We're warming up
We're taking a short pause while Ballet With Isabella steps into something new. Same world-class training. A bigger mission behind it. This next chapter is about more than ballet. It's about how you train, and how you show up – in and out of the studio.
We'll be back soon. In the meantime... keep it moving
- 32 calf rises each leg! – keep it slow and controlled
- 30 glute bridges – lengthen through the floor
- 1 minute plank - embrace the shakes!
- 4 x 30 second balances in retiré each side – if you fall, we start from the top!
- Practice your pirouettes from 5th and 4th each side. Try each turn until you feel 1 percent progress
- An arabesque each side – master it, and make it clean
- 1 minute butterfly stretch – breathe, don’t force, keep your back long and actively push the knees out
Welcome to Mat Madness: your 14-day challenge to get stronger, sweat smarter and feel back in your body.
This is for anyone who’s ready to make a change but just can’t seem to find the rhythm. You want to feel stronger, fitter, more focused. But motivation? Discipline? They don’t always show up. That’s where we come in.
Across two weeks, you’ll be guided through a no-fuss program that gets results. Each day is themed to work a specific area – glutes, abs, arms, hamstrings, turnout, core – and every workout is built to be completed in under 20 minutes. No guesswork. Just press play and go. This isn’t about doing it all perfectly. It’s about showing up, one mat session at a time. Let’s make momentum your new normal.
- How to build strength with short, consistent daily workouts
- Targeted exercises to tone and condition dancer-specific muscles
- Glute activation for turnout and stability
- Deep core control to support balance and flexibility
- Daily movement habits to reduce stiffness and build stamina
- How to create workout consistency that actually sticks
