Ballerina bodies are also typically lean and fat-free. Many people envy the physique but don’t actually realize that they can get a similar shape. Besides a strict diet, opt for some fat-busting treatments to help you get into tip top shape. Ever since Natalie Portman made the ballet body every woman’s must have, ladies (and some gentlemen) have been flocking to barre-based classes in droves. But while there may be a ballet barre present in the room, many of these curriculums are only loosely based on the ballerina’s real repertoire — undeniably the source of her long, lean, sculpted frame.
We select top three ballet-inspired moves to help you achieve a ballerina’s bod.
Supermodel Bodyfit program
As the name suggests, this intense body sculpting program is for those who keep their standards high, and their bodies taut. Using triple therapy action of Coolshape cryolipolysis fat-freezing, Dreamtone body firming and Exilis Body Magic intensive sculpting, this program is for those who believes their bodies deserve nothing but the best. Non-invasive with no downtime, they are a perfect fit for lunchtime quick fixes. Popular ballerina’ body fixes include areas such as tummy and thighs.
Removal & revival program
Nothing destroys the ballerina-like illusion like unwanted body hair. Using a combination of diode and alexandrite laser to target a spectrum of hair types, this hardworking program not only removes hair permanently but also lightens unsightly, discoloured patches of skin. Body skin is left soft, silky and smooth after each program.
