Aerobarre Maryann Levesque

The talented staff at Aerospace NYC, a boxing gym located in New York City, has created the first workout that combines ballet, boxing and sculpting. They call it Aerobarre.

This workout definitely seems different and it seems to be fun too!

This workout seems amazing, id love to combine something as feminine as ballet to something as masculine as boxing. I feel as the combination of these two words could make for a great exercise routine!

My wife is passionate about dance and addicted to Tae Bo. I think this combination workout would have her eager to sweat.

How exciting, I've never imagined combining these kind of activities. I imagine that this combo will be different in the fact that it will be total fat-burning yet build leaner muscles, many other workouts work on building heavier 'glamour muscles'

As an ex-ballerina - I miss the barre and could certainly use some cardio and sculpting that would come with the boxing twist!

Debbie 9-20-2010 @ 2:18PM

I like to mix up my workout to keep my body guessing what will be coming next. Boxing and ballet seems the perfect way to confuse my muscles!

Lauren Croucher 9-20-2010 @ 12:53PM

I have been kickboxing and doing barre workouts for years, but have never thought to combine the movements. I would love love love to try out this workout DVD!

I'm a turbo kick junkie, but also an ex-ballerina. Ballet is a fabulous total body workout, would be cool to see how it mixes with the boxing. Love Michael Olajide too, his other DVD's were tough body busters. Looking forward to trying this one, even if I don't win it! :)

I miss Ballet so much! I've been searching for a ballet for exercise class in my area but this combo might do the trick for me!

Jessica Michael 9-20-2010 @ 1:05PM

I have always wanted to learn both Ballet and Boxing but don't have the time to go learn both or the money for that matter. Would love to be able to just stick in a dvd and get fit as well as learn the moves so that I can go to an actual class in the future with confidence! :) Plus I need to lose those few extra pounds that just won't come off.

i would love to try this workout, what an amazing combination!!! i hope to win!!! 8)

I love the idea of merging boxing and ballet. I think that the key to increasing performance in lots of power/strength/speed sports is to consciously study your own gracefulness.

Anna P 9-20-2010 @ 4:48PM

This workout seems very different and seems to be fun too!

Kirstan Hutchinson 9-20-2010 @ 5:06PM

Wow! This sounds fun, exciting, and challenging -- just what I need to get out of a workout run and combine strength training with cardio!

LV 9-20-2010 @ 2:04PM

I got so EXCITED when I saw this new work-out! It combines my 2 loves - Dance & Kickboxing!! All that is out there right now is the same old Yoga & Cardio DVD's, which are ok, but it's time for something NEW... Aerobarre!!! Woot woot, can't wait! =-)

Cece 9-20-2010 @ 2:33PM

I think this workout is different because it uses ballet moves to tone and relax and then incorporates boxing to strengthen. I like that it would probably work with pilates too! I love a challenge, especially a fun, effective one :)
