    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.

    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.

    • @ImprovedHealth
      @ImprovedHealth  ปีที่แล้ว +1

      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.

    • @ImprovedHealth
      @ImprovedHealth  ปีที่แล้ว

      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.
