I broke my ankle severely last September. I found you looking for chair exercises, and have stuck with this channel throughout my recovery. I love the focus on functional and whole-body movement. I feel it's really helped me throughout my recovery process. I would highly recommend these workouts to people of any age who are rehabbing from an injury or just want to build balance, health and fitness. I often do these with my daughters (15 and 10), and they love them, too. Thank you so much for sharing your expertise and talent!
Thank you so much for such an awesome comment, Jessica. I am thrilled to read that you enjoy the workouts and feel the benefits (happy to read that your kids like them, too!). It's great that you're teaching them about the importance of exercise (and modeling it as well). I am pinning your comment to the top since it's so meaningful. 🥰
Love your videos. I’m 77 and started doing these every morning for just over a month. There are many videos to choose from but I always go back to yours. I have so much more energy. Thank you for this series.
I am so glad to read that you are feeling more energetic with doing these regularly. Thanks so much for letting me know. 77 and getting stronger!
Good evening Jules,
That is a good idea about what are you thankful for. ❤❤ love that❤
I am making time to exercise everyday 💪. ❤❤
This was good for a day when I'm not feeling well but still want to get my cardio/steps in.
Thank you for providing these exercises. I am 72 and these work great for me.
I'm so glad you're enjoying these. Thanks for taking the time to comment.
Thank you so much for sharing this exercise with the seniors and beginners.
Thanks for your comment:)
These slower videos for "Seniors" have really helped me since I had a femur injury. I usually do the other videos but could not do those with this injury. I am glad to see you had these. Thanks!
Thanks so much for letting me know that these workouts are helpful. I'll be creating more gentle workouts soon.
These are great for whole body movement, balance and focus: I'm grateful for your demonstrations. Thank you Jules. It's a blessing to have found your videos🧍♀🚶♀🥀
Thank you so much for your super lovely comment, Helen. It’s very meaningful.❤️
First grateful reason would have to be for you showing us these moves….thank you..🙏🏼
Aw, thank you!!!
This is perfect for me, challenging but manageable. Thank your for this wonderful offering
Thanks for letting me know this worked well for you. I appreciate it!
Hello Dear. I m ur new subscriber. From INDIA. I really enjoyed it a lot. Thanku Thanku Thanku Thanku Thanku Thanku Thanku so much. Walking n arms exercises are my most favourite. Incredible. Sending you much love. 💖💖😘😘💁💁💃💃💪💪
Thank you so much, Shalu for subscribing and for your positive, kind comment:)
Thank to you for my motivation for your smile It tell me to relax Have fun and enjoy God bless you 🙏♥️👏🇲🇶
Good Morning Jules.....I did this class, I couldn't find a day 3 for the Gentle Exercise True Beginners class, so I did this one and Day 6 of the Beginners Chair Exercise. I really do enjoy all of the them. I will finish the Beginners Chair #7 tomorrow. I going to check into some of the other classes and see what they entail. I will continue the stand-up exercises in the True Beginners for now. I am very thankful you have such a variety of classes, I truly believe they are help me physically and mentally. Later I will be taking a walk or doing my elliptical in the basement. Have a super wonderful day...God Bless.
Hi Anne, you're a trooper with all the workouts you are trying out....and doing the elliptical, too! Maybe as the next step would be to try one of the all-in-one gentle workouts I have. Those workouts include cardio, strength, balance and stretching exercises all in one workout. I've put some up recently so if you go to the 'videos' after hitting the logo on the main page, you'll see them there.
I discovered your channel because CZcams brought it up on my feed. I immediately subscribed and have used many of your videos in my morning routine. I started the habit of waking up weekdays at 6am with my husband and going right into exercise. I am 64 years old and mostly healthy but quite “fluffy” (lots of extra padding) and I do suffer with fibromyalgia flareups.
Attitude of gratitude is so important! Thanks for that reminder. I am thankful for my Lord Jesus, for my family, for friends, for my home, for my hobbies and I am thankful for you and your many videos. So many choices in videos so I don’t have to do the same one over and over. I love the options of lengths and types to choose from Thank you.
Thank you so much for taking the time to let me know that you are new here and enjoying the workouts. Also, a huge congrats for making exercise part of your morning routine so that way it definitely becomes a habit. I’m sure you already noticed it, but all of the workouts are categorized into the different playlists. You can also find them all on my website at www.improvedhealthforseniors.com. Welcome to my channel!
Really enjoyed this! Bought brand new shoes to work out in last night. Feeling great! Thank you!
Yes, new shoes are definitely good for the feet and make exercising more enjoyable:)
Juste wow . Whith m'y fibromyalgie juste perfect.Thank tout si much.❤❤❤
I'm so glad this worked for you! If you enjoyed this one, you can find similar ones under the 'gentle level' playlists.
Love this!
Love your quiet manner. 👍
Thank you for your lovely comment.❤️
Did some heavier house chores today, and decided to try this beginner routine which I did ramp up. This, in combo with some other sessions of yours, gave me a good workout today. I enjoyed your small talk and thoughts on gratefulness. Thank you Jules...Anastasia
Thank you:) ❤️
New sub and I just want to thank you from the bottom of my heart. I'm terribly out of shape and mourning some losses. Your gentle and calm manner is just what I need as I work to re-gain my health. 🥰🙏I found your channel searching for low impact walking videos. I hope to be able to hike again by spring...fingers crossed.
Thanks so much for commenting and for letting me know that you’re new here. I categorize all of my workouts on my website which might help you to find the workouts most suitable. I look forward to hearing about your progress (and about your hikes this spring!).

I love your exercise and practice a different one every day. Thank you.
Thanks so much for letting me know, Carol. I appreciate it!

I first found you with your Abba workout and really enjoy that, but I haven't been feeling great for a few days so decided to try a slower workout to at least be moving. I enjoyed your commentary, but also enjoy the faster ones where you are not speaking. Thank you.
Hi Jean, I'm so happy to read you understand the importance of moving. I hope you feel better soon.
Thanks so much. Just what I've been looking for!
That’s great! Thank you for your comment:)
Thank you for the suggested modifications for those needing less or more.
Thank you for your videos! I love the variety!
Thanks so much, Cindy. I'm happy to hear you are enjoying a variety of the workouts.
I am 70 years old. When I retired, I would attend aerobics at our Senior Center and Aquasize at a retirement home where the spa was 94 degrees. Then we had a new grandson, my Mother became too ill to stay by herself and Covid closed everything. I have been looking for exercises that fit into my schedule and my needs. I found you on CZcams and have loved the ones I have tried. Thanks!
Welcome to my channel, Susan! I started this venture when Covid started since I work with seniors and knew all the seniors centers would be closed. I couldn't stand the thought of seniors being home without exercise options. I am so glad you found my channel and I hope you enjoy the various workouts as you get through them.
Hi Jules! As a recent retiree and someone who hasn't exercised in many years, I find that your videos are very doable for someone like me who now has the time to focus on regaining her health and vitality. What a blessing to have discovered your channel! I look forward to trying many of your other videos. I especially appreciate the fact that you don't bombard us with constant chatter during your workouts! That kind of sensory overload drives me insane!! Thank you for all that you do.
Hi Kim, congrats on retiring recently and for now taking the time to focus on YOU! Thanks so much for your comment. As you go through the workouts, please let me know if there are other ones you are wanting to see in the future. As for talking, I do try not to talk too much and just try to give the needed info:)
Hullo Jules, decided on this today, as I had only 15 minutes between chores...you were like a small burst of sunshine in the room, on a dull, dreary day😃Enjoyed working out with you, thank you!!
Your comments always bring a smile to my face. Thank you once again:) 💗💗💗
Thank you. This is just right for me. 😁🙏🌟
Thank you!
Thanks so much jules luv the workout luv lorraine❤❤❤❤❤
Thanks Lorraine:)
You're awesome! Thank you for putting this videos out for us. Love the oldies music vid!
Thanks Lori:)
Thank u I like these since I'm extremely out of shape during pandemic I've become very immobile so thank you I'm trying to get back into regular movement 😇
Congrats for coming back to exercise! I hope you keep coming back so it becomes a habit:)
I didn't feel like working out today because of a massive headache, but decided to try at least a short sequence. At the end my headache was less painful and my mood improved a lot. Exercise has so many positive effects on the body. I hope to stay motivated. Thank you so much, Jules. 😊
I find exercise does help with mild headaches, too. I hope you stay motivated as well! What might help is to set a goal for what you will do every day…even if it’s to promise yourself a certain amount of steps, or even a 10 minute workout. Something is better than nothing. Another good way to get in exercise is to move for 2 minutes on the hour, every hour if you can. It all adds up over a day.
thank you for your videos
Love em too
I just found your channel, so glad I did.
Hi Yolanda, thank you for your lovely comment.💖
I love your videos! They are just right for me. I am currently in physio therapy for a cranky hip with pain radiating down my leg to the foot. I am doing the chair exercises which seem to be easier on my hip. Thank you so much for doing these videos. Particularly love the the one you did with the "oldies" music.
Thank you! I am sorry to hear about the pain you are experiencing but hopefully physio will improve things for you over time. Let me know if there are any classes in particular you would like to see.
Thankful for this channel and the gentle series. Also thankful for healing progress and positive people like you.
Thank you so much, Esther:) It is comments like yours that keeps me creating videos. 💖
Thank you for your commitment to really slow down these exercises. I don't get dizzy when I follow you.
You're welcome:) I am happy to hear these workouts work well for you!
Hi..I am 73 and have a bad shoulder and knees..I find your exercises are at a perfect pace for me. So glad I found you.
Thanks SO much for letting me know that these work for you, Sharon.
There is always, always, always something to be thankful for! You are one. Watching your beginner walks to introduce friends to my passion of walking. This one is a lovely entry level. You're such a good instructor, Jules, giving clear directions and adding motivation. It's especially empowering to hear how many muscles we're working as we walk. Adding the daily gratitude keeps our minds healthy as well.
Thanks so much, Chris. You always make me smile.♥️
Thank you so much for what you do for us seniors🙏🙏🙏 a question for you can you lose inches doing this👍👍👍👍 exercise
Hi! Any amount of exercise helps and yes, you can lose weight/inches if you burn more calories than you eat. This series is definitely a good program for anyone who needs to start slow. Make sure you include strength training workouts I provide as well to get the full benefit. Strength training increases your metabolism so if you do cardio and strength exercises you will get the most benefits.
Thanks for doing what you do! You are so easy to follow and just the right intro into movement for my out-of-shape self! For one who hates exercise….I am finding this fun! Thank you!
I am very happy to read that you find it fun...I hope in time you'll learn to enjoy exercise:) Just keep in mind how much your body will reward you by exercising as time goes on. I hope you keep coming back!
This was a great warmup for me. I love your calmness. Will look into your more active workouts. Thanks so much..
What a lovely comment to read. Thank you:)
My outside walking was interrupted by a heavy downpour: fallen leaves made the road slippery. I needed another 15 minutes of exercise and this was better than the perfect solution. It uses the upper body and other leg muscles not involved in walking. Concentrating on the moves clears the mind. Better still was the focus on three good things that have happened to me today. In the morning I watched a video about a woman born without arms and legs who writes and gives lectures to encourage other people with disabilities. It was not difficult to find three good things for me and the 15 minutes whizzed by!
I love that the ‘3 things to be thankful for’ was appreciated:) Hopefully the downpour will bring sunshine your way. ❤️
This was a great workout. I did it at a faster pace and I worked up a nice sweat. Ready to start the day! Thought of the three things I'm grateful for and will think of those things tonight at bedtime. What a lovely idea.... THANK YOU for your dedication.v
I'm glad you enjoyed the workout and that you were able to focus on people or things you are grateful for:)
I've been doing other senior workout even though I am not a senior and your video was recommended. I love how gentle they are. It makes me feel accomplished when I finish. Those hardcore workouts always left me feeling too out of shape. I love these!
Thank you! I am glad to hear you enjoy the classes:). Thank you for your comment.
Thankful for the many workouts you have and giving me the motivation to do one every morning. Also love my great family. I usually do your intermediate workouts but needed something short for the busy day ahead. I added 1kg weights and increased the pace, just the right amount of time for today. I like the ease of finding an appropriate workout on your website then view them on YT. Merry Christmas.
Wishing you a great afternoon and evening with your family today on Christmas. Kudos to you for taking the time to exercise on such a busy day.
Jules i love your workouts amazing i feel grate luv lorraine
Thank you so much, Lorraine. 💖
wonderful
Found your videos on CZcams after searching low impact exercises. Just finished my first week and I love that I can mix up the videos depending on my stamina for the day. I haven’t worked out in a while and I have bad knees. These videos are just what I needed. Thank you!!
Welcome to my channel, Michele! I am super happy to hear the workouts suit you well:)
Thank you this was perfect! I was tired but didn’t want to skip so opted for your workout and now feel rejuvenated! Who says it must be an hour! 🙏🤗🙌💞
You are absolutely right. You definitely do not need to work out for an hour each time. A short workout is sometimes all that is needed as long as we keep moving each day.
Loved it ❤
Thank you!
I've only just found your channel and loved this workout. Great for a day when I can't leap about very much! I'll look for some of your other videos too. Thank you.
Hi Sue! Welcome to my channel! If you go under the playlists you should be able to find the workouts that suit you best. Thanks so much for commenting:)
Thank you so much for this video, exactly what I needed🤗. I am not a sinior yet, but I had a tummy tuck 3 weeks ago and the doctor said I could do the treadmill or stationary bike now, very low impact stuff But I don't like either of those and I don't own one of those anyway. So this one was perfect for me. I like everything about it. Subscribing and looking eto your next workout tomorrow😃. Or later on today maybe 🙂.
Welcome to my channel, Laura! If you look at the playlists, you'll find more gentle classes in the playlist for 'true beginners'. Kudos to you for getting right to exercise when you were able to after surgery! I look forward to hearing about your progress:)
@@ImprovedHealth OMGOODNESS you replied to me, yay🤗!!!! Well I am definitely loving your channel. Get ready to hangout with me for the next few months because I loved this workout and I am looking at the playlist and already have a few options for tomorrow!! I am excited 🤩!! Thank you and I loved how you suggested to think on something that we are grateful for during your workout. You were right, today I am feeling so positive and so happy. I feel like my day is going great and that's definitely thanks to you🤗.
@@laurabenavides5444 Thank you SO much for your comment, Laura. You have made MY day:) 💗
