The Mizoguchi Method revolutionizes the concept of fitness, and was born from the Japanese Body Fit guru, Yoko Mizoguchi. Known on social media as HakoBodytuning has launched the challenge of 3 minutes a day to dedicate to fitness and movement.
Mizoguchi method: what it is
The creator of this new and successful training method started from reality, namely that people nowadays have little time to dedicate to physical activity, and that strict diets and often endless workouts are not very sustainable. But that’s not all, since often long training sessions and movements that are not suited to our body produce the opposite effect, i.e. they reduce mobility, the functionality of the joints, increasing abdominal swelling, stress and insomnia.
Hako started from here, creating an easy and, above all, fast method that mixes anatomy with classical dance, yoga and pilates. The goal? Increase mobility, tone and correct functionality of the internal organs.

The Method Mizoguchi includes five exercises, the purpose of which is to unblock the joints and help you have a correct posture. The duration? Just 3 minutes a day; theConsistency is important, because only in this way can the goal be achieved: freeing the joints of the pelvis and hips, and increasing flexibility.
The Hako method also has other benefits, such as:
The exercises of the Mizoguchi Method
Walking on the buttocks
The first exercise consists of walking with the buttocks and can also be done sitting. To do this you need to sit with your knees crossed and your back straight, and slowly rock to the side as if you were walking. This exercise improves movement of the pelvis, hips, and coordination.
Shoulder rotation
The second exercise focuses on the torso, with the rotation of the shoulders. Here’s how to proceed:
This exercise is effective for relieving tension that builds up in the shoulders and neck.
Rotation of the scapulae
This exercise is particularly effective for those who work hours and hours in front of the PC sitting at the desk. From a lying position, move your shoulders by moving them from top to bottom, and from front to back. Finally, rotate your entire back from left to right.
Buttock massage
This exercise lasts about a minute and goes to stimulate the buttocks, with the help of a ball.
Here’s how to proceed:
In this way, you improve the mobility of the hips and release muscle tension.
Ankle stretch
You can do the ankle stretch while sitting on the mat or in a chair. Extend your legs in front of you, and move your feet back and forth for about 30 seconds. This exercise relieves tension in the ankles. Breathing and opening the torso are also important to promote tissue oxygenation.
Through the Mizoguchi Method you can achieve maximum results by dedicating each day to this exercise routine lasting approximately 30 seconds each.
