Get your ballet body back with this 10 day ballet stretch and workout challenge.

[@xeniasebitrakou]

PsycheTruth i wanted to know if i ever had done ballet can i do this ?

[@kyliecrawford1301]

+xenia sebitrakou Yes, anyone can do these stretches. :)

[@adnankhan3417]

hello
kylie i have muscle pain

[@adnankhan3417]

+Adnan Khan i want to contact with catherine
plz help me

[@kyliecrawford1301]

Adnan Khan Muscle pain is normal because as you stretch your muscles are breaking apart, causing a low grade burning sensation. If your muscles continue to feel sore for days after that, it could be because you are overworking your muscles.

[@abigailh0534]

Me
Beginning:OK this is nice ☺
Middle: I'm dying 😭
End: I can't feel my body ✖

[@james400414]

Your 10-day course is great. I am a beginner to yoga, and thanks to your ten-day "course", I am slowly, but steadily progressing. I'll be starting week three tomorrow; I'm still on lesson 3, but I am optimistic. I only move to the next course when I feel I am ready. Right now I am working on the "wheel pose". Thanks again!!!

[@yabutahiromichi1046]

I have be doing "day 1" for 7 days due to my stiff body. :(

[@sugarkats21]

That's fine, always work at your own pace and keep at it

[@sonalicaghosal8962]

Girl I did it for one month!

[@ElizabethRodRodriguez]

If your bodys that stiff u should do day 1 for a week and day 2 for a week and day 3 for a week...and so on...anyway ur probably done by now....so how did it go??😅😫

[@zaralul8077]

Yabuta Hiromichixi hi

[@hazelgriffith4515]

That's exactly how I'm doing it....One video per week and so far so good...

[@LadySevereGenerator]

This was amazing! Thank you so much for this Catherine. High quality material here!

[@mariellemarbella5742]

[@Koralene]

[@brandihagerty958]

Marielle Marbella Q

[@bryantangel1688]

I haven't danced for about 10 months now. And this video just helped me regain my confidence and motivated me so much. Felt so good to stretch once again, thank you so much! Super excited for day 3!!!

[@candacelunford7245]

Just completed Day one... Thank You ... it was awesome.. I am very excited to commit to your 10 day challenge... I am a 36 yr old 6' ex athlete that is need of increased flexibility... I feel taller even as I type this comment... I'm looking fwd to feeling wonderful as I push through each day. I found myself sweating and I know I will benefit from your challenge ... Thank You again

[@maikolosav]

Hey, how is this challenge going for you? I just found this video today and I am going to try it. I am 30 years old and started gymnastics as an adult so I'm trying to improve my flexibility.

[@candacelunford7245]

It's great... Enjoy!!

[@lisayang7083]

Great video. If you've been looking for a yoga-style workout without the jargon, without the too-fast yoga flows or the too-slow meditative styles, this is for you. Yes, she looks 14 in this video, but the moves are thoughtful and well-paced. They can be as easy or as difficult as you like. Very well done.

[@katenhydris1226]

THIS IS SO FAR THE BEST, Realistic stretch of pre dancing full body warm up that i finished following without feeling too slow. Other stretches that shows the person can bend her entire back while standing, to have her back folds together with her hips, is too freakishly non-human-----the contourist flexibility training is too farfetched. But this one right here is so real, so useful and so effective, works extremely well for me!

[@sharonpage8462]

I tried this video and the stretches were good techniques. I have not stretched in a long time. I am 52 years old and was able to most of the stretches. I will follow this particular video until I have mastered all stretches and then move on to Day 2.

[@morganrae8685]

i've been repeating this lesson for a couple of days and i absolutely adore it, I cannot wait to move onto the rest. though this one has been somewhat challenging for me on it's own.

[@gregbaker3964]

Thanks for the videos. I have been a martial artist since 1984 with a 14 month hiatus due to work. Your stretching is just what I needed to start to regain my flexibility. Thanks!

[@swatikamat39]

I'm 18 and ended up having back pain for a while due to lifting something really heavy. I could only bend halfway and my fingers wouldn't touch the floor. On day one, I did I've minutes of her workout and on day 2 I could follow with her. Its great!

[@chi1ryd]

I really like these videos. I am 60 years old and I have started day 1 challenge. Seems like genial movements with great results. Thank you. Robin

[@thewafflemonster7414]

I like how she puts so much attention on the technical points!

[@paulavevere6816]

This is exactualy the workout i have been looking for in years. I have been a dancer all my life and I have found that that's the only kind of exercise I truly enjoy. I'm so excited to continue the program on my days of. I realy enjoyed this workout!

[@BBGshop7]

first... I have to say ... For such a small framed woman, you have amazing body strength... I always thought I had exceptional lower body strength and I but I never knew how fit I needed to be for this... I haven't even gotten to the push-ups yet and I had to pause the video to make this comment.. I kept looking up as I was doing the beginning stretches like how many more are we going to do!! and you still kept going and saying "be sure to keep your hips parallel" and I was like "I know but it hurts!" then you would finally say about 4 more.. and then I was like HUH?!?!! LOL.. you are so poised with this video, and very informative with what each stretch is for. and I am excited about strengthening my entire body with this program. I am no where near ready to attempt the scorpion stretch, I came to your video because I wanted to become more flexible... I never realized how much muscle it took to do this.. I use more muscles doing these slow and extended stretches!! and become out of breath seemingly much quicker.. than aerobics .. while aerobics is still good, it is also wonderful to become one with my body to make sure I am doing each move properly.. thank you for posting!

[@freakcookies4119]

Bianca B. Garvin wow.. It must've taken you CENTURIES to write ALLL that

[@Jamais08]

that was a long pause :D

[@BBGshop7]

Lol to these comments!! (most of the comment was voice typed) *thanks android phones*

[@bigbadbraxien6081]

Bianca B. Garvin does it really look that small

[@johanaa3341]

Completely agree!! A strong little one. Loll #WeGotThis 💪💪

[@supriyasahu2202]

i m so much passionate bout ballet...dese videos r really helping me..

[@carolinejones3420]

Thank you for teaching - and thoroughly explaining - the fundamentals and muscles that should be activated in stretches, etc. I took dance and gymnastics as a child and transitioned into cheering, swimming, martial arts - later, an aerobics instructor. Somehow, I never learned the fundamentals of certain moves - it was all the "just keep trying approach." At age 41, I may never do a back walkover again, but I look forward to some awesome poses and handstands in the future! No longer will these be unsafe, "daredevil" attempts with your instruction!

[@jasumagaming9728]

By the end of this is internal bleeding normal?

[@Iamblessed12345]

Jasuma Gaming lmao! u killed me with that comment.

[@jinkookie366]

OMG XD WOW IKR IS FAILING NORMAL (who am I kidding it is...why did I even comment this people.

[@ElizabethRodRodriguez]

Yes very normal!

[@jaliyah2414]

Lol 😂 maybe

[@aartivedi7142]

Bleeding?!R u okay??

[@ritatouilles00]

Catherine's videos are really great. She explains the exercise and makes you work with both your mind and your body. Thanks a lot

[@screechilsley1376]

Thank you so much. I'm 46 & gave up dancing 18 months ago. Needless to say I have loss my flexibility. I know my muscles will remember if I follow your 10 day challenge :-)

[@tootpapi7926]

Thank you so much Ms.Catherine!! I'm a dancer and when I do this I see a change in my body!! Thanks

[@76Ronix]

As a retired gymnast that has had some injuries, I was a little hesitant, but I've been wanting to work on my flexibility bad, and this was perfect for me. I loved it! Following 4 sure.

[@nosis7842]

ALL OF THEM U WERE VERY HELPFUL TO ME. ALL MY BACK HURTS NOW BUT U WERE VERY ENCOUAGING AND I WAS NEVER FLEXIBLE SO THANKS 4 HELPING ME!!!

[@khadijahsams8369]

I am glad did this video. My body feels less tense and broke a sweat. I plan on completing this journey all the way.

[@mariaceron1165]

Trying to get in shape after giving birth and not dancing ballet over a year. Great start! Gonna do day 1 for a couple of weeks. Thanks for the videos.

[@jaelenjoyyy]

I am a dancer and i would love to get my splits and scorpion ready for dance season this fall

[@carolynjackson8250]

I dance ballet, jazz and modern. I'm also in color guard, and I took the summer off. This video definitely felt like I was back at rehearsals. I can't wait to keep going on this series. :)

[@roxinelson80]

I started dancing because of musical theater but I recently got plantars fasciitis and can't really dance anymore. I love these stretches! it felt so good and I'm excited to try to stretch to things I've never done before. thank you!

[@usartinstitute93]

Thanks Catherine I used to be gymnast an so flexible but I lost my flexibility over the years and now I'm so happy to get my flexibility back with this 10 day challenge;))

[@carlaabrantes8020]

thank you for posting this video challenge series. Just completed day one and have committed to follow the other 9 sessions. your approach is clear, realistic and inspires trust.
My goals are to get my body into moving mode, recuperated my flexibility and ultimately be able to follow ballet classes for adults as a strategy to keep toned and develop graciousness of movements in my daily expression.I hope this helps you plan more classes. Keep up the good work

[@jennhnyuh]

Doing this challenge to stay active and become more flexible while I'm on break from martial arts. (:

[@mermaids4ever00]

This is the first workout video that I actually did all the way through, and I really felt that burn and my muscles stretching and really want to do this all the way through I look forward to it

[@thkmpos]

My lower back, wrist and elbows are in pain, but I feel so good after doing this. I can't do handstands because my wrists are weak, I hope this helps me. Thank you.

[@tweetyfashiondancer]

This just made me realize how much flexibility I have lost since I stopped dancing 4 years ago. I'll do whats on this video for a week before I move onto day two.

[@hayleybusby2212]

Love this video....i'm looking forward to the next 10 days! I have decided to try ballet for the first time at the grand old age of 35 and i'm hoping this will help improve my flexibility....thanks :-)

[@aminakoroma3044]

Just finished this, it was amazing. Thank you so much. Here's to increasing flexibility in 2016

[@Missy50505]

Hi first of all thanks for the video. Just two things, when I did that camelpose I really hurt my knees, so you could maybe warn for that or explain in smaller steps how to go to that pose, or maybe show an alternative option that doesn't put as much pressure on you knees. the other thing is I have been dancing for a long time, although not on a high level, but because you are on such a high level and it comes easy for you, I don't think you realize your level and the effort that will be needed for some people including me to do some of the exercises, not yet having that basis. If you would explain a little slower I think it might help. For example after standing in a downwards kind of pose don't say 'come up' but 'role up slowly'. Anyway thank you!

[@pinkgame4876]

my bones popped a lot

[@jamiephiloraphilora6967]

lmao same

[@sylvi5290]

Thank you very much. This is a brilliant set of exercises. I ve been rather inactive recently and this allows me to come back to good form gently.

[@shivakumarmj6772]

This is the best fitness video I have seen.

[@mariahbacon6942]

Just completed challenge day 1, I'm busting in sweat but also feel like every muscle in my body has had a workout. This is going to go great with my new workout routine. My body feels amazing

[@lauraMiky]

hi I start ur challenge today fir the 10 days. I'm so happy the first video is so nice and I already fell good.

[@evak9744]

💃🏻She looks like this emoji!

[@zack_120]

She is just a piece of art 👍👍👍

[@Miss1Adventure]

Oh girl! I just did day 1 yesterday and am so sore, but good sore. I'm enjoying this and will keep on! My hamstrings are crazy tight, always have been, so I need to work more on that. Thanks for this series, I can see myself doing it over and over again.

[@Pezetowax3]

Cieszę się bardzo, że trafiłam na Twój kanał. To była najlepiej spędzona godzina w moim dniu! Thank you! You are great!

[@e.b.7219]

Wow! Using this for flexibility for MMA/Jiu-Jitsu and general fitness and to relieve some body-tension from sitting positions. Feels great and I am definitely going to try all 10 days. Thanks for doing these!

[@PrincessPointless]

Love this video, good mix of workout and stretch. Currently working my back walkover and box splits so really looking forward to the scorpion/walkover stuff!

[@Khatuntales]

Thank you So much dear Catherine for these drills. I am in day 7 and I already feel the differences. Could you please upload more ballet videos for beginners. I truly appreciate it.
Thanks again

[@KryptoniteStuff]

Hey Catherine, thanks for this amazing work out. My goals are definitely to strengthen my core and get more flexible, and this video was a great challenge. Thanks!

[@merryb8570]

Thank you for a wonderful 40min. Been trying to get my back bends and split back on but couldn't find a trainer that suits me- till I found you!! I want to be able to do advanced back bends and get my Russian splits that I lost 2 decades ago hehe.. Though getting through the basics is as rewarding as well..

[@kevinsukesh9334]

I play football/soccer. Avoiding injuries and taking crazy volleys are my goals! :D

[@unicorncupcake2435]

Man I fell down so many times 1.on the floor 2.on the wall 3. On the wardrobe 4. On the door 5.on a chair 6.on my arm etc

[@SugandhaNaolekar]

PsycheTruth As per your experience, ideally how much time should it take for a body to be flexible from no flexibility/dance at all? Considering, the workout is done daily henceforth. What I also mean to ask is there is no age limit for this right? I mean if u do it daily, the body should be flexible eventually..right?

[@SG-vx3pt]

My compliments, it really motivates me to follow the next excercises!! Thumbs up!

[@Driveright698]

This video is perfect for my figure skating. Thanks.

[@goldfishlaser]

Thanks for the video. I followed what you did in this video yesterday and I feel like it was just right for me. I'm trying to get more flexible so that I can improve my aerial silks dancing. I look forward to Day 2!

[@louveblancheomega799]

omg this warm up was a killer, I didn't expect that xoxo

[@cookycandy4]

Coralie Duquenne this was a warm up???? 😩

[@louveblancheomega799]

+cookycandy4 yep it is ^^

[@nameless568]

Well I’m gonna need a 45 min break after this “warm up”

[@evgeniy_moscow_gooner]

I've followed through. The bent knee stamping drill hasrealy blown the hell out of me! (English isn't my mother tongue)
My goal in doing your exercises is to get the middle split.

[@almiranteAle]

gracias por hacer este vídeo me ayuda mucho a mejorar mi flexibilidad

[@janierodriguez3017]

I liked this. Great instructions. Looking forward to the challenge. Thank you.

[@sean2120]

Your videos are the best! I'm so glad I found them. I hope some day you make more instructional ballet videos.

[@64msredback]

omg that was awesome! Im 50yrs old and was alittle worried I wouldnt be able to do some of the stretches but yep managed them all. Im one of those who is very tight around the pelvic/hip/lower back so these are really helping stretch these areas and give me some pain relief :) looking forward to doing some more!

[@StRaWbeRrYsasha]

GREAT routine I loved it! I can't wait for the rest. This is not quite begginers (not quite intermediate), It was challanging and i paused video a couple of times and flopped with doing planks, back kicks, push ups. I thought "hell when did streaching become such a workout" I was sweating. Not doing this for dance just because I am working out a lot, and I want to remain flexible for the rest of my life. in the past I thought because I am naturally flexible I don't need to streach after exercises... WOOOPSie was I wrong. I found it harder to do splits and bend as far back as I was before.

[@StRaWbeRrYsasha]

Liked, commented and subscribed. I am deffo coming back to you Miss Catherine. xxx

[@nashmaarrendell5637]

thnx you very much i am definitely coming back for day 2

[@heathrap8694]

Hey all you beautiful people out there I hope you have a nice day!😘

[@joshuataylor6087]

Thanks for the vid, I'm going to try some of these by the beach. I find them extra good when you're taking fresh air in while stretching.

[@shahhaiderkhan8820]

Thank you for your help me.
Lovely dialogue and teaching stretching

[@ThuyDuong-kw5bs]

I am so happy to have found these videos! thank you very much.

[@ZovniaO]

Thank you to have mad this quality video. I am stiff like a board. I am 41 now and don't want to be a oxidated stiff tin man when i get older so now is the time and your videos will help for sure. One suggestion...could you make videos of 10 or 15 min full body stretches. i want to make it part of my daily routine but i cannot spend every day 38 minutes . I will do the 10 day challenge but after that will look for shorter videos . Hope that you can make some cool short video modules for daily routine..thank you kevin

[@roseroseanne8483]

Thanks to Catherine am really flexible

[@garbageb4by768]

I'm doing this for my equestrian vaulting! I've rodden horses for many years and just started vaulting so need to be flexible as its a mix of gymnastics and ballet :) found some of this super hard but I'll get there hopefully, I'm not that flexible at the moment :/ hahah

[@foreverjenn7249]

Loved this video!! I'm definitely ready for Day 2. I used to be in gymnastics for years and I'm wanting to get back into Dance this upcoming fall for College. I'm hoping your 10 Day Flexibility Challenges help me improve

[@preetitiwarikathak533]

Very good and most of these exercises are yoga and starting session was Surya Namashkar's part

[@cherrylmcdonald400]

Just completed day 1! It was a challenge for me being that I am very stiff and unbalanced. I am trying to become more flexible, and stable over all to be able to work out hard to reach muscles.

[@amberrichardson8080]

Thank you so much Catherine. My goal is to be able to do the splits, all three. My pelvic floor has yet to touch the floor on any of them yet but working towards a full split.

[@KatieDMellott]

I love this, and all your other videos. I'm an aerialist in training and I am working on becoming more flexible, and one of my goals is to get my splits and at some point I'd like to be able to do scorpion :) You're my favorite, Catherine!

[@prashantkapoor1730]

Awesome loved each move, getting prepared for a new me , thank you Catherine GOD bless cheers 😊
