I was advised not to add a high impact activity like running because ballet is already hard on the joints. I did mostly biking, walking, and pilates when I danced

Pilates 💛

@a.agrayson6253

Swimming and rock climbing are my favorites.

@lazychickenugget

ballet/cross country running/no weight workouts

@TabithaBigbee

Fellow prancing giraffe ✋🏻 the usual: pilates, yoga, walking/hiking, and recently have added the occasional HIIT. I don't love it and do a lot of modification, but I see results so. During peak season only walking (cause the dog still needs to walk) and basic injury prevention exercises.

@kassandra0

I’ve found Pilates works well for me. Running is also my worst nightmare 😂

@indiahay8574

Figure skating. Many advanced figure skaters do ballet for cross-training, so it would work the other way too. I do both skating and ballet and they have many similarities that benefit each other.

@minix61

Sea swimming or swimming in general, low impact on the joints and just getting into the water or going to an aquafit is a good session.

@nancymcgee4776

I swim every morning. Low impact on the joints and great for the muscles!

@davidsouza5374

Ballerinas do seem to be in excellent condition. In my experience i found a mini trampoline to be fun and effective in  cardio conditioning. I do it once a week for 11 minutes. And my cardio capacity maintains even only doing it once a week. The discipline of Ballerinas has my deepest respect.

@Becca_H85

Have you tried Yoga or Pilates? You could adjust your session to just simple relaxing, winding down and stretching during peak season and doing more in other seasons and it will definitely help your mind and body, also strength and posture. Would be the perfect addition to ballet.

@ashleyjones7714

When I did ballet I conditioned my body on a pilates reformer with straps for hands and feet for a full body strength and flexibility workout about 2-3 times weekly with my ballet teacher during privates.
I did a lot of workouts with the stability ball.
I took class about 3 days weekly with private lessons anywhere from 2 to 3 days a week.
I absolutely loved it.❤
I loved getting to a lesson early and getting to watch the professionals.

@Ohana1-l4y

I have a Row machine for the muscles and do Pilates and Yoga, when I have energy left. While rowing you can casually watch YouTube or something like that, and 20-25 minutes are not soo hard but they exercise your body. And yoga is good for calmness as well

@PrimroseD-D

I do swimming, judo, dance(ballet, tap, modern, lyrical, contemporary)

@H.Sarikaya

Hı Lori, well, my routine includes cardiovascular exercise, strength training, and flexibility exercises like yoga or Pilates.
Walking is my main workout! All of your Body works and İt's safe ın everyway.. Also the most important benefit of cross training is that it reduces the risk of injury!! Which is accomplished by working certain muscle groups while others rest.
Have a great day! 
😘

@laurentienstuijt6494

I like biking and swimming.

@Elli..._

I do Pilates, Cardio Workouts and run 2 kilometres per day. Aside I of course train ballet. For me this really works and for someone who hated sports for many years, I think that this is pretty good.😊

@dysaniaasmr7242

I love doing a spin class! It takes about 3 classes to get used to the seat, but it’s fun, high intensity cardio but not too difficult. (I also hate running and the stepper)

@HopeMclamb-gx3dw

Advanced yoga classes are great for dancers (I’m a student) and they really help your flexibility, strength, and stability 🥰🥰

P.s You are so elegant and I ove your vids! 😊
