So What’s the Deal with Gyrotonic®? Maybe you’ve tried it, maybe you mean to try it, or maybe you’re not entirely sure. But if you have yet to book an appointment with Chris, here’s some new motivation for you: what everyone who’s tried it has been saying about it. Every person who walks out of the Gyrotonic® room has a grin on their face. If it’s their first time trying it out, the first thing they say is usually ‘Wow, my back hasn’t felt this good in ages!’ And the regulars? According to one of our clients, “It’s fabulous; everyone should do it.” And there really is something for everyone, no matter what your fitness goals may be. From stretching and improving your flexibility to punching it up a notch into strength and cardio training, you can have a calm, relaxing wind-down or a powerful workout. And to wrap it up, Chris finishes the sessions with a five-or-ten minute massage. So what are you waiting for? Call 586-3410 to book your appointment today! Deep Rotators (taken from Six muscles located in your hip and posterior area can make all the difference in your workout. Strengthening them helps to ensure that your thighs rotate properly in your hip sockets and also helps you to correctly align your pelvis. Weak deep rotators can cause a slew of problems, beginning at the inside: your leg bones are most likely internally rotated and there isn’t enough glide in your hip socket. It can cause hip pain, tight hip flexors, flat feet, knock knees, knee pain, lower back compression and a forward pelvic tilt. The key to proper form is to find your neutral pelvis. Workout: Lie on your back with knees bent your knees and feet hip-width apart. Without flexing the muscles in your posterior (your butt), draw your belly button in and up toward your spine, and rock your pelvis so that your lower back makes contact with the floor. Continue to draw your navel up and in as you rock your pelvis in the opposite direction, creating a space between your low back and the mat. Rock back and forth six times, and then stop when your pubic bones and hip bones are in the same plane. New in the New
