Barre Workout for Calves and Ankles | Lazy Dancer Tips

[@isabellaenigmatic684]

I can't thank you enough Alessia. I can walk without much pain for the first time in a year and a half (I had achilles tendonitis and your calf and ankle strengthening exercises are helping me recover). I am gracefull. I feel balanced. I've lost 52 pounds and I'm enjoying exercise. I look at my body and love what I am seeing happen to it. I don't feel overwhelmed finding exercise videos that are too much for me or too little. Every time I perform a ballet movement correctly I feel more beautiful than I ever have in my life. I enjoy my instructor immensely (yourself). I find myself smiling through even your most gruesome workouts thanks to your cheery half full outlook and humor. Almost all of this is due to you for putting the videos out, and myself for working hard.

[@lazydancertips]

Isabella you've brightened my day! Reading your beautiful and happy words is the most incredible and beautiful thing. I'm so pleased you are enjoying yourself and i'm happy you are smiling every day! Keep doing what you are doing, dance and enjoy every moment of it! Lots of love to you and thank you again! Alessia :D

[@lazydancertips]

Viktoria Thank you so very much for your kind words! Keep on Dancing and Having Fun! Lots of Love Alessia

[@skylarrayelle1609]

Hello! So I was wondering how many times a week I should do this workout to improve my ankles as fast as possible without overworking the muscles 💪. Thanks again and in love with this channel!💖💝✨✨✨

[@lazydancertips]

Hi Skyray, thank you for your lovely comment ! :D regarding your question, it all depends how much work/dance classes you do during the week. You can always pick and choose exercises from the videos that you can do after your class. I personally used to do at least 32 parallel rises on each leg every day. You can build up to it, don't try to do it all in one as it is impossible and you'll hurt yourself . Then as a dancer you need to concentrate on all parts of the body as the other muscles also help out, therefore you won't over work your ankles. If everything is sustained the work on your lower legs will feel easier. Try also these exercises tinyurl.com/zqup8tj they'll be very good for you! Let me know how you get on, ok? kissy Ciao Alessia :)

[@maysmith5549]

love all your workout.

[@lazydancertips]

[@BluMissUndaztood]

+Lazy Dancer Tips Ti parla una ragazza di 25 anni che ha ripreso l'anno scorso a frequentare i corsi di danza classica, dopo una lunga pausa di dieci anni. Insomma è dura, a volte vorrei mollare tutto, ma non voglio allontanarmi nuovamente dalla danza. Le tue lezioni mi hanno aiutata molto e adoro il tuo modo di fare: aiuti la gente ad affrontare l'allenamento con il sorriso e non è cosa da poco...

[@lazydancertips]

Adesso che hai ripreso non mollare, altrimenti sara' ancora più difficile trovare la voglia . Forse il motivo per cui voglio aiutare te e persone come te che si trovano ad affrontare l'allenamento o in questo caso la danza, come dici tu, con il sorriso, e' perché mi ci sono trovata anche io a voler mollare tutto. Dopo tanta negatività' ho trovato anche chi mi ha dato tanta positività. Ho scelto di seguire la strada "rosa" e di vedere il mondo e la vita da una diversa prospettiva. Trova sempre quello che ti fa felice, quello che ti da piacere e continua a sorridere. Intanto io ti darò una mano a farti sudare e ridere come una matta con le cavolate che sparo ogni tanto ! Un Bacione e grazie a te del supporto !!! Ale :)

[@fhernandaduran8074]

I already have really strong calves and ankles but they are really bulky. Do you recommend doing this to get them leaner, or do you have any other tips/pieces of advice?

These exercises are fine for you and I highly recommend deep stretches to elongate the muscles at the end of the workout :) Love Alessia
