If you havent had ballet training, you aren't aware that every muscle is continually engaged, aligned and extended while keeping the shoulders, arms and hands soft and it looks easy but I think dancers are literally the most accomplished athletes above and beyond anything else.

Wow! This kind of one on one ballet workout would be quite beneficial to anyone and everyone. I am sorry now that I never got involved in any formal training of any kind. I photographed ballet classes. That does not count except for my appreciation of them. I have worked out with weights but never consistently.

Please try these. For real. You have no idea, I won't ever change Ballet Beautiful because this literally builds you a whole new body. It's so weird, it's you, but better, longer. Just in case this is your first time being introduced to this, you should give it a try.

As someone who regularly (or more like, starts and gets too intimidated) does her online classes this video has me in stitches. The “horrible” on every new movement was gold.

I've tried so many workouts in my lifetime and Ballet Beautiful is by far the most effective. Even after having done it for the last 9 years, it still burns like CRAZY!

Ballet beautiful is literally the BEST workout ever! Been doing it for quite a few years, and it’s helped me feel more elegant and helped with my posture.

Alexa while working out is an entire mood.

the way that I relate to Alexa doing these exercises LOOOL

Your personality and humour is why I love watching your videos most - love you Alexa - so real and down to earth gorgeous

Love these diverse episodes! Keep em coming Alexa!! Especially during times of having to stay home , can you give us a song playlist you love??

During the quarantine days, I was literally planning to start bale at home. And then I saw your video. This was the one I was looking for. Thank you, dear Alexa! Love u!

FYI: Workout starts around 8:00 But the whole video is nice and alive with Alexa's energy - living vicariously through KZread now, you still might need some of that :)

"How is that feeling?" "Horrific" "Great! :)" Hahaha

watching you struggle through a workout is oddly endearing. I am so out of shape, but I am going to try this at home. Proud to be a chungster!

"Natalie Portman" "Casual" 😂😂😂

that outfit montage ugh classic alexa. i'm in loveeee

One of the best things I've ever seen. Honestly. Alexa Chung struggles at something (mean in this in the nicest way possible. You're perfect .... almost) and Mary Helen. I am in love with this woman. How elegant is she!?

YES! A vid from Alexa to destress me with all the stressful situations around me 😭💔 thank you! 💜

Alexa's vids might be the only thing that will help me stay sane during quarantine -- hoping for more vids!!

I did the pregnancy Ballet Beautiful classes online with my first baby 5 years ago and LOVED it! I love Mary, she is such a graceful ballerina and great teacher. LOVE the clothing line

That was wonderful. More swan arms for me everyday and I'll feel like I'm flying. You've freed me even though I'm still at home. Looking forward to my next elegant ballet work out. A breath of fresh air. Merci!

Great video Alexa! I actually loved this Ballet workout! I'm definitely trying this out at home on the weekend.

thanks to you now i have something to do at home while in quarantine 🥰

I looooved this video so much .... so calming , usefull and realistic (I mean Alexa's reactions to the ballerina's excercizes was literally me :P )all at the same time !

I got a burger king advert in the middle of this

So lovely to see her again! I used to do ballet beautiful a few years ago, i need to get back on it

I love Mary Helen Bowers, I could watch her all day!

Omg! What a workout. I need to do this during quarantine and sort my posture out! Thanks Alexa. Subscribed to ballet beautiful 🤙🏽

OMG I love Ballet Beautiful. The Bridge Series is KILLER.

I love how Alexa makes fun of things with an American accent lol

Love this! Such a lovely workout 👐🏻 Your skin looks so glowy btw

I’ve been doing the BB 70-Minute Classic Workout DVD and just love it! Mary Helen is fantastic

Man, watching them tie their ribbons brought back some real strong memories of ballet exams. I used to tuck my ribbon ends in and hairspray them rather than stitch though.
