I'm trying to get into shape because I've pretty much given hope on returning to ballet class anytime soon. I dug out this book from the stacks teetering around my bed and settled down for a good long workout. Its called
New York City Ballet Workout. I have to say that I loved it! It workes your butt, legs, and abs in a very low impact way. You focus on that Ballet core and holding your spine. It's pretty much a book of floor barre exercises, but I put weights on my ankles to intensify things a bit. Great for any ex-ballerina's looking for that same strech they used to get from class.
