The number of fitness influencers telling you that you do not have a double chin or are taller than you think is out of count. While most of these tips are just too ridiculous to trust and follow, there is one method that can give you a taller stature if your short appearance is due to bad posture. That is a Gyrotonic workout.

What exactly is a Gyrotonic workout?
Gyrotonic is a form of workout that borrows movements from other fitness methods such as yoga, gymnastics, tai-chi, ballet, and swimming, and is done with the help of Gyrotonic equipment.

What are the benefits of doing a Gyrotonic workout?

The machine’s unique design – made up of rounded discs and weighted pulleys – help stretch the muscles using circular movements that target the spine, thus improving your posture, flexibility, stability and mobility.

Given that a proper Gyrotonic workout is lined up in such a way that the movements flow smoothly from one to another, it does not affect the joints.

Plus, each step of the exercise can be adapted to an individual’s ability, so anyone can do it regardless of their age. It can even be practised by people who are recovering from injuries and is used in sports rehabilitation centres too.

The other advantages of this unique fitness regime include feeling energized, better mind and body coordination, an increase in mindfulness, stronger bones, improved blood circulation, and the list goes on.
