      Thanks Patsy. Just to help you navigate the channel, I create 3 levels of workouts (gentle, beginner and intermediate) 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.

    Jules, you saved me from myself. I thought I was too tired to exercise but when this popped up on my CZcams I decided to give it a try and got all of it done. I loved it. I will do this on other days when I feel too tired. The variety was wonderful and so was the pace. Thank you.

    • @ImprovedHealth

      I'm so glad that you decided to give this one a try. Seated workouts are great workouts. On days when you're tired, the gentle workouts are great for working on range of motion and flexibility which is really important to focus on as we age. In case you haven't seen it, I started a second channel for chair workouts and now upload all of my chair workouts to the other channel: youtube.com/@ImprovedHealthChairWorkouts
