Ballet Body: Upper Body Workout

Really fun, tough workout
I had never done any of Leah Sarago's workouts before getting the three Signature Series DVDs. I had heard such raves about her downloads and these DVDs on the Video Fitness forum, though, that I decided to give them a try. Although I have done similar workouts in the past, I had been worried before ordering these that the Ballet Body workouts would be too advanced for a Ballet Body newbie like me. While each of the three workouts is definitely challenging, they are fun and tough -- and I'm excited to start seeing the changes that they'll make.

This workout begins with about 25 minutes of mat/plank work, followed by 20 minutes of weighted arm work; it concludes with a wonderful five-minute stretch that really gets into all the tight spaces. It's the only one of the three workouts that requires lighter (two- to five-pound) weights. I usually use 10- or 12-pound dumbbells for weighted arm work, but I used 2-pound weights for this, and my arms were shaking the entire time...

A strong and elegant body...just do these workouts!!!
I purchased all three of the DVDs in the series. Got them a week go,and I've used them all a few times now. These are the workouts that my "gut" tells me will transform my body.
These are the workouts that challenge me in a way my body hasn't been challenged before. I can't wait to see what I'll be looking like this summer.

Leah's strength and grace is an inspiration, and incredibly motivating...I want to have that range of motion, that elegance in motion and strength.
I did not know of Leah prior to the purchase of these DVDs and bought them based on the excellent reviews.
I can see (and feel) why they've been so highly rated...you will work muscles you didn't know you had,with some unique techniques.
My hope is she adds a 4th DVD to this collection focusing on range of motion and flexibility.

I'm pleased that here is a "ballet workout" that devotes as much time and effort to upper body strength as to the core and the lower body. (yes I know...

If You Want a True Ballet Body - BUY Ballet Body.
Note: I am not a waify person. I do not need to lose 10-20 lbs, so doing anything would make me look good. I am really picky in my workouts, and I demand the very best for the little time that I have it.

So therefore when I say: these are the bestest things in the face of the planet - I am not lying. I lost almost 100 lbs using Leah Sarago's Ballet Body downloads - just type in Leah Sarago Ballet Body in google and you'll be able to sign up for her weekly downloads - and I've been waiting for these dvds for months. And now they are here and they are fantastic.

Leah works your body incredibly crazy hard. You will build strength almost instantly (the first week, you are like whoa - can I really do this? second week, you're amazed that you can hold that plank, third week, look at me, I'm balancing and so forth). These are perfectly sequenced in their flow, so you get your heart rate up, your breath going and a hard work out.

20 minutes of planks in every...
