    How thoughtful and kind of you to make such a video. Thank you both. The older that I get, the more I am trying to focus on breathing.

    This was different and I didn't want to rush it. So I waited for some quiet time with no interruptions and it was very relaxing.
    I think I will try the breathing technique when I wake up in the middle of the night worrying about tomorrow to get me relaxed and able to fall asleep again. Thanks for always surprising us with new things to do.

      I forgot to mention that I had to change chair again because my feet did not reach the ground when I leaned back. Also I had to move away from wall to stretch my arms all the way back. Loved it. Thanks again.

    Having COPD, I am grateful for you taking the time to put this up. Breath work is so important when you have bronchial impairment. Thank you to both of you. I do start each morning with meditation to focus on the breath. This is an added bonus. ❤️

    Thank you Jules for the guest speaker and her suggestions to complement the training.
    I am totally fine with the exercises with you, which are well thought out and varied by you.
    Sorry to bring this to your attention Jules. When we lift weights to train the biceps, as your colleague demonstrates, the arms (I am referring to the shoulders and elbows) need to be close to the torso, close to the chest, because then they are working well the muscles we are after. Whereas your movements with your arms away from your torso were - sorry - wrong.
    Thank you very much and once again.... YOUR own training designs are enough for me "to be happy"💛.

    • @ImprovedHealth
      @ImprovedHealth  2 роки тому +2

      Hi Lucius, thanks for your feedback. When lifting light weights, like in this video, the biceps will still be targeted during this movement, especially when the person focuses on flexing the biceps when the hands are up. I will keep your feedback in mind for future videos so thank you for pointing it out:)
