OFFICIAL DESCRIPTION:
In the GYROTONIC EXPANSION SYSTEM® (GYROTONIC®, GYROKINESIS®, and other specialized equipment) the motion patterns are natural, turbulence free and pure with no interruption. The exercises are circular, enabling the user to perform with no limitation to speed and impact. Each exercise is synchronized with a corresponding breathing pattern and is performed with either a rhythm or melodic rhythmical expression, creating a gentle or vigorous cardiovascular-aerobic stimulation, depending on the intensity and speed of the execution. Special attention is paid to increase the functional capacity of the spine, resulting in a superior and well-proportioned body, which is significantly less prone to injuries. It also reduces long term accumulation of micro trauma the physique obtains, and extraordinary flexibility and essential strength, culminating in an organic rejuvenation, increased vitality and vigor.
