Fitness Friday - Essentrics

As you know I am always looking for ways to ramp up/change up my workout routine and I definitely got the chance to do that when I discovered a new exercise class.

It’s called Essentrics. Never heard of it??? I hadn’t either until now!

Essentrics is described as a full body workout that rapidly changes the shape of your body through a dynamic combination of strengthening and stretching. The techniques develop lean, strong and flexible muscles with immediate changes to your posture. This program requires no equipment instead it uses flowing movements to increase circulation, reduce joint tension, and helps to prevent injuries.

Essentrics helps condition all your body muscles, creating toned and lean arms and legs, it helps to flatten the abs, define the waist and lift the buttocks. It helps to improve flexibility, loosen both joints and muscles and it also helps to elongate the spine.

Essentrics is something anyone can do. It’s a safe and effective workout. There’s no plyo "jumping" movements or intense cardio but this workout will definitely get your muscles burning! Trust me I have seen it first hand!

The class I took was almost an hour long and it literally focused on every muscle group from your toes to your fingertips. My arms and legs were on fire at the end of the 50 minute session and I was definitely dealing with some muscle soreness in the morning!

For curiosity sake I wore my heart rate monitor and was shocked that I burned 191 calories in 50 minutes!

I am excited to see how incorporating this Essentrics training into my workout regime will change or improve my body! From my first few session I can already see my flexibility and balance improving!

Here I am with my instructor Lauren!
