Ballet targets smaller muscles that you don't often use - instead of working your quads, it works the inside and the back of your leg.
Quote by -Mary Helen Bowers
The muscles that are used in Ballet Beautiful are similar to those used in classic ballet. They're also muscles that don't get used very often, which is why it burns so much.

Quote by -Mary Helen Bowers
On weekends, I do brunch at home: whole grain bagels, lox, avocado, eggs, and organic bacon.
Quote by -Mary Helen Bowers
For ballet dancers, style is about melding personal expression with physical form.
Quote by -Mary Helen Bowers
Working out should be empowering! It should make you look and feel strong, elegant, healthy - the best possible version of you.
Quote by -Mary Helen Bowers
I launched Ballet Beautiful not long after finishing at Columbia and met Natalie Portman shortly after. We began training and preparing her for her role in 'Black Swan.' From there, I continued to build and expand the method itself along with the business, always looking for ways to share the workout with others around the world.

Mid-afternoon, I snack on Greek yogurt with nuts or a green juice from Juice Press.
Quote by -Mary Helen Bowers
I had the opportunity to train with Natalie Portman for 'Black Swan,' and the program we created was intense and involved a lot of travel.
Quote by -Mary Helen Bowers
Generally, I snack on lots of fresh fruit and raw nuts, such as almonds.
Quote by -Mary Helen Bowers
I like to customize my tights by cutting them myself to create a stirrup or convert the look into a capri.
Quote by -Mary Helen Bowers
I've found the entire process of being pregnant to be such a miraculous, beautiful time.
Quote by -Mary Helen Bowers
The image of a pregnant woman embracing her figure and really putting it out there can be scary to some people, but I don't let that stand in my way, and I don't think other women should either.
Quote by -Mary Helen Bowers
Ballet Beautiful is about finding balance and making fitness a part of your life in a happy, healthy, rewarding way where you get to feel pretty and look beautiful. It's not about beating yourself up in the gym and locking yourself in a dark room with blasting music.
Quote by -Mary Helen Bowers
Ballet Beautiful is a workout that transforms the body without overtaxing the system or joints.
Quote by -Mary Helen Bowers
Because I dieted so much in the past, I just can't diet again. It's something I don't want to do and I don't even know if I am capable of. I think it's a much healthier and happier way to live.
Quote by -Mary Helen Bowers
Making fitness a priority will energize you, make you look and feel better, and help diffuse stress.
Quote by -Mary Helen Bowers
The idea for 'Ballet Baby' started when I was going through my own pregnancy.
Quote by -Mary Helen Bowers
With ballet, you're really focused on the inner thigh and butt and just lifting and lengthening everything, including your arms. You're not using weights, but holding up the weight of your own arms is a challenge.
Quote by -Mary Helen Bowers
In yoga, you hold the positions, whereas in dance, you're constantly moving, extending, reaching through the legs and arms, which helps build long, lean muscles as opposed to shorter, tighter ones.
Quote by -Mary Helen Bowers
I think being in the right mindset is a huge challenge for women, who often take an all-or-nothing approach to working out or eating well.
Quote by -Mary Helen Bowers
Have something that you enjoy, that satisfies you. For me, that is dark chocolate, red wine, and cheese. But make room in your life for vegetables and whole grains to nourish your body.
Quote by -Mary Helen Bowers
If you don't have the time or money to get to the gym, work out at home. It saves tons of time and makes life more efficient.
Quote by -Mary Helen Bowers
I try and get as much sleep as I possibly can, although it's harder with a baby.
Quote by -Mary Helen Bowers
Sometimes people feel really trapped by the body that they have. Women are told, 'You have this body shape; you're a pear or string bean, and you can't change the way you look.' That's just not true.
Quote by -Mary Helen Bowers
When you're not experiencing your food, that's when it's harder to pay attention to when you're full, and that's what being satisfied really means.
Quote by -Mary Helen Bowers
My style is a little '70s and classic old Hollywood. I incorporate a lot of vintage, bohemian blouses paired with a good wedge.
Quote by -Mary Helen Bowers
Could you physically lose 10 pounds in 2 weeks? Maybe. But there's no way you could do that in a healthy way or that you could maintain it.
Quote by -Mary Helen Bowers
One of the big things, especially if you're eating out frequently, is either splitting an entree with someone or ordering a protein-heavy appetizer for an entree, like a salmon or steak tartar. If I'm dying for a burger, I'll get the burger but have it with salad instead of fries and a glass of red wine instead of a beer.
Quote by -Mary Helen Bowers
It's not realistic to say never eat sugar, but I try to limit my sugar as much as I can to buckwheat honey and dark chocolate, which I love.
Quote by -Mary Helen Bowers
The changes that your body goes through during pregnancy are so radical, I've really tried to embrace and celebrate my new body, and hopefully I can encourage other women to do the same.
Quote by -Mary Helen Bowers
My company, Ballet Beautiful, is built around celebrating the strength and femininity of the female body - for me, pregnancy has just been an extension of that.
Quote by -Mary Helen Bowers
For the hair, a few French hairpins and a tortoiseshell clip will dress up any bun!
