StrikeoutNEW!

[Sports Recreation] Popular❣️ Strikeout 🔢🎾 #shorts #recreation #dayservice #seniors #rehabilitation #nursingcare #carefacility #Yamanashi #Kofu

Let us introduce “strikeout,” a game where you throw balls one by one at a target board labeled with the numbers 1 through 9 and knock them down.

Prepare a slightly larger number of balls and challenge yourself to see how many targets you can knock down with the balls you have.

If several people are playing, you can also compete to see who can knock down the most targets.

Throwing a ball helps strengthen the muscles in your shoulders and arms and also improves flexibility.

It also trains your core, making it a game that can have positive effects on your daily life.
