Ballet in the park
Today i woke up, brush up, change into my cutest workout outfit. All black! Armed with my lil MP3 player, walked to a park. I started my warm up routine,
Plie (Centre)
Do this without bar. You would find that doing plie in centre, really workout all your muscle and train good balance.
2x Demi-plie
1x Grande Plie
Rise & Lower
(Arm - Full Port De Bra)
Repeat 10 sets.
Forward bend
Commence with 2nd position (as wide as shoulder width)
Do a full Port de bra forward bend. All the way to the floor.
Recover, bring arms to 5th position, open to 2nd position.
Plie.
Repeat 5 sets (Change your variation with side bends)
Grande Battement Derriere (Facing a bar)
5X Grande Battement Derriere with straight legs (Allowing body move forward, almost like doing a slit)
5x Grande Battement Derriere with bend legs (Body ache back, almost kicking to the back of your head)
Repeat Other leg

Thanks Jasmine! I love warming up my body before workout! That way I'll keep my muscles long & lean, streching them!
