Maybe just adding in some push-ups would help. That would be great upper body work.

I am curious what the on line streaming is like. I really wish they offered a free week trial or something
Hello. I like the streaming but to be honest if you have most of the dvds, you don't really need this. There are some exclusive content but not worth the monthly subscription price. They are mostly short workouts (10-30 mins). The only thing I use in the streaming is one exclusive content "Waist Toner" by Gail Garceau. It's a 30 mins standing routine and focuses on the mid section. I don't know but I just love this workout so much. I haven't bought the newer dvds that came out in the past year or so, but I haven't really done those in the streaming either, just previewed.

I think Class of 2012 and Full Body Toning are solid workouts. And if you have other dvds to supplement Essentrics, I think you're set!

I completely agree! I actually found the streaming tough because it kept shutting down and trying to find the workout again to reload on my phone was impossible. I really wish they would organize their site a little better to make it more user friendly - just my two cents.

I see the Essentrics workouts are on sale on their website if anyone is interested.

I personally love the streaming. I only have a few of the CS Seasons, so streaming makes more sense to me than purchasing more DVD's. I do Pilates, CS and cardio, mostly walking.

The streaming is glitchy for me. I am thinking I may drop it until they release another new workout.

Lately I have been adding weights to my walking. I will do arm exercises similar to the Firm's 4 limb aerobics. I thought my arms were getting looser just doing Essentrics and I didn't want to give up anything to train arms more often.
