😊
You put a big smile on my face...thank you! I definitely enjoy Christmas (except for all the work involved with decorating!). But, it's always worthwhile when it's done.
Hi, We did the Christmas video in June.Everyone loved the full body exercises . Your videos have helped us to increase our class size as people invite their neighbors to join us.Please continue the 30 minute classes. We are interested in videos that help us to improve our balance using the chair for safety.Thank you for helping us to improve our strength and agility. Jannifer Woodson
Thanks so much for your feedback and for letting me know about your class size growing! I love reading that! Thanks as well for your request. In case you haven't seen my other channel dedicated to chair workouts, I'll add the link for you. My goal with that channel is to provide chair workouts, and also workouts where we use the chair for support/assistance. Since you work out in a group, let me know what else you would like in a 30 min video. All standing with the assistance of a chair? Or, a combination of standing and seated?
Thank you Jules, that was great!!! I surprisingly got a little sweaty and I will do this workout was pass the holidays. Quite creative of you, again, thank you
Yeah! Jules, thank you so much! This was a great workout. Your workouts are helping me in my recovery. May you and yours have a safe and blessed Christmas Season.
Lovely Workout for the Xmas Holidays I did most of m workout standing incredible. Thank You for your time and efforts to try to be as healthy as possible.
Hello jules!!Argentina arde de calor 🔥 y uds con frío!!pero nada me detiene ,hice la rutina previo al partido de Argentina & Holanda!!?🤩🇦🇷🥵🎄💋Gracias infinitas !!!
Hi Jules: another amazing Christmas workout. You brought some Christmas cheer for me. You always come up with some great workout. Thanks. Have a great weekend 😅😅😅
Oh my Goodness Jules....how did you know?? I made apple spice cake last night and was thinking I really should do some sort of abs workout this morning. This absolutely did it. Thank you so much my beautiful fitness friend 🎄⛄🎄 Happy Friday and Welcome to the weekend 🎉🎉🎉 (Just a quick add on: I was cracking up when you used the two arms to cut the turkey. 😂 I was thinking Jules knows how I cook. Gotta make sure it's cooked through and nothing a little extra gravy can't fix 😂)
@@ImprovedHealth 😂 I had to change out all of my pans because the sugar cookies always had dark bottoms. Scraping sounds...tis the season for scraping sounds 😂
Thank you, Jules, for a very cool chair exercise. Even the laziest and sickest cannot have an excuse not to do this workout. I did all the exercises with weights, but I had the following problem: When doing some classic strength training with weights, after each exercise in a session that is repeated, for example 16 times, we take an obligatory break, for example 1 minute. After the next exercise repeated 16 times, we also take a one-minute break. We proceed in this way until the end of the session. Apparently, this is the only way we build muscle. If we don't take such a break, our workout will not build muscle, but will become a simple cardio exercise. The question is how to proceed with your session today. I took a break after 15 minutes. I think this is too little. If too little, how often to take breaks? Or am I thinking wrong at all, because without these breaks the muscles will also be "built up" in the case of a session like today's? What are your thoughts on this? If you find the time, please write.💛
Hello Jules: I liked to throw the snowballs instead of boxing. I don't bake cookies, so I stirred my pot of soup instead. Thanks for sharing the Christmas chores with us. What does that mean when you say at the end "See you all next year"??? Next year? It's only the 9th of December. Don't scare me. Something funny to add: My Fitbit categorized this session as "Swimming". No snow needed.
When I said, ‘see you all next year’, in my head I was thinking some people might not do the video until closer to Christmas and I’m not sure if I’ll have another seated workout before the new year. I’m still creating videos and will have more out soon:) Stirring soup is a another good one for winter:)
I guess I shouldn’t have said that…someone else said the same thing. I doubt I will have any new seated workouts before the new year so I was meaning it more for those who follow my seated workouts. I’ll have more standing workouts uploaded next week:)

Really enjoyed the variety of moves without pauses in between exercises! I would do this one all year round! It's a winner!

Congrats on crossing 60k subs....
Hope the 1 m milestone follows soon❤️

With this workout, it is best to do it without weights. Some of the movements are too fast to use weights and it can be hard on the joints.
