Synopsis

The celebrated ballerina and role model, Misty Copeland, shares the secrets of how to reshape your body and achieve a lean, strong physique and glowing health.

Misty Copeland believes "There has been a shift in recent years in which women no longer desire the bare bones of a runway model. Standards have changed: what women do want is a long, toned, powerful body with excellent posture." In other words, the body of a ballerina. In her first health and fitness book, Misty will show women how to find the motivation to get healthier and stronger, and how to reshape their bodies to be lean and flexible, with step-by-step advice, meal plans, workout routines, and words of inspiration.

Celebrating the importance of healthy fats and a fitness regimen based on ballet exercises, Misty shares her own time-tested exercises and an eating plan focusing on healthy fats, both of which keep her in top shape. Tips for motivation and words of encouragement as well as tips on how to keep going even when you may want to give up. An inspiring section on the importance of finding mentors, and eventually being one, plus excerpts from Misty's personal journal, round out this important book on grace and strength.

About Misty Copeland

Misty Copeland made history by becoming the third African American ballerina for the American Ballet Theatre, the first in decades. A recipient of the Leonore Annenberg Fellowship in the Arts and an inductee into the Boys and Girls Club Alumni Hall of Fame, she currently lives in New York City.

Goodreads review by Jessica on March 05, 2018

I picked this up more for an inspirational read than for diet and exercise advice; and I got exactly what I was hoping for in this book. Misty Copeland is an inspiration for her talent and commitment as a dancer, and for what she has achieved at such a young age. She is also changing the definition......more

Goodreads review by Jenny on April 06, 2017

Mostly fluff but what did I expect. The exercise section seriously needs more pictures and better explanations, but I suppose one should go to a real ballet class or watch a video for that sort of thing.......more

Goodreads review by Gina on May 07, 2017

I am torn. Like many, I think that Misty Copeland is amazing. There is no denying her place in history, however, this book does not offering anything new in the realm of health and wellness. Is there anyone who is not aware of the importance of healthy fats in their diet? Is the mind-body connection......more

Goodreads review by Lauren on June 01, 2020

I love Misty Copeland. She is very inspiring and her book did not disappoint. I enjoyed how she wrote about her childhood and shared inspirational stories, while also sharing guidance about living a healthy lifestyle. As a former dancer, Misty’s book sent me back to my ballet days. Those days of foc......more
