Ryno Eramus :: Ryno is a personal fitness trainer from Stellenbosch near Cape Town in South Africa. Ryno began working as a personal trainer at the Sports Science gym at the Sport Science department at the University of Stellenbosch in 2003. In 2004 Ryno found a keen interest in flexibility while searching for methods to rehabilitate prior sports injuries.That was also the time when Ryno met lifelong friend and mentor Johan Kotze. Johan is a Stellenbosch based yogi that combines two styles of yoga, Asthangha and Hatha. With the knowledge Ryno gained from Johan Ryno also studied Pilates under Rene Watson. With the experience Ryno got from Yoga and Pilates, he created a home training system of calisthenetics that uses gravity and one's own body weight for that lean and ripped gymnast and dancer look.

A typical session with Ryno on the mat will start off with joint rotations to secrese synovial fluid to the ligaments and tendons to lubricate the joints. To warm up Ryno will have you do some sun salutations and movements in the body's natural planes to work up a sweat and get the heart-rate going. Resistance work against gravity consists of core stability and mobility to inhebit the stretch reflex. After that it is just a series of strong multi-jointed poses for dynamic stretching.

In his spare time Ryno enjoys recreational scuba diving, sport rock-climbing, skydiving, gymnastics and martial arts.
