The Workout plan: Using a light medicine ball (2 to 6lbs.) you can do a total body workout with standing core, throws, tosses, and bounces. Complete 8 to 12 reps of each exercise before moving on to the next one. Increase the number of repetitions or total sets to increase the difficulty.

‎The Ballet Workout App is a leading dance app for adults who want to learn ballet, get fit, improve their posture and become more flexible. Used by thousands ballet lovers all over the world from total beginners to advanced levels from 16-70 years old. More than 100 exercises are guided by a ballet. Here’s a workout that lets you condition your body just like a professional dancer. Watch this video to get a behind-the-scenes look at how ballerinas from American Ballet Theater strengthen and.

What I find from other ballet inspired workouts is that they’re usually just more yoga or pilates with some plies thrown in, where as this is just like strolling in to a beginning ballet class. So, if that’s what you’re looking for then I think you’ll like this. The Ballet Workout will help you condition, shape and tone your body.

Melissa will not only help you create the body you have always wanted, but will also help you gain an overall sense of well being. The workout has been divided into two levels. Level 1 is designed for those with little or not ballet experience. Barre fitness is a hybrid workout class combining ballet-inspired moves with elements of Pilates, dance, yoga and strength training.

Most classes incorporate a ballet.

If the thirty-minute workout has you a little nervous, maybe start with this fifteen-minute ballet exercise routine. It comes up first on Google, and that’s for a reason.

Your instructor for this video is a former ballerina. This video also requires no equipment. If you’ve taken ballet in the past-or if you’ve always wanted to-pull on your tights and leg warmers and enjoy this video. Melissa Lowe, a former soloist and principal dancer with several ballet companies, leads two levels of workout. Level 1 is for those with little or no ballet training; ballet experience is helpful for level 2.

As the this one is called “Ballet Workout,” and the second is apparently the “NEW Ballet Workout,” you can see the confusion. The exercises themselves are the sort of thing I was looking for, but as other reviewers have said, it is a bit dated and faded. Choose carefully.

  • As a young girl, I took ballet for 12 years and loved it! Gonna try this now. I’m 55 so it won’t be easy, but I’m gonna go for it.

  • Hi! I love your content. This was a great video. I am starting up my channel and was wondering, what microphone are you using? I have an external recorder but it’s a bit complicated to have on during the time i teach. I need something more light. Thanks in advanced. Great class!

  • I tried this. Surprisingly I was able to do the whole and at the second time I did the advanced one already. I don’t lie: I got rid of so much cellulite! I even fit into one dress which was too tight around my thighs and now it’s just perfect. I was thinking about getting a gym membership but maybe I will also try to do ballet. I also changed my diet to a lot of healthy food and started to drink a lot of water. Also potassium supplements help.
    I’m certainly going to buy the workouts on the website.

  • For this 43 day of confinement it is the best physical activity I can do. Going back to my ballet days of childhood rebirths my body and spirit.

  • Hello, I noticed that a few people have asked what music this is. Though most of the comments are old hopefully this is still helpful. There may be a few misspellings here; also there may be some variation in movement number as it depends on the recording, but this is it. The classical intro is Beethoven Symphony #7. The pieces that I didn’t know off-hand I used an app called Sound Hound to find; it’s free and really good at listening to and finding classical pieces.

  • Amazing video! Thank you very much! Now I know how to sweat with style:)
    One suggestion: as a beginner, I had a bit of a hard time following all the moves especially those involving both arms and legs from side to side, it would be great if you found time for a video to teach these! Keep the good work and thank you for you awesomeness!

  • Oh my god I finally found my favorite workout best music, best outfit without showing their body so simple main goal is workout no Hollywood American pretentious workout

  • If I was to do this 4-5 times a week, how long would it take to see results? I’m already quite slim and I’d love to have a lean body like a ballet dancer. My biggest fear is that I would be wasting time:( Thanks for uploading!

  • Soon it’s gonna be fall season and I won’t die in sweat. Actually it’s weird looking at the asian guy like looking at myself or May be cause I’m months in quarantine…

  • Oh that’s amazing! I will do join later. Perfect especially now ballet school is closed and I miss ballet class…for adults…thank you for sharing ��stay safe every1 �� �� greetings from Germany

  • I just found you by “accident” Andddd im going to Subcribe! <3 Thank you for this short workout I will practise it! And thanks for great idea to do it during morning routine!

  • I used to be very fit but due to illnesses and busy life I can’t seem to get my “fitness” back. I love ballet, it’s good for my strength and posture. I love these workouts so far. Makes me feel not so “lazy”!

  • I figure the best way to train for the long jump would be ballet exercises. But, I find it hard to believe that plies alone give dancers that remarkable height in their leaps. Although, I can see how plies can give a dancer those great “frog” legs shape. In addition to plies, do ballet dancers also do a lot of actual leaping which would be more of a plyometric exercise?
    When ballet dancers do leap, do they take off on one foot or two? Or, does it depend on the moment of the scene?
    It would be nice if “you” sold a workbook for these two videos. Now, I’ll have to create my own outline with a brief explanation of how to do the exercises.

  • I have pretty developed calves but they get tight and so do my ankles from running and boxing. did 2 mins. started to feel it. when she said we would be doing the same exercise for 5 mins, i stopped. I’ll see how i feel tomorrow. this is definitely a workout to ease into if you don’t do this kind of exercise all the time…

  • Well balanced. Perfectly Executed.Professionally gave instruction. My first and preferred exercises, after year I discover NYC Ballet..workout.Big Thanks to all staff

  • I’m going to try this while I can’t go to my ballet classes:)

  • please tell me i’m not the only one who can do everything in this EXCEPT for the one leg exercises… i can’t even get through two sets of the one leg ones without cramping up��

  • did this two days ago. Yesterday I was only sore but today I just can’t walk! This hurts so much, can’t wait to recover to try it again and strength my calves

  • It is a great video indeed. But one commercial in the beginning would do the job. Every five minute comes a commercial break. PLS remove those ads!

  • why did you turn on the fucking adds?!
    it ruins the whole goddamn lesson if theres a fucking voice every 10 minutes
    it disturbs the whole sense!

  • Hi there! I just found your channel and can’t believe how many awesome videos you have created! I am a dancer and these videos are really helpful:) I was just wondering if you could make a video on how to open up your hips and glutes etc as I struggle with this…. Thank you xx

  • I like doing this workout, it’s like a combination of Pilates & ballet. I keep getting messed up at 13:59! It’s supposed to be bending the right leg a second time but it shows the left & then cuts to the right again. I try to remember but always forget & get messed up!

  • may i ask why you dont have cellulite?? or why all ladys on yourube dont? �� i have started to think that there is something wrong with me becasue i have had bad cellulite since i was 14 and i have never been over weight

  • I love this workout. It’s gentle but effective and Peter Martens voice is so calming. And he’s very encouraging. Helping me through corona lockdown.xxxx

  • Love your energy and I did your challenge! But I have to say on day 2 i couldn’t walk. It is now day 3 and still can’t walk. So my advice is for your audience that are not ballet dancers is to maybe do 2 minutes the first day and 4 the next time. And then do 5. It’s a lot all at once lol. Guess I should have read the comments before hand. Oh well. Live and learn.

  • Stupendo! Sono in quarantena causa coronavirus e l’ho scoperto su YouTube. Mi sto esercitando tutti i giorni e trovo questo lavoro semplicemente unico. Per il mio corpo e per la mia mente. Vi amo! GRAZIE

  • This is awesome thank you. I have been wanting to do more cardio (aside from ballet class) but I did not want to get back to running because I am trying to loosen my muscles, not tighten them.

  • i have so much to do in my house tonight, but I HAD to have some cardio. This was perfect! I’m sure video of me doing the walks at the beginning while trying to rotate my shoulders in the reverse direction would be hilarious! I’m a dancer and very coordinated but rotating shoulders and alternating knee bends was difficult sort of like reversing any combo in class to do the left side. Anyway, I am sweating and breathing heavy but am energized for furniture moving, so this did its job.

  • You are truly an inspiration!! Because of you, i fall in love with ballett! ^_^ thank you for all the amazing workouts and dance videos!!

  • We need to classify ballet work outs…there is ‘I have no clue what i am going i could possibly injure you run dont walk’ and ‘lets tendu our way to fitness or lets waste your time’ with small footmovements ‘

  • I am doing this twice or 3 times a week more or less over an year. It is the best work out ever keeps your body fit and proportional. It does not give you useless muscle mass that turns into fat if you stop practicing, your muscles stay elongated. It is designed to work for all your body. I can not say how much I recommend it. Because I am over 50 I add just 10 min different work out for my belly and arms ( 5 min each) in some of the days I do not do this video. The results are unbelievable. An advise -do not ever skip the worming out and reverence parts and keep your belly muscles flat.

  • Great exercise.

    But 5 minutes in a first go is too much.

    People, you need to build up to 5 minutes of this. Start with 1 minute a few times a week. Then increase as the weeks go by.

  • Wow, this kicked my butt!! really good video, keep em coming!! you’re the only person who can get me up to work out in the mornings, I thank you!!

  • Looking to tone up before major hip surgery due CrossFit injury and hip defect. Love the workouts! I could only go 1 1/2 minutes with this one….beginners, beware!

  • Amazing video I love the dancers they are perfectly synchronized, I love the voice of the professor and the music, so far the best in youtube

  • First part was better filmed…. Clear with good synchronisation with music. Here is to much focus for ambition filmmaker…and les as dancers and music.

  • I love doing both workouts from the NYC Ballet Workout videos. I know they had a glossary of movement on the DVDs, has anyone been able to find them online? Thanks so SO much for posting these! They whip me into shape!

  • How long before my ankles stop creaking when releve + plie? It’s the worst part of the experience. They don’t creak when I plie, only when releve + plie!

  • How wonderful! Thanks so much for sharing. What a beautiful soothing voice, like treacle. Do I hear a Dutch accent?
    I’m going to try this 5 days a week during lockdown, starting today!

  • Love it! Love it! Love it! Quick and effective! It gets me sweat! But how can you jump on wood floor? My floor killed my feet. LOL

  • I had to come back and say I’ve been having fun doing these two volumes, but even more, I’m seeing a slow improvement in coordination. Thanks for sharing these! They’re a great help!

  • The day after doing this I literally can’t walk and the back of my knees hurt soooo much �� did I do the workout wrong or is it cuz I’m sore? I can’t tell��

  • I love your videos so much! I am an ex dancer and I haven’t been able to dance for a few years and your videos are helping me get my dance body back! Than you so much!:)

  • I have the dvd of this and have been doing the exercises a few days per week (in addition to many other types of workouts). It doesn’t seem too terribly hard, but my arms are like dying after some of the center combinations where they are held out to the side for what seems like forever. Also, sometimes the music can be tricky to discern. I really feel like I get a good ballet workout with this though. I miss my adult ballet classes but have been finding lots of material through the school to do online, and this dvd and other online ballet classes. I love the variety of these offerings which challenge one out of their comfort zone.

  • Here’s a tip if you’re struggling: Use a chair and press your hands into it every time you go on your toes. Gives you more balance but you can still feel the burn.

  • I have never done any calve workouts that burns like this, the position you mentioned in conjunction with abbs make the difference. Thank you!

  • OKAY I DID THIS you literally need to do this once and your calves will be bigger, I couldn’t walk properly for 3 days after doing this and that’s not even exaggerating

  • Haha, I love how SJP says that she’s “taken ballet…” She was a student at School of American Ballet, NYCB’s official ballet school!

  • Dude I can’t walk for two days and I was thinking “I’ll do that every day”
    NOW I AM LYING IN MY BED
    Day 5: I can walk but it hurts a little bit
    it hurts because it works ��

  • I just have finished this amazing workout and I am sweating!!!! I want to ask: does this workout help for slimming calves? I mean slim and tone. I’m petite and slim but my calves are not well defined and I would like to change it. How many times a week should I do this workout? Could you recommend me some good tips? ♥♥

  • Warning!!!! DON’T DO THE COMPLETE WORKOUT IF IT IS THE FIRST TIME DOING IT. Even if you warm-up, exercise on a daily basis, wear heels, and used to do leg day your calves will hurt like hell in the next days. You’ll not be able to walk properly for the next 3 days. PLEASE don’t do the 5 minutes, do 1 minute the first day and see how your body feels.

  • Loving the routine very much ��
    It’s very beginner friendly, it’s not very hard on the muscles.. But it’s very dynamic, which makes it challenging for me because I am used to the regular cardio..
    I’m not saying the workout is easy, though.. In fact my biggest weakness is coordination, and I think this routine will help me to improve it..
    Thanks for the video ��

  • Perfect training for those who don’t have lots of muscle on the butt and tights. I found the full body blast so far the best workout series for me personally after trying out lots of different stuff.

  • That moment when you realize you have lost a lot of core strength during quarantine… And that you have been holding on to the barre a little more than you thought because there is no way you should be having trouble balancing, carpet or no carpet ��

  • warning: if you never really worked out your calf before (if this muscle is not very developed you’ll feel an intense stifness in your calves for 2-3 days, i love this challenge, it’s very refreshing hearing Jacquelyn’s voice and good advices but maybe for the first time try to do half of the challenge if you want to be able te walk the day after��

  • So I did this for the first time last week and the pain on day 3 was unbearable. Even the simpliest of movement was painful, however looking a week later I can see it was worth it �� I can see it! I will do this once a week and day 3 can be recovery day. Thank you for destroying my calves ����

  • I’ve been a dancer my whole life so I wanted to see if I could do the 5 easily. It was a challenge and I had to stop twice for a few seconds, but I did it! This is fun and I love your spirit, Jacquelyn, thank you! xo

  • Best butt workout! I definitely felt the burn on the butt!! I always work my buttwith squats and weights and I my legs got really big. So I’m trying to slim them because My legs don’t fit into my jeans.:(

  • I’ve owned this on DVD for over 10 years and keep coming back! Nice gentle movements but a vigorous workout for sure. 
    Sharing this with mr niece who is on summer break from her ballet class. Should keep her nice and limber…

  • Trying to get better at ballet as I started quite late. Day 14 minutes in and my legs are killing me but going through port de bra helps ��

  • Very thankful for this, because I’ve been doing this since the beginning of February. I’ve never been a ballet dancer, so when I started this I couldn’t last 20 seconds at a time without this KILLING my upper thighs, glutes, feet, and the back of my knees in the worst way possible. Now I’ve been doing this since then (not every day, but maybe 3 or 4 times a week) and I can last for four minutes. Even then only the back of my knee muscles start to hurt. Very thankful for this and haven’t done any other type of calf exercise and I feel like my calves have grown well. I don’t do your ballet legs workout very often. I did it last night and I can’t last even 3 minutes before everything hurting very badly. This video was definitely my priority. Amazing how two separate workout videos by the same person can work so many different muscle areas without any weights. I really do like your deep hip opening stretches video, because again I’m no ballerina and possibly the most inflexible person known to man. I’ve tried many “learn the splits” videos and yours makes THE MOST SENSE without even trying to do the splits.

  • I LOVE ballet beautiful. I was looking for 1 of her other workouts & found this instead. It is basically doing 448 bridges all in all. It is for a really avid fitness person or professional ballet dancer (former one here����). You would achieve great results by only doing HALF of this, 4 or 5 times per week. So, do not worry if you this is too difficult or too much for you it IS really difficult & quite a lot of bridges!

  • I love it when you say “Plie”, it sounds so encouraging! Also I havent had this much sweat and fun while exercising for a long time, thank you:)

  • Hi Alessia, I’ve discovered your workouts and have been doing them all week! I was wondering if I can do them with shoes on while still pointing my feet or whether it’s better barefoot. Thanks!

  • Been doing this for 15 years at my age it’s paying off big time, love this DVD, soon as I saw the shoes I ran to the dance store and paid the 60.00

  • This is a great workout but I won’t be doing this again. I can’t walk properly and whenever I try I always hurt my feet from trying and I’ve been in bed mostly for three days today and it makes me feel terrible about myself, I’m in so much pain and I don’t know how to fix it I’ve tried everything basically and I’m just annoyed.

  • The best. My balance has improved vastly. (I’m a senior) it’s almost like being in class with Peter reminding you to breathe and keep you back into the floor, with the floor barre exercises. I wish there was a #3. The most important advice is to do it “in proper form ” to get the ultimate results from these exercises. You will see a big difference.

  • On day 3 the pain is unbearable y’all I can’t walk. I’m going to do an update for day 4 so everyone can see how long it takes to recover, I recommend don’t do the full 5 mins your first time

  • I really like how they improved over the last volume. It’s subtle things they missed before that they bring back and really rounds out things. I’m enjoying Volume one but will be alternating with this one as well.

  • hey, this was an absolute killer! i was wondering if i’ll see results doing this for like two minutes every day? thank you for this and i will definitely subscribe to your channel!

  • I’ve been doing this for 2 weeks now and oh my word! I feel so much better. I’ve never done ballet before just learning to breath makes such a difference. My coordination has improved, my slouchy posture is improving, my gut is starting to disappear. The next time I see Kevin O’Hare in the lift I’m asking for a job!

  • I was doing good with the first bridge set then she brought up bring the leg up all the way to my face and i oop�� your girl cant do that����

  • I adore this. I am taking ballet again after many years away. my question is how do you brace your abdomen and breathe at the same time? Ballet seems to be all about isolation. My teacher told me to stop tensing my back and butt but the legs have to be zipped up tight. Relaxing the lower back and butt helped so much with feeling pain after class. But all of this while turning out and breathing, it seems very challenging. Thank you.:)

  • holyyy this was intense. but i loved how she said the little reminders like to breath and keep the knees in at the perfect times lol

  • I personally like this because it gets rid of cellulite on the backs of my legs.Even more effective if you add cardio and eating healthy.

  • I literally memorized the floor barre did this workout at the beginning of quarantine and now again with a fractured toe. Thank you!!

  • Since quarantine I haven’t been able to go to dance class. I also don’t have any of my lessons for ballet recorded so this is great for me to maintain my calf’s during theses hard times thanks ��

  • i cnt believe that as a non dancer i just did the 5 min
    Quick update, one day after: I can’t walk anymore. Calves. Just BuRnINg.
    New update: its been 3 days now and I am starting to feel a lot better, I can finally walk straight without bending (idk if you know what I mean). It was painful but i think it was worth it. I really want to see some results and have stronger calves.

  • I’ve been doing this since march now and I feel and look so much better. Since I’m already a ballerina doing this as a warm-up really helps me get ready and a little less tight for dance!

  • Mary makes the routine look so fancy, elegant and simple. At minute 7 I checked how far I was because I needed it to be over min 13 was already sweating bad. I’m going to try this twice or three times a week. It’s fantastic!

  • Great calf workout! I did have to stop at 3 minutes. I started getting cramps in my calves. Ouch! I will do more tomorrow! Thank you so much for all of your workouts. I need to lose 30 lbs.

  • Why are the girls wearing BOOTS??? Looks ridiculous. As do the girls’ vest and long-legged shorts. Why not a proper one piece short ballet skirt-in-one-with-sleeveless-top, as always worn in class? And why bare chested men? Awful. Bare feet instead of ballet shoes without pointes. Awful. The expressionless faces is awful. The narrators voice sends you to sleep, it’s so boring. Not a class for the pleasure of doing ballet. Just a rarified gym workout. The only beautiful thing about the whole thing is the gorgeous music.

  • I pushed myself hard doing this workout and right after the workout was fine, a bit sore but fine. The next day I literally can’t walk. Second day still can’t walk. Could barley sleep because of how sore my calves are, this workout is insane. Lol how I can walk across the stage when I graduate in a few days�� trying to stretch it out is so hard and painful

  • Je voulais bouger pendant ce confinement, j’ai choisi elle en disant que c’est l’exercice le plus facile en 15 min. Mais j’ai eu tort j’ai transpiré comme pas possible ����������

  • for those wondering if there are any results from the workout (through all the creepy comments), there are!! this is my fifth week doing this, and my butt looks more shapely, while my legs are much leaner!!

  • Love love LOVE Ballet Beautiful!!! I remember first time doing the Classic Total Body workout I couldn’t even breathe! I do many BB workouts but I always go back to this, my favorite ever <33 along with Backstage Workout, Cardio Fat Burn and Swan Arms Cardio this is my fave, please don't give up, I guarantee that this leads to great results! It hurts a lot, but it's so pleasant to see how much you can challenge your body! MHB is such a wonderful woman <3 XoXo

  • I check back on this channel at least once a month to see if all the other workout videos are public again.. I used to do them everyday until she made them private and I miss them:(

  • I bought vols. 1 & 2. If done in proper form you will see amazing results. I’ve never been an athletic type, but these routines improved my balance tremendously. I’m a senior. I can’t believe the moves and extensions I can do now. It just sneaks up on you. Can’t recommend enough. Oh did I mention proper form? That’s the key.

  • Hello jackelyn, i love your videos, but today i have to tell you that i did this one, and even though i strechted well after the workout, i couldnt walk after.
    The they after i was ok,
    The next one i couldnt move my calves, and now i m at the hospital. I have edema in my ankles, im injured. Five minutes were too much for me, im telling this so that you can tell people about how much you recommend to workout depending on your body needs. I workout everyday, and anyways, it was too much!!
