I am 82 years old. I have procrastinated for a long time about exercising, and then I found you on UA-cam. I have been doing the chair exercises with you for over a week now. I actually look forward to the session each morning. Thank you so much for your gift of your time and exercise techniques. I know my doctor will be please that I found someone who encourages me and that I’m actually doing the exercise - and enjoy doing them. Thank you!
Oh, wonderful! I am very happy to read your message this morning, Martha. Welcome to my channel! I truly hope you continue to enjoy the variety and keep coming back daily. It's amazing how much stronger we can get and you are starting at a great time to build strength & improve balance and flexibility so you continue to age well. 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.
I’ve had a lot of muscle weakness in my arms the last few years and I have decided to finally do something about it. Finding your videos has changed the way I feel about exercise. I don’t dread it!! I look forward to getting up before work and spending time strengthening myself and you make it fun and easy. I’m 54 and plan to grow old gracefully with your help!! Thank you for making a difference in so many lives, especially mine!! Keep up the good work! ❤❤❤ Teresa P
Hi Teresa, a massive THANK YOU for your wonderful comment. It is incredibly meaningful so thank you so much for sending it. Just so you know, 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.
Be thankful for getting older. Not everyone gets to. What a beautiful quote. Thanks Jules for another fantastic video. In the words of Ingrid Bergman:Getting old is like climbing a mountain; you get a little out of breath,but the view is much better. I am comparing your workout videos to this quote. Yes, we do get out of breath but our health gets better day by day . Thanks a lot for your hard work and time which you put in making these videos. You are changing millions of lives for better. Stay blessed❤
I have been enjoying your classes for the last several years. I get a nice rounded workout through classes. I do the weight classes and get a kick out of you when you say it is good for people from twenty and seventy. I am eighty and enjoy the program very much and I thought you could enjoy leading an eighty old woman
Lol, you're so right, Martha. I should have said 80, 90 and beyond! I also know some 80 year old's take better care of their physical selves than some 20 year old's. Kudos to you for continuing to work out and for taking care of yourself. 💖
Learning these movements will strengthen me and help me to help others learn how to be stronger in a gentle way. I am 77-years old and will be starting to teach Chair Exercise Class tomorrow morning at our community center. I am excited to share what I have learned from you. Your techniques and instruction are professional and friendly. Thank you so much.
Hi Nancy, thanks so much for your feedback and congrats on starting to teach classes! That's great! I'll add my second channel as well in case you haven't seen it: youtube.com/@ImprovedHealthChairWorkouts
Even though this is a beginners routine, I made it my own by ramping it up, but was grateful that your cardio section wasn't as demanding as it usually is: my section of NJ endured a bit over 5 hours of a nasty nor-easter last night and I was stressed, distressed, and somewhat scared. So in the sapped state I was in today I was grateful for this perfect routine. The opening posture routine was challenging. I welcomed it even though I don't have a posture problem. I feel much better now thanks to this gem, Jules!...Anastasia
I'm glad to read that you modified this to make it your own, and that the exercise helped with the stress of the weather. We've got a major snowstorm happening here today. Thankfully, it's Saturday and a good day to stay at home.
How I love your chair videos.❤❤Let me count the ways.💯 I would be lost without your seated videos and You inspire so many of us Seniors and your vocation working in nursing homes as a recreational therapist really shines through. God Bless You for all your hard work.🙏🙏🙏
I'm so glad to read that this worked well for your mom. In case you are new here, I'll provide a bit of info. 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.

This workout can be done by anyone, even the weakest or sickest. There are no excuses. Personally, I performed these exercises with pleasure. I used weights after your suggestion. I think women shouldn't avoid weights either, as strong arms are often more necessary for them than for men. Thanks, Jules.💛
I love all of your videos. Thank you and Improved Health for providing these videos. I really appreciate the way you tell us how we can use alternative methods, so we do not hurt ourselves. God bless you.
Thanks so much for your kind message, Denise. I'll add my second channel link in case you haven't seen it. I now upload all seated workouts to the other channel: youtube.com/@ImprovedHealthChairWorkouts
Loved this one Jules, just did it before bed. Thanks so much. Wish you lived here, so you could come and do a chair exercise for the senior tenants here
Thank you for the slower pace of these exercises, perfect for seniors. Most instructors are so hyped up it's hard to follow. I also like your interspersed comments of "this might be difficult to do or you maybe you have pain in your shoulders, etc." I feel like you are right in the room with me, understanding my body's pain.
Thanks for your great feedback, Cathy. It's definitely appreciated. I'll add my second channel in case you haven't seen it: youtube.com/@ImprovedHealthChairWorkouts

Cardio was very challenging for me even though I walk every day. I do yoga videos most days so do t get much cardio. I will return. The videos I do are from all over the world but I thought you sounded Canadian. Me too. I guess we do have a speech pattern.
This excercise helped with stretching my left arm as the muscle was tight. It feels better now I plan on coming to your channel regularly as the excercise will help me out tremendously. Thanks for having this video for us seniors. They are greatly needed and appreciated.😊😊❤🎉

Hi Jules: another amazing workout. I like this workout because you can sit in the chair. You have all kind of workout people can choose. So no one can’t say that they can not do any exercise. You always come up great workout. You absolutely amazing person. You always think of workout that any buddy can do. Have a great weekend. 😅😅😅😅
I REALLY appreciate these seated exsersizes. Im not a senior but im diagnosed with pots syndrome. So standing can be very hard. I do your seated exsersize everyday
Thank you so much for letting me know that you're enjoying these workouts. Just so you know, I also recently launched a new chair workout channel. All of these workouts will stay here, but any new chair workout will upload to the new channel. You can find it here: www.youtube.com/@ImprovedHealthChairWorkouts

Hi Jules: Sorry, my body still does not like chair exercises ( who knows why) so I did most of it standing. When I opened UA-cam yesterday, your wooden spoon cardio came up and I could not resist. Side effect: I feel my inner thighs today from squatting down. Thanks for making all these different videos for all levels of fitness. Beautiful quote for today at the end. Happy Friday
I have lots of viewers who can't do the standing workouts so I try to offer seated, too. This would be a tough one to modify to standing but I'm impressed you gave it a try! I'm glad to read that your thighs felt the squat move from the other day...shows they are working:)
Welcome to my channel, Sandy! I'm so glad you're enjoying the workouts so far. Just so you know, I have 3 levels of chair workouts (gentle, beginner and intermediate).

Really enjoyed the session. The time went by very quickly and I was able to do all of it although I stood for some of the exercises. I don’t mind if there is music or not. I’ll go with the flow!
I really like your workouts the best. I appreciate that you consider every ability level. I would like if you added exercises for pelvic prolapse, or identify them if they are already there. I have to work at that as well but most of them are too hard or on the floor which I cannot do. Thank you so much. I am looking forever and you are the very best to follow. You seem to consider everything and most do not.
Hi Eileen, thanks so much for your message. I brought a physiotherapist onto my channel for a video so I'll add the link here for the video she created regarding pelvic floor exercises: ua-cam.com/video/_0vtnVMd26E/v-deo.html I also started a second YT channel dedicated to chair workouts.

I’m currently doing seated exercises with a group of local seniors. Would you be able to provide me with a list of all the exercise in your 30 minute seated class (in the order presented)? Your help is most appreciated.
Wow, Jules.... today's quote is so beautiful.❤️❤️❤️ Enjoyed this workout just as it was, am feeling so good...( I'd stretched out with you at False Creek?, earlier in the morning)...That too, was an exceptionally lovely video...no doubts..you are the best🤗
Aww, thank you, Anuradha. When I turned 40 years ago, my mom said something on the lines of that quote and it really stuck with me. It's very true. So many people get upset about getting older. It's a fact of life and we absolutely should be grateful. What's the alternative? I'm glad that you enjoyed the quote:)
Appreciate the reminder to look at our arm position during posture work when against the imaginary wall. I was surprised to see my "wall" was curved, ha ha.
Hi hope all is well. Thank you for your videos. I have my Mom do these. She was in a nursing home where they kept in her bed for 4 months . She now lives with me. Sh6has lost so much muscle and strength in her legs that she hardly can hold herself up. Is there any thing else you would recommend for her. She is 92 years young, 5ft tall and weight 148
Bless you for taking your mom home and for taking care of her. I'm sorry to hear about the nursing home...so many good ones out there, but unfortunately lots of bad ones, too. I think what I'd recommend is to go to my website and go to the gentle seated workouts. Those would be the best ones for her to start with. You could also work on sit-to-stands with her (stand beside her and have her push herself up to a standing position from a seated position on the bed or chair to build strength in her legs). www.improvedhealthforseniors.com
I have been looking for an exercise routine where the elderly can sit, but also one that the person doesn't have to move the arms all the way up due to pain in the shoulder joints. Do you have something like that? It's for someone who wants to start doing exercises, over time, she may get better.
Hi! My suggestion would be to show her the gentle seated workouts. I create playlists and categorize each workout there. Some of the gentle workouts will have us raising our arms over our heads but she can modify the exercise and just raise her arm to whatever level is comfortable. I have had lots of people in my classes at work who also have past shoulder injuries. My gentle workouts would be the best ones for her to start with and avoiding any movements that bother her.
Hi my name is Anita Anita I purchase a programmer chair for senior exercise you're the one that I'm coming up with but I don't have it on my phone they've taken the money out from my bank but I can't find the chair exercises it's supposed to be a shot every day I like yours but I said this is it it's nice that you're sitting there doing it if you are it's okay but I just came across you looking for this exercise I feel that I've been cheated or scared one of the other I don't know I'm going to have my bank to put it tracer on it

I teach an exercise group for seniors. I have been showing videos so they can do on their own. All say your class is too fast. They can't keep up. Most people are 85+
Hi, thank you for your feedback. I create 3 levels of workouts. The gentle level would be more appropriate for 85+. They are designed to be gentle with slower movements. If you check out the playlists, you'll find them all categorized together. I also have them grouped together on my website (www.improvedhealthforseniors.com). I hope that helps.

Alternatively, you can find all of the workouts uploaded to my website at www.improvedhealthforseniors.com

Really enjoyed this video Jules
Thanks so much for letting me know, Wendy. I appreciate that!
I loved this! Just had 5 injections on my lower muscles this morning. The doctor said stretches are very good.
Thanks so much for letting me know that you enjoyed it, Karen.
Really enjoyed the session. The time went by very quickly and I was able to do all of it although I stood for some of the exercises. I don’t mind if there is music or not. I’ll go with the flow!
It's great to read that you stood when you could to get the most out of the workout.
Excellent video!
Thanks Joan!
I really like your workouts the best. I appreciate that you consider every ability level. I would like if you added exercises for pelvic prolapse, or identify them if they are already there. I have to work at that as well but most of them are too hard or on the floor which I cannot do. Thank you so much. I am looking forever and you are the very best to follow. You seem to consider everything and most do not.
Hi Eileen, thanks so much for your message. I brought a physiotherapist onto my channel for a video so I'll add the link here for the video she created regarding pelvic floor exercises: ua-cam.com/video/_0vtnVMd26E/v-deo.html I also started a second YT channel dedicated to chair workouts. You can find the new channel here: www.youtube.com/@ImprovedHealthChairWorkouts

I now upload all new seated workouts to the new channel.
Great day ❤😂🎉
Awesome, love your chair exercises. How about some stresses for sciatica. ❤❤❤Deb
I will have to do some research on that but do have quite a few stretching routines in the 'stretching' playlists.
I’m currently doing seated exercises with a group of local seniors. Would you be able to provide me with a list of all the exercise in your 30 minute seated class (in the order presented)?
Your help is most appreciated.
Hi, I'm sorry but I just don't have time to list all of the exercises (I work full-time in my regular job outside of creating videos).
Wow, Jules.... today's quote is so beautiful.❤️❤️❤️
Enjoyed this workout just as it was, am feeling so good...( I'd stretched out with you at False Creek?, earlier in the morning)...That too, was an exceptionally lovely video...no doubts..you are the best🤗
Anuradha - Yes. You are right. Today's quote is so beautiful. 🙂
@@lucius10 Thank you...i doubt anyone would disagree, sometimes one needs a nudge to see what's under one's nose..at least, i do...often!
@@anuradhab4481 🌞
Aww, thank you, Anuradha. When I turned 40 years ago, my mom said something on the lines of that quote and it really stuck with me. It's very true. So many people get upset about getting older. It's a fact of life and we absolutely should be grateful. What's the alternative? I'm glad that you enjoyed the quote:)
@@ImprovedHealth Jules, you are not telling the truth! You are no older than 25, well maybe 28....
Thus 3 days onus chair aerobics t
3 days is feeling like a whole body workout!
So glad that you're enjoying these and doing them daily!
I have a hip replacement not supposed to cross legs yet!? Perhaps after the second one, & more time has passed.( 3 months)
Appreciate the reminder to look at our arm position during posture work when against the imaginary wall. I was surprised to see my "wall" was curved, ha ha.
Lol, thanks for making me chuckle, Chris. 🥰
Good job tnx
Enjoy do much
Good
Hi hope all is well. Thank you for your videos. I have my Mom do these. She was in a nursing home where they kept in her bed for 4 months . She now lives with me. Sh6has lost so much muscle and strength in her legs that she hardly can hold herself up. Is there any thing else you would recommend for her. She is 92 years young, 5ft tall and weight 148
Bless you for taking your mom home and for taking care of her. I'm sorry to hear about the nursing home...so many good ones out there, but unfortunately lots of bad ones, too. I think what I'd recommend is to go to my website and go to the gentle seated workouts. Those would be the best ones for her to start with. You could also work on sit-to-stands with her (stand beside her and have her push herself up to a standing position from a seated position on the bed or chair to build strength in her legs). www.improvedhealthforseniors.com

I have been looking for an exercise routine where the elderly can sit, but also one that the person doesn't have to move the arms all the way up due to pain in the shoulder joints. Do you have something like that? It's for someone who wants to start doing exercises, over time, she may get better.
Hi! My suggestion would be to show her the gentle seated workouts. I create playlists and categorize each workout there. Some of the gentle workouts will have us raising our arms over our heads but she can modify the exercise and just raise her arm to whatever level is comfortable. I have had lots of people in my classes at work who also have past shoulder injuries. My gentle workouts would be the best ones for her to start with and avoiding any movements that bother her.
@@ImprovedHealth Thank you so much! I really appreciate it!
❤👍
Fabulous sweeti
Thanks so much, Bridget.❤️
Enjoy your chair exercises 6 days a week. 💕🙏
Oh, excellent! Thanks for letting me know. In case you haven't seen my other channel, I'll add it here: youtube.com/@ImprovedHealthChairWorkouts

Hi my name is Anita Anita I purchase a programmer chair for senior exercise you're the one that I'm coming up with but I don't have it on my phone they've taken the money out from my bank but I can't find the chair exercises it's supposed to be a shot every day I like yours but I said this is it it's nice that you're sitting there doing it if you are it's okay but I just came across you looking for this exercise I feel that I've been cheated or scared one of the other I don't know I'm going to have my bank to put it tracer on it
Hi, I'm sorry to hear about what's happening with the program you signed up with elsewhere. Here you will find free workouts that will always remain free. 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.
I teach an exercise group for seniors. I have been showing videos so they can do on their own. All say your class is too fast. They can't keep up. Most people are 85+
Hi, thank you for your feedback. I create 3 levels of workouts. The gentle level would be more appropriate for 85+. They are designed to be gentle with slower movements. If you check out the playlists, you'll find them all categorized together. I also have them grouped together on my website (www.improvedhealthforseniors.com). I hope that helps.
Thank you very much
