I started doing the stretching first thing this morning, and was really surprised at my stiffness and reduced range of motion. I stopped, had a coffee, then went back to it, slow down the video speed and I was able to follow along… with a little adaption to some of the moves for now…it was great. I certainly will be doing this each morning because I realize after doing it ,how much need to. Thanks again for another wonderful video.
@@27kjh ah, think you. It's comments like these that I live for. It took me a while to get near the full range of motion on these too. But it will good along the way. Check back in 6 months or so 😁 to say how you're going with it.
Oh yes, Rajio Taiso! You made me all nostalgic about growing up in Japan in the 70s. I can still hear the piano accompaniment in my head. During the summer break, they had us do this in each community early in the morning, with the music from a radio piped in loud. And you got a stamp on your card afterwards. The goal was to fill up your card without any missed days.
I sit down most of my day and it is starting to take its toll I was looking for a quick and easy exercise I could do every 1/2 or so and this hits the spot, it really wakes you up without straining yourself and you get to move all your body. The moves are easy, I memorise them after the first couple of times, but I still watch the video because you're fun 😊 Thank you!
@@Evilforzapalermo So happy to hear that! (And you're helping the RUclips algorithm recognise this channel's greatness) 😂. Thank you for watching and commenting.
Did this yesterday before going to my very physical job. I'm a massage therapist and after 5 and a half hours of massaging, I felt terrific. All day I felt like I had boundless energy. I'm going to do this every day!! Thank you!!
I'm an LMT also who is struggling with the physical rigors of the job. My max is 6 hrs hands-on time per day (tho my schedule isn't always full). Going to try this routine this week and see if it makes a difference!
Started the routine. It's fairly easy although I don't do the movement perfectly yet. And I did feel energized right after. I love that I don't need anything else than my own body to do them. And that I don't have to sit on the floor. Even if my floors are cleaned I don't like to sit on them, it's an OCD thing of mine! :-) I'm certainly motivated to continue and look forward to see the improvements over time.
I am literally standing on my treadmill about to slow jog (thanks to this channel) while writing this post. (Treadmill instead of outside because it's still dark out where I live) Thought I'd give this stretching routine a try before I begin instead of what I usually do. It will be interesting to see what it does. I'm dealing with an injury from over doing it and pushing myself too hard. I was looking for alternatives to try while waiting for a surgery date and for after. That's how I found this channel. I am so tired of doing the opposite of DSY, lol. Finding this channel was perfect timing for me. I am really looking forward to the upcoming isometric videos! Thanks!
Feel free to modify the postures to suit what you can currently do. In Japan, even people on wheelchairs do it, so obviously the exercises are adapted to their needs. Take care of yourself. Hope everything goes well and you recover fast (and you let yourself recover by not pushing yourself too much too soon). Hard to do for some people. :P
Thank you for the continuous support! The idea of this video is exactly for people to follow it every time. Even when I've been doing it for so long, I still do it watching the video instruction,too. It feels nice to follow the tempo of the music isn't it?😉
I had a good giggle while doing these for the first time today because I played it at 50% speed to get the choreography right.. and you sound so so so stoned at that speed! I was surprised at how much my arms and shoulders protested at this, but then I'm old and a bit clunky now. Clearly it's something to persevere with. Thanks. 🥰
I hoped it was happy-stoned :D And yes. Stick with it and it will change your life. And it's only 3 minutes (once you get the choreography right, of course ;P)
Thank you for this. I appreciate your videos and want to try your approach to exercise. I did this one and want to incorporate it in my day. I will try your slow jogging. I have osteoporosis and I do a bit of strength work for that and some jumping for bone formation, some yoga, walking, and qigong. Thank you.
Sounds like you've got your bases covered and you know what you're doing. Good luck and thank you for watching. That stretching routine is fun so I hope it works for you too. "Adopt what useful, reject what is useless and add what is specifically your own" 😉
This looks so doable! I have started doing the interval walking and felt it kept me focussed on the act of walking. I walk almost every day so this fits well. I was wondering what you think about rebounding?
@@patriciapothiers2754 I think it sounds like fun but do not have a trampoline. Though as I type this I stand on 2 yoga bricks as I type on my computer (it's high up now) and stretch my calves and feel their rebound as I go up and down in a mock walk. It is fun 😀. Do whatever is fun. But I can't live without radio taiso any more. 😂
@@sendykafitover40 I still train hard 2 or 3 times a week w/ kettlebells and dumbbells, but put more emphasis on mobility training, and, at 70, see the wisdom in moderating things. I like the DSY rule. I also like cat, or leopard, crawling, from the Original Strength videos I've watched. Animal movements can be done in short sessions and produce good results.
Excellent. Just left you a link on the other one. I'm hoping I'm not confusing everyone (and the Almighty RUclips Algorithm) with 2 videos at the same time. But I made the follow along's thumbnail yellow!
You can slow down or speed up RUclips videos by pressing the small wheel in the top right hand corner. Select Playback Speed and then choose what speed you want. I found this very helpful.
You can slow the video in the settings. I just played it at 50%. Once I can do that without errors or having to think about what to do next, I'll increase it to 75%, and them to 100% (maybe). Have fun!
Very useful to have a separate video with just the exercise routine!
Glad you think so! More to come!

This... is exactly me nowadays. Gotta ease into everything, and keep at it
@@timdietel9797 ...and it will change your life for the better!
Ditto. At 69, and a stretching Newby, the regular pace is too fast. Good tip slowing the video. I'll learn how to do that.
I also slowed it down to .75 speed then perfect for me🙂

@@SC-gp7kt tell us how it goes!
First exercises in front of my mobile since 46 years - good job Pawel - best regards from Poland 🇵🇱
Yey! Thanks! This set of stretches is the best thing since sliced bread!
this is great-change playback speed to .75x or .5x for a slightly less frenetic pace!
Great tip! If it works, it works.

Cool. It's the best thing ever. I do it every day. And don't worry about "perfect" movement. Good enough is good enough for now :D

@@jons3808 You're welcome. I think it's the best thing since sliced bread 😀
@@sendykafitover40 I’d venture to say it’s better than sliced bread! ☺️
@@jons3808 if it's the white bread with sugar added then definitely! 😁
Thanks, very energising. Added this to my morning routine!
@@DavidLoveOfficial hahaha..that's what I wanted to hear!
Love this routine and your sense of humour
Thank you. More coming. Come back soon!
Good content! Thanks
I'm glad that you enjoy it!😉
I feel better just watching. Thank you.
I'm so glad! Imagine how great it will be once you actually do it! ;)
😂😂
Still doing the routine Even though I remember it pretty well by now, it’s still nice to have the video one every now and then. :-)

Omg, I’m so uncoordinated. I’m glad no-one could see me having a go at that. Comedy gold.
@@OrganisedPauper You'll memorise the movements in no time. I finally mastered some of the transitions only recently. But it's fun anyway isn't it? 🤣
@@sendykafitover40 Yes. As long as I don’t fall over 🤣
@@OrganisedPauper Ha ha. Try doing it on a yoga mat.😂
@@sendykafitover40 I’ve just discovered I can’t slow down the speed of the videos. 🙌
@@OrganisedPauper hahaha. But you can speed it up and then the normal speed will seem slower 😂
Realy enjoy doing this exercise😊
@@GeorgeSalmonX it's the best. I never skip it. My day just seems incomplete without it.
❤🎉 84 i am ! getting over serious covid but now tip toeing through the tulips thanks to slow jogging YESS

Bit fast. Could have done with a slow example of each movement first
