Alice in Wonderland Uses a Great Fitness Strategy

Mia Wasikowska played Alice and she has outdone herself. Don’t you think she has a ballerina look? Actually, according to FitCeleb.com, the actress confessed she was doing almost 35 hours of ballet, weekly.

For those who don’t know, let me tell you a secret: ballet is great for a fitness program. Fitness ballet aims to increase flexibility, improve and maintain fitness for all ages, improve posture, lengthen muscles, increase overall strength, and improve core stability.

Another benefit of ballet is that when you challenge your body with ballet moves, you keep your mind sharp as you multitask. The brain power is used to remember combinations and to synchronize the movements so they could match the music.

Ballet uses almost 50 stretches and exercises which are more intense than yoga. Ballet fitness helps you achieve a firm bottom, stomach and lean legs. Even the basic warm-up plie – which is a rotation of the legs with hips, followed by bending the knees - puts your muscles at work.

Mia Wasikowska played her role with professionalism and her fit body helped her give Alice even more splendor. Those hours of ballet helped her looked so good and it would help you too if you give it a try.
