I hope you&#8217;re having a great day! Here&#8217;s a quick post to hold you over for a little bit.

Get a head start by learning the exercises that these world-class dancers do on the daily basis. Men&#8217;s Health Extreme Fitness and ABC News correspondent Chris Cuomo recently stopped by the Ailey studios to work out with 15-year Company veteran Glenn Allen Sims to get &#8220;long and strong&#8221; the Ailey way.<\/p>\n<p>Glenn teaches Chris exercises derived from the Horton technique, a dance form created by Alvin Ailey&#8217;s mentor Lester Horton and used in some of Mr. Ailey&#8217;s most memorable ballets, including <i>Revelations<\/i>.<\/p>\n<p>Watch the video and follow Glenn to learn how to develop a dancer&#8217;s jumping power, strong core, and flexibility with these exercises:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><b>Table balance: <\/b>Increases core stability and strength in the glutes and standing leg<\/li>\n<li><b>Leg lifts:<\/b>&nbsp;Engages quadriceps and abdominal muscles<\/li>\n<li><b>Coccyx balance: <\/b>Engages both sides of the lower abdominal muscles<\/li>\n<li><b>Primitive squat: <\/b>Balances body and engages gluteus<\/li>\n<li><b>Spring jumps: <\/b>Increases leg muscle strength and power&#8221;<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>\nBy the way, Glenn Allen Sims is my favorite dancer&#8217;s husband. =) There&#8217;s gonna be a quick ad.
