Callanetics

Rating:
Summary: Excellant
Review: I have already gone thru this tape twice (I wore them out), I'm ordering my third copy. It definately works! I can see results with a measuring tape immediately. I can also see & feel the results when I break the tape and can't exercise-I gain back what was lost after 2 years. I'm desperate to get the tape again & lose those inches again. I strongly reccommend it for the lose of inches and the difference in loss of back pain.

Summary: its the best ever
Review: I find that her video does not make you feel that you are moving around too fast and the soreness is a good kind, you can actually feel the movement from the inside out and its not a stiffness.

Summary: Relaxing but effective
Review: I greatly recommend this video for people of every age (my mother, who is 65 and had never practised any kind of phisical exercise before, feels stronger and more self-confident after doing it). Also those who suffer from cellulite might get relevant improvements: for example, by alternating acquagym (every 2 times per week) with Callanetics's exercises (every other day) for one months, my shape has improved a lot and my cellulite has almost disappeared. It's also so relaxing!

Summary: Energising & strengthening makes you feel completely relaxed
Review: I first tried the workout video Callanetics by Callan Pickney in 1988 and found it good but too slow for what I needed at the time so I put it aside. I have been working out to this video over the last couple of weeks and am finding it fabulous. My back and neck pains have gone, I now don't feel right unless I workout every morning.After I feel relaxed and invigorated. I can't believe that I have not rediscovered this tape untill now.

Summary: One of a kind!
Review: First of all, enough with beating up on Callan. I would love to take lessons from her personally. She is not boring. The tape is relaxing because it allows you to focus on the specific muscles being worked. Look at the amazing life she has led. Leave her alone. Second, I love this tape, I have had it for 6 years and the results are VERY quick. I would probably recommend supplementing other types of workouts along with this if you are trying to lose weight, but this is the foundation right here. It gives you a lean, lithe, strong-looking figure w/o all that annoying boyish bulk. Callan is a prophet sent from exercise heaven!

Summary: Back pain eased, stress relieved, muscles toned, this is #1
Review: Doing this video has literally taken away almost all my back pain!! I borrowed this tape at my local library and it has proven to be the best video I have ever used. Now I must own it and am looking forward to purchasing cardiocallanetics. Contrary to other reviews I have read, Callan Pickney does not annoy me. She is very calming and so confident in her belief of the results that you cann't help feel it working - and it does!! Rember the mind is a very powerful tool. The video is both relaxing and invigorating. The music is soothing. This video gives strength and flexibilty. It tones the muscles. I do believe she was ahead of the times with this type of workout. I actually look forward to working out with this tape!! Can you believe that?! I used to have back pain every day, not kidding. I have a slilght curve in my spine (also from tension and stress). This workout has lessen the pain incredibly. I have been telling everybody about it, because I cann't believe it myself. I was to doctors for the back pain and still nothing has helped me like this video. Except pain medicine. Living with pain in my back for YEARS and now by chance - these excerises have changed my life!! Thank you Callan Pickney for your expertise in this area. When is cardiocallanetics coming out??

Summary: It works
Review: I was going to the gym every day doing weight traing, aerobice, bike riding and yoga. 3 weeks ago I sprained my ankle and i started only doing Callanetics. I have slimmed down one size in 1 month. People say I look thinner, I know it's becasue these exercises work on lenghtening your muscles not bulking. It really is amazing. If you fast forward all the testimonies and pictures, it only takes about 40 minutes.

Summary: This has got to be the fastest way to tone your body ever!
Review: This has got to be the fastest way to tone your body ever. I started using it to combat the freshman 15 and it did wonders for my shape (particularly my stomach). It isn't an upbeat tape like tae-bo, but a relaxing yoga-type work out. You feel wonderfully stretched afterwards. I have joint problems and I've found this method of exercise to be incredible kind to my joints. I would reccommend this tape to everyone. Warning: the music is a really annoying new age harpish thing.

Summary: surprisingly effective and consuming
Review: This video has made me feel better about myself, and I am getting the results she promises. I got this tape by accident in a box of abandoned videos. Maybe it just hit me at the right time and place, but I feel that it's made an amazing change in my life. Caught someplace between a desire for stress relief and a need/desire for feeling better about myself, I am compelled to pop it in my VCR every other morning. Yes, she's kind of annoying. But after working through all the stretches with her, I feel energized and more positive about myself and my body than I have in a long time. Not having compared it with all other exercise videos out there, I can't say there aren't better workouts. But it sure works for me right now. I guarantee if you can stick with this routine for a few weeks that you will see results.
