I have a bit of a foot injury and tried this seated video and it was great! Why did I think a seated workout would be easy? It was challenging in a good way! Thanks so much-
Lol, yes, so true! Seated workouts are not always easy...I have three levels of seated workouts so the intermediate ones are the most challenging ones I offer.
I hope it gets better soon, Barbara. Hopefully you can still enjoy your gardens, and I'm glad these seated workouts are coming in handy. I am certain I gave you the link to my chair channel but I'll add it just in case: youtube.com/@ImprovedHealthChairWorkouts
These seated workouts are such a bonus. I’ve put myself on a long term weight loss program, but with arthritis in one knee and a dodgy opposite ankle there are days of flare ups, and these workouts allow me to continue to move while reducing the stress on whichever joint is causing the problem at this point in time. Thank you.
I'm so glad that you're finding these helpful. I'll add the link to my seated channel in case you haven't seen it: youtube.com/@ImprovedHealthChairWorkouts I now upload all new seated workouts to the new channel.
Thank you so much for these. I have been experiencing mobility challenges that are improving... These chair workouts are my way to keep moving even in this season of my life. Thank you!
I'm so glad to read that these are helping. 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.
Thanks Connie! 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 now upload all new seated workouts to the new channel. 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.
Thanks, Jules. I recently broke a bone in my foot, so i switched to your chair exercises. I love the intensity of this one and HIIT chair exercise. I feel like I'm getting a good workout despite my foot!
Sorry to read about your foot! But, a massive kudos to you for finding workouts that work for you until your foot gets better. If you enjoyed this one, you'll find more at the same intensity in the intermediate seated playlists. Wishing your foot a quick recovery!
Thanks so much for letting me know that, Libby. I have a new seated stretch going up this morning on my chair channel. I'll add the link to the channel for you: youtube.com/@ImprovedHealthChairWorkouts
Welcome back, Jules,😃.....hope you had a lovely time with your loved ones.... I've got something lovely to look forward to this evening....this workout!!!!!Thank you in advance ..
Thanks so much, Anuradha. Last day off today...back to work tomorrow. It's been great having time with my family while I've been off work. I hope you have had a nice holiday season, too:)
Thank you so much for the new seated workout. I love that you included the step count. Although I'm pretty good at adapting standing to seated workouts, it's always exciting to see a new seated workout. Thank you for being so generous with these videos and wishing you a very happy New Year.
@@vickipowers7041 It's called 'Improved Health Chair Workouts' but it doesn't always pop up when you write it in the search bar since it's a small channel at this point. The new channel is for seated workouts, but also workouts where we are standing but use a chair for support. A lot of people from my regular channel also use the seated stretching routines on the chair channel as well. Here's the link: youtube.com/@ImprovedHealthChairWorkouts
I have a plan for some new workouts:) I am currently working on a standing series and then the seated series will be next. If you look under my playlists, you will be able to find lots of other seated workouts with many of the ideas you mentioned (I'll need a few weeks to get out the new series).
Thanks so much for doing a series of seated workouts. I’ve recently had some plantar fasciitis issues, and need to keep off my feet a bit. Didn’t want to lose my momentum, and follow all your walking workouts, so of course I looked to see if you had chair workouts. Thanks!!!!!
I am so glad you were able to enjoy the seated workout instead. I wish you a speedy recovery but in the meantime, I hope you continue to enjoy these workouts. 💗
Just what I needed to stretch and workout as I have slacked off during the last week. These seated ones are appropriate for us seniors but maybe a mixture of sit and stand in the near future please. Thank you and much good health and peace and prosperity in the New Year 👣
Thank you for the idea, Hilda. I do have some workouts with both seated and standing. I'll be creating a new seated series soon and will keep your suggestion in mind:)

Thank you so much, Esther. The seated workouts aren't nearly as popular BUT, I started this whole endeavor for seniors so I shall continue to offer the seated workouts, too:)
I really enjoyed this! I needed a good cardio and stretch today. And… I loved your talking and coaching throughout the workout! Very encouraging! Thank you!
Thanks so much:) I usually have people tell me they enjoy the 'no talking' versions so it's nice to read someone say they enjoy the instruction 😉. It's always a tough decision on which version to create!
Hello Jules: I didn't feel like sitting so I followed your instructions while standing until the stretching part. Worked well for me and no squeaking chair. Haha. Thanks
I've had a few people say they completed it standing...I hadn't thought of that when I created it. I love how people modify the workouts to suit their needs.
This was a challenge and I loved it. The countdown clock is great, I would look at it and say only so many minutes left , you can do it and I did. Thanks, The chair is good for me with a tear in my knee, less pressure on it.
Thanks so much for taking the time to comment. It seems the countdown clock is liked by lots of the viewers so I will continue to include it. This was a tougher workout so good for you for pushing yourself to continue:)
6:30am in New Jersey. Thanks for this Senior Jump start to my day. Big fan of the no talk videos formats. First one I tried was the BeeGees. Such fun. Thanks
Kudos to you for working out first thing in the morning. Thanks for letting me know that you enjoy the no-talking videos. I'll make more again in the future. I've started a second channel dedicated to chair workouts in case you're interested. I'll add the link here: www.youtube.com/@ImprovedHealthChairWorkouts
This was my first time after hip surgery. It was challenging but it was all worth it. The only thing I couldn't do was crossing the legs at the end as this not allowed after surgery. Thanks so much Jules❤
Sorry to read that you're having knee problems:( I'll add my second channel for you in case you haven't seen it. You'll have lots of options there: youtube.com/@ImprovedHealthChairWorkouts
Thanks for this workout again! Sure wish you would go back to making some new seated exercises again for us seniors with bad knees. It seems like you haven't made but one since May?
Aww, okay, I will get one out to you soon. I actually have one ready...I just haven't posted it. I'm not sure if you are on my Facebook page but I have announced that I am taking a year LOA from my full-time job soon (last day of work is next week Friday). My plan is to put my energy into TH-cam and to put up 3 workouts a week...one being a seated one. I am taking a little trip first in early Sept so by mid-Sept, you will start seeing a lot more content from me.
I am glad to read you gave it a chance:) The 'true beginner' and 'beginner' seated workouts are more gentle but when I put 'intermediate', it's definitely a step up.

I have a mild ankle injury. I can still get a cardio workout with your seated exercises. Thank you for the variety.

@@ImprovedHealth wonderful news!
Thank you Jules, I really appreciated it !!! This was my first time doing this particular one , it was GREAT and I loved the stretching !!
Thanks for your feedback, Vicki. I added a new 45 min seated workout on my other channel on Sunday.

Excellent. Love these as I am having knee surgery in February. Right now I can’t do standing aerobics so these are great.
Thanks Mary! Congrats on getting your knee surgery soon!
Yet another amazing workout. Thanks, Jules. 🙂
Thank you! In case you didn't see the new videos, I created a 5 day seated program recently.
Thank you , happy new year from Italy!!!!
Happy new year to you, too! I hope 2022 will be the year we can all gather and get back to regular life again.
Thank you very much, Jules for the exercise!
Thank you for taking the time to comment. I appreciate it!
Thanks so much for your lessons!
Hi Jules!
Hope you had a good Christmas! This looks great! Thank you!!!! ❤
I had a super relaxing Christmas day...(forced myself to relax). It was great. I hope you've had a nice holiday season so far. 💗
I appreciated your new seated workout and would love more! Maybe seated HITT, seated with a ball, seated cardio and weights. Thank you!
I have a plan for some new workouts:) I am currently working on a standing series and then the seated series will be next. If you look under my playlists, you will be able to find lots of other seated workouts with many of the ideas you mentioned (I'll need a few weeks to get out the new series).

Thank you so much, Esther. The seated workouts aren't nearly as popular BUT, I started this whole endeavor for seniors so I shall continue to offer the seated workouts, too:)
@@ImprovedHealth it seems easier to convert seated workouts to standing than the other way around so i support your decision.

This is what you need in the morning to recharge your energy and good mood for the whole day!😍
Thanks for the workout!😊👍
Working out in the morning is definitely energizing and helps us through the day (or it does for me anyway!).
@Improved Health 💪😊💛
Every move made sense...did them all sitting down,discovered(!) a whole bunch of muscles that needed unknotting...thank you for efforts..😄
This was a challenge and I loved it. The countdown clock is great, I would look at it and say only so many minutes left , you can do it and I did. Thanks,

Another great seated workout! 120 calories burnt sitting down 😀. Thank you Julesx
Thanks for letting me know that you enjoyed it, Liz!
Happy new year. X
Thanks so much, Fay. You too:)
Because of knee problems I have to workout seated. Great workout, but I have to get used to it. Thanks a lot!
Sorry to read that you're having knee problems:( I'll add my second channel for you in case you haven't seen it. You'll have lots of options there: youtube.com/@ImprovedHealthChairWorkouts
@@ImprovedHealth Thank you!
Thanks Jules for this great seated workout! Love the intermediate WO's. Can you incorporate bands into a few?
I will have a bunch of new workouts coming out sometime in January and will incorporate the bands:)
Thanks for this workout again! Sure wish you would go back to making some new seated exercises again for us seniors with bad knees. It seems like you haven't made but one since May?

Since you've asked, I'll schedule the new seated workout to go up tomorrow.
Normally I don’t do the seated workouts but gave it a go and it was equally demanding! Burned more than my usual calories - which is a good thing :)
I am glad to read you gave it a chance:) The 'true beginner' and 'beginner' seated workouts are more gentle but when I put 'intermediate', it's definitely a step up.
This morning’s workout!
What a good one; I thought my arms would fall off, lol. I only dropped my arms for about 2 seconds.
Congrats on keeping your arms up for basically the whole time:)
Could make it with out chair????
Absolutely...just work out on the spot:)
