Inviting the staff, including the director of the Tozuka Sports Center, who cooperated in creating gymnastics while doing gymnastics, as instructors, and actually doing gymnastics for health activity promotion members who are not familiar with gymnastics while doing the basic part He taught me how to do it effectively. In the application section, I also learned how to explain easily and tips and points for calling from the Tozuka Sports Center.
Before and after the gymnastics, I realized that the movement of the body (such as the range of motion of the joints) had changed, and I received comments such as "I understood it well after practicing it" and "It was easy to understand." In addition, voices such as "Let's make use of it in local activities" and "Let's incorporate it into activities" also raised.

With the cooperation of Yokohama Pharmaceutical University, I learned about medicinal herbs for the purpose of "learning basic knowledge of health promotion and practicing correct lifestyles". I was able to gain knowledge that was useful for health promotion in my daily diet and life.

On June 6, 2023, 89 health promotion staff members went to Yokohama Pharmaceutical University to visit medicinal herbs and farms, and received mini-lectures by Professor Iizuka and Professor Umehara.
Herbal herbs have been used as pharmaceuticals around the world for a long time, and many plants are also used as food.
There are some medicinal herbs that have ingredients that rejuvenate the body as efficacy, while others have poison.
This time, by seeing and touching the real thing in the medicinal garden where they are actually planted, I will see what I want to take into my body and use it in my life in order to stay healthier. I understand specifically.

Gymnastics was created with the cooperation of Tozuka Sports Center so that gymnastics could be easily performed.
It is an effective exercise to improve the stole and standing posture.
It can also prevent back pain and knee pain, so try to pose one pose without overdoing it when doing housework or watching TV.

Exercise commentary videos can be viewed on Hamaspo Yokohama Sports Information Site (outside site).

In recent years, the time to watch smartphones and personal computers has increased, and the number of people who feel stiff neck and stiff shoulders has increased.
Therefore, I created gymnastics that can be easily done between housework and work.
It is a gymnastics that can be done in one minute, so please try to go within a reasonable range during the gap time.
