Certified instructor description:
A graceful, dancers' workout that starts with all-standing ballet exercises and ends with Pilates matwork. It's a varied and balanced combination that increases core strength as it firms your entire body. The first segment features a medley of traditional ballet exercises like pliés, relevés and cursey lunges (sometimes modified to incorporate upper-body resistance band routines). Then it's down on the floor for a mix of two Pilates styles: classic Pilates and Pilates intensified with a weighted ball. Calm, detailed cuing by Bernadette Giorgi. Quiet instrumental music. Requires a resistance band; a 1 to 5 lb. weighted ball is optional. Has a 14-minute ballet and Pilates tutorial. ©2008.
