These seated exercises are just the ticket. I'm slowly getting stronger while protecting my knees and my back. TY.
Thanks so much for your comment:)
I'm grateful for Jules doing all these great workouts for us Seniors - & for Robin & I to get together 3 times a week & do these classes. It's awesome! 💗
Thank you, Jacquie!
Have been doing your exercises about a month as close to 7 days a week as possible. Yesterday I noticed I now just pop up out of my chair after so many sit to stands! That was not the case a few weeks ago!!!!! Thanks you so much for your youtube exercises!!!!
Oh wow! Thank you so much for sharing that with me, Christine! I'm so happy for you!!! I started this journey with creating videos for seniors for exactly this reason...to get seniors physically stronger to live a better quality of life. Thank you so much for letting me know about your progress.
@@ImprovedHealth
Hello Jules, the same thing happens to me, my legs feel strong, and a year ago I couldn't get up from the chair, or at least with difficulty, I even walk better!!
infinite thanks ❤
This is brilliant. I've been doing this with my 90year old mum, and the difference is remarkable. Thank You!
You have made my day with your comment. Thank you SO much for sharing that with me. I plan to create more seated workouts soon. If you have any requests, please let me know.
Tried this yesterday and love it. I hope you will do more chair exercises for those of us who have balance and mobility issues. Thank you for a great program.
Thanks Nancy. I will work on creating some new ones soon. In the meantime, have you looked at my playlists for chair exercises?
I just started this exercise, I believe this great exercises will benefit me and be a plus to my physical therapy. Thank you.🤗❤♿
Absolutely! Welcome to my channel! I hope you enjoy more of the workouts as you get through them.
I know that some people are not happy with you talking. I love it. I have a nephew who is blind, and I am encouraging him to try your programs. He is wheelchair bound suffering from Ataxia and is only in his mid 30's. I let you talk without being bothered because I know what exercise is next and I just start so I can do extra reps. It is so important that you talk to encourage people who have unbelievable challenges in their life that many people have no idea how hard their life is!
Hi Christine, thank you so much for your comment. Maybe with your input I could create an exercise program that would work for your nephew and others who are blind. If you're interested in helping me create a program, you can email me at jules.improvedhealth@gmail.com. I'm not sure if there is an exercise program online for people who are blind but I would be happy to create one.
Hey it’s lovely to meet you! I’m actually mostly blind myself. I’ve been scouring TH-cam for accessible audio workouts and my goodness they are not easy to find. I also use a wheelchair but I can stand with a walker for five minutes. So I’m trying to adapt as much audio cues and instructions as possible. It’s so hard when someone says “and then lift your arm like this“ and you don’t understand what they’re supposed to be doing lol. If you find any other easy but fun workouts, or perhaps even some accessible dances, feel free to reply! Cheers :-)
From a fellow friendly Paralyzed 25-year-old
@@ImprovedHealth hey there! I am visually impaired as well. I’m only 25, but I have to use a walker and a wheelchair. Have you made any progress with this?
I’m very slow on my exercise because I like to do between 10-20 slow repetitions of each exercise. I’m slowly getting stronger but I get out of breath quickly so I need a little breaks.
I would love to find more audio based exercises and even dances! With fun popular music. You can say stuff like, now step to the right, step to the left, go back to the middle, slide back, hop forward two times, leave your hands from right the left, pretend you’re swimming to the left, pretend you’re swimming to the right, flip your hair right/left, put a hand on your hip, shrug your shoulder, etc.
I have been rotating some of the classes this week and the cardio ones definitely make me sweat! I need to sit in chair or use chair as support while standing but I am able to do with some light weights. I also did the one to work on balance. I hope that I can stay motivated and continue with these because I think they can be helpful with my mobility and strength! Thanks for these exercises!
Thank you again for your feedback. It’s really appreciated. I will be uploading more next week so you will have more options soon:)
I love it, thank you! Lately my feet have been getting tired, and I decided to do some chair exercises, 30 minutes? I said sure! And I actually felt it!!!❤
You sound like a super positive person...love it! Welcome to my channel. Just to help you navigate the channel, I create 3 levels of workouts in both seated and standing workouts (gentle, beginner and intermediate) 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
Still doing your exercises as many times a week as I can. I am now keeping a ball squeezed between my knees during many of the exercises to increase the workout.
That's a great idea to build strength in your legs, Christine! I love that you are doing the workouts as many times a week as you can. I am sure you are feeling strong with the increased workouts.
Started yesterday. Thursday dec 15/22’. What a great workout. Our apt buildings doing it twice a week. And I too love how you direct us and get us smiling 😊
I'm thrilled to read that your apt building is putting this on! Thanks so much for sharing that with me. I am hoping to have my website updated by the end of the day tomorrow and will have all of the videos organized well. It'll be easier to find videos and hopefully you can try some other ones as well. My website is www.improvedhealthforseniors.com. Thanks again.
Thank you 💕 for doing this exercises with us is good for our body thanks again
Oh my goodness. My entire body was so tight. With just 1 session I feel 100 times better. Will definitely continue to do/watch this video on a regular basis. Thx so much ❤️
So happy to hear you enjoyed it and felt the benefits! Thanks for commenting!
I have osteoarthritis and facet joint disease throughout my spine. Never thought I d get fit again until I found you. Thank you xxx

So happy I found your youtube exercises. I've done yours and gone on to try other people but always come back to yours!
That is super meaningful to me. Thank you so much for sharing that with me.❤️
I go to an exercise program once a week at a nearby community centre. I'm the youngest there (age 37) since everyone else is either late thirties or middle aged to senior. I love doing your workouts.
Thank you for letting me know that you're enjoying these workouts. I definitely appreciate it. In case you haven't seen it, I recently launched a new chair workout channel. All of the new chair workouts get uploaded to the new site. www.youtube.com/@ImprovedHealthChairWorkouts
@@ImprovedHealthThank you 😊 I subscribed
@@annieberry4008 Thanks Annie!
Too cold to walk this am. This 30 minute stretch of yours is a perfect backup. Thank you from Charlie, who is still in Syracuse New York 👍
It's cooling down here as well. Glad you enjoyed this one, Charlie.
We did this one for the first time, today. Not as many steps on my step count, but a great workout, nonetheless. Upper body, especially!! Plenty of opportunities for stretching muscles all throughout. Good workout, as always, Jules! Thanks!!!! We appreciate you so much!!
And I appreciate your comments so much:)
Jules, I'm thankful for you and your many videos. I get bored with exercise super quick so I usually look for a video I haven't done before...and find one thanks to your variety. The skill level is great for me too.
Thank you! I am certain I already gave you the link to my other channel so you have more options, BUT just in case I haven't, here you go:) youtube.com/@ImprovedHealthChairWorkouts

My mom got it done 😊 thank you
Jules, my sister, put you on my phone so I can exercise , it is fun and good work outs thankyou 😊

Much more difficult than anticipated. 😵💫...YAY!!! You got to me just in time. 🤓💪💯Thank you‼
Chair exercises are much more of a workout than a lot of people realize. I'm so glad you felt the benefits:) In case you haven't seen the new channel, I'll add the link here: www.youtube.com/@ImprovedHealthChairWorkouts
We did it!!! We were both feeling a little draggy today, but we got our morning exercise in!!! Yea!!!!
I'm amazed that you both motivate each other to work out despite feeling like you don't want to some days. It's great, Mary.
@@ImprovedHealth , we’re a team, for sure!!
@@MEw650 I love that you're a team.❤
I have knee replacements so cannot do many floor excersises or running/jumping. So I do stationary biking, but these movements are great on off days for upper body, especially. Good, solid program. Thanks!
Thank you, Pat! I’m super happy to read that these work well for you.
Great job ! Thank you for this complete workout 🏋️♀️ 😊😊🇫🇷
I am glad you are enjoying these workouts:)
I love Doing seated exercise it's better for me thank you easy tips

I like this exercise. My doctor said to do chair exercises/yoga for sciatica to relieve pain.
Welcome to my channel! If you go to my playlists, you’ll find all of the gentle workouts categorized there. You’ll also find them on my website (www.improvedhealthforseniors.com).
outstanding...thank you. Very much appreciated
I enjoyed this workout, after my hip being mad at me yesterday for some reason, I wasn't sure how I'd fit in some kind of movement/exercise today. Then this video popped up, it was just what I needed and my hip didn't yell at me once, haha. Thanks!
Thank you for letting me know that this one worked well for you. I think I gave you the link to my new seated channel, but in case I haven't, I'll add it here: youtube.com/@ImprovedHealthChairWorkouts
@@ImprovedHealth Yes, you did! Thanks!
I love everything about your seated exercise videos!
Wow! Thank you!!! In case you haven't seen the new chair channel, I'll add the link here: youtube.com/@ImprovedHealthChairWorkouts
I'm doing this workout 3 years after you first put it out. Thank you!
In case you haven’t seen it, I started up a second channel for seated workouts so between the two channels, you’ll have lots of options. You can find my second channel under my ‘channels’ tab.
@ImprovedHealth I appreciate the information. I will take a look. I need both knees replaced, one at a time, I hope. I will be seeing you daily pre and post surgeries.
I really enjoyed this. I will try to watch more and improve my time.

Hi jules really enjoyed doing this chair work out really enjoyed doing this thank you ❤❤
Thanks Jean! You are so good about being consistent with exercising daily. It's awesome.
Had fun as a first time to your guide and even though my left shoulder is achy.
Thank you
I'm glad you enjoyed it:) Thanks for taking the time to comment.
I really like your routines because you tell us what we should be feeling for each stretch so we know if we are doing it correctly.
Thank you for that feedback, Bonni. I appreciate that and will keep that in mind as I continue to teach.
I did
Thanks a million!
If you liked this one, you can find plenty more like it under the 3 levels of chair workouts (gentle, beginner and intermediate). I also have a new channel dedicated to chair workouts here: www.youtube.com/@ImprovedHealthChairWorkouts
Love these classes
Thanks so much, Maggie.
Thanks so much for your help with this exercises! It helps a lot! 🙏🙋♀️Hi 👋from Israel 🇮🇱💐🏡
Welcome Ofra! Great to hear you are working out with me all the way from Israel!
Thank you.
I’m starting to see you every day and loving it
Big smile here...thanks Christine!
Question for you Jules: I am an 80-year-old guy and love the challenge of this. Is every other way about right for this routine no matter what else one is doing?
Hi! I just want to make sure I understand your question, do you mean, 'is every other day about right'? If so, you can do this every day if you wish. To see the most benefits, my suggestion is to pick different workouts throughout the week since each workout is slightly different and you'll target different muscles. Just so you know, I have a second channel dedicated to chair workouts and will add the link for you: youtube.com/@ImprovedHealthChairWorkouts
Thank yoU for the explanation !
Thanks ! That felt so good
Thank you for commenting:)
Thank you so much!

More power and God bless. ❤
Love your video I started this morning I am 76 with vertigo
Thank you Enny!
Nice workout. Music was perfect.
Thank you!
Wonderful exercises for me. I’m a senior and have become very sedentary and sluggish. These exercises really help to energize me. Also, where did you get that fabulous wall covering/mural?
Thank you and welcome to my channel! I'm glad to read that you're looking forward to moving more. 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 hope that helps!
As for the mural, I mostly search on Amazon under 'tapestries'. I have some of the links under 'shop' on my website.
Love these seated exercise routines. I have one question for anyone monitoring the comments. I cannot point my toes due to severe damage to my feet in an auto accident. What can I do to instead?
Hi Iris, it's Jules here. I read all of the comments on my channel. Don't worry about not being able to point your toes. Just do a heel tap or do the best with what you can do. You're moving and being physically active and doing the workout to the best of your abilities, which is great. You'll still definitely benefit from the workout whether you do a toe or heel tap:)
5 day I feel better little aches but I won’t give up
Great attitude!
Thank you. Sometimes I don't know where the muscle is that you reference. Just a quick indication for clarification. Thanks
Thanks for your feedback.
Am not senior yet but I enjoy this
Definitely don’t have to be a senior to be here:) Thanks for participating and for taking the time to comment.
I love your chair workout. I enjoy exercising after you. Can you figure out how much you spend on this 30 min workout?
Hi, I didn't calculate steps when I first started creating videos so I'm not sure what the total is on this one.
Much enjoyed as always -at86 and counting . nercixxxxxx
James, you are awesome. I love how you understand the importance of exercise. ❤️💪
Love the movements. Please lower the music volume next time. Can't hear much the talking but above all pretty good exercise😍😍😍
I started this work out in May 2024 and could barely do 10 minutes. It's now end of August 2024 and I work out to this video twice back to back for a total of 60 minutes. I definitely feel and look better. My energy level has really improved. Thank you for sharing this work out on TH-cam.
Oh, wonderful!!! Thanks so much for sharing your progress with me. In case you haven't seen my second channel for chair workouts, I'll add the link for you. You'll have lots of options to change things up: youtube.com/@ImprovedHealthChairWorkouts
@@ImprovedHealth thank you. I will check out your other options. The 30 minute workout has been a great start for me. Several years ago I was hit by a drunk driver. I've had 2 back surgeries. Every time I tried to start working out again I would have to stop because it was too much stress on my back. Your chair workout has been perfect. Thanks for caring enough about others to share your knowledge about how to achieve results working out without causing stress and pain on our old bodies 😁
@@Debra-c2j Thanks Debra. I'm so sorry to read about what caused the back pain and the reason for the surgeries. Thank you for letting me know that these workouts are helping.🫂
Good work out
Hi Jules. Love your programs which I use with my fellow residents in my retirement village and present at a Day Centre for Seniors, many with early dementia. (I like your Dementia videos especially for this group). I have a problem at the Day Centre though - the equipment available does not include WiFi and it's a bit of a problem having to take my laptop, dongle, speakers, cords etc with me. Is it possible to get your videos on CDs or even in a form that I can download onto a memory stick? Happy to pay for these of course.
I'm 83yrs, I live in Sydney, Australia. I started doing You Tube exercise videos when we were first locked down with Covid - and I've never gone back to my previous exercise classes. Many friends in my village were in the same situation so we get together to do your programs now - doing it together is more motivating.
Thank you
Bev
Thanks so much for your message, Bev. I’ve had other people ask from time to time as well about DVD’s. It’s time I look into it. Can you email me at Jules.improvedhealth@gmail.com? We’ll figure something out that will work for you.
Very good....
Would be great if you could play some oldie music 🎶 with the chair exercises
I totally agree with you but it's very complicated trying to find music that is allowed to be used. I recently created one with popular oldies and it got blocked due to copyright laws. I would use popular oldies all the time if I could.
These are great! Do you have a DVD that we can purchase. It would be easier for the two of us to watch, rather than watching it on the small laptop screen. And if so, where can we buy them. Thanks.
I think you might have messaged me as well through email. I wrote you a response through email:)
Senior !! But you do very fast ! Please slowly. ❤
Hi! I create 3 levels (gentle, beginner and intermediate levels). If you go to the playlists, you'll find a gentle seated playlist which you might enjoy more. I hope that helps!
I do wish either the music was turned down quite a bit lower or completely off. It’s so distracting and quite loud. But I do appreciate the classes I really do.
I wish I had turned the music down in this one. Editing has been an ongoing learning process and dealing with the music and sound, is always challenging. Once the video is up, I can't edit the sound level.
Great workout but I would suggest a version without music. Many elderly having hearing issues and the music makes it harder to follow
I agree, this one I messed up the music and had it louder than I intended:( My other videos have music that is softer, or no music at all. I tend to put music in most of them (at a quieter level) to help drown out the sound of my feet on the floor.
Can you do a seated exercise for just lower body
I'll give that some thought, Mindy.
I work as a caregiver and my seniors can't sit in a chair but they do sit in arm chair or couch. They love this workout but , a slower paced on in an arm chair would be amazing for them. Do you have such a video?
I have lots of 'gentle' workouts. If you look at my playlists, you'll see them under 'gentle seated workouts'. You can also find them on my website: www.improvedhealthforseniors.com. I hope those work well for your group.
My mother has macular degeneration. If you added contrast to the picture it would be helpful. A dark background with light clothing or vice Versa.
Thank you for the feedback. I've had a few others mention it as well so I'm trying harder to improve on that. In case you haven't seen my new channel dedicated to chair workouts, I'll add the link for you here: www.youtube.com/@ImprovedHealthChairWorkouts
👍❤️
Thank you!
I really enjoyed your workout this afternoon I'm a new subscriber do you have any DVDs that I can purchase Looking forward to looking at more of your videos please send me information
Hi Marilyn, you're the second person to ask me about DVD's today so I have written myself a note to look into what is involved with creating them. For now though, you can find all of my workouts on my website at www.improvedhealthforseniors.com. Welcome to my channel!
Maravilhosa 😍
Thank you!!!
anyone know of an exercise site that does not include pressure to knees asI have one soon to be bone on bone. . not to say this is not great routine
Hi Carole, have you tried my gentle seated workouts? I purposely design the gentle ones to be manageable for anyone. Please either go to my website (www.improvedhealthforseniors.com) or to my 'gentle/true beginner seated' playlist on TH-cam. Those workouts should work for you. I hope so!
How do I find the "Day 2-7" of this class? Not only am I a beginner, but I am challenged with respect to the internet.
Hi Laurie, there aren't actually more videos to go with this one but I do have plenty more seated workouts. If you click on my logo (the circle that says 'Improved Health'), you'll then see 'videos' and 'playlists'. Click on the playlists. From there you will see I have created different categories of fitness levels so people can find the workouts that suit them best. Let me know if you need more help:)
@@ImprovedHealth thank you for taking time to reply. "I think I've got it!" I am combining walks outside with these videos in order to get a starting point. Goal - just to get through 7, and then 14...
@@lauriephelan3391 That's an awesome goal:)

Thank you!
My arms are going to be sore. 😂 no pain no gain
It can be normal to feel a little bit of soreness if you're new to certain exercises but hopefully it doesn't last long. If you ever feel it's too much when you're doing it, you can do a little bit less with the reps until you get used to the workouts:)

Just a question. I am a senior women and no other way to say it but I have a saggy butt. Is it possible to sit and firm up the muscle there. Please let me know
You can put your hands at the sides of your chair to support you, lift your glutes and squeeze/flex your glutes for several seconds, sit back down and repeat. If you're able to stand, you can also do sit-to-stands which will help to strengthen your legs and glutes. I'm going to attach my other channel for you for some variety in the exercises, too: youtube.com/@ImprovedHealthChairWorkouts
@@ImprovedHealth thank you I will start doing these.
Nice hair:))
I would like this class better if she started off with a full body warm up. Just going straight into arm exercise after arm exercise is not feeling very good on my arms. It's way too much work on the same arm muscles for far too long. This does not seem like its for beginners. Some stretching and balancing would be nice too. I feel like there is not enough core involvement. This seems like all arm and leg work. I'll keep searching for a more rounded beginners class.
Hi, you could try the ‘true beginner or gentle’ seated classes under the playlists. They are likely more what you are looking for. Thank you for the feedback.
Its too fast for Old senior.
I create gentle, beginner and intermediate level workouts. If you to the gentle ones, I am sure those would work for you. You can find them all in the playlists or otherwise on my website at www.improvedhealthforseniors.com. Just go to the ‘gentle seated workouts’.
Im 74 and my husband is 75 and we do this daily. We can both tell the difference in mobility and strength!
to much upper body; not enough with back or stretch
Hi Esther, each class/workout is different and focusing on different things to give variety. If you go to the playlists and try some of the other workouts you will have a well-rounded program. Thank you for the feedback. I always appreciate it as it helps to improve.
I really love this. As I have gotten older I have less balance and this helps me be more confident.
Thank you, Brette. If you look at the playlists under my channel you'll be able to find similar classes which might also suit you. I'm happy to hear the class works for you:)

I always do your standing work outs but I"m so glad I found this one. I fell and broke my foot and so I can't put any pressure on it. So glad I can continue to exercise with you. You cover all of the bases! Thank you again for being here for us night after night, or day after day, whatever time we are all doing it. I do it at night!
I'm 7 days behind on comments and reading them back newest to oldest so just getting to these now, Charlene. I'm glad you've discovered that these seated ones are working for you until your foot heals.
I really liked this! I have MS which affects my legs so the leg part is difficult, but it did get my heart rate up which is rare for me Since I can’t move fast!
Hi Karen, I'm so happy to read this worked for you. I have categorized the videos in playlists so hopefully you will find more there that will work well for you. I have gentle, beginner and intermediate workouts.
thank you so much for replying!!!! I never thought you would! I'll keep looking for the tapestry. and now is time for my night work out.,
If you put in ‘beach tapestries’, or ‘tropical tapestries’ lots of options will show up:)
The music is too loud.it's distracting!🤔
You're right...this is one of my earlier videos and I'm not happy with the volume, either. Unfortunately I didn't realize it until it had been up for weeks and I couldn't edit it after it was already up. I've definitely had a lot to learn about the editing process and I think the volume in my other videos is much better.

Hi Jules, while I've been doing stretching it feels like I will turn into Jello if I don't start moving again! So I did this one and it really felt good to use some of my muscles again. I can't believe how tired I've become in just the few days I havent exercised. I see my doctor later today and am hoping for a green light on movement even though I still have a tiny bit of discomfort. Thanks Jules!
I know what you mean...I feel the same way if I haven't been able to exercise. The gentle seated workouts will also work well if your doctor thinks you need to have more rest. The gentle ones are more about working on range of motion and getting in some light exercise. I hope today went well.
from carrie richardson great work out.
Thank you!
Love your HIIT workouts & just did this one! I like that it had lots of different exercises in this one. Keep up the great job & motivation!!
Thank you! Just so you know I'll be uploading a new chair workout every week to my new channel: www.youtube.com/@ImprovedHealthChairWorkouts
Just found your exercises on YT; have been wheelchair bound for over a decade and am really feeling better after following them for two weeks. Thank you so much!
Welcome to my channel, Mary! I am so happy to read you are feeling better with the exercise. I'm going to be creating some new seated workouts soon...any requests?
@@ImprovedHealth Well, one of my issues is my shoulders, worse on the left. I just adjust the arm raises as I can tolerate. Of course, it's kind of limited what you can do in a chair, but you've developed some very good workouts. Thanks again!
I love your exercize s lots of fun
I absolutely love this I have a family member that had a mild heart attack that I think this would be totally awesome for her to get started doing something and I saved your interval wine as well I just pray that she’ll get motivated thank you so much
Thanks so much for sharing this with your family member. If you send her my website, maybe she’ll feel motivated since it’ll be easy to pick out gentle or beginner workouts. www.improvedhealthforseniors.com
Super
We really love your gentle chair workouts for seniors. Do you have 45 minute gentle chair workout for seniors. Thanks for adding 30 minute walking exercise for seniors. We really enjoy your session!.
I don’t have one, yet, but will try to create one soon. Thank you for your comment and request:)

I just started the 30 minute 5 day chair workouts for seniors , I’m 61 and have back problems, and breathing issues , this is great for me. I just finished day 2 , but only see it up to day 5 for the chair exercises, will you have more of them later. I do them from my tv and go to my phone to comment. Would love to continue them after day 5 is done.
Welcome to my channel, Barbara! Just so you know, I create 3 levels of workouts (gentle, beginner and intermediate and both seated and standing). I categorize the workouts into playlists on the channel as well as on my website (www.improvedhealthforseniors.com). I actually have lots of seated workouts in the playlists so you'll likely find lots more which would be suitable. The gentle workouts are designed mostly for range of motion, flexibility with some strength & minimal cardio. The beginner ones are a step up with more cardio and strength exercises. The intermediate workouts likely have too much movement for your back so you might want to stick with the beginner level workouts. I also create gentle standing workouts which should be fine for your back and breathing since they are designed to be gentle movements. After you get through more of the workouts, let me know if you feel something is missing:)

Ok that sounds good , thank you so much , also trying to get rid of a lil tummy fat.
@@ImprovedHealth
Do you have any chair exercises that’s good to help with tummy fat ??
@@niknik3366 All of the cardio workouts (especially the intermediate level) will help to burn calories (which includes helping tummy fat). You could also incorporate the seated core workouts daily which will help to tighten up the abdominal area.
@@ImprovedHealth
Oh great , thank you finished day 5 headed to the next one.
Thank you so much! You’ve given me hope !
I am so glad to read that you have hope. You can absolutely grow stronger! Just take your time, come back every day and choose a gentle workout and take day by day.
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!
