New York City Ballet: The Complete Workout, Vol. 1 and 2
|
| ||||||||||||
 NYC Ballet Workouts 1 & 2 I really enjoyed the workouts. It is not so much an aerobic workout though. The stretches are great. It is like taking a ballet class but you do not use a bar. The 2nd Workout was a little more aerobic b/c you did a routine at the end. It is not like taking a real ballet class b/c a real class is more aerobic but the stretches and positions are very similar to taking ballet.  Greatest Workout I've Ever Had This workout video is the greatest I have ever used! Whether you haven't had a good workout in 10 years, or whether you are a toned athlete, this workout provides a fun challenge with attainable goals. The better toned and flexible you become, the closer your form matches the dancers, the more your muscles are worked and the better your body gets. There seems to be no limit to improvement and the video offers enough variety to keep you engaged for long stretches at a time.  Hmmm - not for me I read the other reviews and yes, it is a lovely DVD, lots of pretty people and soothing voice over. And yes, if you're a professional dancer then this may be a great DVD for you...however, if you're not and you're looking for a nice workout with ballet focus then this may not be for you. I studied ballet for years and even have a barre in my home, so I'm always looking for a workout that lets me utilize this type of workout. I found this DVD to be a little too slow, too "arty" and too advanced for most. If you're just starting out or are just looking for something to add to another workout program then I'd recommend avoiding this DVD and going for a more integrated workout like pilates or callenetics. Not for busy persons Great DVDs but only for holiday, no way you can do the programs during the week (if you have a full-time job or school). Is too slow, but I give it 5 stars because it is thorough and indeed complete. | |||||||||||||
