We Tried 5 Weeks of Ballet Fitness (Cardio Barre) • The Test Friends 

I love how Ryan always hates these things and groans all the way through them but usually gets the best results. Also Shane's enthusiasm is so cute.

"Exercise just maintains you. Uncomfortable resistance will change you. So take yourself a little further." -NEW MOTTO

*dancers laughing in the distance* This is a warm up.

I am trying to lose weight. instead of working out. I just watch videos of other people working out.

"Good job Shane" "Nice Ryan" "Good Daysha" "Beautiful Maycie" "Straighten your right leg Jen" "Your other right leg" "Someone keep an eye on her for me" Poor Jen

"my butt has gotten exponentially bigger" ahh the benefits of being a dancer

LOL STARTING AT 4:10 "Good job shane" "Nice Ryan" "Good Daysha" "Beautiful Maycie" "Straighten your leg Jen... Other leg Jen" xD

Instructor: "Did you guys bring towels and water?" Ryan: "We're completely unprepared😐" Instructor: "Let's do it!"

People: Ballet is easy Me: *glances at my bleeding feet/toes* Me: okay,,, you sure,,,

I like the test friends and all but I miss the try guys..

Please have them try doing swimming! No one who isn't a swimmer appreciates how hard it really is because Olympic swimmers make it look so easy. The hours and hours of practicing. I would love to see them try it.

I could do it better *angrily eats chips*

As an actual ballet dancer, I'm not sure whether to be a) disappointed that there was no ballet or b) a little jealous of that one guy's feet

Nobody's talking abt ryan's arms? ok...

"LIFT THOSE HEELS LIKE YOU'VE GOT SIX INCH STILETTOS ON!" "I've never worn stilettos!?"

" it's like ballet, except it's actually difficult." Yeah, I agree. All we dancers have to do is have perfect control over every muscle in our bodies, hold three times our weight on our toes, be able to fold in half, and to hold our legs up to our ears, be impossibly flexible, have endurance beyond a football player, be able to jump 5 feet into the air, be able to turn endlessly, all while in pain, yet making it look easy and floaty. And ALWAY SMILE. so yeah. TOTALLY easy.

Ok I actually saw a HUGE improvement in Daysha's body afterwards, she looked BOMB AF!! Also everyone's mentioning it already but I feel bad that Maycie was sucking her stomach in so hard, I think it's normal to have a bit of a tummy, I find that even the skinniest girls out there can have belly fat too if they don't exercise, I don't think anyone would care much if she's got a big belly or not tbh.

daysha didn't just lose weight she lost some real fat and it really shows

aw poor Jen GAINED weight

as a ballet dancer this is very entertaining to watch OH GOD THEIR PLIES

do the test freinds do ballet! like, real ballet. thier plies made me retch.

"Lift those hips like you've got on 6 inch stilettos" "I've never worn stilettos!" Me: Not yet... but we ALL know it's coming buzzfeed

That looks so hard... but so fun at the same time!!!

Jen is me tried working out and gained a pound

Shane’s love of barre is my favorite thing.

they also should remember that muscle weighs more than fat, and that things like cardio barre put on muscle WHILST burning fat. I love love love how much Shane enjoyed it.

The fact that Jen gained weight after this is hilarious to me lol

They should try a month of Capoeira! That would be so interesting!!

"stop looking like you're an alien that just landed on earth dude!"

Another day at the Barre. (Ballet joke)

When Shane and Ryan flexed I was like “JESUS!”

1) So basically this is just the warm up with no dancing :-( 2) The movements should be slower and deeper. 3) Shane looked beautiful (but he has that ballet build already)

oh we do this stuff in ice skating. they should do the fitness gram paccer test

Daysha is honestly so beautiful. Absolutely one of my favorites and I love her body positivity that's helped me be more comfortable with my body. Love you Daysha!!!!!! ❤️

XD "Stop looking like your an alien that just landed on Earth."

"this is the kinda stuff they make us do" typical shane 😂

I secretly want to try this!!!

test friends // try guys , I ain't even complaining

Putting out their weight and body image out to the whole world to see is so cool! These people are just so free! Gah! I love Buzzfeed!

Shane saying "wow" and Ryan laughing gives me life. I loooove Ryans giggles.

I legit weighed more then Jen when I was 10

I like Daysha's attitude. You go, girl!

as a dancer I wish ballet was this easy

I'm a ballet dancer and when I hear them say like a pliè is hard I just laugh 😂 they don't know what hard is

As a ballet dancer this kind of made me die inside a little.

Ever scince I started ballet I love classical music. It's my jam

I was watching this laying down on my bed eating chips

"Ya know what... YA DONE." Y'all Daysha is my spirit animal.

Lol, Daysha at 2:04 "Ya know what? Ya done."😂😂😂 I can't stop laughing, it gets me everytime😂😂😂

Jen and Shane are my favorites!

4:27 - lmao Daysha was checking herself out.

As a ballet dancer, I laughed at their struggles while cringing at all of the non- pointed toes 😂

do or do not... There is no try.... diet plays a huge role too...

laughing cos my ballet classes twice a week are harder than this

Can all of the ballet dancers please stop being so pretentious and entitled in the comments? I mean I have mad respect for ballet dancers and most people do, like damn I used to do it and now I do pole dancing and it is very hard and all, but these people weren't /doing/ ballet, they were doing ballet based cardio, of course they aren't going to be doing the same kind of things as you, the point of this was to take 'average' people and see how they liked that kind of exercise so of course they're not gonna be going at it full throttle unless they wanted to be physically injured and I'm sure for most of the people in the comments saying these things they didn't start ballet en pointe doing ridiculously hard things, if you can do so, congratulations, but that wasn't the point of this video.

After doing ballet for ten years, I can tell you this has absolutely nothing to do with ballet. I guess it just sounds interesting to say it's ''ballet based' because there is a barre

I don't know why but Jen annoys me a little. She never actually commits herself. IN the vegan one, she ate cream cheese one the first day and in this one she did 3/9 classes. I understand that she is busy and all, but this is her job and it really helps us out if we see others actually committing.

YASSS my two favorite things: Ballet and Buzzfeed

I used to be heavy into competitive swimming, swim training 6 days a week with my team two to three hours a day, and doing only an hour of swimming with my father at a local gym pool on Sundays. Also plenty of weight lifting and cardio after for 5 days a week. I look back not believing I did that while still being the tall chubby guy with a natural tan and bright hair. I look forward to getting back into it up north here when summer starts and I haven't swam in a year. I'd really like to see you all try a swim based training, even Olympic based swim training. You guys should give water fitness a chance it very fulfilling for your whole body. Buzzfeed I dare you to TRY

When you're a ballerina and you see something ballet inspired

gawd maycie can you breathe @ :58

Daysha's reaction is what you want in a workout routine.

Motivation expectation: Daysha Reality: Jen

As a former ballet dancer, I'm loving this, cause every single one of them has strengthened their back in the end result. And that, my friends, is a keeper. :-)

I love that Shane has a "Barre Beautiful" shirt

If only I had friends who would encourage me to go to sports regularly

Did anyone noticed jen gained a pound 😂

"straighten your right leg Jen. your other right leg Jen." 😂😂😂 my gosh

lol at the beggining maycie was pulling in her stomach so much 😂😂

1:27 Is me before an exam Students: Were completely unprepared Teacher: Let’s start the test

How is Jen 102 lbs?! :o jeez i''m 17 and i'm 120 lbs! *not insulting Jen*

Aw, Daysha just looks so adorable!

That girl pushes her stomach inside. lol

Welcome to the lovely world of ballet conditioning

think of this but actual ballet...sooo this but hard while your feet are bleeding from your pointe shoes...thats the reality of being a dancer

i cant believe she said its like dancing but this is actually hard

All the dancers in the comments are so pretentious. They're not taking a dance class. They taking an exercise class. They're not trying to be amazing dancers, they're trying to get fit. Of course this isn't going to be as rigorous as an advanced level dance class. It's an EXERCISE class for people who aren't dancers. It's based around the concept of barre warmups, but it's not for preparing to dance, it's just for fitness.

Daysha is a goddess among mortals

Daysha is honestly one of the prettiest girls at Buzzfeed, I love her and I love her hair!

Ryan: We are totally unprepared Instructor: Let's get started then!

Daysha and Ryan's relationship gives me life

that black girl works it like WORK IT GURL work that bra

I am a ballet dancer and watching this makes me super happy

As a ballet dancer I found this hilarious. Also I think the test friends should try to be a point dancer for a month.

Lol Jen: " I'm going to make up for it in the next week" goes 1 more time lol

Instructor: "It's like dancing, but it's actually really difficult." Ummmm....... did you just say that dancing isn't difficult, or am I mistaken?¿🤔😶😒

*sees Jen* ^-^ *clicks on video*

I love the comparison shots at the end when you can see almost everyone gained some more color because of how much their circulatory systems improved with the workouts. They should have taken before/after resting pulse and BPs too! Cardiovascular health is super easy to improve and seeing the difference might have given them more encouragement than only looking at the outside of their bodies and comparing weight (which didn't take into account muscles gain versus fat loss and water retention + bone mass the way most BMI scales would).

Jen is my favorite!!! She's so pretty

"I'm just here because this is the stuff they make us do..." My whole outlook on school honestly lol....

Is no one talking about how amazing Daysha's butt looked?? I'm proud of her for sticking so well to her commitment!

2:15 "look at this leeeeg" ....same girl same

So she got upset but at the same time wasn't willing to go to the classes

I hate everyone except daysha because she was the only one who did the right amount of classes

As a ballet dancer i found this really amusing XD

Shane and Ryan know each other so well ~~ loving their friendship

shane is one of my top 3 favorite buzzfeed people. might even be tied for first with colin.

"I've been trying my darnedest!" 😂😂😂😂😂😂

They should go to a REAL ballet class!! It is hard!

Dayshas laugh is so nice. Every time I hear her laugh I have to laugh too this is awesome😊
