amazing
i remembre first finding callanetics,about ten years ago,and i have to say after getting very big with each child,callan always brings me back to an amazing beautiful body.
Take your time and keep doing it!
I did callanetics at a gym about 6 years ago, and I remember dropping 1 dress size after only one month.Then life got in the way and I stopped doing it.When I saw this tape on Amazon, I had to buy it.I've been doing the tape for the past 2 weeks, and I have to tell you, I can feel my body getting firmer and more flexible.The exercises are hard, so don't let Callan's soft tone and slow pace fool you.Take your time and don't be discouraged.Some reviews complained about how boring the music and Callan are.I turn the radio on in the background while I do the tape to alleviate that problem.Slow and steady wins the race.Take your time, keep the right form, and you'll be fine.

Great workout video
I love Callanetics! I am very athletic and have extremely musclular thighs, I always have since I was little. So I don't like to workout with weights at the gym that much because I start bulking up even when I am doing lots of cardio. Anyways I started swimming and doing Callanetics and yoga and I really have liked the result. I feel as if my legs look a lot leaner more like a dance than a body builder. I also like doing the quick calanetic tapes if you just want to work on one troublesome area. Although this tape is 80's style Its definitely a keeper. Just watch your form when performing the exercises! Hope this helped and you get to meet all your summer fitness goals. :) ... Read more

The right length for an add-on
Many reviewers have mentioned that this tape is excellent for short morning and evening routines (as its name implies); however, I find the 20-minute length perfect as an add-on to my cardio routines so I tend to alternate one 20-minute workout each day (sometimes every other day). I prefer these to the Quick Callanetics set, as each AM/PM routine is a complete total body program unto itself. I do use Callanetics or Super Callanetics occasionally when I have more time, but this AM/PM program is my mainstay and in constant use. It works!

AS LONG AS IT'S DONE CORRECTLY....
YOU WILL DEFINITELY SEE RAPID RESULTS. Good short Callanetics routines
I recently tried Callanetics for the first time via the original 60-minute program.I loved the short, targeted, effective movements, but because it was difficult for me to find time to do the entire workout, I decided to give the AM/PM tape a try.The two 20-minute workouts on this tape include a majority of the exercises from the original video (some have been left out).Although the workouts are designed to be used in the morning (energizing) and in the evening (relaxing), the inclusion of moves in either the AM or PM routine seemed arbitrary to me.In addition, I found the 20 minute format to be a bit TOO short for my liking; just when I was starting to feel like I was getting a good workout, it was over.For some people, however, this time period might be ideal, and this video does offer a good introduction to the Callanetics method.As always, Callan is a gentle, supportive, and encouraging instructor who constantly reassures her students that they can go at their own pace.Callanetics is a great alternative exercise style to incorporate into your fitness routine, and if you are pressed for time, this video offers an ideal solution. ...

Great exercise routine for Fibromyalgia
The Beginning Callenetics routine is the best because it isn't too hard on your body, yet you see results. I've had fibromyalgia for 3 years and this is the first exercise routine I've found that I can do and not be "out of it" for the next three days. It should be out on DVD.

disappointed with the service of amazon.co.u.k.
I ordered this video Nov. 17 from amazon.co.u.k.I received it Nov. 24, only to have a blank tape, all I got on my screen was black and white lines.I wrote them an e-mail and returned the tape the next day, two weeks later I still have received no acknowledgement from them.I had this tape before and love it, it broke and I havn't been able to locate another one, so I resorted to the internet which was a mistake.

I Can't Believe Its Not Available
There is no doubt that all of the Callanatic exercise videos are simply the best and most effective tapes (not) on the market today.Someone's not paying attention.Check out ebay; old tapes are selling for mega bucks.These things should be reissued on DVD's.The sooner the better. ... Read more

Shivered me timbers!
I used this video for the first time yesterday-I do a 45 minute pilates mat workout every night and I thought I would add this one on as a "cool down."Maybe my legs were already tired from the pilates or maybe I'm jsut a wuss, but I couldn't make it further than the first 3 excercises, and only 50 of each rather than 100! And then my legs quivered when I stood up! This must work, because I could still feel wierd little tinglies when I got up this morning!
Great Video
Take my, and others words for it: This video works! I have but to do it four times and I already see/feel results. The exercises work your hips and buttocks so deep that while doing the vido you know that "you have been working hard after this" to quote another Callan video. However, just to let you know, you will need something of a barre, because all the exercises are done with one. Good luck and I would highly recommend this video!

Great way to focus on tough toning areas in only 20 minutes
In this short workout, instructor Callan Pinckney expands on the hips and behind exercises included in her original Callanetics video.This is a very different form of exercise, as the movements are small and precise but performed for a high number of repetitions (100 of each here).Read more

nothing new
Callanetics is wonderful, but I expected something more out of this video than the exact same exercises that are in the full video. As a matter of fact, the arms and abs section is right in the begining of the full video. Skip the quick series and just buy the video.

unique in many ways
Created and demonstrated by Callan Pinckney, this is a "no impact" approach to exercise. The video states that these exercises will "tighten the abdominal muscles from the breastbone to the pubis/release tension in the back of the neck/lengthen the neck/release tension across the shoulder blades/expand breathing capacity by expanding the chest/lift breasts by working the pectoral muscles/eliminate double chins/release tension and stretch the entire back". quick callentics for stomach
please contact me! Had an exercise studio for many years. nowI lovecalllentics and know it is the best program around. know there is a need to have a callentics studio in my large community! would like to trainand run a sucessful callentics studio here! THANKYOU, NANCY WALKER ... Read more

Incredible Results
I've been using Winsor Pilates, Jennifer Kries's Method Precision Toning and Method Precision Sculpting and Super Callanetics for the past 5 months.I went gradually from using Callanetics only once or twice per week to using it every other day because you just can't beat the results!The tape is so outdated in its style (hairdos, music, etc.) that I find it funny and even annoying because I watch it so much, but I keep on coming back to it because the results are SOOOOOO pronounced.You'll feel it right away, and if you keep doing it, it only gets better.I still find this video incredibly challenging.I can't do some of the exercises yet, and have to do fewer repetitions of others.And even then I can't believe the changes in my body.I've lost 3 inches from my waist (29 to 26 inches) and 4 inches from my hips (40 to 36), and my muscles are rock hard.In addition, I've always had really wide ribs, and now they taper down to my waist, making me look a lot slimmer.I don't do any aerobic exercise, but I can only imagine the results of the combination once I start!
always amazed
I have done this workout on and off for many years.I alternate it with another great workout based on the same principal. (chicometrics) It never ceases to amazed me at how effective it is!!! Super Callanetics is wonderful!
This tape is very advanced (so start with AM/PM or the original tape). However, you will get the best butt of your life! I haven't lost weight but the inch loss is impressive! Augment results with diet and aerobics and you could look phenomenal. For me the results have been mostly leg/buns but others swear their abs have miraculously improved as well. Try it - it's worth it! Get a used copy NOW! ... Read more

it is simply the BEST! july 14/2003
At the beginning i did not beleive that this tape would work out for me and oh boy was am i wrong or what? I tried so many tapes even yoga and pilates but never seen so fast results and radical change in my legs in such a short time. I have been using it for almost two months and my legs still shake and tremble everytime i use it. it works on your legs so deeply, so this 20 minutes tape is really the ONLY BEST THING ON THE MARKET. Buy it right now and do not even wait for a second. I have been using it for a month and the result are fantastic. I lost fat and my pants were so loose that I really looked great. Many men started complimenting me on how "fit" my legs and behind were. This tape will make you feel the best you could ever feel bec it delivers what it promises. What are you waiting for just buy it and try it. You will become an addict bec the results are so quick and visible that everyone will notice.GO AND BUY IT.

"it only takes one small movement..."
Callanetics is designed to be done slowly, with very small increments of movement, which make this method good for people of all ages, and at any level of athletic ability. firmed but didn't add bulk
This 20 minute video changed the way my legs looked and felt. My legs became thinner and firmer in very little time. I've turned all of my roomates onto this video and we all love it. I can fit 20 minutes into my schedule and I love all the stretching that is incorporated. You feel great when you're done. I would recommend this to anyone. ... Read more
