You are the one of very few on RUclips that understands active stretch...most get it wrong. Maybe because you are a dancer and you need a warm up not burpees and a stretch to help the body get loose. It is an art and you have it down. I feel so much better. Energized and fluid.
Alessia, would you make another one like this one for us?? These stretching workout is amazing, and we are getting addicted to it. Thank you so much for your generosity. You fill our training with joy everyday! Lots of kisses from Vienna.
WOWWOWOW! This stretching routine is so great!!! It's such a great substitution for my stretching class while being in quarantine. Greetings from Ukraine:)
Love these videos you did around this time. Love it when your kitties when they come in the videos, keeps me coming back. You are an excellent teacher, genuine, down to earth. You make me work hard and well, and always get a smile or a giggle out of me! Thanks!
Loved this, I normally just do hardcore yoga workouts, recently hearing about more active stretch type workouts so looked for one and found yours, then I need the next vid. Can’t wait to do more tomorrow, I’m really hoping I see more flexibility come from these as my progress is quite slow with yoga xxx
Thank you SO much for all your awesome Ballet workouts! Ballet barre routines are my absolute favorite workout secret weapon so I've loved finding your channel! You have such a fun, cute personality that keeps me smiling as I'm working out- keep up the great work, girlie!!
Wooohoooo!!!Thank you so much Emily! I'll make sure you have more secret weapons ready to do! I will definitely do few more barre workouts, Stay tuned! Let me know if there is anything you'd like to work on, I promise it'll be extra fun for you!! All the best Ciao Alessia :)
Dear Alessia, thanks for this stretching routine ! I am a complete beginner concerning the stretching, and I do not feel very comfurtable with all the exercizes you're proposing yet, but I am trying to do it, at my tempo, anyway, hoping it will get better ! However, I have a question concerning the last exercize of the routine, when the legs are crossed : I cannot do it at all, it's impossible for me to put my legs in a position approaching yours ! Have you a suggestion to achieve this position by other exercizes, or to do another one in the while ? Thanks to you ! Martin
Oh I just discovered your channel, this is so perfect! I'm an injured dancer and from time to time it can be rather lonely. Your videos are so diverse and your enthusiasm is so contagious! I'll be working out with your videos, thanks!
Don't feel lonely Jessyca! We've all been there. Take your time to recover and do something you have never done before, keep yourself busy, start knitting, read a book or paint during your time off. Don't rush back and look after your body! In the meantime i'll keep you smiling! Wishing you a speedy recovery! Ciao Alessia :)
I just recently came across your channel and I am so very glad I did! I was wondering if you could maybe do a how to do the splits video in the future. I absolutely love how you light up your workouts and make them so bubbly and fun! also, I did your ankle strengthening workout as I am starting pre-pointe next year and just by that once, I'm already feeling stronger, not to mention I was sore for about 3 days after!! keep up the great work! :)
+Faiitha Thank you lots for your kind words ! Keep doing the ankle exercises , if you can everyday, you'll see the improvement in no time ;) yes splits exercises are on the "to do list" as many people are asking about it! I really hope you guys will still like me even if I make you sore ! But hey, the important thing is to be sore with a smile ! All my love Alessia 😘😘😘🐒
You are lovely!! Thank you for your videos. Am just starting to get back into shape. You're very encouraging. Thank you and thank your cat - very patient! 💕
Hi Alyssa! I was just wondering, does this routine constitute a warm-up in itself or should it follow the warmup routine in another one of your videos? I'm just concerned about pulling a muscle and whether a prior warmup sequence is recommended before this active stretching routine. I love your videos - keep up the good work!
Hello Zubaidah, thank you for your message! Yes you can jump straight into it as i get you to warm up throughout the video, but if you want to get your body extra chewy, you can do a quick warm up or go for a run before hand. I've linked up a couple of videos that you can do to get your blood flowing very quickly. lazydancertips.com/workout/swan-lake-fitness/ lazydancertips.com/workout/active-warm-up/ hope it helps Ciao Alessia :)
I am far, far from a dancer (unless you count enthusiatic attempts at a traditional jig), although my limbs appreciate this routine. Thanks so much. : )
+Daniea3 attempts at traditional jig definitely counts !! Thank you so much for following and well done to you for doing the exercises !!;) all the best ;) Alessia
Can you pls tells how to engage abs.. Any tricks for that pls make a video on that so we vl know we are correctly engaging our core.. Great videos honey godbless u.
YOU ARE ADORABLE!!:! I LOVE YOUR STRETCHES AND FLUIDITY AND YOU TEACH TO THE LOWEST COMMON DENOMINATOR WHICH I REALLY APPRECIATE. LIKE THE SHORTNESS TOO! YOUR CATS ARE LIKE MINE; IN THE WAY BUT SO CUTE!
Because we do Yoga this was great for us, when we do her dance one's we have trouble keeping up with her. We love doing all her videos, it's time the Queen came back for another cup of tea Ha ha.
Hiya! Thank you so much for your videos. I wondered how you might put your videos together into a week programme that also had a few dance classes in it? Would you focus one day on arms and the next on legs or have you advice for how best to do this?
Lucy you read into my mind! I'm putting the weekly programs together and as soon as we get back to London we will put them up for you to play and do! Lots of different ones to enjoy! Stay tuned! Kissy and enjoy the rest of the holidays! ciao Alessia
This might be nice in an evening after doing some bit, but for a morning after your active warm up, going straight into those wide stances for so long... I don't think so good! Not for me at the moment anyway,... I think I'll revert to my standard pre-kickbag morning session and come back to this again.
Hello again! Yes maybe try to take it slowly and don't push it too much. You mentioned an old injury in another comment so make sure you listen to your body and when it tells you to stop then it's time for a hot bath! One step at the time and change exercises to suit your needs, some of these are for young dancers that would like to improve their technique, and if you see something that for you it's a bit over the top please skip it :) . As mentioned before let me know if there is anything in particular i can help you with,i'd be more than happy to video something to suit your needs ! Ciao Alessia :)
+Sanah Khan They can be helpful;) any exercise is good for re-activating abs and back muscles, which are the ones that sustain your back and protect internal organs. Try also the 5 min and exercises I have on the channel, that would be even better ;) all the best and let me know how it goes ! Ciao Alessia
+Sanah Khan Really ?!?😍 I'm so so so happy to hear that !!! Well done to you !!! Let me know if there is anything else I can help you with !! And yey again! Alessia
Do we need to warm up prior? "Active" suggests that the warm-up is built into the stretch but never heard about a workout that integrates stretching...
How true is the saying that a stretch needs to be at least 16 seconds to work? I’ve even heard 30 seconds. Thoughts? Not being critical of your videos at all; I love them! Just wondering if I need to pause to reach those 16 (or 30 seconds) or if that’s all bologna lol
Yolette, fair question! I always say it depends on how your body feels and how intense it is. Holding a position for too long is not the best thing. I personally like actively moving and stretching rather than a static position as for my body it's like working a dough and your muscles keep warm too. Stretching is a very personal thing and you'll soon learn what your body needs. :) Hope this helps :) Love Alessia
hi! I've just discovered your channel. I have over flexible joint and dance was recommended to me especially ballet for strengthening my knee joints. although my joints are hypermobile my muscles are not. What videos do you recommend to a begginers seeking muscle strength and flexibility. many thanks. . you have a wonderful energy
Hello! After reading your comment I created a video for strengthening knees. it'll come out very soon so stay tuned :D, in the meantime I highly recommend these lazydancertips.com/workout/how-to-improve-your-balance/ lazydancertips.com/workout/improve-your-ballet-legs/ lazydancertips.com/workout/how-to-strengthen-you-ballet-feet-guided-exercises/ lazydancertips.com/workout/how-to-improve-your-turnout-or-en-dehors/ Let me know how you get on with them!

Loved this! Will add this to my routine. :)
Your corrections are always spot on for when my technique is beginning to slip 😂
Sometimes I feel like she's spying on me, she always know when we start letting our abs or quads go and relax 😂
You know you've been with Alessia for a while when you stretch towards your feet and go "hello footsies!" 😄💕
Looove all your workouts!!
Thank you so much Simone !! :D:D:D
I’ve been really sore and this helped with the pain.
