My name is Jules and I have been creating exercise videos for 3 years on my regular YT channel called 'Improved Health'. I've decided to create a second channel dedicated specifically to chair workouts (either in the chair, or standing holding onto a chair for support). I am unable to move the chair workouts from my original channel so if you would like to have some other options until I upload more, you can find the seated workouts below. I will be adding new workouts on this channel soon.

Improve your mood with this 3 minute breathing space and peaceful view

Life is busy and sometimes all we need, is to slow down for a few minutes and focus on our bodies and our breathing. Jennifer Innes will guide you through this simple 3 minute breathing space. After the breathing space, I have included another 2 1/2 minutes of the view along with the sounds of nature. Try this out every day for a week and see how you feel after the week.

Simple floor stretches | Stretches for all body types | Improved Health

With the interval training program, day 4 is created to be a day off but I feel it's also a good opportunity to focus on stretching. For those of you who still want to work out today, you can add on a short cardio workout. Just remember, tomorrow is a 60 minute workout and you don't want to overdo it today. In today's video, we are just going to do some simple floor stretches. If you can't get onto the floor, you can modify a lot of the exercises and do them from a chair, too. These stretches will work for all ages and all body types. If you enjoyed the workout, please subscribe and write a comment! I'd love to hear from you! Wishing you improved health!
