BODYCURE® is a fitness program – not a dance class.
BODYCURE® provides the healthiest velocity for each activity whilst developing an innate sense of rhythm and coordination: essential for any athlete.
Why does BODYCURE® use ballet movements as the basis for its Cardio workout?
Ballet is one of the safest ways to work the whole body simultaneously.
Postural alignment, joint flexibility and essential muscular strength are the benefits to expect and stamina levels improve dramatically.
Here is a breakdown of the muscle groups in use and remember they are all working at the same time in the 25 minute BODYCURE®CARDIO
Back and Core Strength.
Ballet relies on abdominal, back and pelvic muscles to provide essential stability and balance whilst maintaining a correct postural alignment.
The pelvic floor muscles (Deep Core) are constantly in use. This is vital for stabilizing the spine through activity and is a powerful weapon against spinal degeneration. On top of this you can expect your waist size to trim up!
Quadriceps and Hamstrings
Repetitive deep knee bends (the plié) is the basic movement in ballet, and with each plié the hamstrings contract becoming both stronger and more powerful together with the quadriceps which assist full knee extensions and hip flexion.
Hip and Gluteal Muscles
Turnout of the legs at the hip socket is a key element in developing strong external hip rotators and gluteal muscles.
Calves and Feet
With every stretch or rise of the foot the lower leg muscles are activated. As the legs open and close through controlled articulate footwork, the entire lower body muscle groups are working to their capacity.
Arms
Arms are held in specific resistant positions throughout. This increases the cardio output whilst developing strength and definition of the biceps/triceps.
