New York City Ballet Workout DVD

 Ballet Workout

Based on the highly successful and critically acclaimed book of the same title, this much anticipated video features extraordinary New York City Ballet dancers demonstrating this revolutionary fitness program that will help you begin to develop the grace and poise of a dancer.

Ballet can work magic on the mind and body as it imparts leanness and flexibility to muscles and limbs. Making this available on a broad basis to everyone was the goal when Peter Martins, New York City Ballet's Ballet Master in Chief, set out to create the New York City Ballet Workout.

The exercises combine stretching with strengthening and aim to improve body tone giving participants greater flexibility, cardiovascular stamina and better posture. In particular, it makes people think about how they use their bodies. Strength and flexibility is gained through the use of natural resistance with specific gains in the muscle tone of legs, hips and abdominals.

You will discover the rewards of your efforts in improved body tone, flexibility, calmness, and the satisfaction of learning to execute basic ballet technique with the appearance of ease.
