3.0 out of 5 stars Stick with the NYC ballet workout 2 27 July 2007
Format:DVD
Personally I really like the New York City ballet workout, it's full of wonderful exercises that really do have go results if you stick to it. However the NYC workout 2 is far better than the first disc. On the first disc the commentary is sloppy and terms aren't explained where as the second disc has a video glossary of terms and the commentary keeps up with the dancers (whereas the first one was always 5 seconds early or late which got very confusing.)
My recommendation is to save money and just buy the second dvd - they have corrected all the faults of the first version and it's far superior because of it.

5.0 out of 5 stars The best workout for Classical Music lovers 10 Feb 2009
Format:DVD
This is certainly the classiest of all the ballet workouts out there - not everything is difficult and will suit beginners to ballet. And for those who have already studied, it matches the classes we all remember, using the same steps.

The dancers are absolutely beautiful and an inspiration during the workout! It is filmed artistically - sometimes footwork is missing from the shot at crucial times but this by no means detracts from the professionalism of the DVD.

And, of course, the biggest thing is that there is no cheesy, distracting music as found on almost every other DVD of this kind. You can choose Classical or Contemporary and it is, mostly, beautifully played (excepting some rather insensitive interpretations of 18th century works).

I also love Darcey Bussell's "Pilates for Life" - all of the same attributes and I use it regularly.

Buy this - it's worth it!

4.0 out of 5 stars Not easy, but effective! 10 Jun 2010
By Louisa
Format:DVD
I personally found Vol 2 better - as other reviewers have mentioned, it's better thought-out & explained.

On the negative side: it's not always easy to follow, especially if you've never done ballet before, or are physically unco-ordinated! Prepare for some amusingly ungraceful falling around while you get used to it! It's also perhaps not for people who like more traditional aerobics-style workouts since the moves are very precise and repetitive.

Having said that, the dancers' bodies are amazing: inspiring enough in themselves for you to put that doughnut down immediately! Peter Martin's voice is like melted dark chocolate, and I have to say, the workout does indeed work if you stick with it; after just two weeks I had noticeably more toned abs, thighs & arms.
