Thank you very much, Vermilion.
The radio exercise is started at 6:30am and it's about 5 minutes.
The early-morning short exercise intends that an adult makes it easy to participate.

OK, now I understand what you wanted to say.

My sentences are simple though.

The radio exercise starts at 6:30am and lasts only 5 minutes.
As it's early and very short, it's easy for adults to join it.
