Radio Taiso Routine 3: Revitalising Standing or Sitting Exercises: Radio Taiso, #3

By Richie Neville

The following is the third of the famous Radio Taiso exercise routines from Japan (two more slightly more vigorous routines are also available from Internal Force Fitness). It is an exercise program that does not discriminate based on age, gender or disability: it is intended for EVERYONE. No matter who you are, or what your limitations are, the EIGHT exercises in this particular routine will be effective in moving ALL parts of your body, leaving you refreshed and revitalised.

 

With the minimum of changes, ALL these exercises can also be done sitting down, so whether you're a wheelchair user, or just not quite ready for standing exercises, you can make this routine YOURS.

 

There are some subtle changes to a couple of the exercises (from those that the Japanese might perform), but this is simply to make it easier for complete beginners to follow along and LEARN. "Radio Taiso" simply means "Radio Exercises" and the radio part comes from the musical accompaniment on Japanese radio. The musical accompaniment is not necessary, but some nice relaxing background music makes an excellent addition.
