I know that some people are not happy with you talking. I love it. I have a nephew who is blind, and I am encouraging him to try your programs. He is wheelchair bound suffering from Ataxia and is only in his mid 30's. I let you talk without being bothered because I know what exercise is next and I just start so I can do extra reps. It is so important that you talk to encourage people who have unbelievable challenges in their life that many people have no idea how hard their life is!

@ImprovedHealth Жыл бұрын

Hi Christine, thank you so much for your comment. Maybe with your input I could create an exercise program that would work for your nephew and others who are blind. If you're interested in helping me create a program, you can email me at jules.improvedhealth@gmail.com. I'm not sure if there is an exercise program online for people who are blind but I would be happy to create one.

Hi Jules, while I've been doing stretching it feels like I will turn into Jello if I don't start moving again! So I did this one and it really felt good to use some of my muscles again. I can't believe how tired I've become in just the few days I havent exercised. I see my doctor later today and am hoping for a green light on movement even though I still have a tiny bit of discomfort. Thanks Jules!

@ImprovedHealth Жыл бұрын

I know what you mean...I feel the same way if I haven't been able to exercise. The gentle seated workouts will also work well if your doctor thinks you need to have more rest. The gentle ones are more about working on range of motion and getting in some light exercise. I hope today went well.

Wonderful exercises for me. I’m a senior and have become very sedentary and sluggish. These exercises really help to energize me. Also, where did you get that fabulous wall covering/mural?

Thank you and welcome to my channel! I'm glad to read that you're looking forward to moving more. 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. I also started a second channel dedicated to chair workouts and will add the link for you here: youtube.com/@ImprovedHealthChairWorkouts Lastly, I upload all of the workouts from both channels to my website at www.improvedhealthforseniors.com I hope that helps! As for the mural, I mostly search on Amazon under 'tapestries'. I have some of the links under 'shop' on my website.

Love these seated exercise routines. I have one question for anyone monitoring the comments. I cannot point my toes due to severe damage to my feet in an auto accident. What can I do to instead?

@ImprovedHealth Жыл бұрын

Hi Iris, it's Jules here. I read all of the comments on my channel. Don't worry about not being able to point your toes. Just do a heel tap or do the best with what you can do. You're moving and being physically active and doing the workout to the best of your abilities, which is great. You'll still definitely benefit from the workout whether you do a toe or heel tap:)

Would be great if you could play some oldie music 🎶 with the chair exercises

@ImprovedHealth 3 жыл бұрын

I totally agree with you but it's very complicated trying to find music that is allowed to be used. I recently created one with popular oldies and it got blocked due to copyright laws. I would use popular oldies all the time if I could.

I just started the 30 minute 5 day chair workouts for seniors , I’m 61 and have back problems, and breathing issues , this is great for me. I just finished day 2 , but only see it up to day 5 for the chair exercises, will you have more of them later. I do them from my tv and go to my phone to comment. Would love to continue them after day 5 is done.

Welcome to my channel, Barbara! Just so you know, I create 3 levels of workouts (gentle, beginner and intermediate and both seated and standing). I categorize the workouts into playlists on the channel as well as on my website (www.improvedhealthforseniors.com). I actually have lots of seated workouts in the playlists so you'll likely find lots more which would be suitable. The gentle workouts are designed mostly for range of motion, flexibility with some strength & minimal cardio. The beginner ones are a step up with more cardio and strength exercises. The intermediate workouts likely have too much movement for your back so you might want to stick with the beginner level workouts. I also create gentle standing workouts which should be fine for your back and breathing since they are designed to be gentle movements. After you get through more of the workouts, let me know if you feel something is missing:)

I do wish either the music was turned down quite a bit lower or completely off. It’s so distracting and quite loud. But I do appreciate the classes I really do.

I wish I had turned the music down in this one. Editing has been an ongoing learning process and dealing with the music and sound, is always challenging. Once the video is up, I can't edit the sound level.

Hi Jules. Love your programs which I use with my fellow residents in my retirement village and present at a Day Centre for Seniors, many with early dementia. (I like your Dementia videos especially for this group). I have a problem at the Day Centre though - the equipment available does not include WiFi and it's a bit of a problem having to take my laptop, dongle, speakers, cords etc with me. Is it possible to get your videos on CDs or even in a form that I can download onto a memory stick? Happy to pay for these of course. I'm 83yrs, I live in Sydney, Australia. I started doing You Tube exercise videos when we were first locked down with Covid - and I've never gone back to my previous exercise classes. Many friends in my village were in the same situation so we get together to do your programs now - doing it together is more motivating. Thank you Bev

I agree, this one I messed up the music and had it louder than I intended:( My other videos have music that is softer, or no music at all. I tend to put music in most of them (at a quieter level) to help drown out the sound of my feet on the floor.

It can be normal to feel a little bit of soreness if you're new to certain exercises but hopefully it doesn't last long. If you ever feel it's too much when you're doing it, you can do a little bit less with the reps until you get used to the workouts:)
