This is impressive. I've never really worked in professional dance (let alone ballet) but I think you're miles ahead of the field as far as fitness goes. Your exercise selection is good and most impressively, 90% of the exercises shown were performed with excellent form. In my opinion as a strength enthusiast and a dabbler in ballet, your dancers will stay healthier for much longer than their competition doing these routines.
This is great. Compared to other training demo vids I LOVE the form of the young women in their hip hinges and kettle bell swings. They really keep their backs straight and shoulders back/necks straight. Really helps get the full core benefit out of the exercise I believe. All GUYS and Gals should watch this for a demo on form!! On Question/comment: Jeff at AtheanX who is a legit PT and sports trainer doesn’t like the bent over one arm row with a knee on a bench as when you add weight it can push you into cheating and creates opportunity for a hernia. He explains it all detail. But, wondering at the level the women are pulling and maintaining correct form if that risk gets minimized. Also, just bringing it up for any guys who watch this and get motivated to to heavy bent over one arm knee on bench rows… But, loved the various angles and detailed info. I’m going to integrate some of this into my workouts and copy the great form. I like the super band under the knees as opposed to the foot/feet as well. Interested how that changes the dynamics of the core integration. 👍👍
Hello! Wonderful videos. Do you have them rotate the workouts each week (ie Workout 1 Monday, Workout 2 Wednesday...) Just figuring out how to implement this into my schedule and balance it with my dancing. Thanks!
Workout 1 and Workout 2 would typically be both performed in the same week with two days rest in between, though it would depend on the dancers schedules, training load and performance but thats what we would aim for.
That's a very interesting concept, because I've often noticed that (ballet) dancers seemed to be relatively weak in the upper body. So this approach is definitely commendable! And even being able to include pull-ups is great. One question regarding the push-ups however, since you didn't say anything about these: Is there a reason why you're using the knee version from rep 1? Would the dancers be unwilling to do the full version in order not to bulk up too much, or do many of them just not have the strength to perform them at all?
