Gyrotonic training – the most complete exercise system around.

In my (very biased) opinion, GYROTONIC® training is the most brilliant exercise system ever created. Being a certified instructor since 1999 will definitely create a bias. As much as I really enjoy yoga, weight training and kettlebells, Gyrotonic training is my number one choice and passion. It’s physical fitness at it’s most refined.

5 pieces of equipment, 1 system of motion

The five pieces of equipment are the Pulley Tower Unit, the Jumping Stretching Board, the Archway, the Leg Extension Unit and the GYROTONER®. The same principles of movement are used on each piece but each piece asks your body to be in very different positions. You’ll move all your joints through all their ranges of motion, usually with resistance. I find Gyrotonic training to be a nearly limitless system that can help almost anyone reach their movement and fitness goals.

Exercise of the week: Pendulum from the Seated Leg Work series

Focus on the rotator muscles of your hip joints with Pendulum

The muscles of the hips joints are strengthened in some way in every exercise system, but a focus on the rotational movement of the hips joints, with resistance, is truly unique.

Squat Backstroke with the Wingmaster in Setting 3

I’ve made it a part of the way I train clients that they get on their feet for at least one exercise in every workout. The benefits of a complex exercise that includes squats, like this one, go beyond leg strength and even include benefits for your brain.

Mess The Hair from the Upper Body Series

Mess the Hair from the Upper Body Series

This is a fun “level 2” exercise. Level 2 workouts aren’t only about more difficult exercises but also how you put them together into long sequences and really uniting the timing and the breathing. I’m not even sure if “mess the hair” is what it’s called. But that’s one of the cues for the movement, “mess the hair/fix the hair”.

Climbing the straps from the Levitation series on the Gyrotonic ladder

Levitation Series on the Ladder – Climbing the straps

Climbing the straps from the Levitation series on the Ladder

When you’re doing Levitation exercises on the Ladder you’re strengthening your posterior chain: primarily your back muscles and your glutes. And it’s called “levitation” because you’re floating up against gravity. Then wouldn’t using a strap be a little bit of a cheat?
