To see more classes offered on this channel, click on the logo beside 'Improved Health for Seniors'. Once you click on the logo you'll be directed to the main channel page. You'll see titles saying 'home', 'videos', 'playlists'. If you click on the 'playlists', you'll see videos put into different categories based on chair and standing exercise levels. Also, if you go to 'videos', you'll see every video I've created and uploaded. I'd like to ask you to PLEASE SUBSCRIBE by hitting the red 'subscribe' button and PLEASE hit the 'thumbs up' button if you liked the video. 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 RU-vid and how to see all of the videos offered. Lastly, for newbies on RU-vid, you'll see a little down arrow just under the video on the right side. If you click the arrow, you'll be able to read the description explaining what the video is about. I would truly appreciate you subscribing and hitting that thumbs up button! Thanks in advance:) Jules
This is vintage, Jules...enjoyed stretching out with you 🥰...Yes, I sometimes tend to hold my breath, especially while stretching ...appreciate your gentle reminders to BREATHE😄Thank you🙏
I wish the local YMCA had not removed all the chairs from the lobby. We gather there to wait for our group of runners and walkers to assemble and we could be stretching using chairs. You have a standing stretch right? Love all of your sessions that I have done. Thank you, Charlie in Syracuse NY.
@@ImprovedHealth Thanks. Your right. Most of the folks I know are over 70 but still active with hip and knee replacements. Chair stretches work well. I think that once Covid backs off the lobby will have no room for chairs. The locker rooms have chairs. I was just trying to fill the void in the lobby since Y attendance has dropped so much. Moving forward with hope. Thanks for responding.
@@ImprovedHealth No no. I stretch at home in a chair. I was just blue skying, what if the running and walking group could sit in a part of the Y lobby and chair stretch before going out. We do stretch standing up before going out. Please put no stock in something being planned for the lobby involving chair stretching. I was just doing a “what if”.
I sometimes do one of your stretching series different times during the day when I feel stiff or to loosen up the arthritis. Thanks for what you do. I tried other peoples workouts before I found you and could never keep up. You do a lot for us older women.
Hi! Sorry but I can't answer your question. I don't keep track of the calories burned. The point of the stretching videos is to work on flexibility and range of motion.
Thank you Julie! Another great video that was just right!! I found you a couple of months ago... in my 50's and in the worst shape ever. With your wonderful videos, I started with the chair exercises & stretches to get some mobility back, and feel better (I was feeling frail compared to years of better physical condition). Together (you & me) we did it! I'm back to brisk walking again!! Now, when I want a quick, gentle stretch or take a movement break- I go right to your channel and always find just what I need! Thank you thank you thank you for caring for so many unseen people in the world... I presume you started to help clients and others during the pandemic... BUT you have kept going and I'm very grateful! May God continue to bless your efforts and care for others!!
I can’t even begin to tell you how meaningful your comment is to me. I read it over several times just to let your words sink in so I could appreciate them more. I feel incredibly happy to be able to make a positive difference in people’s health. Thank you SO much for letting me know how the videos have helped. Also, I am absolutely thrilled and happy for you to be walking again and for taking care of your body. I love how you wrote that we did it together.🥰
Thank you! You can find lots more like these in the 'stretching' playlists. I also recently started a second channel dedicated to chair workouts which I'll add here for you: www.youtube.com/@ImprovedHealthChairWorkouts
So glad I found you. Everything I need daily, stretch, strength, flexibility I found in your videos. Fourth week in and feeling the difference. You are wonderful and thank you.
I am thrilled to read that you're enjoying the variety of workouts. Thank you for taking the time to let me know that. I'll add my chair channel link in case I haven't shared it with you, yet: youtube.com/@ImprovedHealthChairWorkouts
Good afternoon Jules, I like this stretching workouts 💪. I been having trouble moving my left ankle. But today I was able to move it around both ways. Thank you so much Jules.❤❤😊😊 Have a wonderful holiday weekend 😊😊
Hello Jules, thanks for this stretching session, really worked for me (I’m from Flanders (Europe) and in Dutch we would say ’dit heeft echt goed gedaan’). Just to be honest, I read some of the other comments, all from women, while I am a 68 yr old male... if this is a problem, please say so ; I will blame RU-vid anyway, because you popped up in my daily suggestions, lol. In one of your early videos (an easy 10 min walking exercise) you asked for our opinions or suggestions. If there is one thing I could ask, it would be fewer ’no talking’ vids. Having someone explain moves and stretches clearly, def makes a difference and simply is more pleasant imo. Anyway, thanks again, off to do the breathing & mindfulness part of this routine, bye !
Hi Luc, I had Dutch relatives over from The Netherlands a few weekends ago:) I mostly create no-talking workouts now simply because that is what is more popular with my viewers. I do have a second channel for chair workouts where I do give verbal instruction because it's preferable on that channel. I'll add the link for you in case you're interested. Btw, on my website, I also have a playlist that has videos with instruction. That might help you to find the ones you might prefer, too. www.improvedhealthforseniors.com Chair channel: youtube.com/@ImprovedHealthChairWorkouts
Best complete body stretch! I didn’t have to try to twist into a pretzel. You hold the stretches for adequate amount of time. This will be the stretch routine I use daily.
Hi Jules.....Started week 3 of the Walk the Weight Off, I can already see some good come out of this workout, also did the Ab workout and I see another Ab workout I will have to try that also. Did this stretch workout to finish out the day. I will be checking out these news for core and stretch, it really feels good at the end of the day. Glad to hear your weather is warming up, we have some good some bad, it just can't make up it's mind.....anyway have a super rest of your day and I'll be for day 2.....take care and God Bless.....Anne
I'm glad to read that you are starting to see a difference from the interval series...it often doesn't take long to really see change from those series.
Jules, where is the logo? You said beside improved health, not sure where to look 🤔. I need to find more stretching for glutes. Thanks Jules I need to do more stretching. ❤❤😊😊 How many days should I do stretching?
You can do stretching every day...I recommend it actually! I think I already added the link in an earlier comment but I'll include it again just in case. I would suggest choosing a different stretching routine each day so that way you get in a variety of stretches: youtube.com/@ImprovedHealthChairWorkouts
This isn't something I keep track of since I focus more on healthy movement, not calories burned (also because every body is different and the calories burned wouldn't be the same for everyone).
This was a necessary complement to earlier strength training. My arms love, love, love (what I call the "Indiana Jones stretch") pushing imaginary walls away. Well done with the reminder to breathe!!!!!
Most of my stretching routines cover lower and upper body which would definitely give him a good routine. My suggestion is for him to try some of them, see which ones he likes and then try to do a stretching routine daily. I’ll have a new seated one up in the next few weeks on the chair channel.
Thank you! In case you haven't seen it, I launched a new channel this past summer which is dedicated to chair workouts: www.youtube.com/@ImprovedHealthChairWorkouts

thank you so much. 10 mins is the amount of time with my ADD that I can actually stick with your video. I was in rehab over a year ago and slowing stopped stretching and exercising, my physician encouraged me to go back and do regular exercises/stretching so I am so pleased to find this video.

@@ImprovedHealth we just subscribed. Thank you. We need to start out slow. I am a disabled vet er with a bad back and my wife and I need to be careful to not do something that will set me back or her too. 😀
I truly hope the workouts work well for you. Using the gentle workout playlists will likely be best to start. My suggestion is to avoid any exercise that you think might bother your back. Thank you for what you have done for us and for the freedom we have, Rick.@@RickandDarcirvadventures
I'm glad that you're trying each of them out. They're all a little bit different so it's nice to try different stretches to see what is helpful. Thanks for the compliment about the blue colour:)
No. Is it here on RU-vid under chair exercises? Appreciate your mentioning it. I'm doing more , so I will check them out. We just bought the Florida State Park Pass today. Planning on lots of walks too! I need to lose 40 more pounds, after the 96 I've lost already. Not easy, but I'm one determined woman! I'll get there!! 😁
It's great to read that you bought the pass...definitely wonderful to get out into nature when you can. Congrats on the loss of 96 pounds!!! Amazing! I love your determination and it sounds like you can do anything you set your mind to. Here's the link to the seated channel: www.youtube.com/@ImprovedHealthChairWorkouts
@@ImprovedHealth Thanks, 😊 I've never given up, despite a lot of health challenges for myself and husband over the years. Ones like you have helped me keep going! Your new channel looks great! I will start on them soon. Thanks again. You're the best! 👏
Glad to see you're still here, Charlie! In case you didn't see the notice, I officially launched a new chair workout channel a few days ago. I'll be uploading a new chair workout weekly on Thursdays. The old routines will stay here, but any new upload for chair workouts will go on the new channel. www.youtube.com/@ImprovedHealthChairWorkouts
Thank you for the constant reminder to breath and add more stretch, this is why I like the talking video,I don’t need to look at the screen and lose my form. Good job.
Wonderful stretching routine. I did it after one of your 20 minute walking workouts. BTW, I have a painting of that scene behind you on the wall of my family room!
