 Ballet Boot Camp(Isis Video) 2000 What is it? An hour-long ballet-inspired workout that includes both toning and dance. Who is it for? Intermediate to advanced exercisers — this is not an easy workout! Knowledge of ballet terminology and positions is a plus, since the instructor doesn't explain them in plain English.
What to expect: The first time you go through this video you'll understand why ballet dancers have such fabulous bodies. They diligently work every muscle they've got, and this 63-minute video will have you doing the same. The workout is presented in the form of a dance class, and the dancers are even artistically arranged during the floorwork. There are pliés and relevés to give your legs both tone and grace, basic push ups to add strength to your arms (all the better to hold them in the air for long periods of time), and a ballet segment at the end that will have you flying gracefully around your living room (once you've learned the routine, that is). If you've ever taken ballet you will enjoy this video, as much of it has the ring of authenticity. If you're more gym and aerobic-dance oriented and have never done any of the other ballet tapes floating around, this workout will be a revelation. You may not sweat as much as you do in a normal cardio/ strength-training routine, but you will know you have worked hard! A big plus to this video is the soundtrack — it's all classical music, so it's a refreshing change from the usual aerobic dance noise. For those who love classic dance, this is a nice change from other, more athletic workouts. Other Exercise DVDs you may like:
