Links to Pilates balls:
This is a more expensive brand for a Pilates ball but is definitely the best one out of the ones I've tried. Unfortunately, I can't see to find a place where you can buy a single ball without the extras. This one comes with a ball and videos. Link: amzn.to/46iOeqf
This one is a cheaper one which works just fine. When pumping up the ball, don't pump it up all the way. Allow it to be slightly soft so it is easier to use. Link: amzn.to/3EtciKR

If you're new to my channel, please subscribe! 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.

So delighted to see a new ball workout, I actually went through your videos this morning to find a ball class,😊 which I did, I am recovering from foot surgery, so need all of the stretching and toning exercises I can do within reason. I enjoy your classes very much, thank you Jules.

Thanks Bridget. I'm glad you're happy to see a new workout using a ball. I rarely use it simply because I know some people won't have a ball to use, but it definitely changes up the workout and gives some variety. Thanks for letting me know that you enjoyed it.
Toll, bitte mehr Hockergymnastik😊
Another Great class! Thanks Jukes, for sending me this link! Keep them coming 😊🙏
Great workout again Jules! It’s really great to have a new choice every Thursday and I’ve been incorporating all of them into my workout time. Thanks for all you do for those of us who need a seated workout. Have a great day!

Thanks so much for your comment, Sarah. I'm very happy to know that you're enjoying a new weekly routine. It's definitely nice to change up exercise to challenge the body (and mind) differently.
Thank you I feel so much better.

I'm so glad you felt the difference. Thanks for letting me know, Victoria.
Really good
I dusted off my (rather squashy) pilates ball, and really enjoyed this. Love the change of pace after doing a full-on cardio workout, and getting a good stretch. Thank you Jules 😊

Oh yay, I'm glad that you were able to put it to use:)
Absolutely wonderful Jules. I waited until the end of my day and what a fantastic way to finish out my day. Every time I work out with you I learn something new. I never knew my little ball could be such a core and leg workout!! Absolutely wonderful. I needed to stretch today something awful and this absolutely delivered. Thank you immensely Jules. Have a wonderful evening and weekend ahead ❤️

@@ImprovedHealthChairWorkouts it was a busy one moving our oldest one out to campus. I hope you had a wonderful weekend. The weather feels like the end of July here...Oh my goodness. We were at a high of 91 today and it's going to be like this for the rest of the week.
This was a fun workout, Jules - enjoyed it! If you have time, could you do a senior upper body workout with dumbbells using a super slow lifting method please? Maybe an 8 second count when we lift the DB's upwards & the same amount of time when we lower them? That way, we can maintain tension in our muscles going in both directions. Thanks for all that you do for us seniors already!

You can usually find balls at dollar stores. Otherwise, I'll add some links into the description under the video and on my website.
