    Hi. I just wanted to say thank you for making this video. I am morbidly obese and I haven't exercised in a long time. I am 53 years old and I think I can do this because I am not getting any younger. God bless from Kingston,Ontario Canada

      Hi Lola, I am so happy to read you are starting with exercise. Congratulations on taking that first step (that's the hardest part). If you look under my playlists, you'll find similar workouts under 'true beginner'. I am so happy to have you join me. Btw, I lived in Kingston for 3 years about 25 years ago...beautiful city.

    Hello! I discovered this yesterday and it’s perfect for me. I’m recovering from shoulder surgery after a fall 4 months ago and haven’t been able to do my usual daily walking routine. Clear and precise instructions, in a warm and friendly manner.
    My only request would be the option for subtitles as I have a hearing loss and have to depend on lip reading/subtitles. Thank you! 💕

      @ImprovedHealth  6 місяців тому

      Thanks so much for your feedback, Jane. I will keep the subtitles in mind (I'm often strapped for time due to working full-time as well as doing YT). I will try to find the time for the future gentle walks. Just so you know, I create 3 levels of workouts (gentle, beginner and intermediate). You can find all of the gentle level workouts together under the 'gentle level' playlists.

It doesn't cost a thing and it's completely private from other viewers (you'll never hear from me unless you comment under a video). If you click the bell beside the subscribe button, you'll get a notification any time I upload a new video. Hope this helps as I know a lot of viewers struggle to understand UA-cam and how to see all of the videos offered.

      Welcome to my channel and thank you for letting me know that you're new here. Just to help you navigate the channel, I create 3 levels of workouts (gentle, beginner and intermediate) and categorize them all into the playlists. If you enjoyed this one, you can find plenty more at this same level under the 'gentle level' playlists. There are lots of other short 10-20 minute walks that I hope will help. Taking breaks as needed is a great way to be able to do more of the workout and in time, you'll get stronger and be able to do more. Another option is to do the seated workouts on days when your energy is lower due to chronic fatigue. The gentle seated workouts focus on gentle movement to improve flexibility and range of motion. I also create 3 levels for those so you can pick and choose depending on your energy. I'll add my other seated channel in case you'd like to try some there: youtube.com/@ImprovedHealthChairWorkouts

I like doing movements outdoor / on bed / on chair or standing at floor when possible. Main thing is when videos are not that long and they are gentle movements it is easy to start doing. When you feel like doing more you can do video two times or do 2-3 videos. My wishes for length is 10-15-20 minutes...maybe 30 minutes too with warm up or cardio...movements and stretching with this gentle tempo :) Keep on doing great videos. Your voice...talking...music everything is relaxing and nice to listen.THANK YOU!

      Welcome to my channel and thank you for letting me know that you're new here. Just to help you navigate the channel, I create 3 levels of workouts (gentle, beginner and intermediate) and categorize them all into the playlists. If you enjoyed this one, you can find plenty more at this same level under the 'gentle level' playlists. I hope you enjoy more of the workouts when you try them out. Congrats for starting, and I truly hope my workouts keep you coming back daily.

    These 10-15 minute walking videos are perfect! I love exercising and getting my heart rate up, but it's hard for me to do that with my chronic pain issues. Finding your channel has helped me so much. The beginner videos without more complicated moves like squats are wonderful. I love how you put the move queues on the screen so I can play my own music while watching your videos. Thank you so much!

    Thank you for an actual low impact workout. I've clicked on so many videos claiming to be low impact that were just too intense. I was able to commit to this for the full 10mins and feel like I was doing a workout without having my hips and knees want to buckle at the same time.

      Glad to read that you're on the mend. I'm hearing of lots of people getting Covid lately. If you'd like more, you will find lots of workouts at this level under my 'gentle level' playlists.
