New York City Ballet: The Complete Workout, Vol. 1 and 2

this is good wkout for young. I can still do it but. But I Think you have to KNOW About more advanceD for PROFESSIONAL. I am retired PROFESSIO0NAL now.so So i think be CARFUL carful care full

I bought this video to learn a little bit more about ballet and the techniques involved and I've been pleasantly surprised at the results already experienced (in just 3 weeks). In the past I have not been able to do a lot of stomach exercises because I had a C-section and my stomach muscles are very weak. But with their instruction on how to have good posture, standing or lieing down I have not injured myself and my abs are now slimmer. And my posture is much better and it's a natural posture not forced. I love the classical music with it and it is challenging enough to not be boring after a while. The only reason I did not give this 5 stars is because the intervals between the exercises are a little unneccesarily long. I have not even started on the second DVD so I feel that this is an excellent value for the price!

I love this video. I have Chronic Fatigue Syndrome; so, I have to be very careful in the videos I choose to workout to each day. This DVD helps me tone my body, but does not strain my heart (which can result in a blackout). Another plus, for me, is that the video is beautifully put together. I find that on a stressful day the music is peaceful. I have seen results and enjoy the workout.

I found this to be a good floor barre and stretch video to use between classes but didn't find much new dance content to learn from. Good way to stay fit and practice the basics between classes.

I thought my only option for exercising at home was yet another dvd with yelling instructors jumping up and down to synthesizer music. This is a lovely alternative, featuring ballet dancers and amazing classical music. Cueing is not perfect, but after a couple of tries you can easily follow along. Wonderful!
