13 Best Exercises for Balance and Mobility After 60 (Japanese Method)

Описание: Japanese seniors live nearly six years longer than Americans, and a major reason comes down to how they move every single day. This video breaks down Radio Taiso, Japan's national morning exercise routine practiced by over 27 million people, and shows you exactly how to do it at home in just three minutes.
You'll learn the complete 13-movement Radio Taiso routine with step-by-step instructions, including seated modifications for those with limited mobility. We cover the clinical research behind why these gentle exercises work, including a 2024 randomized controlled trial showing significant improvements in balance and endurance with a 94% adherence rate and virtually no adverse events.
The video also explores the movement habits of Okinawa, home to the longest-lived population in the world, and what Blue Zones research reveals about why Japanese elders stay active and independent decades longer than their American counterparts. You'll see the hard numbers comparing fall rates, physical activity levels, and healthy life expectancy between the two countries.
Whether you're looking for safe exercises to improve balance, prevent falls, or simply add more movement to your morning, this evidence-based guide gives you practical tools backed by peer-reviewed science.
