Workout for Dancers:

Remember to add cardio to build stamina and strength as well. Fast paced walking or ballroom dancing always works. Try this workout 3 to 5 times a week.

*Always check with your doctor before you begin any exercise program.*

Abdominals

10 crunches in each position

 both feet flat on the floor, then both legs in table top, legs straight up with toes extended, legs in a V, then rotate legs outward with toes touching and knees bent, come back to table top, feet back down to floor.

25 Bicycle crunches thinking of twisting throughout the ribcage to work obliques

Push -ups

10 with knees bent

25 plank style (change where hands are placed to vary this)

Stay in plank position for 30 secs and work up to a minute.

Add a therapy band or stability ball for more variations...
