One of the things that makes GYROTONIC® training a nearly limitless exercise system are the creative variations. With few exceptions, every upper body exercise on the Pulley Tower is first done seated. The side seated side bend is a staple of the Handle Series. Now get up on your feet and add a sumo squat!
This exercise, Helicopter, from the Upper Body Series, has alot to wrap your head around. There’s the 3×3 pattern that’s broken up by extension and flexion of the elbows. Then there’s the 4 part breathing pattern that lays on top of that. And that’s before we even put you on your feet.
This might be my favorite exercise using the Wingmaster. When I used to teach online Wingmaster classes, this exercise, in either Setting 2 or Setting 3, would be included in almost every class. The feeling of this exercise is one of the most satisfying of all the Wingmaster material.
