Essentrics is amazing. Its #1 goal is to rebalance the body...hitting all muscles, bones and fascia. So many other benefits. It's dynamic stretching that combines stretch and strength simultaneously. Strengthening in a lengthened position. Lots of circular movement in Essentrics because our body is meant to move that way with our ball and socket joints and amazing flexible spine. The movements not only stretch, strengthen, and tone....but also improve circulation, stretch and straighten fascia, and the pulling away from the body alleviates pain by decompressing joints. Results? Well, depends on what you're wanting for results. I want to feel good in my body and be able to do what I want in life with ease and a big range of motion. I want to feel comfortable in my skin and in my clothing. A big thing with me is my workouts need to enhance my life and not wear me down. The workouts I did 10 years ago I can't do anymore....not without a lot of pain and seeing my chiro, MT, ibuprofen and a heating pad. There's no point to that kind of workout. Ok....and so visible results. I have had 4 babies, am almost 51, and this is the slimmest I've been since having children. No perfect body here....but I feel good and I don't think I've lost anything in terms of fitness...endurance, physique, whatever. Right now I'm teaching 3 Essentrics classes/week and do a few extras here and there. I walk, ski, enjoy Ellen Barrett and take an occasional yoga class. I feel good. jackiebadgeressentrics.simplesite.com

I am thinking of getting the 8 dvd bundle. I love the idea of stretching the muscle and fascia along with toning. It comes out to $19 a dvd with free shipping.
