The leg section, like the abdominal section, makes you feel like you’re working every single muscle on your legs. You can also see and feel your legs getting that “long look” of a dancer. Once I made it to the cool down section at the end, I felt like my body got more flexible in just the hour it took to complete the first volume.

The second volume incorporates much of the first, integrating more advanced exercises in each area as well as choreography that enhances aerobic conditioning. If you don’t have a dance background, you need to master the first workout and then take it slow when you’re ready to move on to the second.

I can honestly say that the New York City Ballet Workout quelled any skepticism I had about getting an effective workout from a DVD. I experienced immediate results after just one workout—my posture seemed straighter, every muscle tingled and felt elongated and my flexibility definitely increased. And if you’re completely enthralled by the bodies, strength and grace of ballet dancers get the DVD set—with every workout you’ll feel as if you’re getting the body you’ve always wanted.
