I sometimes go through a few weeks where I do just Essentrics and walk or other cardio, or just Pilates and cardio, and it’s fine for me for a while, but I always end up adding in more for arms and especially legs.
A lot of this depends on overall lifestyle, movement patterns outside of exercise time, and personal preferences. I don’t get as much lifting, carrying, running around, walking, or up and down movements as I used to in my daily life. But some people do and so don’t have to think about that as “exercise” and consciously include it.
If what you are doing is what feels best right now than I would honor that. It is all beneficial movement. If you feel you are losing muscle tone or want to work on other aspects of fitness, you can always add things back in.
