Work experience in a hospital as a physical therapistNakamū
I worked as a physical therapist at a general hospital for about four years. I’ve supported a wide range of patients, from those needing emergency rehabilitation to those doing rehabilitation at home at a comfortable pace. As a writer, I’d be happy to share health-related information with many people. Thank you, and I look forward to working with you!

Many older adults probably do calisthenics every day, don’t they?

It’s important to make exercise a habit, but how about refreshing yourself occasionally with a different routine?

Doing exercises or dances that match the season can really lift your spirits!

It can also be a chance to learn the meaning behind the day—something many people don’t actually know.

We’ll update this daily, so be sure to add it to your everyday routine and enjoy building your health in a fun way!

Rhythmic exercises to a children's song

Rhythmic exercises set to a children’s song are a wonderful idea.

Moving your hands and feet to the tune of “Antagata Dokosa” sounds fun and sure to bring a smile.

Lifting your foot on the syllable “sa” is especially unique.

It might even help with dementia prevention.

It’s perfect for morning exercise and seems like it would be refreshing.

Since it’s a nostalgic song, the appeal is that everyone can move while singing together.

It’s great that you can enjoy it even while seated.

With the gentleness and familiarity of a children’s song, it feels like everyone can share a joyful time.

Singing out loud while moving your body just feels so good, doesn’t it?

Kyu Sakamoto, an enka singer with fans across a wide range of ages.

The exercise routine set to his song “Ashita ga Aru sa” is recommended because it’s low-impact—you can even do it seated by just moving your hands.

If you move your right hand diagonally upward and your left foot diagonally downward at the same time, you can also expect a brain-training effect! Adding a motion where you place your hands on your shoulders and rotate your shoulder blades can help relieve common stiffness in the back and shoulders.

And even if you mess up, the lyrics—“There’s always tomorrow”—lift your spirits, so it’s a win-win!
