Yoga Booty Ballet - the Master Series

The newest DVDs in the YBB workout collection, Gillian and Teigh are back with 5 more workouts incorporating yoga, ballet, and dance. This series of workouts includes AM Latte, Goddess Abs, Goddess Booty, Pajama Time, and the bonus disc, Yoga Core. Each workout is approximately a half hour, and these are especially good to do when you want to work out but are short on time.

AM Latte - This workout is about 35 minutes long. It is made to be done in the morning, preferably just after waking up. The beginning section can be done on any comfortable surface - including in your bed! It starts with a series of muscular squeezes, a yoga technique for high energy. It then moves on to a few yoga poses and setting an intention for the workout and for your day. Next are a few yoga poses for the morning in order to wake up your mind, body, and spirit. The next section is a cardio section, using basic dance steps. It's a fun cardio section with moves like "show girl," and "sizzle." The final section of this workout is a ballet section for strength. It's done standing up and takes a lot of balance and coordination. One-legged squats are done at the end of the work-out, a Yoga Booty Ballet standard for stretching out the muscles in the legs. Finally, the workout finishes off with a meditation.

Goddess Abs - This workout is approximately 25 minutes long and focuses on the abdominals. It starts like all the other YBB workouts, with some meditation, and setting an intention. It then moves on to a series of twists, using the YBB "squishy ball." Most of the rest of the exercises in this video are done on a mat, lying on your back. Many moves come from both traditional ab routines and pilates. The workout ends, as usual, with yoga poses to stretch, and meditation.
