Have you ever heard of rajio tais\u014d<\/em><\/em>, or also known as the Japanese radio exercise?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/div>\n\n\n\n

Rajio tais\u014d<\/em><\/em><\/strong> is a three-minute exercise of short circuit of dynamic stretches, joint mobility drills, and bodyweight exercises in time to broadcasted piano music (Mark Sisson, n.d.).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It consists of arm circles, bending over, toe touching and more.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This exercise can be done standing or even sitting on a chair.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/div>\n\n\n\n

There are two versions<\/strong> of the Rajio tais\u014d<\/em>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Rajio tais\u014d<\/em> 1<\/strong> is the most popular and used. Rajio tais\u014d<\/em> 2 is more complex and fast moving. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

In Japan, Rajio tais\u014d 1 is broadcasted on NHK, Japan’s national broadcaster, four times a day. Starting at 6:30 am, except Sunday’s and the TV version airs three times a day, except at weekends (The Guardian, 2019).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In the article, “Listen, bend and stretch: how Japan fell in love with exercise on the radio”, Justin McCurry explains “Rajio tais\u014d<\/em> has even gained popularity in Brazil, Peru and other countries with large Japanese communities.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Every day in the morning, seniors, workers, and school kids all across Japan follow this radio exercise.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
