It's been one month since we started our exercise programs for people living in temporary housings. The number of the participators rises and falls, depending on the climate or their temporary return to their homes (※1) but many people willingly attend our exercise programs which start at 9a.m. and 10a.m.. They seem to have got used to the exercises
"After the exercises, I feel better and I can move quickly "
These are the words of the participators who are looking forward to attending the programs every week.
"I've got to go and see a doctor, so I can't attend the program today, but next week
I'd like to come. "
Some people show up just to tell us that so that we know why they don't come to the programs of the day. People here are very kindhearted.They don't make us disappointed at their absence. And they want us to know that they're willing to come back next week.
Today, we handed out a "goal achievement" sheet to each participator.
We've made this sheet so that they can keep tabs on their blood pressure, body weight,body fat rate and such. These points are shown in graph charts, so participators can easily see their achievements of the exercises.
Also we asked them to set a goal in one month and a goal in a year.
At the moment, each participator is trying to reach the goal of this month.
(Each goal is set lower so that they can keep on doing exercises).
We'll appreciate your help and support.

Today,they were allowed to go back home for a couple of hours so that they can collect what they need : important ID cards or documents. Needless to say,they were obliged to wear protection gear),
