ESSENTRICS® is also known as Classical Stretch, the #1 fitness show on PBS. 

The full body, 3-dimensional dynamic stretching workout safely shapes and

rebalances the body - from muscles to bones and joints. This method of

stretching-in-motion rapidly creates a long, lean and strong physique with

immediate changes to posture. Simple circular movements in the workout

condition our joints, while pacing and sequencing build and strengthen

connections between the body and the brain. 

​

Dynamic vs. Static Stretch: Instead of holding poses, ESSENTRICS® stretches while staying in motion. This contrasts with typical concentric technique such as lifting weights, which shortens muscles and stiffens joints. ESSENTRICS stretches and tones at the same time, balancing strength and flexibility. This technique conditions our muscles and lubricates our joints. In addition, the movements embody neuromuscular techniques that improve coordination as well as muscle control. 

 

Safe, Easy, Effective:  We are only as strong as our weakest muscles, therefore it is imperative to work and balance all 650 muscles in the body. Refined from ballet, tai chi and physiotherapy, ESSENTRICS movements are simple, easy to follow yet deliver immediate results. Using a diverse music playlist to guide movements, this equipment-free workout leaves you calm yet energized, connected and healthy.
