Strengthen, sculpt, and define your upper body with this creative, results-oriented workout DVD from Ballet Body by Leah Sarago Fitness. The first half of this workout will intensely challenge your upper body and core on the mat with muscle-elongating techniques and strengthening sequences to maximize muscle fiber recruitment. This workout offers modifications as you build strength, while also offering advanced variations as you progress. Perform Arabesque Push-Ups, Circular Planks, Down-ward Facing Dog Push-Ups, and Rock the Hips Tricep Dips to offer you innovative ways to activate your muscles. After 25 minutes of mat work, grab a pair of dumbbells for a 20 minute nonstop, weighted arm workout that will have your arms and shoulders burning in no time. Because the weighted arm exercises in this DVD explore a wide range of motion, light dumbbells are advised. With the shoulder being the most unstable joint in the body, it is important to properly train and strengthen this joint with care. These dance-inspired, muscle-lengthening movements will safely sculpt sleek and defined arms, while strengthening the shoulder girdle to help increase range of motion and prevent injury. Improve your muscle definition, posture, and strength with this incredible upper body focused workout. Sculpt your arms longer and leaner with this challenging workout DVD suitable for all levels, complete with modifications and advanced options available.
