There are multiple benefits of doing a ballerina’s workout by taking Ballet Body Barre, but there are two major ones that are not found in any other workout.
(1) In Ballet Barre, which is done standing up, you are not only lengthening your spine by “standing up straight,” but you are LIFTING your spine by using abs and back muscles to separate your torso from your legs or as every dance teacher says: “pulling up”. This gives you a healthy and lengthened spine which counteracts the constant downward pull of cell phones and computers and also provides a constant strengthening of your core and a healthy and gorgeous posture.
(2) Ballet Barre is the only workout in the world which is done with the legs turned outward in the hip sockets. Most workouts are done with legs parallel. Because ballet is done with legs turned out from the hips, it uses all the muscles of the legs including inner thighs and the backs of the legs. Most workouts which are done with legs parallel over emphasize the quads causing bulking in the thighs muscles. Ballerina legs using all of the leg muscles are gorgeous, sculpted legs: the most beautiful legs on the planet.In summary, the total result of these two benefits is a beautiful body with a healthy alignment of muscles that are lengthened, toned, strong and with no bulk!
A plus is elegant, gorgeous posture from the endless lifting and lengthening of the spine. The result is the most beautiful bodies on the planet from a workout that is intelligent, fun, and done to beautiful classical music. Anyone of any age can do it. YOU DO NOT HAVE TO HAVE ANY PREVIOUS BALLET TRAINING! Even if you don’t have the “body type” of a ballerina, you will create your BEST BODY by doing the barre workout of a ballerina: Ballet Body Barre!
Additional Benefits of Ballet Body Barre:
Classical music. The workout is done to classical or jazz music which can be both soothing and stimulating.
There is zero danger of injuries doing this workout. Between the warm-up stretches and the barre which begins very slowly, it carefully and gradually warms the muscles. This is why dancers would never go on stage without doing a full ballet barre.
It is really FUN to do a dancer’s warm-up and to know that you are doing the exact same warm-up practiced by beautiful ballerinas and strong male dancers for centuries! You CAN HAVE the body of a ballet dancer!!
The workout is BEAUTIFUL. Because you are doing the same movements as a ballet dancer you begin to achieve the grace and elegance of a ballet dancer!
