The New York City Ballet Workout routine was developed by Peter Martins and the New York City Ballet along with the New York Sports Club.
If you envy the ballet dancer’s long, lean body and graceful, elegant movements, then this beautifully produced video is for you. First watch the rippling muscles of four gorgeous ballet dancers performing the warm-up moves to classical ballet music, while Martins narrates.
Then get down on a mat for slow lower-body stretches. A difficult abdominal series is next, followed by “floor barre” exercises to tone the thighs and buttocks while still using the abdominals, then moves to strengthen the back and upper body.
Next is a series of standing exercise segments using various ballet movements to strengthen the legs and postural/balance muscles.
If you love ballet (even just watching it), you’ll enjoy this workout
