Gyrotonics

Gyrotonics seems like a good body alignment and strengthening exercise with benefits for flexibility as well. Little stress is placed on the joints. I do not think it can fully take the place of exercise, but may be good to replace an exercise program one day a week to change things up and at the same time work on strength, flexibility and the coordination between muscles, bones and breathing three-dimensionally.

The latter is interesting. We work out in the frontal, sagittal and transverse planes. Working out in all three simultaneously for some seconds at a time at least can get us off a plateau and ready us for everyday movements better (unless you are only a couch potato.)
