- Happy Friday everyone. I've been going through my backlog of videos filmed a while back that I thought might be of use to you in your homes at this time.
When I was in New York I caught up with my old teacher Mary Helen Bowers at Ballet Beautiful, who taught me some moves that I now bring to you! See how I got on...

"One of my first clients was Natalie Portman..."
Alexa: "Casual."
this video's disconnect from reality and practicality at this point in time is comforting
i find it very ominous to have those dates so close to the pain thereafter.

"Walking here...walking up the stairs...putting an outfit on..." 🥸
I am balerina and I love it so much. Ballet is so beautiful.
is anyone else basically just living on youtube now?
dreamywalkhome yes 😩
i'm at the point where i wake up, stare at the mirror and say "hi guys!"
Quite.
Me. 😎
dreamywalkhome yep 🥰🥰🥰😉
If you havent had ballet training, you aren't aware that every muscle is continually engaged, aligned and extended while keeping the shoulders, arms and hands soft and it looks easy but I think dancers are literally the most accomplished athletes above and beyond anything else.
Only people who dont work out would watch this and think that looks easy lol
Wow! This kind of one on one ballet workout would be quite beneficial to anyone and everyone. I am sorry now that I never got involved in any formal training of any kind. I photographed ballet classes. That does not count except for my appreciation of them. I have worked out with weights but never consistently.
Above triathletes? Decathletes? Gynmasts? Combat sports athletes?
I love your sense of humour, Alexa. It's a proper tonic in these darker days.
@@liebingf Well, obviously. DUH! That doesn't stop it being entertaining and providing a bit of light relief during a sad and scary time.
Please try these. For real. You have no idea, I won't ever change Ballet Beautiful because this literally builds you a whole new body. It's so weird, it's you, but better, longer. Just in case this is your first time being introduced to this, you should give it a try.
Natt Jett i am the living proof of how ballet beautiful completely transforms your body!
Would u say that paying for the online custom subscription is worth it?
@@LumpySpaceJenny probably. I started around 5 or 6 years ago, when she had released a free workout set on another youtube chanel, probably bc she was starting. But then those were deleted and I see no free full workout sets from her anymore.
@@LumpySpaceJenny but you can buy the DVDs! I think they're $15-20 and will help you decide:)
@@nattjett88 @bluebardot What kind of results did you see and in how long?
I am just starting with BB, I have the Total Body Workout dvd and was just looking around youtube for other workouts!
Ballet beautiful is the perfect quarantine workout. When we emerge back into society we'll have perfect bums! Thanks, Alexa and Mary!
Tammy Jaeger omg yesss!!! I still have her old TH-cam video and my poise and structure. But it’s always nice to tone back up
dedicating allnmy energy into this and learning how to do the splits lol
Every girl should love ballet
Grumpy ballerina is my entire personality
It's refreshing to see someone with as little abdominal strength as me.
“A whiskey hangover and a point to prove.” I died 😂
Having the mental determination to work your body through alcoholism repercussions. Alexa's self-aware deprecation for the win.
sounds like an alex turner lyric.
She said."three kids" and I was like hold upppppppppppp. I thought she was like 24 or something
She can still be 24 with 3 kids, no? Haha :DDD but yea she looks super young!!!
She's 41!!
@@giovanna9592 OMG WHAT???
@@giovanna9592 whaaaaaaaaaat. i thought she was like 30
@@giovanna9592 she's 36, born in 1983.
this teacher is soooo nice
Ada Lee Rose super nice but also sorta strict which is my perfect combination for a teacher 👌🏻
Her name’s Mary Helen Bowers, she trains VS angels too!
Alexa is my spirit animal...
Teacher: “Do not grimace.”
Alexa: **Grimaces**
“How is this feeling?”
“Horrific”
“Okay great” 😂

The teacher’s posture is #goals
I really like how the teacher is so playful and professional at same time...Alexa have great banter..she said horrific..but teacher thought terrific..😀😀...This is exactly what I was looking for.
The "I wanna look like you" moment gave me life.
“your muscles feel like lemon ᵗᵘⁿᵃ” personally, i love the comparison
“I have a whisky hangover and a point to prove” sounds like my 30th birthday mantra 😆
I've tried so many workouts in my lifetime and Ballet Beautiful is by far the most effective. Even after having done it for the last 9 years, it still burns like CRAZY!
Do you have the DVD’s or subscribe on her website?
As someone who regularly (or more like, starts and gets too intimidated) does her online classes this video has me in stitches. The “horrible” on every new movement was gold.
“hello chungsters” ur so cute alexa ;,)
Ballet beautiful is literally the BEST workout ever! Been doing it for quite a few years, and it’s helped me feel more elegant and helped with my posture.
the way that I relate to Alexa doing these exercises LOOOL
Alexa while working out is an entire mood.
FYI: Workout starts around 8:00
But the whole video is nice and alive with Alexa's energy - living vicariously through TH-cam now, you still might need some of that :)
The teacher reminds me so much of Amy Adams I love it
DiDi Turley yes! She definitely does, not just the voice also how serious she is. 💕
Mary Helen: Professionals wear their tights over their leotards, versus children, etc., who wear their tights under the leotard.
Alexa: Let's do a montage
1st outfit: Tights under leotard 🤣
I mean, I know pros like to wear their tights over the leotard, but gosh I've never been able to pull it off! I just feel so silly, as if I was walking around with my underwears visible 😂
"Natalie Portman"
"Casual"
😂😂😂
watching you struggle through a workout is oddly endearing. I am so out of shape, but I am going to try this at home. Proud to be a chungster!
I love how Alexa makes fun of things with an American accent lol
"How is that feeling?"
"Horrific"
"Great! :)"
Hahaha
I'm sat here scoffing doughnuts in my pj's watching this never has my self esteem been so low
I feel this. I have veggie straws, an old t-shirt and unwashed hair.
hahaha
@@lucyroberts4067 I'm this without the veggie straws.
Wine. In my PJs after eating a burger and fries.
After watching this video I put the donut down and sweated on the floor for 30 mins with a yoga app. There's hope for us lol.
Love these diverse episodes! Keep em coming Alexa!! Especially during times of having to stay home , can you give us a song playlist you love??
Mark these words: I think I’ve found my replacement for swimming for the quarantine time being. Wish me luck hope I make it 👀🩰
Oh my days, Alexa is such a goof xD must be hard to be her teacher. On the other hand, it makes her an entertaining presenter
Haga
I got a burger king advert in the middle of this
I’m a chungster!
that outfit montage ugh classic alexa. i'm in loveeee
I vote that all of Alexa's fans (whatever we end up calling ourselves, haha) from this point forward spam reply to any snarky ballet-related comments on Alex's stuff saying, "Look! It's one of the grumpy ballerinas Mary Helen Bowers warned us about!"
What if the fans were called chimichangas 😂🙌❤
@@martamajor-machnacka8378 hahah chimi-chung-as, yesss
🙌
Chunglets. We are Chunglets.
Chungsters - sounds like the name of the coolest family in the neighborhood 🔥🔥
it's somewhere in between gangster and dumpster
@@ceiellel8765 lol
I like Alexters.
Tbh I don't like being called something it's like I am part of a sect or something.... Love Alexa but this is not a pleasant habit on YT
I love Mary Helen Bowers, I could watch her all day!
does this remind anyone of the exercise class in the marvelous mrs maisel?
YES
haha yes but MUCH better. The exercises on that TV show looked way too aggressive. I could see myself getting an injury easily lol
Well now it does!
Antonia Anagnostopoulos literally was JUST THINKING OF THIS
I think it’s the great outfits
“DO NOT grimace!” I’ll keep this in mind the next time I’m lifting at the gym.
OMG I love Ballet Beautiful. The Bridge Series is KILLER.
Man, watching them tie their ribbons brought back some real strong memories of ballet exams. I used to tuck my ribbon ends in and hairspray them rather than stitch though.
I’m a 51yr old from Australia....so not sure if I’m your demographic 🤨but love everything you do😊💕
She is my spirit animal... I’ve always wanted to do Ballet but I’m from a small town and my family didn’t have much money.
Inevitable by Kymmy I literally have the same story
Same !!
I did the pregnancy Ballet Beautiful classes online with my first baby 5 years ago and LOVED it! I love Mary, she is such a graceful ballerina and great teacher. LOVE the clothing line
This is the exact footage of me trying to teach my husband ballet beautiful... the struggle is real!
This gave me all my old pains from when I did ballet. I’m definitely doing this from now on.
“DO NOT GRIMACE “ 😂
Teacher has 3 kids and that body?! There's hope then!
I just finished a ballet beautiful workout at home and came onto youtube to this video :D
thanks to you now i have something to do at home while in quarantine 🥰
"How does that feel?" "Horrific." "Nice!"
It's my third day doing this workout lol, and I'm aching all over 😂 Hope that I can keep it up with this routine! Can't wait to look like a ballerina lol
During the quarantine days, I was literally planning to start bale at home. And then I saw your video. This was the one I was looking for. Thank you, dear Alexa! Love u!
ballet attire with Carel shoes.... iconic as always
The black outfits up against the white walls is so perfect to see the form of the exercise.
When Model Fit was really popular and I was doing just the exercises that they listed online- it was the best I ever looked. Now that we're stuck at home this is a great video to put out so we can work out together!
Where do you find those?
following this
They have their online workouts through jet sweat. I think it's like $9.99 per month and it's gives you access to loads of fitness studios videos in America.
@@smaxrob I specifically remember finding gifs of workouts when they were all the rage a few years ago, I know for sure I used some like this vogue article
www.vogue.com/article/karlie-kloss-workout-flat-abs-justin-gelband-modelfit
However, I cannot for the life of me find the original article I found that had much more than this. :( Someone below listed a place that has them though!
@@heleneb8945 Definitely going to be checking this out as I cannot find links to the old ones I used to use. Thank you!
I’ve been doing the BB 70-Minute Classic Workout DVD and just love it! Mary Helen is fantastic
"UUUGGHH! I've got a whisky hangover and a point to prove!" 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
One of the best things I've ever seen. Honestly. Alexa Chung struggles at something (mean in this in the nicest way possible. You're perfect .... almost) and Mary Helen. I am in love with this woman. How elegant is she!?
That was wonderful. More swan arms for me everyday and I'll feel like I'm flying. You've freed me even though I'm still at home. Looking forward to my next elegant ballet work out. A breath of fresh air. Merci!
how has Mary Helen not visibly aged since the ballet beautiful videos I would do as a high school freshman.....
I will try this at home c:
Fair play Alexa, you weren’t really expecting that work out 😂
Your personality and humour is why I love watching your videos most - love you Alexa - so real and down to earth gorgeous
Great video Alexa! I actually loved this Ballet workout! I'm definitely trying this out at home on the weekend.
I looooved this video so much .... so calming , usefull and realistic (I mean Alexa's reactions to the ballerina's excercizes was literally me :P )all at the same time !
That has to be the most charming thing I have ever seen. I want to be there!
As soon as I saw the thumbnail I just KNEW you were at Mary Helen Bower’s studio!!!
Omg! What a workout. I need to do this during quarantine and sort my posture out! Thanks Alexa. Subscribed to ballet beautiful 🤙🏽
Although an A-list celeb, Alexa is so relatable!
"You can pratice this in the water..."
"iN tHEe wAATeR??!"
I love how bossy she is lol “dont~ do NOT touch!” Hahah🤣
i like how when she was explaining stuff and Alexa just dying beside her responds like "uhum" "yup" is my same mood
Love this! Such a lovely workout 👐🏻 Your skin looks so glowy btw
My two favorite things… BB and Alexas humor 😄💖
Omg, i've just noticed that i did some ballet beautiful exercises like 6 years ago, it was my first workouts! (At 29 lol), mmmm...memories :)
Me : umm...ballet looks easy let's try it
Also me: breaks ankle before even starting 😑
Alexa's vids might be the only thing that will help me stay sane during quarantine -- hoping for more vids!!
YES! A vid from Alexa to destress me with all the stressful situations around me 😭💔 thank you! 💜
So lovely to see her again! I used to do ballet beautiful a few years ago, i need to get back on it
Could you please do a what you eat in a day-to-day life? Thankyou so much for your videos they are always great!!
The attempt to smile whilst burning - RELATE
Comic relief during a global pandemic.
Ah Alexa - when you snapped that rubber band at her!! 😂😂🍷
Alexa exercising is my spirit animal.
Ballet Beautiful dvd's are really great! I actually like doing them and feel it
Alexa Chung just seems so incredibly chill
Every time I watch a video of yours, I end up with a new phrase to say. Also, Mary is absolutely beautiful!
I have a Ballet Beautiful dvd, it’s such a great workout...so tough!!
Alexa, you are ont only beautiful, but your ultimate charm is your black humor! 😜👍🏽
Dancers in
Fantasy : care for elegance and wear tight powder pink store bought clothes
Reality : think practicality and wear chunky rainbow self-knitted leg warmers
Alexa is so funny and entertaining that I forget sometimes she's beautiful and elegant. I love when she's goofy and makes fun of herself. That sort of comedy shows that someone's really smart:)
I am a thirteen year old boy and I enjoyed this video
Am in quarantine in Tehran (Iran) and am exercising with you !! 🤗
