Radio Exercises

Lately, I see people’s posts on Facebook about doing Radio Exercise during this summer vacation. For TSUNEISHI FACTORY in Hiroshima, it is a common activity that factory staff and office staff do this exercises before 8:00am; just before starting business hours.

This exercise is originally broadcasted on the radio since 1928.

It reminds me of the time seeing people do this exercise across the street from my first office. Usually we start at 10:00am at our office in Tokyo so we don’t see this often, however, I was surprised to see people exercising with this music in front of our building after I stayed a whole night working at the office and looked outside by chance. The radio exercises might be a nice way to loosen up our bodies and motivate ourselves, don’t you think?
