The Bodiography Fitness and Strength Training System is a new full body workout that fuses the technique and the benefits of ballet conditioning with skeletal alignment, natural body weight, and the use of props (mat, weights, ball, and bands). Created by Bodiography Contemporary Ballet’s Artistic Director Maria Caruso, this class is derived directly out of the fitness and strength training needs of professional and pre-professional ballet dancers. By combining the alignment principles of ballet, traditional training techniques, and specifically constructed exercise sequences, this workout is truly the “ballet workout for everyBODY”. Though a class will always have a minimum of 20 minutes of intense and concentrated abdominal work, the Bodiography class is designed to target all muscle groups from the abdominals, back, legs, arms, and glutes. In order to do this in an hour, exercises often work up to three muscles groups at one time. Muscle groups like abdominals, inner thighs, and triceps are combined together into one exercise to allow for a more efficient and productive workout. The Bodiography recipe for success is a combination of consistency and variety. With an arsenal of exercises, instructors are encouraged to use the base set of sequential workouts in every class (which makes up about 75% of the class) and to be creative with the rest. The classes can have a variety of focuses such as balance and flexibility, strength and agility, or specialized muscle groups while simultaneously working the whole body.
