[uqqissuso]

Very nice indeed! Thanks! You could post more! I'm a GYROKINESIS practisioner and miss contact with others who also keep healthy doing this. It would be lovely to exercise with you! A pity I live in Brazil!

I heard these exercises are great for an hourglass figure.. And taking in the waist. Is this true?

[lrjasen]

Very nicely done! Question: What is the song/CD/background music? Thanks!

[cpelham]

@lrjasen Unfortunately, the person who edited the video and selected the music moved back to Japan and we have lost contact with him.

[Ongakumm]

@lrjasen i think its from Nujabes but i might be wrong, the specific name of the tracks i don't know but i hope it helps narrow down the search

[WalkIntoGlassDoors]

@Ongakumm Nah it isnt from Nujabes ): 

[WalkIntoGlassDoors]

@lrjasen The first piece is Minamo by DJ Okawari :)

Please people, just turn off your mind and move your body how it feels right, with music if you want, but in nature with natural sounds is the best way. That's the BEST way. The best movement for your body is that, which is individual and comes from you listening to your body and moving it. Of course it's fun to do it with others sometimes, too.

I find that 18 inches is good. You want to be able to sit (for many exercises) on the front edge of the chair, with your knees not higher than your sit bones, and your feet pressed firmly flat into the ground.

[vanessaleb]

How high should be the chair please?

Thank you very much! I work out to this every day. We don't have any gyrokenesis instructors in out town. So this is AWESOME!

I am very impresed the way you do it. So beautifully and light. Where are you teaching?? I would like to begyn with it just now.

Really like this video - beautiful, graceful movements. Eager to see more.

@StrawberryBigMac: You definitely develop greater core strength doing Gyro because the technique requires that you support all the movements with your core muscles., but Gyro is not designed to increase visible muscle mass. However, by increasing your flexibility and core strength and learning to use your core through a broad range of movements doing Gyro, you will become much better prepared to take on traditional weight training and avoid injury.

[StrawberryBigMac]

where does muscle building come in?
