A fluid blend of ballet, Pilates, yoga and traditional weight training. But it feels different — the flowing movements, quiet music and gentle instruction make it exceptionally elegant and graceful. You'll begin with authentic “barrework” adapted for in-home use — classic ballet moves including arabesques, demi-pliés and relevés. That's followed by a varied series of toning routines including lunges and tricep French presses. You'll finish with a core-focused Pilates matwork medley. Bernadette Giorgi's cuing is superb — precise, thorough and quietly motivating. A 2 to 5 lb. weighted ball is optional. DVD has several premixed workout variations (24 to 68 minutes each). ©2007.
