    I simply cannot live without your Seated exercise videos. Your knowledge of Seniors and their limited abilities is so evident in each one of your classes and your simple directions and tone of voice really add to these videos being so doable for so many of us that cannot do the walking videos. I am so glad I found your videos and I definitely will continue to do them as best I can. Thank You Jules for all your help.

      I'm so glad you found this helpful. 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!

    Oh me, Julie, it’s been a long time since we’ve had to do a seated workout, but I’m sure glad we have that option.
    My knee is “acting up” bad today; it started hurting a few days ago, and now it’s in full rebellion. Must be our cold, damp weather we’re experiencing lately. I’m ready for it to really feel like spring. We’re anxious to plant our little garden. It will have to eat about 2-3 more weeks before the ground is warm enough and the threat of frost is over.
    Anyway, we got a good workout in.

    • @ImprovedHealth
      @ImprovedHealth  Рік тому +1

    These are great, Jules. It’s wonderful that you incorporate seated workouts in your videos. I’m fortunate enough not to need seated workouts, at this time, but so glad you make them and I modify most of the exercises standing up which you make easy to do. Sometimes I just do routine all seated too, great workout either way. Thank you! 💞

    Hello Jules:
    Usually I don't do seated workouts but it's raining today in LA and so I joined in. After a few minutes I got worried because my joints made squeaking noises. But then I realized it's my chair. What a relief. I think it's good to alternate workouts. Easy to do, you provide us with plenty of them. Thanks
    By the way, I emailed you. No answer. Two choices: you didn't get it or you didn't know it's me, your funny friend. Stay warm.
