Radio Taiso: The 100-Year-Old Japanese Workout.<\/a><\/strong> Every morning at 6:30 a.m., Japan’s public radio company broadcasts a simple calisthenics workout that 25 million Japanese follow each morning. It’s called Radio Taiso, and it’s been a thing since the 1920s. It got its inspiration from Walter Camp’s famous “Daily Dozen” exercise routine<\/a>. Back in the 1920s, radio stations in America started broadcasting workout routines similar to the Daily Dozen for listeners to follow. The idea got exported to Japan where it’s become a national fitness tradition that’s still going strong today.<\/p>\n Ritual and Sacrifice in the Corrida: The Saga of C\u00e9sar Rinc\u00f3n.<\/em><\/strong><\/a> After I read Hemingway’s The Sun Also Rises<\/em> several years ago, I wanted to learn more about bullfighting, so I picked up this biography of one of bullfighting’s greatest matadors, C\u00e9sar Rinc\u00f3n. The author does a good job of explaining the history and culture of bullfighting in Spain and other Spanish-speaking countries as well as in parts of France. The really interesting bits are the insights about manliness and honor in bullfighting culture. It’s a good anthropological look at a world very few people know about.<\/p>\n Huckberry x Chaco Z\/1.<\/a> <\/strong>I’m picking up a pair of Huckberry x Chaco Z\/1 for my summertime adventures, including a float down the Illinois River with the teenage boys I lead at church. The last time I took a float trip, I wore flip-flops, and I kept losing them. The straps on the Chacos will prevent that from happening.<\/p>\n Creed III<\/em>.<\/a> <\/strong>After our family watched all the Rocky<\/em> movies<\/a>, we moved on to the Creed<\/em> series. We finished Creed III<\/em> the other night, and while we were all skeptical we would like a Rocky<\/em> movie without Rocky, we all ended up enjoying it. It definitely had a different “vibe” compared to the Creed<\/em> movies with Stallone, but I thought Michael B. Jordan did a great job taking this franchise in a new direction while still subtly paying homage to the original Rocky<\/em>. <\/p>\n Quote of the Week<\/strong><\/p>\n There are two kinds of failures: The man who will do nothing he is told, and the man who will do nothing else. <\/span><\/p>\n \u2014Dr. Perle Thompson<\/span><\/p><\/blockquote>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Radio Taiso: The 100-Year-Old Japanese Workout.
