rajio taisou
EXCERCISE
Daily exercise is considered as important in Japan as it is in the West. While many Japanese today participate in aerobics classes, the traditional form of early morning exercise is ‘rajio taisou.’ Rajio taisou literally means ‘radio exercise,’ and it is just that. Most Japanese wake up to 5-10 minute calisthenic routines which are broadcast on radio stations throughout the nation. It is also popular for schools and companies to stop everything about mid-afternoon so everyone can participate in a brief series of bending and stretching exercises which are typically broadcast over the local PA system. National Health and Sports Day, a national holiday since 1964, celebrates the importance of exercise.
