Stretches for the feet!

I'm just quickly posting a video on here for reference, as I needed some new exercises to stretch my feet!

This girl is a ballet video blogger, and she's relatively new to youtube! I'm always out to discover new ballet video bloggers, watching these videos are my guilty pleasure!

Don Quixote!

Last Friday was my birthday, and on Saturday, my dad was kind enough to take me to see the Australian Ballet's Don Quixote at the Sydney Opera House!

The performance was incredible, my eyes were glued to the stage the entire time! I was not very familiar with Don Q before Saturday, I didn't really know what to expect. However from the start  I fell in love with the mixture comical aspects and the magical/classical dancing. If you ever get the chance to see a production of Don Q, I would surely recommend!  

I have to say, seeing a live production of a major company is really inspirational, because the next class I took was a really good class, maybe I was channeling my inner Kitri?

the performance, spaghetti and champagne!

Sorry, this post is later than I wanted, I did mean to post it earlier! On another note, I've started doing cardio (30 min treadmill, 10 mins spin) and pilates (about 40 min) to get into shape for next week's exam. I'll see you then with a post on how I went! Hope you're all well!

Time to get Toning!

At the end of last year I stumbled upon this great Pilates and health blogger, who regularly posts Pilates workout videos and also posts workout calenders, telling us what videos to do on each day. This month I decided to follow the calender for April and it's been really good, I suggest you check it all out!

Doing just 10-20 mins a day after ballet and before stretching has been a great way to warm up as well as strengthen my core and inner thighs!

I'm also planning on including cardio in my routine, now that I have more time because I'm off from school for the next two weeks and that it's as good a time as ever to get my fitness levels into shape as my exam is in just over 2 weeks!
