I find it funny that Sahra and Sasha's workout were in the 40's category...those are more challenging workouts IMHO. Very upper body intensive and Sahra's calf sequence was a killer, for sure.
Then Maude's workout for 20's was a pretty light, less challenging workout, for 20's. I certainly don't do the same workouts I did in my 20's and 30's....and I am 53 now. I still don't like to be put in a box according to my age. I like to pick and choose what is appropriate for my body depending on the day, etc.

I agree that there are many workouts in did in my 20's that I cannot do now. I mostly ran in my 20's and well, with knee replacement, that's totally not happening. But on the same token, there are some I could do. I do what I like to do and what I think feels good for me no matter the hype, theories, recommendations, or professional opinions (which are all over the place). I do what gets me up and moving every day and that I enjoy. I think the suggestion of the design by focus would have been a good way to avoid the ageism of the levels.
But this is why I am doing my own hybrid method. I follow the schedules but pick the workout of that day between all the options that I think I would enjoy and works for me.

Essentrics workouts, even the toning based ones, are not what I would call intense. I think that’s one of the main points of Essentrics philosophy....you don’t need crazy intense workouts to be fit & healthy.

Same! Too many longer toning ones back to back from my rickety old body. And I usually do a CS or Ess every day (but mostly just the more stretchy ones). I went rogue today and skipped ahead to Gail's Joint Release one. I did Cathe Live earlier today, so I just couldn't do any more plies!

Years ago in a Prevention magazine article Dara Torres, Olympic swimmer at 41, spoke about her training regime. She qualified for the team but her recovery routine from intense workouts were different from the much younger swimmers. I took her words to heart. I can workout and keep up but my recovery takes longer. I have to be careful and avoid injuries. An injury now can knock me off for days and if serious weeks.
At this stage of the game some stuff, I don't want to do anymore truthfully. I loved step aerobics but now "meh". I loved high impact but now I could hurt myself and it doesn't appeal to me anymore. I enjoy Essentrics and see and like the results. I pick and choose what I feel I like doing. I want to maintain a strong, healthy and mobile body so daily exercise is what I do. I am grateful that I can move and do what I want physically. |

Thanks for this thread. I couldn’t pass up a new workout with Sahra so I just resubscribed. It was delightful. Even though I’m 50, the rotation for the 40s is more my speed. I’m looking forward to trying the other new workouts.
I thought the production quality was stunning. Such a beautiful workout and Sahra was a joy as always.
