As time went on my priorities changed and  I found someone and a life that I loved more…Although I am no longer an active dancer, I still have a strong love for it in my heart and feel that ballet is by far one of the best exercises that you can do for your body. It not only tones your body, it lengthens your muscles so you don’t bulk up. So, give it a try. This week I will be doing 20 Grand Plies (slowly) in first position, then second, and then will repeat the exercise 5 times. Good luck and enjoy!

This week I’ll be challenging myself to hold a strong standard plank for 1 minute and then repeat the exercise 5 times. If you’re joining me, don’t forget to maintain a strong center to alleviate stress on your back. Good luck!
