Ballerina Body Plank Series
Ballerina Body Plank Series is an 11-minute floor workout designed to sculpt and strengthen your legs, glutes, and core. Inspired by ballet control and posture, this routine uses plank variations to activate the lower body without impact.
We begin on all fours, keeping the spine long and the weight evenly distributed. The right leg lifts and lowers with control. Then the left leg follows. These slow, precise movements target the glutes and hamstrings while engaging your abs.
Next, we add extensions—lifting, flexing, and stretching the legs—activating the thighs and improving control. After a short stretch, we continue with knee-to-chest movements that strengthen the core and lower back.
The intensity increases as we lift one leg while bending the elbows in a modified push-up. This sequence tones the glutes while engaging the upper body. It’s challenging yet gentle on the joints.
We transition into forearm plank. From this position, we alternate leg lifts to deeply engage the glutes and abs. Then we switch to high plank on the palms for an added core challenge. The legs move with precision, building endurance and strength.
We end in a relaxing child’s pose, allowing the back and hips to release.
This workout is low-impact, equipment-free, and suitable for all levels. Whether you’re looking to tone your legs or improve posture, it’s the perfect short session to include in your weekly routine.
