Tone it with ballet

This graceful ballet-inspired workout gives you ballerina like feels.

This workout  involves ‘micro movements’. These  graceful bird-like moves, say experts, force you to stay in contraction, making maximum use of muscles which help burn fat. What makes it even more popular is that it can be done at home. So, if you are looking to work that stubborn fat on the lower half of your body, a 30-minute ballet routine is all you need. Here are some popular moves. 

A semi fold

Face a bar. With knees slightly bent, hold the bar and walk back until body is at a 90 degree angle at your waist. Rest your head on the arms. Extend your right leg straight back with your foot flexed. Make circles with the leg. Repeat the same movement with the other leg.

Straight leg

Stand with your right hand forward on the bar, knees slightly bent and heels together. Wrap your left arm around your waist and grab the bar. Extend your left leg diagonally back with your toes pointed. Lift and lower your left leg a couple of times. Make circular movements. Repeat the same pattern with the other leg. 

Seating fit

With one hand on the bar and the other on the hip, turn your toes out slightly and bend your knees. Push hips back, like you are sinking into a seat, till you reach the knee level. Rise on toes, then lower and raise an inch.

Extension parallel

Stand with your back at a fist’s distance away from the bar, feet hip-distance apart, knees slightly bent; reach back with wide arms and grab the bar. Extend your left leg (knee towards ceiling) and flex your foot. Do the moves for 30 seconds each. Now that you know the ropes, try them to remain fit.

  • About Us

Times Newspaper in Education (Times NIE) is a novel program that helps students ‘Stay Ahead’ and aims at making ‘Learning Fun’. It introduces concepts that help individual growth and development beyond school curriculum.

A brainchild of The Times of India, the world’s leading English newspapers, Times NIE nurtures progress and innovation. Adapted from the international concept, Times Newspaper in Education program (Times NIE) was initiated in India in 1985.

Today we have over 3000 schools and over 9 lac students subscribing to the programme, spanning 16 cities viz. Delhi, Mumbai, Pune, Bangalore, Kolkata, Chennai, Hyderabad, Ahmedabad, Kochi, Lucknow, Coimbatore, Chandigarh, Dehradun, Vijayawada, Visakhapatnam, and Jaipur.

The Times of India Student edition, a customized student newspaper exclusively for the students, packs a powerful punch in terms of content that leads to a smarter and superior learning experience. The information is crafted such that it finds use in classroom discussions, thus making it relevant and current. It truly gives education a new dimension by fostering the simple habit of reading which in turn paves the way for a confident, informed and aware individual. A newspaper that inspires young minds and equips them to face challenges of today’s world, making way for global citizens.

Empowering students with new cutting-edge knowledge through various educative and informative activities is a commitment and tradition of Times NIE. The programme serves as a catalyst of education and interaction, as well as a window into the minds of the quintessential Indian youth. On a significant scale Times NIE comprises diverse interesting activities and events that boost the child’s passion for learning, while revealing hidden talent.

While you are aware that The Times of India is among the leading English Newspapers across the world, it has consummated its position as an everlasting winner. With several international awards and recognitions to its credit, The Times of India and Times NIE have validated an enduring tradition of setting the highest benchmarks in every respect. We have been awarded with the two most prestigious awards, Times NIE - World’s No.1 NIE program and The Times of India, Student Edition - World’s No.1 Newspaper for the youth in 2006 by the celebrated World Association of Newspapers (WAN). In 2008 we were honoured by the International Newspaper Marketing Association (INMA), yet another international recognition for ‘Youth Audience Development’. In 2013 we were again honoured by the celebrated World Association of Newspapers (WAN) as the ‘Times NIE - World’s Best Youth Engagement Program’.

Times NIE has grown remarkably over the last three and a half decades, touching millions of children across more than 16 Indian cities. Our absolute commitment towards the fledgling generation remains undiluted and our greatest strength lies in the school partnership and commitment.
