Product Description
From Amazon.com
Peter Martins, Ballet Master in Chief of the New York City Ballet, and four graceful dancers--two men, two women--offer a beautifully produced, challenging, 90-minute strength and flexibility workout. The moving warm-up readies your muscles and makes you feel like a dancer. Most of the workout focuses on the abdominals and lower body (thighs, calves, buttocks), with exercises that ballet dancers use to strengthen and lengthen their muscles and condition their core. At the end, you learn patterns for a ballet routine which becomes a short cardiovascular workout. New York City Ballet Workout, Vol. 2 builds on what was best about the popular New York City Ballet Workout--the graceful moves and gorgeous dancers--and includes the much-needed instruction and technique that was missing in the original. If you love watching or dancing ballet, New York City Ballet Workout, Vol. 2 is your workout. Highly recommended. --Joan Price

What this video IS and IS NOT,
By A Customer
This review is from: N.Y.City Ballwt Workout V2 (DVD)
What it IS:This video is very good if you have generally performed traditional calisthetics. The ABs section is great and challenging. Its very effective at core strengthing. It's great for people with desk jobs who want to improve their posture - and for joggers who want increase range of motion in the hips, as well as strengthening the core. If you pay CLOSE attention to what the instruction is, you WILL feel a burn. These are not sloppy movements, nor quick. They are subtle, and easy to miss. The dancers go faster because they are experienced, but the beginner will have to take it slow to understand the correct position. Form is of utmost importance in this series and you have to carefully observe the movements to make sure your form is right. What it's NOT: This is not a typical exercise DVD nor a ballet instruction video. This is not for dancing, but for general fitness. This video is *not about* dance technique and will not turn you into a dancer. If you are someone who has owned a million aerobics tapes, this one is a very interesting change of pace. If you have never taken ballet, its a refreshing introduction to movement. The classical music and haughty voiceover may not suit the 'hip' areobics approach, but the movements are good and the video is comprehensive. A good deal.

By DarkAngel (USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: N.Y.City Ballwt Workout V2 (DVD)
I recently bought both DVDs for this series however they are both exactly the same, but with different dancers. you only need One of this series. I will however say that these videos have the best stretching excerises that I have ever done. and this dvd offers you the option of choosing how you want your work out to progress.

Great workout!,
By A Customer
This review is from: N.Y.City Ballwt Workout V2 (DVD)
I have had this DVD for months but I just now started doing the workout and I love it. It is very innovative as far as workout DVDs go. You can program your own sequence of exercises in whatever order you like. Although I have not yet mastered the ballet moves, I am confident with a little more practice I will be keeping up with the dancers on the dvd. The glossary of moves on the dvd also is very helpful in getting the form of each move down correctly. I also like the options of classical or modern music and although I am not ready for it yet, the option of no verbal words and just music will be so nice when I am a "pro" and don't need the verbal cues or instruction.
