TBT is the workout that got me obsessed with essentrics. I do it about 3x week. I haven't noticed any results really, but I can't get enough of the workout

I like to pair the standing "power" chapter of Sahra's Barre with floorwork from Class of 2012 or Sahra's Legs/Core from Strength in Motion.

Sounds like a good combo--I'll have to try that!

Jackie - I am going to finish up the Jessica rotation I'm in - but I'm looking ahead to planning my own version of a CS/Es bootcamp using your comments above - do you do this 7 days/week - with no rest days?

I am in love with FBT and I love your idea of combining parts of other Ess to make another 60 min workout.

thanks!

I rarely take rest days unless I'm sick or on vacation. If I'm super stiff I do an episode like "stress" or "pain relief". I walk year round...even in the winter...and also ski.

I'm teaching 3X/week M/W/Sat so the opposite days I either try to learn a new routine, or do all standing CS episodes. Sunday I'll probably do a longer workout...I've been wanting to do Class of 2012 so maybe that will be my workout.

This fall it looks like I will be teaching every day except Friday. We're adding a Sunday afternoon lineup for the people who need a break from football (me ). I'm thinking it would be in my best interest to do a version of "Aging Backwards"....but call it "Release and Restore".

I love to combine a nice, balanced standing episode that includes arms with a split episode (standing and floor or barre). Sahra's Strength in Motion Standing paired with Abs/Core is fun, too.
