Radio Taiso Quarantine Exercise

I know a lot of us are stuck at home, so I made an instructional video for you to follow along with me. The radio taiso exercise is a famous Japanese morning stretch that promotes blood circulation and stretches out the whole body. Happy quarantine!

I am delighted to see the love this video has gotten over the years. I'm not sure what other content I can provide for you all that's related to stretching, but I'm always open to community suggestions. Take care, be kind, and be safe everyone. -J

I first saw Japanese council workers doing this in a park across from my hotel in Kabukicho and it stuck with me. Definitely different from Australian council workers who start the day with a black coffee and a cigarette.

Thanks for sharing this, have started doing this.

I am a kindergarten teacher and have been doing it with my students every morning before we start lessons for the past few months. I have noticed the students have better focus and energy during class when we do it. On the days we skipped it or forgot, the students feel more frazzled and sleepy. This is a staple I couldn't go without now. Thank you!

I’ve been having issues with maintaining a sleep schedule lately due to medications. My doctor pointed me toward taiso/radio calisthenics. Whenever I feel groggy during the daytime I get up and do these exercises. Keeping myself awake and alert through the day helps me sleep through the night. Thank you for providing these. They are a fun and relaxing way to keep myself healthy

I came to know about this exercise while reading the book "Ikigai"... Thank you so much. You wonderfully demonstrated the exercise.

As an artist who spends all day sitting at a PC I realize doing exercise is very important for the maintenance of health. However I have hypermobility and deal with chronic pain so finding an exercise I can do was a bit depressing to me, but I can do this with no problems and find it very helpful, so thank you for posting! ^_^

I've been doing this every day for a month. it's quick and stops me from being grumpy for having to wake up for work. Thank you so much

[PrettyGarbo]

I’ve been doing this every day for about two weeks. I can’t wait to have it totally memorized

[albertotomasini]

Thank you very much Jason, I really enjoy starting my mornings with these exercises. The english subtitles help

i’ve followed this routine for years, out of all radio taiso videos, i find yours the best! i love doing this routine, every time we return to the same last two movements as the beginning, i can feel the difference post routine!!

I've been doing this every morning for a couple weeks, plus whenever I feel super stressed or stiff from sitting during the day. My kids look at me like I'm crazy, but don't worry, they will be doing it soon too. Thanks Jason!

I heard about the 3-minute Japanese workout while watching a Facebook video. I have begun to add it to my morning routine before I walk my dog. It is great to get the day started and get the blood flowing without a very intense stretch. Thank you so much for posting it is much appreciated. It is definitely something we hear in America should add.

Read about radio taiso from the book Ikigai, looked it up and now I'm here.

Trying to use the exercises everyday.

Thank you 😊

Best demo of Radio Taiso! Thanks so much! Hint to others, it helped me to use YouTubes built in speed control. I reduced the speed to 75% to help me follow along and learn it. Then back to full speed. 😉

Thank you for generously sharing this, especially during 2020 when we were all quarantined in our houses. This video is very helpful!

[BsWraith]

That felt awesome!!! I could definitely tell just how wound up I was from rarely moving in quarantine. And to topit off it was really fun! Thank you Subaru and the author/writer of Re: Zero!

[cpanlilio]

Definitely the easiest one to follow that I've been searching

Thanks gonna try to practice this with my auntie every day

[adrianthomas]

This is now apart of my morning routine.

[rajeev]

Excellent! Thank you so much for posting this! Love and regards from India!

I’ve been doing this every day for 2 weeks to get me into a morning exercise routine and I am absolutely loving it. It’s a great way to start the day.

Thank you! ❤
