Black Swan...

A MUST SEE MOVIE!  It was amazing! Stunning and haunting, it still gives me goosebumps! Natalie Portman truly pulled off the ballet and I know it must have taken hours and hours of ballet training!  Thank you Shape Magazine for sharing some of the workout routines.  Here is a good one!

Natalie Portman Ballet Workout:  Butt Buster

A tight, toned ballerina butt not only helps you look amazing in your jeans, but it can also prevent injury.

How to do it:  Start on all fours, making sure that you have plenty of cushion beneath your knees.  Bring one knee into your chest and then extend the leg straight back into arabesque, keeping the knee very straight.  Pull in through your stomach and lift you leg high toward the ceiling.  Repeat 30 times, and then change legs.
