NYC Ballet Workout
Posted on March 15, 2007 | Filed Under Rants and Raves
In light of my recent shin splints, which thankfully have pretty much healed. I’ve been doing a variety of cross-training things that I haven’t done in years, including workout videos like Tae Bo, The Firm, etc. Feeling bored, I ordered the NYC Ballet Workout 2
from Blockbuster online so I could add some variety to my workouts. Besides, what girl hasn’t wanted to be a ballerina at one point? I admit I had my dreams *sniff*; before some mean teen boys informed me that not only did I not have the body to be a ballerina, but that I was as clumsy as an ox.
Anyway moving on, I did the workout yesterday and it was good, a bit slow in parts. The floor exercises are similar to Pilates, in that it is slow controlled movements. The nice thing about it is that it’s toning without weights, which helps avoid adding bulk to your legs; something I have a major problem with. I did actually feel my abs, as well as my legs, burning at a few points in the workout (always a good sign). I think if you did it faithfully (in conjunction with some sort of cardio) it would tone your body as well as increase your flexibility and posture. Just thought I’d share my findings with you all out there in case you’re looking for something new to do for exercise.
Have fun, and remember point those toes!

…but you “had what it takes”, right? So you didn’t pay any attention to what they told you.
Heh, that’s cool. Actually I was looking no Amazon.com for new workout videos a couple of weeks ago and I saw that one and I marked it for “When I get Rich and Famous”.
You can borrow it whenever, Fruity. And Mike, no I didn’t have what it takes, *sniff* I gave up my dream. hee hee
