    Thank you very much for your kind words about my bereavement. I am 70 and I discovered your channel about one year ago. I used to tell my husband that I didn't want to be disturbed for a while as I was with Jules! Today I went for a walk and did 8/9 |10. I used to be in the fitness industry and appreciate how special you are for us more matured people.
    God Bless 🙌 Marie

      Thanks so much for your message and kind words, Marie. With these workouts, ideally just do one day at a time. I design the workout so the muscles used that day get a break the following day so they have time to rest and repair before being challenged again. It sounds like you are super keen since you did 3 workouts in a day (I love that you are motivated and determined)! You're caught up now so we'll get back to it on Monday:) I'm glad to read that you are getting outside for fresh air and exercise, too. ❤️

    Day 10 is completed! I've come back and redid your program a few times this year. I love that it's short, simple, yet extremely effective. By day 10, I already feel stronger. The plank at the end is also a physical and visual way to see that I've slowly gotten stronger. I'm slowly improving how long I can last each time.

    I love these strength workouts. I’m noticing a difference in my arms. The balance exercise was very telling. I have arthritis in my right knee, but it’s stronger than my left leg. I’ve been going to PT for my IT band (I’m a mess😂), but it always feels better after working out. Because of my knee, I do the plank on the wall. I got up to 50 today🙌. Can I do the plank on my forearms on the wall. I tried it, but it didn’t seem right. I thank God everyday that I found you❤️

    • @ImprovedHealth
      @ImprovedHealth  Před 4 měsíci

      Oh wow, your last sentence is incredibly meaningful to me, Deborah. Thank you for telling me that. As for the plank, you can absolutely do it from your forearms on the wall. Just ensure your body is in a straight line (ideally, watch yourself in a mirror to check your form).

      When I created this one, I only realized during editing that I didn't stretch in this video which is why I added the words recommending people to stretch. My daughter was home that day (home from school 3 days feeling unwell). I absolutely agree with lots of stretching after...ideally I would like to put in lots of stretching after every workout but my fear is if people see that the video is really long, they won't do the workout since I say it is 10-15 minutes long. My hope is with the links attached at the end, people will stretch longer.

    Interval + strength training again today. I find the short strength program a good way to end my workout.🚶‍♀

    Thank you so much for your next exercises, which are always a pleasure to look forward to.
    It seems to me that in the case of this type of exercise, which does not tire as much as dancing, cardio, fast marches, etc., there is no need to measure time so apothecary-style. Here, time passes very quickly and the sweat doesn't drip off us :)
    In the case of the plank you have a different arrangement of the arms on the mat in the form of a sort of triangle. I have my arms parallel to each other. Does this make a difference?
    As for the push-ups, which I think everyone who has the strength should add to themselves, it seems to me that doing, say, 20 push-ups at a normal pace will give a worse result for our muscles than just 10 or 5, but with a very, very, very, very slow descent and rise. We will be more tired, but it is worth it for the result of such a workout.
    This is, of course, my subjective view, because every person is different and has the right to exercise differently according to the capabilities of his or her own body and liking. Although personal modification should not deviate from the suggestions of the trainer, in whom you should always have confidence if you choose him.💛

      Hi! With the plank, my arms are parallel to each other...I think it's the camera that makes it look like they might be in more of a triangular position. I do raise them slightly higher than the shoulders rather than directly under the shoulders to provide relief to the wrists. I'll pay more attention to my speed in the push-ups in week 4:)

      @@ImprovedHealth It is indeed the camera that has distorted. Thank you very much for the clarification.👍🙂😍

      Hi Diana, you could do more repetitions if you only have lighter weights. For example, if we do 10 repetitions, you could do 15 or 20. It's hard to follow the video though because you'll take longer. Another option would be to do the workout twice. This way your body is getting two sets of each exercise. Or, you could even do it 3 times (if you don't get too bored!). Third option, you could follow what I do, hit pause on the video and do the same exercise 2-3 times, with a break of 30 seconds between each set. Then, start the video again and do the next exercise, etc. Lots of options to get stronger! Hopefully at some point you'll be able to purchase some heavier weights (or use vinegar bottles or water bottles with handles or something that is heavier for a cheap option).

      I'm glad to hear you are doing what you can. You can definitely use a chair or wall for those exercises instead of the floor.

    Hello...any suggestions fpr an elder, to help strengthen lower back ???

    • @ImprovedHealth
      @ImprovedHealth  Před rokem

      The plank and the supermans are both excellent core workouts which will help strengthen the lower back. I include the plank every day in these workouts and occasionally add in the supermans. You could do the supermans every day on your own at home (either standing or on the floor).

  •  Před měsícem +1

    How many days do you have on Utube and also can I arrange them by day so I don't have to look for them every day. Also a friend of mine wants the videos so I could send them to her if they are easy to find. Thank you

    • @ImprovedHealth
      @ImprovedHealth  Před měsícem

      Hi, I create playlists to help with finding the videos. For example, if you enjoy the gentle level workouts, you'll see them all together in the playlists (on my main page, go to the tab that says 'playlists' and then scroll down). I'm going to attach the playlist for you for the 25 days: czcams.com/play/PLsPoR5SimhuXlhQFyw_ZGaofBQIwjQF6B.html
      Another thing you can do, is when you find videos you really enjoy, you can hit 'save' under the video and then make your own 'favourites playlist'. This way all of your favourite videos are together.
      To send individual videos or playlists to your friend, just copy the URL or hit 'share' under a video, and send to your friend.
      Let me know if you need more help navigating the channel.

      Oh, you can also find all of my videos on my website at www.improvedhealthforseniors.com

    Thanks but what do you need to do after hitting day 25?

    • @ImprovedHealth
      @ImprovedHealth  Před měsícem

      I have the calendars on my website so if you feel ready, you can move to the 5 day program. After that, there is a 2 day program that you can repeat for weeks (just increase the sets or weights as you improve/advance).

    Especially for you, Jules, so interesting. I searched and found it though :)
    Watch in this lecture ONLY pasted video of the exercises from 1:08:25 to 1:10:29. ONLY THESE 2 MINUTES. The trainer is supposedly a doctor - the author of the training, and this exerciser is an ordinary person "came from the street" and came to such results.
    Unfortunately, I have not been able to find the source of this video. Greetings! Lucius :) 💛
