    This was one of the most enjoyable workouts I have done of yours, Jules! Just wonderful. I did not even do the leg exercises in general since I am trying to atrophy the muscles from my legs and my legs hurt, however, I had a wonderful workout with this one for the arms. This was definitely one of the best yet! Thank you, Jules! I feel great!

    I picked this one randomly today, although I've done them all before. My arthritis is acting up so I can barely lift my arms and have frozen shoulders, as well as disabilities in my lower extremities keeping me in a wheelchair. Anyway, after doing this one today I felt so much better, more flexible with less pain. This is often the case. I do one of your 30 minute workouts every day and they really help. Thank you, Jules.

    I have a lot of pain in my left hip and am so glad I found these seated cardio routines to keep my heart happy while I rehap my hip. Two questions: How can consistantly find your intermediate chair workouts? What is the ideal chair? I've tried several in my house and none really feels that good. Thanks so much!

    • @ImprovedHealth
      @ImprovedHealth  25 днів тому

      Hi Sharon, I have all of my workouts placed into the playlists according to levels (gentle, beginner and intermediate levels). If you look on the main page, you'll see 'playlists'. Click there and scroll down to find the seated workouts. I also started a second chair channel and now upload all new seated workouts there: youtube.com/@ImprovedHealthChairWorkouts
      As for a chair, ideally you want a chair so that when you're sitting, your legs are bent at a 90 degree angle (or close to) while your feet are flat on the floor. This way you'll be able to move more easily. I find having a bit of cushioning on the chair is nice as well but not necessary. I hope that helps!

However, I paused the video, continued doing whatever footwork accompanied the arm moves, and when I was sufficiently rested, I continued the video and the exercise. I did this because I didn't want to lose the full time allotted to the upper body. Great exercise, and lovely background! Thank you, Jules...Anastasia

So I’m hoping that just crossing it over my chest w/o holding it in is still having some benefits! Thank you so much for all the exercises, especially the chair ones that I can do! I’ve been doing these every day for about 3 months and I really think they’re helping! Have a good day and bless you!❤

      Wow, congrats for working out every day for the past 3 months! That's excellent! Don't worry about that particular stretch.

    Oh Julie, look at what we’re having to do today!!!
    Yes, I’ve done it again; my knee just can’t catch a break!
    I tripped going up a two step step-up from our den to the kitchen and hit my “bad knee” right on the edge of the top step.
    I skinned up my bad knee, hit on the other knee as well, have a little cut on my hand….goodness.
    With ice, a tens unit, an Ace compression band and Salonpas pain patch, along with chair exercises, it’s a bit better than it was last night, when it was so painful I figured I wouldn’t be walking on it today.
    We are going on a little three day trip tomorrow with plenty of walking, so I really needed to recover quickly.
    Another day in the life of Mary.
