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.

Do you envy ballet dancers their long, lean bodies and
graceful, elegant movements? This beautifully produced exercise video was
developed by Peter Martins and the New York City Ballet with the New York Sports
Club. First you watch the rippling muscles of four gorgeous ballet dancers (two
men and two women) performing warm-up moves to classical ballet music. Martins
uses ballet terminology in his cuing and no technique is taught, so it's
look-and-follow if you have no previous ballet training. Next you get down on a
mat for slow lower-body stretches. A difficult abdominal series is next,
followed by "floor barre" exercises to tone the thighs and buttocks
while still using the abdominals. After introducing moves to strengthen the back
and upper body, Martins runs through a series of standing exercise segments
