Hi. I just wanted to say thank you for making this video. I am morbidly obese and I haven't exercised in a long time. I am 53 years old and I think I can do this because I am not getting any younger. God bless from Kingston,Ontario Canada
Hi Lola, I am so happy to read you are starting with exercise. Congratulations on taking that first step (that's the hardest part). If you look under my playlists, you'll find similar workouts under 'true beginner'. I am so happy to have you join me. Btw, I lived in Kingston for 3 years about 25 years ago...beautiful city.
Praying for your weight loss journey 🙏 😊
This is great..thank you i am 76yrs as this is so good good me xx
I'm right there with you - 50 and stopped exercising for a while now and am just getting back to it!! We can do this!!
This workout is perfect for someone who hasn't exercised in quite a while and is trying to get back in shape. It's just enough. Thank you for posting it!
Thanks Gordon! I put a new video out today that might work well for you, too. It's a gentle workout as well. Congrats for starting to exercise again. 💗
That's me to a tee. Xx
Thanks so much for this exercise routine for seniors I am 67 and need to exercise daily. This is just perfect for me.
Thank you for this just perfect exercise for my 84 years old husband with 3/4 lung capacity! He was out of breath for a while, we stop and pushed play to continue 😅 he says thank you to you and we just subscribed for more senior walking with you! Merci from grateful seniors living in France 🇫🇷
Merci beaucoup! 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. If you enjoyed this one, you can find plenty more at this same level under the 'gentle level' playlists. I hope you and your husband enjoy more of the workouts when you try them out!
Thank you for this gentle walking exercise. Just right for me, I'm in my 80s. Good work

I am enjoying your walk at home, so much! I am 75 years old and that low impact workout is excellent for me. I’m forwarding it to some of my friends!
Thank you, Diana! I really appreciate you sharing them. My goal of starting was to help more seniors so thank you for helping:)
Hello 72 here ! I came across your video, not long ago and found it simple to follow. I do exercise but mostly just walking. I don’t like feeling tiredness so my problem is consistency. I will try to solve the problem from now on. what I like in your video,besides it’s simpleness ,is how you tell when it’s about to switch and few tips. (Not chatting or tell stories all the time like ive seen in some.) So , in the meantime, I can concentrate on the exercise. Thanks to you.
I am 70 years old with osteoarthritis. This was easy on my knees and back yet enough to get good cardio. I will make this and your other videos a part of my daily routine. I love the time clock which challenges me to keep pushing. It makes the goal achievable. I love how you explain each exercise in time for me to change movement. Enjoyable!😊
Thank you so much for letting me know that you new here and enjoying the gentle workouts. Just so you know, I categorize all of the workouts in the playlists and on my website. It makes it easier for people to find the workouts that suit their fitness level. I have lots of gentle workouts that I hope will work well for you. Thanks as well for your feedback! www.improvedhealthforseniors.com
@@ImprovedHealth I'm so overweight 36yo lady... and I have right knee pain also... At 3:04 Hamstring Curl... Can I skip this move because of knee issue... Please reply
Thanks in advance
@@durreshehwar4272 Hi! My suggestion is to modify any exercise that doesn't work well for you. If the hamstring curl is tough on your knee, then definitely switch it to something else. A step touch (feet back and forth) is likely a better move for your knee. Congrats for being here and for taking that first step to working out! I truly hope you come back every day. A little bit every day definitely adds up!
I'm very glad I found your channel, I'm 61 yrs old and I was looking for walking exercise I can do that is gentle. I'm going to start doing this 3 times a week .you make it look very easy.
Welcome Cindy! I hope some of the other workouts work well for you, too.
@@ImprovedHealth thank u , I'm going to try this it looks like it will work for my fibro and osteoarthritis
Hello! I discovered this yesterday and it’s perfect for me. I’m recovering from shoulder surgery after a fall 4 months ago and haven’t been able to do my usual daily walking routine. Clear and precise instructions, in a warm and friendly manner.
My only request would be the option for subtitles as I have a hearing loss and have to depend on lip reading/subtitles. Thank you! 💕
Thanks so much for your feedback, Jane. I will keep the subtitles in mind (I'm often strapped for time due to working full-time as well as doing YT). I will try to find the time for the future gentle walks. Just so you know, I create 3 levels of workouts (gentle, beginner and intermediate). You can find all of the gentle level workouts together under the 'gentle level' playlists.
Discovered your channel while looking for low impact chair exercises for seniors. I like the amount of time, short enough that I can handle the exercises but long enough for me to benefit from the exercises. I enjoy the variety of exercises that is offered. I share these on Facebook as I find them enjoyable and beneficial.
Thank you for the feedback, Karen. I'm glad to hear the classes are suitable for you and thank you so much for sharing the videos on Facebook...very much appreciated!
Thank you for this! I’m recovering from chronic fatigue so I had to modify to make easier and have a break 1/2 way through but I look forward to trying it again regularly and hopefully seeing progress. I’d appreciate more easy short videos like this. Thanks and blessings from Tassie Australia 🇦🇺
Welcome to my channel and thank you for letting me know that you're new here. Just to help you navigate the channel, I create 3 levels of workouts (gentle, beginner and intermediate) and categorize them all into the playlists. If you enjoyed this one, you can find plenty more at this same level under the 'gentle level' playlists. There are lots of other short 10-20 minute walks that I hope will help. Taking breaks as needed is a great way to be able to do more of the workout and in time, you'll get stronger and be able to do more. Another option is to do the seated workouts on days when your energy is lower due to chronic fatigue. The gentle seated workouts focus on gentle movement to improve flexibility and range of motion. I also create 3 levels for those so you can pick and choose depending on your energy. I'll add my other seated channel in case you'd like to try some there: youtube.com/@ImprovedHealthChairWorkouts
@@ImprovedHealth thank you for all that info, very helpful!
Chi Gong helps!❤😂
These 10-15 minute walking videos are perfect! I love exercising and getting my heart rate up, but it's hard for me to do that with my chronic pain issues. Finding your channel has helped me so much. The beginner videos without more complicated moves like squats are wonderful. I love how you put the move queues on the screen so I can play my own music while watching your videos. Thank you so much!
Thank you for the feedback, Ashley! I’ll get some more gentle walks out soon.
This easier workout for the evening.
We’ve both been up and at it hard today, so this was good for tonight.
Even though you had a busy day, you still worked out. You are definitely committed to fitness!
Thank you I just had surgery and had to start over ❤
Welcome back and congrats for coming back after surgery! I'm glad to see you're starting back slowly as needed after a surgery. One day at a time!
Thank you! A good walk. Something to look forward to everyday when the weather is bad outside.
Thank you! I'm glad to read that you enjoyed it. I have lots of short gentle walks in my 'gentle standing' playlist.
Coming across your videos have really helped me reach daily goals. I live in Texas, the heat is real. These videos are fun and help me get over my guilt
Thank you again for doing these💗🌺
Thanks Angela! I am giving thought to future videos for walks at this pace…would videos at this pace but a bit longer work for you? I have lots of walking videos but at a faster pace. I’d love some feedback so I cater to different levels.
@@ImprovedHealth I’ve done a couple of your other videos I think they’re great. I could see where some people would need a longer version like this one
Same!!!
Thank you. I'm taking the plunge back into exercise again after years of becoming stagnant. I became winded after walking back and forth twice in my apartment hallway from the bathroom to the livingroom. Definitely time to do something. I have limited mobility so I am going to take things one step at a time. I've bookmarked this video so I can come back every day to follow it.
I am so glad to read that you're starting. Welcome to my channel and thank you for letting me know that you're new here. Just to help you navigate the channel, I create 3 levels of workouts (gentle, beginner and intermediate) and categorize them all into the playlists. If you enjoyed this one, you can find plenty more at this same level under the 'gentle level' playlists. I also have a second channel dedicated to chair workouts, or workouts using the assistance of a chair. I'll add the link for you in case you'd like to use those, too. Congrats for making the decision to start getting more movement into your day:) youtube.com/@ImprovedHealthChairWorkouts
Thank you for an actual low impact workout. I've clicked on so many videos claiming to be low impact that were just too intense. I was able to commit to this for the full 10mins and feel like I was doing a workout without having my hips and knees want to buckle at the same time.
Thanks so much for your comment. If you go to my playlists, I have a whole assortment of gentle workouts. I create gentle, beginner and intermediate levels. If you liked this one, the true beginner playlist will be most appropriate. If you have trouble finding it, please let me know.
Jules, this was a great short video to start my day. Thank you!
Found you after hours sitting in a hard folding chair with my mom in the ER. I barely had enough room to do the hand stretching part. Thanks for the gentle tone to it all.
Thanks for taking the time to comment during what is likely a stressful time. I hope your mom is doing okay.
Thank you so much today was my first day and I really enjoyed my self God bless you always 💜
Welcome to my channel, Sheila! If you look at my playlists, you'll find lots of gentle walking workouts there. I hope you enjoy them.
I am enjoying doing your classes. I love that I'm not in a public class feeling everyone watching and the teacher giving me the look. I try walking every day and include your exercises to make my 10,000 steps goal. I'm not a young person , not middle age unfortunately but I feel keeping fit and well is important at any age. Thank you Jules for your endeavours to help the nation get fit , especially us oldeys. Oh by the way I love in the 40 ,50,60, you say abou the generation who were bone during that period that they could dance the way they did. I have this vision of a 90 year old throwing his partner of his shoulder or through his legs. Love Carol
Lol, thanks for letting me know about your vision of people dancing.😳
Congrats on your 10,000 steps goal each day, Carol! That's great!
I am in recovery after knee surgery and this is perfect thank you
Thanks Andie. If you go to my playlists, you'll find more similar workouts under the 'gentle standing workouts'. Here's another one I recently uploaded: th-cam.com/video/hJ17YWKjVjA/w-d-xo.html
I really enjoy these low impact walks. I have become very motivated with your videos. Increasing every week!Thank you!
I'm so happy to read that you are becoming motivated to work out. Finding the motivation is often the hardest part. Congrats on increasing the amount every week! Woo hoo! That's great!
Love your 10 minute walks. And love the separated walking intervals and exercise intervals. Like the 10 minute walks that include upper body exercises at the same time, but do love these. As you say, on good days, walk faster, on not so good days, walk a little slower. But I can always complete a 10 minute walk. Thank you so much! 🥰
Thanks SO much for letting me know that you enjoy the variety of shorter walks. I appreciate the feedback.
Hi can I do these if I have a Hiatal hernia
This is a very gentle walk and would be suitable for anyone who is given the okay to do gentle exercise. If you have concerns, please check with your medical doctor.@@MonalisadeWee
I am so thankful to you great exercise walking and moving joints for seniors.
I had walked and tried one minute walk by Leslie before. It is very intense for seniors over 70. But when I tried yours it was exciting and I took a break at 5 minutes and then continued till the end. I have COPD so breathing was also not bad thanks again.
Thanks so much, Syed. I have lots of videos under my 'gentle' workouts. I hope you'll find more there that you will also enjoy.
I really like this one for a less strenuous 10 minutes of movement. Thank you!
Thanks for letting me know. I have plenty more like this one in the 'gentle level' playlists.
Thank u for making this video. I always feel relax after every workout. Have a blessed day.
I'm glad to read that, Cheryl. Thanks for letting me know that you're enjoying the workouts.
hi there! i am 23 years old and have not exercised in well over 3 years due to chronic pain and chronic fatigue. i am overweight and would like to slowly introduce activity back into my daily routine. this is perfect! not too little and not too much. thank you so much for this video! ❤
I'm so sorry to read about the chronic pain and I truly hope these workouts will help to get you started with safe exercise. I create gentle workouts both seated and standing so both might be a good option. This way you can see what exercises help, and what might need to be avoided. If you go to my website, I categorize them all a little bit more which might help you. www.improvedhealthforseniors.com Congrats for taking the first step to moving again and please let me know how it goes! I'd love your feedback so I can make more workouts to suit what you need.
These short workouts are perfect for me. I’m trying to get my energy back after dealing with cancer, loss of some family members, Covid and just the general stress of the world. So appreciate you… subscribed!
Oh, I'm so sorry to read about the struggles you have been going through, Tana. Kudos to you for exercising as a coping skill to deal with some of the stress you are going through. I hope you continue to come back daily.
So happy to find you. Great music. No talking
Thank you Karen. I put a new gentle one out today on YT.
I am the 82-year-old who discovered your brilliant Mama Mia 25-minute programme some time ago. I sit at the computer too much, searched for a quick break and found this. It is perfect for getting me out of the chair and moving arms and legs, without impact while giving a total and valuable interruption of my Internet work. Thank you very much for your excellent programmes.
Big smile here...thanks Bryan. I am super happy to read you are getting up from the computer desk and getting some exercise:) I plan to create more shorter walks soon. Stay tuned:)
Hello! I get 2 10 minute breaks a day on remote job. Will be spending one with you! These 10 minutes of movements are perfect for remote desk bound. I am recommending to team mates! Love it us broken in to 2 segments. You are so encouraging and make it easy! Thank you!🎉❤😊
Thank you for your lovely comment and congrats for making the time to fit these into your work day. If you enjoyed this one, you can find more like it in the ‘gentle level’ playlists. Thank you for sharing these with others, too!
I like your videos (music...movements...tempo...walking with movements GREAT). Especially in a day when I have low energy level...feel stress out or nerve pains. I like doing movements outdoor / on bed / on chair or standing at floor when possible. Main thing is when videos are not that long and they are gentle movements it is easy to start doing. When you feel like doing more you can do video two times or do 2-3 videos. My wishes for length is 10-15-20 minutes...maybe 30 minutes too with warm up or cardio...movements and stretching with this gentle tempo :) Keep on doing great videos. Your voice...talking...music everything is relaxing and nice to listen.THANK YOU!
Hi Anika, thank you so much for your comment and suggestions. I will keep you in mind as I work to create more like you have suggested. Thank you!
Thank you completed all the moves today and look forward to the next xx
Thanks Georgina. I have a new workout coming out this week that I hope will work for you. If you turn your notifications on (hit the bell beside the subscribe button), you'll see new videos I upload as they get released.
This is fantastic. I am 68 with serious fibromyalgia and extreme arthritis. I am in chronic pain 24/7. My fiancee is 71 and also suffers with extreme arthritis. We started with doing the 10 minute chair yoga and love these exercises. We will continue to build up our endurance and strength and do the longer timed chair yoga classes. Today, we started to include 10 minute walk class as well in our day as the chair yoga. Thank you so much for making exercising so possible and we are excited about keeping ourselves healthier and getting stronger too. Would like to know your first name if you are with sharing that with us. We put out a lot of gratitude toward you when during our exercises...lol. Wishing you a wonderful day. 🙂
Thank you so much for your wonderful comment. I am SO happy to read that you're both finding my workouts beneficial, and that they work well for both of you. My name is Jules (or Julie). I go by both:) 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. I also started a second channel dedicated to chair workouts and will add the link for you here: youtube.com/@ImprovedHealthChairWorkouts
If you liked this walk, you can find plenty more like it under my 'gentle level' standing playlists.
Lastly, I upload all of the workouts from both channels to my website at www.improvedhealthforseniors.com
I hope that helps and welcome to my channels!
I am really enjoying your workouts. I have a chronic medical condition and the medication I am on makes my joints hurt and causes anxiety for me. Your workouts are low impact but leave me feeling accomplished. Thank you for what you do for the community!
Thank you so much for your comment, Stacey. I am so happy to read these workouts are doable for you. I plan to create more gentle walks soon. Can you let me if you have any special requests?
Thanku Thanku Thanku Thanku Thanku so much. Waiting anxiously for ur new video.💖💖
It’ll be out this morning:)
Loving this walking exercise even though I can only get thru the first half of it...
I will persist till I can do the entire 10 minutes!!
Just turned 77. have stopped doing any walking because of disabling balance issues and neuropathy in my feet. Thanks so much for this.....happy to have found you!!

If you enjoyed this one, you can find plenty more at this same level under the 'gentle level' playlists.
On days when you might be struggling, you could also add on a gentle seated workout. It'll help you to improve your range of motion and mobility, which in turn will help you to be able to get stronger for the standing workouts. I have gentle seated workouts here, and also on my new channel dedicated to chair workouts. I will add the link for you here: youtube.com/@ImprovedHealthChairWorkouts
Lastly, 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.
thank you for your gentle exercise. this really helped me as i was "fighting" covid... simple exercises.
It's great you were still able to exercise despite having Covid.
I am 61 with spinal issues that causes a great deal of pain & I've been looking for exercise I can do. I can't move like I used to since having my pain meds forcefully reduced like millions of other people. When pain hits a certain level you just want to find a comfortable chair or position & stay there. That just causes further health problems & becoming overweight. When I was younger I loved aerobics & was a bit addicted to it. Finding your video aroused those same feelings for aerobics I had before. I know this will help me. Thank you for making this video!!

I now upload all new seated workouts to the new channel. I truly hope you enjoy the variety of workouts.
@@ImprovedHealth Thank you! I appreciate all the work you've put in for people like myself. I'm going to enjoy checking out your videos & the chair exercises I will be using as well. Again, thank you!!!
GM and ty this was soothing on a Snowy Monday morning, just did 10mins stretching and them wanted to do low impact 10 min walk so it worked out perfect I feel refreshed. I will be looking for to your 20mins. walk video. It so good that on my 60's I can still move.. Far cry from my younger years with Denise Austin videos... LOL
Welcome to my channel! I hope you enjoy the other workouts as you get to them:) I have workouts categorized in my playlists to help you out with finding ones that will suit you best. Thank you for taking time to comment!
I like your style. So comforting.
So happy I finally found a video that I can build up my walking. Thank you!😁
Yay! I am super happy to read this walk works for you. I plan to create some more gentle workouts soon. If you look at my playlists, you'll notice I have several that will hopefully work for you.
As Gordon commented below, this is a perfect welcome back for someone who's had time off. Sharing with two friends who qualify. Also a nice way to sneak in a thousand steps, so double thanks.
Thank you for sharing it with others. I definitely appreciate that.
I am so pleased to have all your workouts to choose from. I am using them interspersed throughout the day as my hobbies are pretty sedentary and I want to get 10,000 steps in. Many thanks for the variety and some without talking 😉🤗
Thanks so much, Zena. I love that you work out at various times throughout the day to get in the 10,000 steps. If you want only no-talking, you can find them in one of the playlists on the channel:)
@@ImprovedHealth Great help. Happy Monday? Still Sunday night here. Very grateful to you 🙏🤗
@@zena-knittingbeans7973 Still Sunday here in Canada:)
@@ImprovedHealth why did I think you are in Australia 🫤🫣
@@zena-knittingbeans7973 Maybe because I've mentioned travelling there is past comments.
Really enjoyed the pace and the ability to increase pace if needed... ideal for both my husband and myself.

If you click the arrow, you'll be able to read the description explaining what the video is about. I would truly appreciate you subscribing and hitting that thumbs up button! Thanks in advance:) Jules
Love your workouts,I have knee issues and really poor balance due to muscle loss in my legs. I really appreciate you making the workouts doable without causing pain to my knees . Thankyou ❤
Just seeing your other comment, maybe give some of the seated workouts a try to see how you find them. I still do leg strengthening exercises in the seated workouts which will help. Another good workout for you to try would be the video I created with my dad. It is for knee osteoarthritis but would help strengthen your legs and strengthen the muscles around your knees. Do what you can and take the next day off if needed before doing the workout again the next day.
I absolutely love this walk I am 76 I do it two or three times a day if I get sore I do 5 minutes wait then another 5 minutes keep it uo love it keeps me so I am not so stiff thank you Joanne 😊
Thanks for letting me know, Joanne. If you go to my playlists, you'll notice I put all of the gentle workouts together. I also categorize them on my website to help people find the workouts that suit them best. www.improvedhealthforseniors.com
Hello, I just found your group and tried your 10-minute walk. I have not exercised for more than 20 years; I have an added 40 pounds gained over that time. I thought this would be a breeze, but I found it was a true challenge. I did end up slowing my pace as I do have hip and knee problems. I completed the walk disappointed how out of shape I have allowed myself to get. I have subscribed to you group and will continue to work out slowly. Thank you for no fast music or bouncing steps or jumping moves. I'll catch you again soon.
Hi Debra, I am so glad to read that you are planning to work towards getting stronger. It is amazing how busy our lives can get. But, you are here and today is a new day. I think you'll be surprised by how quickly you'll gain fitness and strength by returning to exercise each day. Start slowly, but be consistent if you can (meaning, try to work out daily and work up to doing more when you're ready). The seated workouts are also great options on days when your hips or knees are bothering you. I'll add my other channel as well for you. Seated workouts can be quite challenging and incredibly beneficial to. Welcome to my channels, Debra, and I truly hope you'll share your progress with me as you start this new chapter in your life. youtube.com/@ImprovedHealthChairWorkouts
Just to help you navigate the channel, I create 3 levels of workouts (gentle, beginner and intermediate) and categorize them all into the playlists. If you enjoyed this one, you can find plenty more at this same level under the 'gentle level' playlists.
Love the music the exercises and only text prompts. Thank you
Thank you for your feedback:)
It's not as easy as it looks! You really get a nice workout thank you
Thank you!
Top! I needed a easier pace today found this gem. Did it x 2 to get 20 minutes activity. Your presentations are appreciated. 😀
Thank you!
Thank you Jules...soooooo. very kind of you. ❤
Thank you!
This is a really great workout! I've been doing it regularly for a little while, now.
My favorite exercise is the hamstring curls, because that's when I feel it the most. :)
Thank you! I have some gentle all-in-one workouts, too, which I hope will work well for you.
@@ImprovedHealth You're welcome! Thank you. :) I should check them out.
I still love your 10 minute exercises the best. I can do three different 10 minute walks interspersed with either upper or lower body specific exercises…and stop for tea in between!🥰. As a 75 year old with osteoporosis and osteoarthritis being treated with drugs to hopefully lower the risk of cancer reoccurrence….this formula works for me. Thank you. So appreciate your videos. And yes, I’m subscribed.
Thanks Ann. I’ll plan to make more 10 min workouts soon.
I understand how you feel , Ann, I suffer with osteoarthritis and osteoporosis, which are being treated with meds. X
Came across your channel today and LOVE it. The area and leg movements are not overly complicated like others. Will definitely be using your channel in the future. Looking forward to the twenty minute version.❣️
Welcome to my channel, Hilda! If you look at my playlists, you'll find a playlist for 'true beginner' workouts. I hope more of the workouts in this playlist work for you. Thanks so much for sending me a message.
Just found your channel and subscribed. I’ve been inactive for too long. I think your
channel is right up my alley ❤️
Thank you
Thanks Rhonda and welcome to my channel:) If you go to my playlists, you'll notice I have all of the gentle workouts put together which will help you find the ones that suit you. Once these become easier, you can move up to the 'beginner' workouts. I hope that helps.
Oh, Julie, what a day I’ve had! We only got to do this easy 10 minute workout today. 😞
Mid morning my back decided to reek havoc on me. I finally had to make a trip back to the Chiropractor. I think that will be back on track soon-I’m glad I’ve finally learned to go to him early on when I have trouble.
Maybe tomorrow will be a better day.
I’m sorry to hear about your back:( Take the time you need to allow it to heal. The seated gentle or beginner workouts might be the best option right now. Those workouts are still very beneficial:)
@@ImprovedHealth , we will probably go back to those, at least for now. Back to chiropractor Wednesday ; maybe I will make great progress by then with home therapy.
Just what I need at the moment, waiting for an operation so will also be good to start here after it too. Thank you.
Wishing you a short wait for the operation and a speedy recovery after:)
Loving your videos to inspire and help me to make more effort to exercise. Thank you . I particularly like the ones to music.
Thanks so much, Carole. I agree, I think having music is better:)
I did also today the 10 minutes walk I enjoyed it to help me even more. Thank you
Amazing indoor workout .. 🇺🇸❤️
This is a nifty little walk that lends itself to not only intensifying each move but introducing more sophisticated arm moves, especially above the head. The walk became a light jog and I can truly say my heart rate elevated quite a bit. It's a really nice routine to start or end an exercise period, or to sandwich in between other routines. I really like your soft, gentle banter, too!...Anastasia
Thank you very much for your thoughtful feedback. I put out a new gentle walk last week and one again today so you'll have some more to add to your selection:)
Finally found a good workout channel ❤️🇺🇸🇺🇸
It's a great place to start. Thank you
Thank you! I have plenty of gentle level workouts in the 'gentle level' playlists, with different times so you can work up to more time when you're ready. Congratulations for starting!
thank you for making this video, it really helps me to be able to exercise during my sickness. i also like the your other exercises, keep up the good work. thanks again
Thanks so much, Wina. I appreciate you taking the time to comment:)
I love this one! I do it after I do your Gentle Exercises for Seniors video. Thanks so much!
Thank you!
Thank you! I actually just had a hysterectomy and did this slow walking one and it helped. I couldn't do alt the exercises yet but I tried most. :) Thanks!
I have lots of gentle level workouts if you're looking for more. Just go under the 'gentle level' playlists for more. Wishing you a quick and full recovery!
I appreciated your video. I have a knee injury that hasn’t help me with my weigh. This was just what I needed. Thank you! Your calmness was enjoyable through this video. 🙏💕😇
Thank you, Denise. If you enjoyed the pace of this one, you can find plenty more at this level under my 'gentle level' playlists. I create 3 levels (gentle, beginner and intermediate).
Thank you for these exercises. My parents both love it
I’m so happy to hear they are enjoying the workouts. Thank you so much for letting me know:)
Hi, I just found this video and I'm so glad!! I'm 45 but suffer from tummy issues and pain issues, so some days are so hard to get through without exercise. Yet I don't feel up to it, so I push through and make myself feel sick. This is perfect for those days, or days when I have a cold or the flu. I'd say this is perfect for Covid patients too, who need to move and get some exercise but have no energy. I move faster on days I feel better and at your pace when I don't have the energy to go faster. I see you have lots of videos and I'll try those. I will say that people using workout videos like to hear the instructor encouraging them. These tend to be people uncomfortable at gyms at the moment or unable to afford them, or possibly unable to get outside, so having that interaction is very helpful. I also liked the silent one you did that I tried today. A good mix!
Welcome to my channel and I am so glad to read that you enjoyed this gentle walk.

If you enjoyed this one, you can find plenty more at this same level under the 'gentle level' playlists. I hope you enjoy more of the workouts when you try them out!
I'm using your videos after an electric bike accident 2 months ago, fracturing my pelvis. I think this'll be a good way to work my way back to full-time cardio.❤
I'm sorry to read about the accident, but so glad to read that you're able to walk again and focus on improving your strength. I have lots of gentle workouts that will hopefully work for you at this time.
I love that I found you. I incorporate your walking and chair exercises into my Pulmonary Rehab after-care program. I love it when you say "if this is too easy", as I barely keep up lol!, but I've stayed with you for over 6 weeks. 😊 I subscribe!
Congratulations for working out for 6 weeks now, Marty! That's great! I haven't created any new chair exercises or gentle standing workouts in a while but I will be getting back to offering more in the near future. I also have a special guest coming on soon who specialized in pulmonary rehab so I will have some of those videos for you soon, too:) Thank you for subscribing!
@@ImprovedHealth You have more than enough videos in your library to keep me motivated and engaged! Looking forward to what you have coming out next, particularly the work of the Pul. Rehab person, as they would know, we tend to rest when needed, which allows us to continue moving! 😅
Thank you for this video. I had surgery recently and I’m using this to help me get back into my fitness routine.

Thank you for the info! I will definitely check out more videos and your website 😊
I just discovered you and I love the exercise. It the right length of time.
Welcome to my channel, Barb! I hope you enjoy the other workouts as you get through them.
Great workout! It was a little too slow but I picked up the pace as you suggested! Thank you!
It is slow but meant for seniors who need the slow pace. A lot of the other walking workouts are a faster pace if you want faster. If you look at the ‘playlists’, I’ve grouped them into different levels.
I found you whilst looking for a good but gentle workout as i've not exrcersised for a while due to various things going on in my life so this for now is just perfect. Thanks so much. Xx
Welcome to my channel, Lucy! If you go to my playlists, you'll see a whole bunch of gentle workouts offered there. When you feel ready, you can always move to the beginner workouts:) For now though, I hope you continue to enjoy the variety of gentle workouts.
@@ImprovedHealth I've just found more of your gentle exercise videos. Thanks so much for posting them. I'm looking forward to trying them out and hopefully getting myself back in shape and maybe along with my new and improved diet i will loose a few pounds along the way. Lucy.xx
Hello for making & sharing this video. It is low impact and very helpful for people like me who are just starting again to do some exercises to first built stamina. Cristina (NY)

I really like your calm demeaner - the quiet music. And i can make my own variations according to the level of energy I have. Thank you!
Thank you for your kind comment, Helena. ❤️
You are amazing! Perfect workouts for everyone. A big Thank You!
Aww, thank you so much, Debby.❤️
Love your classes
Thank you!
Thank you for creating this exercise content. The gentle walk motivated me to do it. Sometimes starting with 5 or 10 minutes of “easy” seems like an achievable goal that gets you moving.
Thanks for that feedback, Susan. I'll add the link so you'll have more gentle workouts to choose from: th-cam.com/play/PLsPoR5SimhuUXgS8uQp8zwYpnEb7-3A4e.html
Thank you, this is wonderful! I have lyme and occipital neuralgia at age 53 and i used to walk alot. This feels great on my joint pain too.
Thanks for letting me know that this worked for you. If you go to my playlists, I have lots of gentle workouts in the 'gentle' playlists. I hope you enjoy more of them. I think the newer ones I've created are much better than this one.
@Improved Health Thank you so much! I subscribed and will definitely do the later ones. I didn't trigger my occipital neuralgia with your video today
( it's a new diagnosis for me, mainly scalp and hair movements trigger it). Your video was literally the best time I've had with movement in a year without triggering 😊 I am so happy and hopeful to get my conditioning back thank you thank you 💓
@@user-dianejcml I'm so glad this one worked. I truly hope more of the gentle ones I created work well, too. I look forward to hearing if the other ones work for you.
I am really enjoying your walking videos . I am only doing the short ones now , but hope to progress to the longer ones in due time .
I love that you are looking forward to progress:)
Also wish all of your videos had a countdown with time and included the number of steps taken. That is so important to me also as a motivator. Thank you much
Hi Anne! When I do videos with certain times such as 30 second intervals, I always use a clock with a countdown now. In the talking videos, it's a little bit harder to stick to the 30 second countdown because I usually don't stick with the 30 seconds but instead change it up when I feel it's time to change the exercise move. But, when I do videos in the future with set times, I will include the clock. I have had others give the same feedback so I think most people like to have the clock:) The steps are also included now, too, and I agree, music always motivates people but surprisingly, some people actually prefer the videos without (due to hearing loss and not being able to hear my voice). I am getting better at editing, though, and I am trying to ensure my voice is louder than the music so it works for most people. I appreciate you taking the time to provide me with feedback. Thank you!!!
Thank you that's good to know about slowing down the video. Thank you
Great class! Thank You
Thanks Sheila:)
This is a great workout as I'm recovering from food poisoning. Thanks!
Oh no! Sorry to hear about the food poisoning...awful:( I wish you a speedy recovery.
So glad I found you! This is perfect for me.
Thanks for letting me know that you enjoy this one, Sylvia. Lots more at this level under the 'gentle level' playlists.
These work outs are great and I’m very thankful to you. I’ve been doing to 20mins too really good. One thing though I don’t know if it’s me or if the music is not great for your beat I like it but struggle to move to the beat (sorry)
I often put music in after the fact since the sound quality is better but I understand what you’re saying. I’ll work on this.
Thank you, for the my low impact body movements-I always breath & I feel energized!! Detroit
Excellent! You can find all of my gentle workouts on my website if you’d like more. www.improvedhealthforseniors.com
If one were to be judged by the number of fitness videos one sees, I should be the WORLD FITNESS CHAMPION !
I achieve all this from the cosy comfort of my chair, moving *only my thumb* to 'like' the video and subscribe to the channels.
Never once am I on my legs to try out the moves, however impressive they may be.
*But all that changed with your video.*
It suddenly struck me that *nothing* could be easier; and if i didn't try it at least once, i would be a loser!
So i did it! The first time, the hand-leg coordination was a challenge. But I went through the motions as best as I could. When the video ended, i was relieved that i had lasted the whole 10 min.
I subscribed to the channel and also added it to my *fitness* playlist, ( where countless similar videos lie in a perennial state of hibernation. )
Today, late evening, I played the video again, and went through the moves. The much better hand-leg coordination was the pleasant surprise! I felt really involved and the whole session seemed shorter!!
And this time, when it was over, I could actually feel the blood rushing through the veins and arteries !!
I am going to look forward to these 10 min everyday from now on; and also see more of your other videos.
Thank you!!.
I think I am going to walk your talk.
Krish from India🙏
Oh wow, what an awesome comment to read today. THANK YOU!!! I truly hope you continue to enjoy the variety I create, Krish. Welcome to my channel and thank you for letting me know that you're new here. Just to help you navigate the channel, I create 3 levels of workouts (gentle, beginner and intermediate) and categorize them all into the playlists. If you enjoyed this one, you can find plenty more at this same level under the 'gentle level' playlists. I also started a second channel dedicated to chair workouts and will add the link for you here: youtube.com/@ImprovedHealthChairWorkouts
I now upload all new seated workouts to the new channel. A lot of people like to use the seated stretches on the new channel and the seated workouts also come in handy when the walking is too much some days.
Lastly, 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.
@@ImprovedHealth
Thank you for all these links.
Like the infamous ' Insulin Resistance ' I suffered from 'Exercise resistance '. And it was your channel that was the breakthrough!
After acquiring a complete fluidity of these ' first ' exercises, i am very soon going to try to incorporate ALL your routines.
🙏
@@krish6729 AMAZING!!!
Thank you for encouraging me to exercise
Kudos to YOU for making it here and taking care of YOU:)
I have been down for 6 days and this gentle workout was perfect for getting moving again. Thank u😊
Welcome back!
Brilliant just what I needed at the moment , whilst having physio for painful hip joint . Thank you 😊
Thanks so much, Marion! I hope your hip gets better soon.
Sadly, I've let myself become seriously unfit. I really like your workout videos. I'm 56yrs old and I'm looking to do these worouts every day.
You're here, and you're doing it! My suggestion is to commit yourself to doing 5 minutes each day no matter how tired you might be. For most people, after the 5 minutes you'll become energized and motivated to do more and will likely finish the 10-15 minute workout video that you started. Stick with short workouts until it gets easier and until it becomes more of a habit. Welcome to my channel and I truly hope my workouts keep you coming back daily.
Thank you. They've really helped me. I'm clinically obese. I'm on my feet 8 hrs a day, so these exercises are a massive help. I'm also having trouble sleeping, so again I'm sure they'll help. Thanks for everything.
Thank you!
Restarting so enjoyed. It. Thank you❤
Welcome back!
