I’ve been working as a certified care worker for 17 years. I’m Nanaka, a caregiving web writer. I decided to pursue this profession because I wanted a job that would help people. Having worked in day care for many years, I’ve experienced a wide variety of recreational activities. Exercise set to music, in particular, always created a cheerful atmosphere and was very well received. I’d be delighted to continue delivering writing that resonates with readers through caregiving-related articles. Thank you for your support.

I worked at a day service for seven years and obtained my Certified Care Worker qualification in 2019. I have provided meal assistance and bathing assistance, as well as led recreational activities that involve physical movement and cognitive stimulation. I enjoy drawing and crafting. My motto is: “With a smile, anything is possible!” and I try to live joyfully every day. I’m also doting on my beloved Chihuahua.

Exercise is essential for good health, but as we become adults, many of us have fewer opportunities to be physically active, don’t we?

And I imagine there are also fewer chances to sing out loud.

For people like that, we recommend a wonderful routine that lets you do both at the same time!

In this article, we’ll introduce exercises for older adults that let you move your body while singing.

Please consider incorporating them into day services and other care facilities.

Of course, you can enjoy them while seated as well.

Move and sing together, and have a great time!

“Donguri Korokoro” is a song loved by people of all ages since childhood.

For an exercise routine using this song, make the basic movement rotating your hands in circles as if an acorn were rolling.

In addition, if you add one movement at a time—like falling into the pond or the loach drawing a curve—you can get a full-body workout.

In the part where the acorn falls into the pond, raising your shoulders higher than usual and then dropping them gives the fun feeling of jumping and splashing into the water.
