CS/Essentrics is the base of my workouts.
Since it is summertime now, I do CS/Essentrics 5 days a week when I get up in the morning for about 30 minutes. I get in more walking in the summer. When the time changes, I will go back to 7 days a week of CS. I walk 4 days a week during lunch and I also do boot camp classes 2x a week. I make sure I have a stretchy workout the following morning after boot camp. My boot camp class will be on hiatus in August so I will be doing an hour of CS/Essentrics in the evening. August is too hot and humid to go out. Doing CS/Essentrics in place of boot camp keeps me on track and I don't miss a beat when boot camp classes resume. CS/Essentrics works for me!!! |

It seems more like a (sneaky) strength than cardio workout to me so I never use it in place of cardio. I use them for a light strength day, which is more and more as I get older. I also like to combine them with yoga to make a full one hour workout. I feel very stretched out and energized afterwards. Not beat up like I would with dumbbells.

I teach 3-4 classes/week. The days that I don't teach, I do light stuff....pain relief, etc. I'm trying to cross train b/c with everything you can overtrain and develop injuries. So I'll maybe warm up with Ess and right now I'm doing the Barre3 freebies or some Ellen Barrett. I do like to get in light weights.

I don't do it nearly as often as I would like but sometimes I'll do it at the end of a workout. I've also done an episode or two on a rest day. CS is great for a week you want to recover but keep moving. I will up the CS episodes when I'm dealing with an issue tough and just extend my workout time.
