Summary
This professionally produced video was developed by Peter Martins and the New York City Ballet. Follow along with four talented ballet dancers performing warm-up moves to classical ballet music. Martins uses ballet terminology in his cuing and no technique is taught, so it's look-and-follow if you have no previous ballet training. Next you get down on a mat for slow lower-body stretches. After introducing moves to strengthen the back and upper body, Martins runs through a series of standing exercise segments using various ballet movements to strengthen the legs and postural muscles.
The workout is divided into 17 short sections. At the end is a bonus sequence with profiles of the four performers, all dancers with the New York City Ballet. You get to watch them performing and practicing. If you love ballet, you'll enjoy this workout.
