Miranda Kerr is an Australian beauty, who is also a Victoria’s Secret Angel. Her workout consists of pilates and ballet mainly. She is amazing and never ever lets her busy schedule to throw a bad impact on her healthy lifestyle. Her trainer and founder of Ballet Bodies, Andie Hecker told about Miranda’s ballet moves, which you may perform at home too as you don’t need any experience to try these moves. All you need is a little weight (2 pounds is enough) and a barre (a horizontal rod of waist height) for balancing the body weight.
Her ballet inspired workout is nice for giving shape to the shoulders. Ballet is great as you have to balance your body weight and try different moves like extending the legs, arms, butts. This gives shape to the muscles and as a result, your body. Here are some of her moves –
- Fondue to Arabesque [Fond-u to a-ra-BESK] – This is one of the basic ballet move which is great for giving shape to your gluteal (at the buttock) and arms muscles. Here ‘Fondue’ means to melt. A person has to stand on one leg and the other leg extended behind at right angle to each other. The hands are moved in various harmonious positions giving creating the longest possible line from fingertips to toes. The shoulders must be held square to the line of direction. Do 32 reps of these.
- Arabesque Pulses [a-ra-BESK Pulses] – These are another form of arabesque exercise. Here, the basic position of the body remains same, i.e., stand on one leg and other leg to the right angle to the other. This is called arabesque move in terms of ballet. Now, move your hands up (lifting up) up above the head and simultaneously extend your leg little higher and then drop them (leg+hand) down. This will help you in getting toned legs. Do 32 reps.
