Renowned for her transformative work in ballet and contemporary dance, Maria Angelica Caruso has created a groundbreaking fitness program that brings the elegance and discipline of ballet to everyone. Available now on Amazon Prime, the Bodiography Fitness and Strength Training System (BFSTS) offers a comprehensive ballet workout designed for everybody.
The Vision Behind Bodiography Fitness
As the Founding Director of Bodiography Contemporary Ballet, Maria Caruso designed the BFSTS to meet the unique needs of professional and pre-professional ballet dancers. This innovative program blends ballet alignment principles with traditional training techniques and unique exercise sequences, resulting in a mat-based class that strengthens and sculpts the body. Originally developed to keep Caruso in peak condition for her performances, the BFSTS has evolved into a versatile fitness system accessible to all.
What the Workout Entails
The Bodiography Fitness and Strength workout is a one-hour class featuring at least 20 minutes of focused abdominal and core work. Using various modalities such as balls, bands, and weights, Caruso provides a safe, motivating, and effective environment. Participants can expect improvements in:
- Balance
- Stability
- Core and full-body strength
- Range of motion
- Stamina
- Confidence
Each segment of the video includes personalized guidance and modifications from Caruso, ensuring accessibility for all fitness levels. The program emphasizes consistency and variety, targeting all muscle groups—including the abdominals, back, legs, arms, and glutes—while focusing on balance, flexibility, strength, and agility.

Proven Benefits
Thousands of participants have reported significant results after just one month of classes held twice a week. These benefits include:
- A long and lean dancer’s physique
- Improved posture
- Enhanced core strength
- Better balance and stability
The BFSTS is designed not only for professional dancers but also for former dancers and fitness enthusiasts who aim to rebuild their core strength and overall stability. The system’s intense abdominal work and sequential format ensure efficient and effective workouts that engage multiple muscle groups simultaneously.
Expanding Access
In addition to being available on Amazon Prime, the BFSTS is taught by over 100 trained instructors across the USA, with many gyms and dance studios offering live classes. An upcoming instructor training session will be held at the Bodiography Center for Movement on July 20th from 8 AM to 6 PM. Interested participants can register online at Bodiography Fitness and Strength.
A Philosophy of Wellness
Caruso’s commitment to health and wellness is reflected in Bodiography’s philosophy and systematic approach to fitness. Whether you’re looking to rebuild your fitness, rehabilitate or prevent an injury, or seek accountability and support in your fitness journey, the BFSTS offers something for everyone.
