Yes Jennifer, there are some similarities of GYRO. I am a licensed GYROTONIC instructor and have been practicing for about a decade. It's physically a part of my being.
I learned the 1st half and LOVE LOVE LOVE it. I am dripping sweat and it feels so great! LOVE LOVE LOVE LOVE. You're a Genius Lisa--a Genius. If 4 kids weren't about to get home, I would learn the second half. LOVE IT. Feels WONDERFUL!!!!!
