Summary: Loving how it makes me feel
Comment: As a dance teacher I'm always looking for new ways to keep my kids in shape while also keeping myself in tip top shape. This video does the trick for sure! I got halfway into the exercises and my thighs were screaming at me. It does go a little fast for those that aren't already ballet trained but the way the narrator leads you through each exercise is nice. I highly recommend this dvd for anyone who wants to change up their routine.

Summary: Best Ballet Workout on DVD
Comment: This is hands down the BEST ballet DVD I've ever tried. I've never taken a single ballet class in my life, so it was perfect for my status as a beginner. The next day I could really feel all of the muscles that I'd worked. When I started the DVD I didn't think I'd end up getting much of a work out/calorie burn, but within 10 minutes I was sweating. The great part is, you don't have to do the moves extremely fast or learn tricky combinations. I STRONGLY reccommend this DVD for persons of any age who have ever wanted to try ballet, and for those who are looking for a very unique workout.

Summary: You need a chair & an hour & the desire to be longer & leaner. Why isn't every woman doing this?!
Comment: Way more difficult than I thought it would be. Definately works the whole body! Pro dancers don't just love dance, they WORK HARD for it. With these exercises, you build strength & length in the muscles by focusing on balance, control & positioning. I would recommend this to almost any woman. You must remember to go at your own pace. You WILL NOT be able to lift as high as the instructor at first, but don't over do because you will improve & see results FAST! There are no alternate movements demonstrated, don't worry, you don't need them, just only stretch or lift as much as you can. In my opinion, as you progress through this with practice, you will appreciate the pace of transitioning from exercise to exercise & be better able to maintain your focus without interruption. It also does not allow you to work in modified positions forever making excuses for yourself not to try harder. I absolutely want to work up to the level of flexibility & control she has. I feel great after doing this routine. Revitilized, refreshed, lengthened, & with much MORE energy. The price is a great value, so worth it. Buy it. You won't regret it. If you try this & love it like I do, you should also try , Callanetics 10 Years Younger in 10 Hours - Amazon.com Exclusive. Works as advertised, is ballet inspired & also focuses on control & positioning. I love the tiny extremely effective movements of Callanetics. Both of these videos do not terrorize your back & joints but really, let me stress really, work the hard to fix lower body. Both make doing lunges & 500 crunches seem unworthy of my time. This is a terrific way to spend an hour on yourself releasing stress at the end of the day or revving up in the morning. People will notice you are making changes. Don't bulk up, strengthen & lengthen. Good Luck!!! :)

Summary: I LOVED this video! I got a great lower body & abs workout!
Comment: This was a great workout video. You don't need to have previous knowledge of ballet to do this video. You get a very good workout, and after doing this video, I felt it in my muscles! I'm not a hard-core exerciser and am still working on getting in shape, and have many different exercise videos. With some of the exercise videos that I own, after exercising with the video, I don't feel like I've done much. Not so with this video. There is a heavy emphasis on the lower body; most of the ballet workout concentrates on the legs and buns. The abs part of the workout is more like pilates; gentle, but challenging . There is also a portion of the video where you do ballet jumps to get the cardio going. The workout is challenging enough for more advanced exercisers, but also can be used by beginners. I know this is one exercise video that I'll be using over and over!
