Hey guys,
This chapter is about building up your strength and muscles. If your dance school doesn't have a class for this then I suggest you do it at home😺, I take two conditioning classes a week and I might be sore and tired after them but they do help and you will be able to see major imorovements✊🏻👍🏻.
~ARMS:
• in class we do 10 push-ups then 10 reverse push-ups and we do this three times. We then do mountain climbers about 20 each leg and repeat this twice a week. Planks are also good to tone your arms and make them stronger.
~CORE:
• planks, sit-ups, leg raises and crunches are great for this type of strengthening. It hurts at first but then you will get used to the pain but trust me it's worth it!🙌🏻
~LEGS:
•it's easier to make your legs stronger. Some things I like to do include wall sits, soutees (jumps), pirouettes and squats (they also strengthen your bum as well).
~CALVES & ANKLES:
• Do lots of rises, half rises and relevés. Also I do a ankle and calve strength thing with stretching bands you wrap it around your foot make sure your leg is parallel to your hip and pull the band. Go through from flex to Demi pointe then to a full pointe, work your way back and then up again💪🏼
Thanks for reading this chapter, I am running out of ideas😿 please comment ideas for chapters please! 👽
Xx Mikayla 💘
