Chair exercises can definitely be surprisingly challenging:) I'll add the link to my second channel in case you're interested in mixing in more seated workouts into your routine: youtube.com/@ImprovedHealthChairWorkouts
Could not agree more with shahtub....❤️❤️ When you verbally instruct us Jules...you make one feel so cherished, even in the no talking videos, you take great pains to ensure we get every move right! Signs of a great mentor!! You deserve several million subscriptions💐❤️
Thank you for commenting and welcome to my channel! 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 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.
It is very tiring but good. I am sweating. The elbow stretcn was paiful for my left arm but I still persevered. My right arm is not as painful. I will sleep very well. Some days I feel lazy but then had to exercise. Thanks again.
Hi Margaret, if any stretch is painful, avoid going further into the stretch. It should feel 'nice', not painful. As you continue to stretch consistently over weeks and months, your flexibility will improve.
Kudos to you for choosing to workout! I have a new seated stretch going up on my chair channel today if you're interested: youtube.com/@ImprovedHealthChairWorkouts
Loved this video!!!!Got in a great workout and always feel good after completing these workouts for Seniors. You are such an asset in my exercise routine every day and I cannot thank you enough for all the inspiration you give to all of us. It's so obvious that you love what you do in your day job with so many different senior citizens. We are all blessed for what you do for so many. Have a blessed day.
Hi my name is Seira Lass. I just had my right hip replacement done a month ago.. Today I startled exercise with your program exercises.. I really like it so much,!! Very good for seniors or someone just have surgery done.. Thank you so much !,,😘❤️❤️👏👏
This seated workout was good for me since I got my knees a bit sore when I woke up this morning!We got both the verbal and written instructions. It’s good for some seniors having hearing problem. I enjoyed this workout. Thank you!
Thank you Jules for this seated strength workout this morning. It is always nice to changed up to seated workouts when you are able to stand, never mind for those who can’t do it safely without the chair. The different ways the muscles are used makes a great variety to add into my rotation.
Your exercise designs and instruction methods are extraordinary, Jules: variety, imagination, challenge, and gentle guidance. Makes me feel as though I have a caring Mom cheering me on! This routine was most challenging. I pushed myself to new heights of effort, knowing I could do it, and I feel so accomplished! I only do the classic Jumping Jacks. I like doing them this way because in its execution, I have to lean back a bit as both legs open and close, and I can feel my abs really working . Great routine has earned a great BIG star. Thank you!...Anastasia
Thanks for your super lovely feedback and comment. I really appreciate the kind words. I agree about the jacks…definitely great for challenging the abs. ❤️
I wanted to tell you thank you for your videos. I was in the hospital twice since December and I have chronic illnesses. Your videos allow me to exercise and yesterday I noticed when I was walking my dog that it was getting easier. That’s priceless.
Hi Jules: absolutely a another great workout video. Thank you for thinking of us seniors on making your videos. Thanks for all the hard work in making your videos. Have a great day. 😅
Thanks for the brain workout. I did this session standing. While my arms followed what you were doing, my brain was making decisions and instructing my feet to walk, run, tap, kick or squat. I enjoyed the variety (which is the spice of life). Thank you for sharing your talents.
Ohh wow I really enjoyed working out with you today so glad I found this utube channel i workout in the chair due to my knees i can't stand and workout But i felt you gave me a total workout in the chair I'll be watching for more workouts from you on your channel Thanks so very much 🎉

Thanks Jules for another great video. First I did one of your all in one videos and then this one as a bonus. These sitting videos are really helpful for those who can not stand for the medical reasons and for people like me when they have flair ups and due to pain gets hard to stand for a long time but you can get real workout while sitting down. So in any way it is all win win. Thanks whatever you do for us and stay blessed❤️
This was our only workout today (via TH-cam) It was a great workout--the arms-wow!! We did, however work in the flower garden/yard for about an hour, digging and hoeing, so we still got a second workout in.
I did this one for the first time this evening. I like it. I'm going to try more of the all in one workouts. It's nice that there are so many of them as it keeps things interesting. I have noticed that I have a lot more strength and stamina while working in my yard this spring. I attribute it do doing these exercises daily.
You definitely planted a large smile on my face with your comment, especially 'I attribute it to doing these exercises daily'. YAY! I'm super happy about that:)
Well, we moved a bit. I really wanted to try the drumming one today, but I got dizzy and nauseous earlier this morning , so we had to opt for this one. Like I always say, I’m so glad we have so many options.
We did this one this morning; it’s been a bit of a hard day, so we opted for this one today. At least we were moving, right? Again, thankful for so many choices!
Ok, my mom does this workout and I gotta admit, I thought, Seated? That ain't nothing. 😄. So she dared me to join her. My arms hurt. Whew! This is more exertion and effort than I thought. Doing this everyday has brought my mom's A1C down. And I am not in as good of a shape as I thought.
Lol, I am so glad you worked out with your mom. She likely loved having you there beside her for a workout partner. Seated workouts can definitely be a lot more challenging than people realize (this is a beginner workout so the intermediate ones I offer are quite a bit more challenging). I have lots of standing workouts if you want to give them a try! Even though I often put 'for seniors', they are definitely suitable for all ages (especially the standing intermediate).
Sorry to hear about the arthritis diagnosis:( The best thing is to keep moving and do what you can and take breaks when you need them. I'm glad you are choosing to continue to exercise.
I tried to find the best disco type music I could from one of the music companies I pay to use, but if you want true disco, I have another video on my channel using disco music that you'll be familiar with.
Great workout Jules! When I do the figure 4 leg crossover my knee, the right hip is much tighter than the left hip. I can cross it over but it starts to hurt a little when I try to lean forward. Are there any exercises that I can do to strengthen my right hip?
I think it's quite normal to be tighter on one side than the other...I notice the same thing with my hips as well in terms of one being tighter. I would suggest to not lean forward if it hurts. You'll still get a stretch through that area with sitting up straight. If you can stand for exercises, the side leg raise would be a great exercise for strengthening through the hip area (just raise the leg 1.5 to 2 feet to the side of the body 6-12 times).
I tried my best to find disco music that was allowed on YT when I created this one. But since this video, I did make another workout with actual disco music. I'll add the link for you to my new chair channel where you can find the video. youtube.com/@ImprovedHealthChairWorkouts
Also I would like to ask you .. perhaps if I could register in your program? So that I know that your program in my iPad.. pls email me if you can helping to buy your program. Thanks in the meantime ❤️

I'm very happy to read that you are noticing a difference in your fitness level...that's super exciting!
We only had time for one workout today; this was it.
A good choice for your workout today!

Thank you so much for taking the time to comment. I'm glad to read that both types of workouts are useful for you:)
Ty
Thank You, I did a lot of the routine standing and some sitting .
That's perfect...modifying to suit your needs is exactly what I hope all viewers will do:)
We did this one this morning. I had to modify a few moves, but at least I got a workout in!!
I’m glad that you are modifying when you need to. ❤️
O, by the way....i wore ankle weights, just to ramp up this w/o a bit...loved it!thank yo,u🤗
What a great way to increase the intensity...smart modification:)
I did it almost always standing except for the abs and I loved it this way 👍😊🇫🇷
It's great that you modified it to work for you:)
Thanks,i work out almost 3 times a week!
That's great! I'm glad you're enjoying the workouts:)
I loved It!
This was our only workout today (via TH-cam) It was a great workout--the arms-wow!! We did, however work in the flower garden/yard for about an hour, digging and hoeing, so we still got a second workout in.
Gardening can definitely be a good workout for the muscles, too. It's also great for positive mental health:)

@@ImprovedHealth 😊 thanks for all that you do. You're really making a difference in people's lives.
love this. looking forward to your 20 min workout when you talk us through it.
To confirm, the request is a 20 min, beginner level with instruction?
yes please. i do the 10 min one so wd love 20 mins. many thanks.
Well, we moved a bit. I really wanted to try the drumming one today, but I got dizzy and nauseous earlier this morning , so we had to opt for this one. Like I always say, I’m so glad we have so many options.
I love how you listen to your body and do the workouts that you need that day.
We did this one this morning; it’s been a bit of a hard day, so we opted for this one today. At least we were moving, right? Again, thankful for so many choices!
Absolutely, Mary! You worked out today and that is something to be proud of.
Ok, my mom does this workout and I gotta admit, I thought, Seated? That ain't nothing. 😄. So she dared me to join her. My arms hurt. Whew! This is more exertion and effort than I thought. Doing this everyday has brought my mom's A1C down. And I am not in as good of a shape as I thought.

Actually a good workout! Just found out I have arthritis in both knees.
Sorry to hear about the arthritis diagnosis:( The best thing is to keep moving and do what you can and take breaks when you need them. I'm glad you are choosing to continue to exercise.
Jules you are amazing luv lorraine very satisfied with you
Thanks so much, Lorraine. ❤️
Love that video jules you ate amazing luv lorraine
I love these workouts but yes, where’s the disco?
I tried to find the best disco type music I could from one of the music companies I pay to use, but if you want true disco, I have another video on my channel using disco music that you'll be familiar with.
Great workout Jules! When I do the figure 4 leg crossover my knee, the right hip is much tighter than the left hip. I can cross it over but it starts to hurt a little when I try to lean forward. Are there any exercises that I can do to strengthen my right hip?

Is it okay to do this standing?
Absolutely! I do have gentle standing workouts that might work well, too. Here's a link to one: th-cam.com/video/DIpw_AE6_bc/w-d-xo.html
CAN'T HEAR THE MUSIC
Thank you for your feedback. This is an older video and I sometimes struggled to know how loud to put the music with the seated videos.
Ahh..Where’s the disco music to this “disco music workout”?
I tried my best to find disco music that was allowed on YT when I created this one. But since this video, I did make another workout with actual disco music. I'll add the link for you to my new chair channel where you can find the video. youtube.com/@ImprovedHealthChairWorkouts
