Callanetics

Summary: A workout that actually works!
Review: I have purchased just about every workout video known to man (Cindy Crawford, Denise Austin, Grier Childers, etc.) and have never seen results even after weeks of faithfully working out. Today is the third day I have used the Callanetics video and I already feel a difference. The workouts are targeted stretching exercises that focus on specific areas. The great thing about this tape is that the pace is steady and that Callan (the instructor) has a very relaxed and calm manner. I would say that the only downsides are that a) you will probably not see immediate results (she claims that it takes about 19 hours) and b) you will probably be a little sore after the first few workouts. I don't see a visable difference in my weight yet, but I do feel "taller" more relaxed after only 3 workouts. I highly reccommend this video for everyone.

Summary: Wow!
Review: As someone whos exercised faded with her school days, I'd been feeling more and more flabby and out of shape as time rolled on. Not being the type to be willing to wait for weeks to see results, Callanetics has been my answer! Yes, it takes determination (I had no idea that moving so little was so hard!) and yes the video quality is awful but the results are tremendous! Along with some of the other reviewers, I started seeing a triming and tightening, especially in my stomach and legs with in 3-5 sessions. I'm actually looking forward to swimsuit season - I mentor highschool girls so if I'm feeling confident with the results compared to those twigs, you know it has to be good!

Summary: I never would have believed it if I didn't try it myself
Review: I was very, very skeptical of all these wonderful on-line reviews. How could something so easy be so effective? Well, all I can say is I'M A BELIEVER!!After only 3 workouts I can see a difference. I have cellulite (ugh) on my upper back thighs and buttocks and after only 3 workouts, it looks smoother already. This tape is relaxing to me, no jumping around, no sweating buckets, and no frustration. Some of the moves are difficult on the first try, but it gets easier with each work out. I actually look forward to doing this at the end of the day. It's a great stress reliever. The day after following my first workout, my triceps were sore(I could never get my triceps to hurt with weights) and my butt was so sore, I couldn't cross my legs. It hurt to lift my leg. It was a good feeling, not a sore feeling but a burning sensation. I can't say enough good things about this video.

Summary: amazing workout
Review: This video workout is amazing. So many people think that a workout is all sweat and hard pumping. This video shows that with such small precise moves you can have results and in some cases quicker than the gym. I have seen such quick results that everyone is asking me what am I doing and I tell them Callanetics. I have already bought two more videos as gifts for others. It works all the muscles and tones and defines the body without the bulk. I have decreased my dress size by 4. It works from the neck down and she makes sure that you don't abuse your back. The stretching is crucial and feels wonderful. I recommend this video for anyone who wants to get results without all the jumping and pumping. Thank you Callan Pickney for creating Callanetics.

Review: Callen is very relaxing in her tone of voice. I like the way she moves around the room and shows common mistakes in doing the exercises and she shows what a difference it makes when done correctly. GREAT video. My husband was traveling for business for 3 weeks when he came back I had done Callenetics about 4 times he said he noticed a big difference and that I looked taller! Great great video

Summary: Not for aerobic stamina. If you want toned this is it.
Review: For toning there is none better than Callanetics, particularly if there is a problem with the beer belly. You'll never need to do another sit up again. Be warned the stomach exercise will require persistance. It is very, very difficult for those who have allowed adbominal slippage. However if you are tired of wearing your chest around your stomach it is very much worth the effort.

Summary: It is harder than it looks! Recommended!
Review: After looking at all of the glowing reviews of the Callan Pickney products on Amazon.com (books and video), I decided that I would purchase the regular Callanetics video. I have been using it for 4 days now and while I have not noticed any inches lost, I have felt wonderful each time I do it ( People have told me that it takes 19 wokout hours to make a significant change in your figure). It gives one such a feeling of calm afterward -- much like a yoga workout.

But, I wanted to warn viewers who may think that because this tape is not aerobic in nature, that the movements are easy. Don't be deceived...you will feel sore after the workouts, esp. if you are new to this type of exercise. With that said, I recommend the tapes highly because the workout is effective and challenging. Both of these qualities will keep the viewer motivated and excited about the workout.

Summary: I LOVE IT! =O)
Review: I wanted to leave a message of what I think about this workout...IT'S GREAT! My normal workouts were fast and intense, but after reading several reviews on Callenetics, I decided to give it a try. Am I glad I did! I couldn't believe that I actually saw a difference within A WEEK! The best thing was that I wasn't the only person who saw the results! It's slow and precise movements are awesome. The first time I did the hour-long workout...I thought SHOOT! This is EASY! HA! I DID feel it the next day! I couldn't tell you how many "inches" I've lost, but I can tell you that I fit into clothes that were stuffed in the back of the closet! =O)) Definitely give it a try, you will be happy you did! Best of luck & God Bless...Dawn

Review: Hi, just thought everyone should know how great the calanetics work-out really is. My husband is in the Navy, I started working out when he left. Within 3 months I went from a size 12 pants to a size 7. I have recommended this tape to everyone I know that has tried to lose weight. They all have had tremendous things to say about it! I don't believe in dieting, and with calanetics you don't have to diet. I eat regular food just like anyone else. This is by far the most wonderful work-out yet! Thank you Callan Pinkney!

Summary: Callanitcs
Review: In 1996 at the age of 26 I was hit by an 18 wheeler while on the back of a motorcyle. I was stupid and did not go to the doc, when i went I found out ny left hip had been fractured(I was in pain 24/7)I started to do Callantics because I'm scared to go to the gym and do more damage to my back. Ever since I started to do Callantics my back pain has gone away, when I stop doing Callantics then I really feel alot of pain. Do Callantics, your back will thank you for it.
