Ballet Back Workout - How To Improve your Arabesque | Lazy Dancer Tips

In this video you will find an easy and safe way to improve your strength and movement throughout the whole back. These are simple and very effective exercises to gain control in Arabesque position. The intricate anatomy of the back provides support for the head and trunk of the body, strength in the trunk of the body, as well as a great deal of flexibility and movement. The upper back has the most structural support, with the ribs attached firmly to each level of the thoracic spine and very limited movement. The lower back (lumbar vertebrae) allows for flexibility and movement in back bending (extension) and forward bending (flexion). It does not permit twisting. Please keep in mind that, in order to gain this strength without straining your muscles , you always have to rely on the strength of your abdominals. Back and abdominals are the most important muscles to sustain our whole body and protect internal organs. Start gradually and do not “yank†into a position. Smooth out these movements and gain comfort before trying to push higher and flexing your back to a 90 degree angle… your safety and longevity of our body it the most important matter, always treat it well and with care. One has been given to us and one we keep! *************************************************** http://www.lazydancertips.com *************************************************** CoFounder/Performer/Writer: Alessia Lugoboni CoFounder/Cinematographer/Cameraman/Editor: Iacopo Di Luigi *************************************************** Music: Intro: "Life of Riley" Kevin MacLeod (incompetech.com) soundtrack:"The Show Must Be Go" Kevin MacLeod (incompetech.com) Licensed under Creative Commons: By Attribution 3.0 License http://creativecommons.org/licenses/b...
