Yes, let's give it a try.
Gesture & etiquette
Stand facing them but offer to sit beside them if they prefer chair-based. Demonstrate the first move slowly. Match their pace — never push harder than they want. Stop at first sign of dizziness, breath shortness, or fatigue.
ラジオ体操 (radio calisthenics) is a nostalgic morning routine virtually every Japanese senior remembers from school or community. Music broadcasts on NHK at 6:30 AM. Frame as 'we together' (ご一緒に) — never just point at them. Use chair-based version (椅子体操) if standing is difficult. Stop immediately at any sign of dizziness.
