For this next episode, Konishiki and the team turn to the dohyo. Konishiki guides us through the sumo exercise routine. Yoshinori counts as he leads Hiroshi and Koki through each form. The Japan Sumo Association also offers a little help with their own description of the basic sumo exercises.
They start with chirichozu and go through shiko and even mata wari — splits. Let’s see what you all can do. Share video with me on BlueSky, Instagram, or Twitter and I’ll share it along.

Hi all,
can‘t get this video to play. Does it work for you?
It’s not playing? Odd. WordPress did act weird when I uploaded but I can watch fine. But it might just be playing for me… which is a problem. I’ll try to reupload.
I have re-uploaded the video. Let me know if you can watch.
I was able to watch all 7min 45 seconds. Thank you again Andy, for posting this content. I will rewatch this many times to try to add these exercises to my mornings. I can really use the stretching!
I think my hamstrings would snap. But yes, I will want to ease myself into the routine.
