On October 25th, Master Trainer Donna Place came down from Long Beach to give me my update and review course. It is required for all pre-trainers to take this course annually. As always the work had a tremendous effect on my body.

Juliu Horvath is the inventor of GYROTONIC® and continues to evolve the work through his Master Trainers. As the work evolves, my body evolves, and connects deeper with the exercises, finding a perfect rhythm and ease of movement. This workout never ceases to amaze me, even after eight years of doing the work. I'm certain I'll be saying the same thing another eight years down the road. The more I'm able to perfect the movements, the more I love this work, and what it does for my body and mind.

I wish the review could have lasted a week rather than a few hours, as I would have gladly skipped meals and sleep to evolve even deeper into GYROTONIC® exercises. Yesterday morning was the first day since then, that I was able to get in a full hour workout. I definitely am going to make it a point to get in at least four full sessions per week.

This is the benefit of the review courses, they re-energize and stimulate me back into the work.

Donna brought me the latest GYROTONIC® invention, The Dragon™, to borrow until mine is shipped here to San Diego. This is a miniature GYROTONIC EXPANSION SYSTEM® for children, best suited for children over the age of three. Though my 17 month old does enjoy straddling the bench and playing with the handle unit, she is not quite doing an arch and curl just yet. But as soon as her arms are long enough to do a full rotation, I'm sure she will have those perfected in no time.

So this is exciting, because I'm now able to offer Mommy and Me private GYROTONIC® sessions!
