Who said we are too old for Ballet? Do you remember the ballet plie'? Not many people know this, but the best way to get your body firm and trimmed is to take ballet classes. If you don’t mind dancing with a bunch of 8 year olds, it could be the best thing for you!
However, there are some exercises that you can do in your bathroom, if you still have time after your squat routine!
Ballet plie
This is good for your buttocks, thighs and calves.
You need to hold on to something while doing this, maybe your towel rack, just don’t put your weight on the rack or it will tear off the wall!
1) Stand up straight and firm, with your legs together then point your toes outwards and keep your heels together. (First position) Keep your weight at the balls of your feet.
2) Slowly bend your knees keeping your knees over your toes and push your thighs out and your eyes forward. (demi pile) Look down at your toes, you should not be able to see them. Keep your buttock tucked in, back straight and your hips aligned facing forward.
3) Hold for a few seconds and slowly stand up, keeping your feet in second position) Keeping your feet firm on the ground and your back straight.
4) Repeat 10 times!
Oh! Keep your feet flat on the floor! Don’t push yourself.
