Sara Essentrics Trainer at Corfu,Greece 2.77

What is essentrics?

1. A dynamic workout based on the theories of Miranda Esmonde-White that simultaneously lengthens and strengthens every muscle in the body, resulting in greater joint mobility and lean, long muscles.

2. A full-body technique that works through the muscle chains, liberating and empowering the muscles, relieving them from tension in the process.

3. A completely original workout that draws on the flowing movements of tai chi which create health and balance, the strengthening theories behind ballet which create long, lean, flexible muscles and the healing principles of physiotherapy which create a pain free body.

There are three basic types of muscles contractions and Essentrics is loosely based on the concept of eccentric muscle contractions.

Medical Definition: Eccentric training is defined as active contraction of a muscle occurring simultaneously with lengthening of the muscle.
