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.

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!

I have done both the videos and did find them hard on the muscles. Some good exercises for strengthening and toning. However, I do ballet classes and bought the DVD to keep my fitness up during the holidays outside of term time when there are no classes, and I was expecting more of a dance element to the exercises, as that was the attraction of this DVD vs any other pilates/yoga-based DVD. Most of the exercises are floor based, and the dance elements that are included are quite fast, and even though I do ballet classes I found them difficult to follow at first.
The pace of the DVD is quite slow and I think I will get bored of the instructors voice if I do the DVD too often. If you were to use this to get into ballet, you may find it very different from any classes you attend as there are many different styles of ballet.
Overall, good if you like the way ballet dancers move, and find this inspiring and the exercises are good for toning and strength.
