It's likely that you, the reader, are unfamiliar with gadgets known as 'gyroballs' or 'wristballs'. However, if you're starting to learn about them, you may have noticed numerous claims about the benefits for the wrists and forearms. This informative article aims to guide you through this new dimension of physical exercise and inform you of other notable features.
A personal experience led me to develop an innovative method for using gyroballs. The decision to share this knowledge was influenced by various factors and was thoroughly researched before the method was developed.
For a few months, I practiced regular gyroball movements, once or twice a week. The device, seen in the next photo, is an NSD Powerball that required a string to activate. My goal was to maintain arm strength during the pandemic when my gym visits were limited.
From the beginning, I realized that most of the information available online was quite superficial. Some blogs briefly mentioned the product and two manufacturers provided instructions on a few moves.
After using my first gyroball, I felt an incredible sense of strength and tension in my forearms. At that time, I made a point of working both my left and right arms with equal intensity.
In 2021, shortly after having surgery on my hand, I asked my doctor if I could return to my gyroball routine. I had no idea what it would be like to have pins inserted into a delicate bone at the base of my thumb. But I knew that gyroball, because it does not generate any impact, would be a safe method for keeping my arms in shape until full recovery.
Two weeks after the surgery, I utilized my decades of yoga experience to my advantage. In addition to the process of consolidating the fracture, I activated the mechanism and reduced the diameter of my gyrations as much as possible to avoid putting too much strain on my wrist.
I began to notice a shift in the strength of the gyroball towards my trapezoids and back muscles. As I moved the gyroball with both arms, I was motivated to increase the resistance to the powerful and fluid return of force that the device provides. After a few weeks, and being able to return to the gym, I noticed a clear improvement with the devices.
It was at this point that I realized I was experiencing one of those moments where I needed to change my routine. I started to keep track of the time spent on each arm in order to increase the effectiveness of the exercise, always working on both arms.
I acquired a generic gyroball, which indicated the core speed through different lights. The activity became more frequent.
One important measure I took in developing the method was to use a mirror to ensure I was working both arms in a balanced manner.
By the end of 2021, using the gyroball had become a regular routine. Spending just 3-4 minutes a day on it caused muscle groups to grow, particularly in the extremities where the ligament tissue is found. This resulted in an unprecedented aesthetic effect. The muscles remained tense and hypertrophied for two or three days, while gym machines only gave me a maximum of 24 hours of 'pump.' The result was increased muscle mass and less arm fat.
In April 2022, after months of researching and finding no one else doing something similar, I decided to create 6 classes. The level of withdrawal related to gyroballs seemed high to me, so I explained the reasons for this in the introductory video for the course.
No one will learn to move the gyroball overnight, even the basic moves. Therefore, the first exercise of the course requires not only basic control but also the use of the dominant hand. It may take some work, but just two or three minutes a day is sufficient. The dexterity with the non-dominant hand is already recorded in our central nervous system, which is not controlled by the conscious mind. It just requires practice.
I have a strong affection for my shoulders, which have already been operated on to cure instability. I used the exercises to convert unstable joints into safe and resilient ones. My reflexes seem fully restored. This victory led me to research and I quickly found interesting physiotherapy practices, as well as articles on the relationship between physical exercise and the nervous system.
I also found some research on gyroballs, and one of them is particularly noteworthy: the practice generates increased proprioception, which is the unconscious response to stimuli. For those who have shoulder instability, this is valuable information. But it only works if the patient knows how to shift the energy from the device to that joint. Otherwise, they will only notice differences in their forearms.
For the classes, I tried to apply knowledge of injury prevention based on my years of yoga, physiotherapy, and controlled exercises in the gym. Therefore, I decided to make the course available on a reputable and cautious platform. Simply demonstrating the method would be risky for many people, and the engagement of those who put in some effort to enroll will be infinitely higher than that of those who just stumble upon someone doing something on YouTube.
Today, I feel strong and increasingly passionate about the method I created. I am in no rush to turn this mission into any kind of return.
My new students, I am confident, will provide valuable feedback and aid in spreading this knowledge to those looking to rehabilitate themselves or simply improve their strength and stability to maximize their training efforts. The potential of gyroballs and the benefits of proprioception are too great to be ignored, and I am excited to share my method with those who are ready to unlock the full potential of this incredible tool.
Thank you for reading and I hope to see you in the course soon.
