Tendu Toning: Ballerina Strong Rachel Speck - Total Body Workout

Welcome to Tendu Toning Ballerina Strong, the second video using my revolutionary workout that combines the toning of ballet with the strength of body building. After retiring from being a professional ballerina, I wanted a way to maintain my long lean body, but I also wanted to help others like you achieve a ballet body without spending years in ballet training. Therefore, I created my first video, Tendu Toning: Where Ballet Meets Fitness, using my innovative ballet technique which pairs simple ballet steps with weights, resistance, and increased repetitions to maximize results in a short amount of time.

This second video offers some of your favorite squats, pulses, and pliés, but it also offers new steps like curtsy lunges, arabesque penches, chest presses, and combinations to work even more muscles. The video will challenge those of you familiar with my workout to achieve new fitness levels while being easily followed or modified for those joining me for the first time. So grab your ballet slippers...or sneakers, and start releasing that inner ballerina!

Equipment Required: Ankle Weights (optional), Barre or Chair, Playground Ball, Gliding Discs, Resistance Band, Light Hand Weights.
