Hi, I am new here. I just purchased the NYC Ballet Workout video, and I am hoping to develop a lean, graceful body, like the dancers. I was wondering if someone could tell me how long it could take to see results, and maybe how many times a week I should do the tape to see results. Also, I am really trying to get in shape, is anyone a dancer here that could give me some good eating tips OR ANY HELPFUL TIPS? thanks so much

No, he is with ABT. Maybe you are thinking of the leading men of ABT. Does anyone have any tips or ideas though? Anything would be helpful.

Well, I'm not a dancer, but to get in shape in general, eat less, exercise more. DON'T TAKE THESE IN EXAGGERATED FORMS.

Eat little portions more often...and do a lot more cardio (long-distance running, bicycling, etc.)

One of my favourite workout tapes
I used it to warmup before I went to my ballet class (3 times a week)
I find that the exercises on the tape really helped me strengthen my core (ab area) and definately saw results within 3 weeks

broadwaystar2b- Thanks so much, so would you say maybe doing it 3 times a week would help me see results? I am already thin, I just want to have a toned graceful body like a dancers. thanks so much, your results give me more confidence to keep up with it. Anyone else?

"would you say maybe doing it 3 times a week would help me see results?"

Absolutely, I would see the results during class because the tape's excercises really helped my placement. But keep in mind, I was also taking intense ballet/pre-pointe classes after I'd warmup to the video, so your results probably won't be as immediate as mine were simply because I was more than just the tape, if that makes since.
Best of luck!

I've been using that workout video for awhile, and you DO get quite a good workout. Just like Zoran said "It kicks my butt"

My only advice is to stick with it. After about a few months of doing it, I really didn't want to do it anymore because it is SUCH a workout...but I then smacked myself and realized that's what I've been LOOKING for.

Have fun!!
