What a day! Sleep till 12:30pm, gyrotonics at 3:30pm, and then Shave Ice. Could it get any better than that?!
If you don't know what Gyrotonics is don't worry neither did I till today. Gyro is based off of the principles of Gyrokinesis that integrates yoga, tai chi, dance, and sports while maintaining it own original system. The body is stimulated and worked gradually through fluid repetitious movements, each exercise series individually progressing in range of movement, intensity, and speed.

OMG...soo much fun! Fluid motions, it's like a dancing pilates class. Bringing out the inner dancer!! Fabe and I started with warming up our spine, lengthening and creating space. Then we went to our legs doing quivers to awaken all the muscles in our legs before we started the leg series. After we opened our shoulders with dance like movements using the straps, really opening our chest and shoulders. We ended with some standing exercises. It was definitely a great workout, awakening every muscle in the body. All the movements that we did really created heat inside the body, I was working up a sweat in the studio. My body was warming up for sure!! I felt awkward and uncoordinated while first going through the motions because it is very dancer-like, but that was the fun part about it. Can't wait for the next class.
Definitely a new addiction!
And then after class Fabe took me to get the BEST shave ice ever at Samira's Country Market. Homemade mango and haupia syrup, which was absolutely AMAZING!!! A nice little cool down to end the day!
