Morning Exercises at NTT

If this just doesn't make me laugh, I don't know what will! These company workers from NTT (Nippon Telephone and Telegraph) do their exercises EVERY morning at 9:00 a.m. You can see the boss man in front of the group swinging away to some tape recorded music. Sometimes he gives a speech, but only if they're lucky. Maybe I should go out there and join them someday!

These guys really boogie down sometimes! They do some serious arm circles and knee bends, and the men swing thier hips like I've never seen before!

These people look as if they are having a spiritual awakening! You might be confused if this is a tent revival or morning company exercises in Japan! Hilarious!

C'mon baby...let's do the twist! C'mon baby...you can shake it like this! Actually, studies prove that this shakin' goin' on improves work performance and sharpens employees minds! Watch out! It's coming to a company near you!

In this picture you can get an idea of what I can see from my deck! You can see two massive apartment structures in the background. Sometimes I feel as if Japan is a sea of apartment complexes. It was a rainy day but these die hard company employees braved the sprinkes to get down and dirty!

There they go! Pumped up and ready to work! They only exercise for a total of five minutes. I wonder if it does the job? A few arm circles here, a few waist bends there, and bow and go! That's it, your morning workout! No sweat!
