a delicate yet strong beauty, I 've been doing these excersises since I was 19, I am now 30 with a teenage shape lol Thnx Mary for these wonderful workouts
Hi! I know you commented this three years ago, but I was wondering how you do these workouts, as in did you sign up for the membership on the Ballet Beautiful website or where else can I find them? Thank you so much!! :)
I've been doing these for a few years several times a week (sometimes i stop but then bounce back. I'm not a ballerina). I nearly died the first time i did it, but now i am so glad i kept practicing as these workouts really changed the way i view my body.
When you think you're going to do youtube workouts instead of Ballet Beautiful, but nothing's as good as Ballet Beautiful! 😅I don't think anyone else combines relaxing and graceful with a difficult workout like this! I love it so much!
You are very graceful, and STRONG! I am a Krav Maga practitioner and one of my instructors said ballet produces some of the strongest people in the world. Congrats on your achievements 👏👏👏
Thank you :) I'm having a pretty hard time here in Austrian winter, not getting my chronic nerve pain (right arm and leg) under control. Meds make me too tired for a serious workout. I wish there was some sort of "medical" program which goes step by step, like the Lotte Berk Method,.Callanetics but with varying intensity / duration... I found these helpful in the 90s for my mild scoliosis and I think they all are based on ballet. The regular programs are too hard for me rn and I'm so afraid that I won't make it out of this. The pain is unbearable most days. I can't go very much higher with the opioid dosage. Please, please help...
If you have nerve damage I strongly suggest watching Dr. Alan Mandel videos - to release the muscle tension & find a natural herbal alternative to opiods..
New subscriber....this is very helpful...I always loved ballet and was always interested in the vital exercises that go into it...thank you ...I will always be tuning in...bless you !!!🧘♀️🧘♂️🤸♂️💃
Hi! The full workouts are available in our custom workout subscription. You can purchase the DVDs on amazon and the workouts can be downloaded on iTunes! 💞
And you can't die. That's rule number one. Imagine if someone threw a ballet dancer off a bridge? They'd drill a pathway right through the water with those legs.
so i had been doing exercises i remembered from my childhood ballet classes during quarentine; and i've been doing these same exercises, but instead of the sets you are giving, i'm doing 3 sets of 25! is that pushing too hard? do i have to tone it down?
With Helen’s advanced suggestion the reps is 48, you sound like you’re doing 75. As long as you listen to your body and don’t pull anything I would keep on doing your way. Doing more reps actually starts to burn fat, less reps just builds the muscle. Keep it up girl!
@@rosarianquant It is TREMENDOUSLY hard work. but I loved it. It takes years of training to make your movements fluid and beautiful, all while seeming to be effortless
@@heatherfeather1293 You say you were a (former) ballerina. I hope this is not too personal of a question but..what made you quit? Happy Valentine's Day, btw
@@rosarianquant Quite honestly, stupidity. I was about 16, had my first boyfriend, and wanted to do cheerleading as well as hang out with all my friends more than commit to dance. I wish I could go back and do that over again!
@@giginar I don't really want to bulk. I lift more to lose weight and still maintain some type of muscle tone. But, I will keep that in mind when I'm trying to design my workouts. Thanks!
@@giginar that's nonsense, I've trained athletes for over 30 years and we always do exercises like these in addition to weight training and flexibility work. It's all beneficial and none of it cancels out the other, the compliment each other.
@@blackhaze7350 please don't listen to that advice. I've trained pro athletes for decades and exercises like these, along with flexibility work are a perfect compliment to weight training. So well done, you.
I think you should always warm up, and move your muscles, because if you lie all day in your bed and suddenly decide to workout without warming up your body, you can injure muscles, joints and so on :) just my opinion though ❤️
