The “Tissue Hoo Exercise,” which helps strengthen lung capacity and improve oral function, is a unique routine that might even spark some laughs.
You can do it in brief spare moments, so let’s try it together! Hold a tissue in front of your mouth and exhale to lift the tissue.
Aim to exhale with a steady “hoo” for about five seconds.
It may look very easy, but maintaining an exhale for five seconds can feel long.
If five seconds is difficult, don’t push yourself—what’s important is to do it within the range that’s comfortable for you.

How about trying a “chest stretch” that can bring surprising benefits like easier breathing and a balanced autonomic nervous system? In fact, shallow breathing often stems from stiffness in the shoulder blades and imbalances in the autonomic nervous system.
Doing this simple stretch can deepen your breathing, so give it a try! Place your fingertips under your ears and move your head up and down.
Continue for 10 seconds, remembering to breathe.
Next, raise your left hand and take 3 breaths, then raise your right hand and take 3 breaths to finish.
It’s a very simple movement, so why not try continuing it for a week to start?
Posture improvement from the respiratory muscles: a stretch routine to straighten out a slouched (cat-like) backNEW!
When you develop a hunched back, your breathing becomes shallow and it can cause fatigue.
In addition, a hunched posture shortens the back of the neck, which can compress the autonomic nerves, leading to various physical issues such as loss of appetite and irritability.
If you have a hunched back or respiratory conditions, try this exercise to improve your posture and breathing.
To expand the lungs, focus on inflating your back, abdomen, and the area around the solar plexus.
If you don’t usually pay attention to your breathing, you might wonder how to “inflate” those areas, but if you consciously focus on the area you want to expand, you’ll find it easy to do.
You’ll get the best results by doing it in a calm, relaxed state, so be sure to keep your attention on your breath as you practice.
Respiratory Muscle Stretching ExercisesNEW!
The respiratory muscles may be an unfamiliar term, but they are important muscles that expand and contract the rib cage when you inhale and exhale.
By training these respiratory muscles, you can expect beneficial effects such as easing shortness of breath, improving lung function, and stabilizing your mood, so let’s all give it a try! We’ll relax the muscles with stretches for the shoulders, chest, and back.
When stretching, the key is to inhale slowly through your nose and exhale slowly through your mouth.
Make it part of your daily routine to help stabilize your breathing and your mood.
Lung Training ExercisesNEW!
Lung training, which can offer various benefits, is a recommended exercise for older adults.
Sit on a chair with your feet shoulder-width apart.
Cross your hands in front of your body and raise them above your head.
Be sure to inhale through your nose as you do this.
Then, while exhaling through your mouth, keep your hands as they are and bend your body to the right.
Return to the starting position, and do the same on the left side.
This exercise loosens the muscles around the lungs and enhances their ventilation function.
By enabling your bloodstream to take in more oxygen, it helps regulate the autonomic nervous system and is said to aid in preventing high blood pressure, arteriosclerosis, and myocardial infarction.
With so many welcome benefits, why not start this lung-training exercise today?
[For Seniors] Rehabilitation exercises focused on each body part. Introducing simple exercises that can be incorporated without strain (41–50)
1-minute knee-shaking exerciseNEW!
How much TV do you watch in a day? Some of you might even be on your smartphones while watching TV.
How about turning that smartphone time into knee-friendly exercises? Sit in a chair where you can rest your back against the wall, and start by simply swinging your legs.
Small, jittery movements like fidgeting can also improve blood flow.
Rubbing your kneecaps, or gently loosening the muscles around them in circular motions, is fine too.
By combining various knee exercises, it could even help prevent knee pain!
Rhythmic gymnastics: lower body exercisesNEW!
Here’s a lower-body exercise you can do to a children’s song.
You can do it while sitting in a chair, so give it a try.
First, open both feet outward alternately to the rhythm.
Next, do leg extensions with a focus on your thighs.
From there, perform the designated moves such as heel raises and foot touches.
Once you finish everything, repeat the sequence, and this time try adding upper-body movements as well.
It’s a gentle indoor workout for the hips and knees, but don’t push yourself if you feel any pain.
