A gyro trainer is a portable exercise equipment that contains a gyroscope to strengthen hand, wrist, and arm muscles. It is recommended by physical therapists for patients with wrist problems and can be used for a variety of exercises. It is easy to use and relatively low cost.

A gyro trainer is portable exercise equipment that can help strengthen the muscles in the hands, wrists, and arms. It is similar in size to a tennis ball and contains a gyroscope within its outer shell. The gyroscope, a rotating wheel, increases speed as the user maneuvers the equipment through subtle movements of the wrist. Since a gym is capable of rotating thousands of rotations per minute, the force required to control and continue to rotate the device can be a useful tool in physical therapy or daily strength training.

Gyms come in a variety of models. The most common is the hand ball without accessories; however, some companies have added attractive colors and even light-emitting diode (LED) lights. Many of these attributes have no function other than that they are supposed to be aesthetically pleasing.

Sometimes a gyroscope may come with a handle so that an individual can grip the equipment as if they were holding a dumbbell. Other models come with two handles on the other side of the gyroscope. Both models could more easily allow a user to perform the same movements that one might do in free weight training.

Gyms are often recommended by physical therapists for patients with wrist problems such as carpal tunnel syndrome and arthritis. Only a low level of resistance is required to use a gyroscope. Therefore, it is believed that any potential for further pain and injury is kept to a minimum.

The gyroscope is multifunctional because there are many exercises that can be done with the device. Simply holding it while the gyroscope is in motion can be enough to generate results. One could raise and lower the arms with controlled movement while holding a gyroscope in the palm. Biceps and triceps curls, along with a wide variety of other upper and lower arm exercises, can also be performed while wearing this device.

Many consumers like the ease of use and relatively low cost of gyms. Some manufacturers suggest that one can improve muscle strength by using the product for just five minutes each day. While that claim has yet to be fully proven, the gyroscope exercise is an easy thing to take along and use anywhere one wants to go. Various online outlets sell different versions of this equipment. Those looking to add the gyroscope to their strength training routine can find helpful videos online for free that demonstrate many possible exercises.
