New York City Ballet - The Complete Workout Vol.1 And 2 Details

My mother sent me this video on VHS from America. I have some physical limitations due to a car accident that was very bad when I was 19 and I have several pins and rods that limit my movement. This is one of the best exercise tapes I have ever used. It always takes it slow and easy, the conditioning is unbeatable and the exercises are all strengthening, toning, and graceful. Doing this tape will not only make you have the body of a star, but it will teach you grace and give you excellent posture. Just watching it is almost hypnotic and the classical musical selections are tasteful and suitable for the exercises, helping you to control your breathing and keep in time. The music is calming and soothing, so the exercises are not stressful. The actual director of the NYC Ballet narrates you through every exercise. The best thing about this tape is ANYone can use it, men and women, children, and 40's to 60's -with disabilities or limitations as well. Just follow what you can and rest when you need to. It has some male and female dancers showing you how to do the exercises and working along with you, each of them students with the NYC Ballet. A rare gem among workout videos. This should be a professional video-conducted class at everyone's local gym.

Strong workout-lovely music

This is a wonderful workout for those with some dance background, or just those who want a more graceful workout to classical music. Narrated by NYC Ballet Director Peter Martins in his lovely deep voice. This is not for the beginner, or those looking for a quick 20 minutes.

On the other hand it is thorough working every major muscle group. You can select different sections of the workout to make your own, shorter, version.
