About Hamatre (locomo prevention training that can be done at home)

In order to prevent locomo, this training was developed by Yokohama City focusing on the "walking" of the elderly to prevent locomo.
Even when you spend a lot of time at home, it is important to increase the time of standing and walking in the house, and exercise to strengthen the muscle strength of your legs and hips with squats to prevent physical loss.
Based on the characteristics of the attitude and walking style of the elderly, Hamatre can be exercised to improve the spine and posture, improve the inclination of the pelvis, extend the hip joint, improve the function of the ankle, and improve balance ability.

※Locomo is an abbreviation of "Locomotive Syndrome".
This refers to a condition in which muscle weakness due to aging and musculoskeletal disorders such as bone and joint diseases occur, and the ability to move such as "standing, sitting, and walking" decreases.

There are two types of Hamatre, "Hamatre", where you can train carefully, and "Hamatre (Experience)" that you can easily do every day.
"Hamatre" is made up of 20 types of exercises aimed at improving spine and posture, improving the pelvis, extending hip joints, improving the function of ankle joint, and improving balance.
With 60 minutes of training, it is recommended for people who want to move their body slowly. Click here for more information!

"Hamatre (experience version)" organizes 11 types of exercises that can be easily performed in Hamatre in accordance with Yokohama City songs that are popular with citizens.
You can easily work while humming the city song, and can also be used as a preparatory exercise for walking.
This is about 5 minutes of training, so it is recommended for those who want to continue casually every day!
