Strengthen, sculpt, and define your upper body with this creative, results-oriented workout DVD. The first half of this workout will intensely challenge your upper body and core on the mat with muscle-elongating techniques and strengthening sequences to maximize muscle fiber recruitment. This workout offers modifications as you build strength and advanced variations as you progress. After 25 minutes of mat work, grab a pair of dumbbells for a 20 minute nonstop, weighted arm workout that will have your arms and shoulders burning in no time. Because the weighted arm exercises in this DVD explore a wide range of motion, light dumbbells are advised. With the shoulder being the most unstable joint in the body, it is important to properly train and strengthen this joint with care. These dance-inspired, muscle-lengthening movements will safely sculpt sleek and defined arms. Improve your muscle definition, posture, and strength with this incredible upper body focused workout.
Challenge your core with Ballet Body’s dynamic, integrative training approach to help flatten the mid-section while building core strength. While cardio and diet are the essential components to reducing abdominal fat, properly training the core is the key element to achieving a flatter belly. As the abdominal muscles weaken with age, pregnancy, and a lack of exercise, the belly begins to protrude outward as a result. Ballet Body’s core workout will train the abdominals to act as a “corset” to tighten and flatten your belly, while strengthening the core at the same time. The Ballet Body® core workout emulates a non-surgical “tummy-tuck”. Leah has designed this workout to target your core from all angles. This complete core workout begins with standing abdominal exercises to challenge the core with balance, movement, and control. Then, work your core with variations in side planks and pilates-inspired abdominal exercises on the mat. Balance the ab-focused exercises with strengthening the muscles along the spine and back before flowing into deep stretching.
