Madonna does it to keep in shape and transform her body, as do Teri Hatcher, Kim Cattrall, and Gwyneth Paltrow. Tiger Woods and Shaquille O´Neal do it to hone their technique and stay in top form. It´s called the GYROTONIC EXPANSION SYSTEM®, and it´s a revolutionary and unique exercise method based on the principles of yoga, tai-chi, ballet, gymnastics and swimming.
It was created in the late 1970s by Juliu Horvath who, with this technique, rehabilitated himself from the multitude of injuries he sustained through his years of being a professional dancer. It soon grew in popularity among the dance community, but nowadays the GYROTONIC® method is used by people from all ages and walks of life - from professional dancers to olympic athletes, people with joint replacements or back injuries, in rehabilitation centres, and the most sedentary office workers.
What´s unique about GYROTONIC® exercise (and what makes it so safe to do) is that it is impact free (the weight and pulley system of the specially designed machine - the Tower - provides smooth movement and support as if underwater) and it utilises three-dimensional movements applicable to everyday life (as opposed to the linear patterns in most other exercises, even Pilates). With GYROTONIC® exercise (and GYROKINESIS®
GYROTONIC® exercise stretches and strengthens the body, toning it without bulk. Connective tissue in and around joints are stimulated and become stronger. Energy blockages are released, and you become more aware of your body (it´s often referred to as meditation in motion). Coordination, balance, flexibility and posture are improved and, just like in Pilates, you develop profound core strength. The system is fully adjustable to your body´s size, abilities and needs, and it can be as aerobic or as gentle as you want it to be.
