RADIO TAISO

 

I neglected to mention that my 90-year old mother practices a daily routine for decades.

It's called Radio Taiso (pronounced "tie-so") translated as calisthenics.

There are 3 different 3-minute levels that target slightly different areas.

Radio Taiso 1 focuses on the upper body (arm circles, chest stretches, side stretches, backward bend, body twist, forward bend, body circles, jumps, swinging arms and legs, deep breathing). 

For the mobility challenged, there is seated Taiso.
