Peerfect for me today, Love the sit and stands between upper body. I just started back lifting again. My depression was bad, this one was do doable! Thank you!
Giving my overused feet, knees, and legs a rest today. Started with seated cardio, finished with this one. Thank you for offering seated and standing workouts.
@@ImprovedHealth Yes, my own gardens and put in plants for a limited mobility neighbor - she has some beautiful flowers and now a few vegetables I grew for her from seed. Your workouts are what keeps me flexible and still able to get down on my knees and crouch (love those squats).
Hi Jules, what a wonderful 15 minute session. What a nice way to end the cardio session with you. Happy Friday 🎉🍁🎃🍂🎉 I hope you have an amazing weekend ahead. 🤗
Oh, I'm so glad to read your comment. You can definitely get stronger with the chair workouts. I'll include the link to my newer chair channel for you. I now upload all of my new seated workouts to the other channel: youtube.com/@ImprovedHealthChairWorkouts
Just found your channel and subscribed! These are all doable exercises for me! Thanks for sharing all of these! Re-Starting my workout schedule tomorrow!! I've been doing weights since the beginning of the year, but these will add a bit more to my workout. We need to stay active as we age. Glad I found this!🤗
Welcome to my channel and thank you for subscribing! Just to help you navigate the channel, I create 3 levels of workouts (gentle, beginner and intermediate) and categorize them all into the playlists. So glad to read that you're looking forward to getting stronger! I hope you enjoy more of the workouts when you try them out.
I just found your page. This is so wonderful. I have limited mobility and pretty much everything has to be done from a chair. I do want to work on my strength so this is perfect!
Welcome to my channel, Jennifer! If you go to my website, you'll find all of the workouts categorized there and it's a bit easier to find the workouts. I hope the variety of seated ones will provide you with what works best for you. There are gentle, beginner and intermediate level workouts. I hope they help! www.improvedhealthforseniors.com
Jules, this was a very well prepared workout that my wife and I really enjoyed doing🙌🎉. Thank you for mentioning how the breathe when doing some of the exercises, as that is very important! Keep up the good work and we look forward to your next seated video!
Good morning, Jules....Really enjoyed working out with you...this was nice for a start to the day...the abs part is just as challenging seated...that is a revelation, thank you. Hope you have a great Halloween weekend..😀
Thanks Jules for another great strength training workout. Combined it with your another 20 minutes dance workout. It was fantastic. There is no dearth of your workout videos. So we can always combine with some other or do it only on the lazy or not feeling well so much days. Thanks for keeping us motivated. Have a wonderful weekend and stay blessed❤
Hi Jules: absolutely great workout. I sure enjoyed it. I am using my weights and love the exercises you come up with. Should I use my weights 3 times a week? Thanks for another amazing workouts. Have a great weekend. 😅😅😅
Hi Jules, Thanks so much for your seated exercises and for your instructions for each. We try to keep our classes in the range of 30 to 35 min. Is it possible to combine weights with a seated stretch or seated exercises? Often when we change from a 17 min class to a 20 min class we lose our connection and have to start trying to find the class again. We are in Maryland and like the fact that we have no commercial interruptions with your classes. Thank you for your gentle encouragement to use weights as we strive to increase our strength as we age. Jan Woodson
Hi Jan, have you checked out my new channel dedicated to chair workouts? I started it a few months ago. I've been putting up new workouts weekly (although this week I just didn't have time). I'll add the link for you here: www.youtube.com/@ImprovedHealthChairWorkouts
Thank you so much for your channel and all that you share. I was having trouble getting back into a regular exercise routine after having neck surgery in 2022, but you have helped me to do that. After a full summer of adding your exercises to some therapists have taught me, I am able to do at least an hour six days a week. I do most of my cardio on the exercise bicycle due to bone spurs on my feet, then follow with this strengthening video, then your 5 minute cool down, and then your stretching. I was wondering, since you say to limit the weights to every other day, do you have a "no equipment" strengthening only video to alternate with this one? I looked on your channel, but may have missed it.
Hi! First of all, congrats for working out consistently for a good amount of time each day (and for focusing on the whole body with cardio, strength and stretching). That's great! I launched a new channel dedicated to chair workouts a few months ago and will attach the link for you since I uploaded a new upper body strength workout yesterday. As for videos with strength and no equipment, I do have them...I just need to figure out which ones:) In some of my gentle seated workouts, I focus more on tensing the muscles rather than using weights. Even though they are gentle, they are great workouts for focusing on feeling the muscles and we also do a lot of work on posture and improving range of motion through the joints. I'll attach the link to the new channel here: www.youtube.com/@ImprovedHealthChairWorkouts
I just want to clarify something in terms of doing strength training every second day. You can do strength workouts every day, but just be sure to work different muscles. For example, if you're working upper body today, then you can train the lower body tomorrow. This way the muscles in the upper body are getting a break on the leg day. But, if you're working the whole body in a strength workout, then you should take the next day off strength workouts to allow the muscles to recover. I personally do a 2 day split so I work upper body one day, lower body the next. Are you able to do strength workouts for the lower body or do the bone spurs prevent you from being able to? Depending on what the physical therapists say, you could add in squats, side leg raises and other leg exercises on the leg day. I hope that helps!
@@ImprovedHealth I found one of your seated workouts with no equipment and did it today and it is exactly what I was looking for th-cam.com/video/7TMyScomzic/w-d-xo.html. In 2019, after I was diagnosed with diabetes, I hired a personal trainer to come to my home and help me develop an exercise program. That included wall slides and side leg raises, among other things, but very few chair exercises. By spring of 2021, I was able to do 30 minutes of cardio with interval walking and exercise bicycle, 5 min walk, 20 min bicycle, 5 min walk. Then an hour of strengthening and stretching, mostly lying on bed using weights. I was trying to go up from 5 lb to 8 lbs on weights. Besides my foot issues, I also have back issues, severe TMJ disorder, limited neck movement from spinal fusion, and nerve pain in face, shoulder-arms, as carryovers from pinched nerves in my neck. In summer 2021 I got Covid, which apparently aggravated some inflammation around another disc in which I had a tear and pinched some nerves. I have degenerative disc disease. Steroid injections didn't work, but only served to worsen my diabetes. So I had another spinal fusion surgery in 2022. Now I am fused from C4-C6. I went to physical therapy, but have trouble remembering all the exercises. Many of the exercises you do are the same or variations of the exercises I've learned in physical therapy through the years for all these issues. I like the chair exercises because the TMJ disorder causes nerve pain in my ear, which affects my balance. So lying down too long to exercise can cause nausea. And standing too long causes foot pain. These chair exercises are just perfect for me. Thank you so much! I'd also like to add that you always look like you are having so much fun, which make it fun for me.
Wow, you have definitely had some challenges to overcome. I admire how you keep searching for the best ways to get stronger. It definitely sounds like chair exercises are the way to go and you can definitely get great workouts out of chair routines. I hope the variety of workouts I create help. Please let me know if you have any special requests for future seated workouts and I'll do my best to create them for you. @@tammyl.hensel-dedicatedtoc1042
Great strength Training. I feel so good with your Workouts. Thank you!!
Thanks for saying that, Hans.

Thank you for letting me know that you enjoyed these seated workouts. I'm assuming you got in lots of gardening over the weekend:)

I like your workouts they are perfect for stressed out people. Short calm and easy!
Thank you very much, Jules for the exercise. Getting the legs up without holding onto the chair at the back is very difficult, at least for me.💛
You are not alone. I also am challenged. Trying is the best thing for us to try. We do our best for us personally.
You are absolutely right, Laura. I will keep the feedback in mind for future workouts.

Beginning to feel much stronger even after 3 weeks chair training. Thank you.

Thank you so much for your feedback...it's always great to know what is helpful during the workout.
I really enjoyed this strength workout. It went well with your new 10 minute cardio and your stretch.
I love how you combine the workouts to get the workout you want each day.
@@ImprovedHealth I love how you make new workouts to add to your library that I can to do this.
Even though I’m not ready to stand I really feel like I’ve had a good workout. Brilliant 👍
This is definitely a great strength building workout. You can definitely build strength from a seated position.
Perfect for a stability ball. Thankyou
So true!
Thank you Jules! This was hard for me, but will continue!
So glad to read about your determination! I'm not surprised, Pam, since you're back every day working out. LOVE it!
Good morning, Jules....Really enjoyed working out with you...this was nice for a start to the day...the abs part is just as challenging seated...that is a revelation, thank you.

Thanks for letting me know that you enjoyed the seated workout:) My kids are definitely excited for Halloween (that's a bit of an understatement!).
