Editorial Reviews:

New York City Ballet Workout is a revolutionary fitness program that will help you begin to develop lean abs, firm buttocks, a contoured waist, sculpted legs, slim thighs, strong arms, perfect posture, flexbility you never thought possible--and grace and poice of a dancer. More than three hundred stunning step-by-step and other photographs throughout make this the most beautiful and easy-to-use exercise book ever created.This elegant book is unlike any exercise book ever published. Graced with more than 300 instructional exercise photographs and extraordinary duotone portraits of New York City Ballet dancers, The New York City Ballet Workout explores the company's philosophy of balancing art, life, and fitness.

By combining elements of New York City Ballet's balletic regimen with practical strength-building exercises, The New York City Ballet Workout can help people achieve a strong, graceful, and flexible body--one that displays the impeccable poise that is the trademark of New York City Ballet dancers.

Many exercises of The New York City Ballet Workout were once confined to the world's elite rehearsal studios. Now, as refined by Peter Martins and his company, these exercises have been designed as a comprehensive, holistic approach to the body that can be used by anyone from the out-of-shape to the serious athlete, to attain a lean, hard, beautiful body. From flexibility to endurance, this is a complete exercise program for men and women.

Summary: WOW!!
Comment: Need a great workout that you can do at home without the need for a DVD?? This is it. If you follow it and push yourself then you will benefit from this amazing book. It is not about jumping around, it is about stretching and using your body for stability and resistance. I am a dancer and found this book wonderful, I made my husband try it and he was a little confused with the terminology and that he has never put his body in some of the exercise poses before!!

Summary: slow going
Comment: This video is very pretty to watch.... once.

But the exercises are extremely slow, with very long transitions between the different sections.

You need to take more than an hour for a mediocre workout.

I did not feel like I was making any effort and certainly not getting a hard workout.

The bonus clips are nice though, if you want to get a glimpse into the life of NYC ballet dancers.

Summary: Photobook for ballet enthuthiasts
Comment: This book is wonderfully published -- it features glossy pages, beautiful, high resolution photos, and artfully placed typography.

That said, this is not any kind of book for someone looking for a real workout. If you're genuinely interested in ballet, and beautifully sculpted bodies, this book is for you. If you're looking for some new ideas to switch up your workout routine, you may want to pass.
