Ballet Fitness With Nicky Mcginty [DVD]

I have a few exercise DVDs and I wanted to get one with a difference. I wanted to improve my posture and my core muscles as this exercise DVD promises.I found the exercises overcomplicated and boring, somewhat rigid. I understand that ballet dancers must do routines over and over and it takes much discipline but for the mainstream ordinary person this feels very strict.Most of it it's done on the floorVery little of the DVD are actual ballet moves.I got bored with the DVD and didn't feel motivated to go back to it and use it again.

I love the last workout, which is a beautifully choreographed ballet dance routine. I liked all the other workouts, which are good flexibility stretches and plie barre work routines, but my one suggestion would be to increase the actual dance aspect, which was really a lot better than the more average exercise sections. Thumbs up though!

This arrived today and I have managed the whole 1hr with ease. Who knew ballet workout could be so relaxing and I enjoyed every bit of it. I have actually done some of it again to work on my problem areas .This combined with a high protein diet works wonders .I do other ballet dvds as well but this one is great .Can't wait till tommorow to do it again .Better not try it again today prob won't be able to move the Mora as this DVD works areas that my others don't. Excellent delivery arrived next day very happy customer .

I bought this as I want to start practicing before I start my ballet classes. It is not a DVD to teach you ballet moves, it is more to help you stretch and tone up using some ballet moves. The instructor is toned and graceful which inspires you to keep exercising to get to that, the background setting is beautiful and the music fits really well. I like the fact she uses a chair not a barre so it feels accessible to do at home. You also need a yoga mat as some of the exercises are done on the floor. A good all round workout and you definitely feel you have worked hard when you complete it. You can also work through the full hour or you can pick out sections to do if you have less time.

If you have to get up at stupid O' clock to fit a workout in and you don't want to be jumping around like a 4 year old this is the DVD for you. Relaxing music and slow, gentle stretching and toning exercises, with instructions over the music. Nice way to start or end your day.

Easy to follow instructions, excellent non-distracting studio setting, perfect tone and intonation helping to keep mind calm while following the instructions, gentle reminders for correct posture and breathing. I'm new to ballet ( adult ballet), and not very flexible, but felt inspired after this 60 minute effective workout :)

Beautiful relaxing music, nice flowing moves but some of these I found a little tricky to keep up with. I did look forward to doing this for a while as the music and Nicky I find relaxing to listen to, but I lost interest due to some of the moves. I will definately have to give this another go. I would definately recommend this DVD and if persisted with you will most definately see results. She does give great direction and tells you how to breathe properly.

Very disappointed with this dvd. Especially the arm and abs sections. They were too short and didnt feel like id had a workout. Too slow and i got bored half way through. Be ok for anyone wanting a slower paced dvd but if you want to sweat and feel your muscles have had a workout id reccomend barreamped dvds.
