Time graph for Jennifer Kries' New Body Ballet

Three progressively more intense workouts, each features a flowing, elegant series of lower-body exercises. They’re designed to give you the sleek, strong, flexible physique of a ballerina. It’s a “real” dancers’ workout. The movements emphasize grace and proper form while the cuing is precise and ballet specific (e.g. “first position,” “arabesque,” “port de bras”). But it’s never intimidating; Jennifer’s cuing is easy to understand (e.g. “lift your arms like you’re pushing the ceiling away”). The first workout is beginner-level; it features basic moves and lots of instruction. The next two programs are begin/inter and intermediate; they use faster, deeper and longer variations. ©2008.

Jennifer Kries' New Body Ballet

So-So

I thought the workout was good. I enjoyed the movements and sequencing, though they were not particularly difficult. What I did not care for was that each section was exactly the same. I think if you have three workouts, each one should be different even while progressing in difficulty. - posted by Shelley on 8/8/2008

Short very ballet feeling workout

Loved the music and how it made me feel very much like a ballet dancer, but being it's so short I always do it after a different workout as a way to get some ballet in and have fun. Would love to see a longer workout just like this one. The pink and black attire really adds to the traditional ballet class feeling. - posted by Sue on 5/16/2008

Not as good as expected

I was a little disappointed. There are three workouts, all standing and doing mostly leg lifting. There were not nearly enough of a workout. It is a workout that makes you feel graceful and does work on a lot of balance moves. - posted by Pam on 3/18/2008

Reading a Time Graph

Each workout shows a time graph of the workout sequence, from beginning to end. For example, this workout starts with a 10-minute warm-up and ends with a 10-minute stretch. In between, you'll do aerobics, then toning, then a cooldown.

Segments that include both aerobics & toning
Some workouts combine aerobics and toning. If the aerobics and toning are done at the same time, you'll see a "blended" graph. If the aerobics and toning are done in short, alternating intervals, you'll see an "interval" graph.
