 Great Instructor August 31, 2008

I am very pleased with this cd. The instructor has got to be one of the best instructors that I have come across; she really cares about her students and has a passion in making sure that all her students are performing the routines correctly!
I started using this cd with my Fluidity Bar. I wish Callan was the instructor for the Fluidity program, but it's still very nice using the bar with Callan's cd. I am purchasing more cd's from Callan. She is AWESOME!

I started using DVD this last spring to get in shape for a cruise I was going on, and was astonished to see how fast it worked. If the other reviews make you think that only older people use this, forget it. I'm 21 and naturally slim/tall, but nothing has EVER toned me like this does. I love hiking and outdoor activity, so it's not like I'm out of shape, but these excercises seriously make me sweat.
About the only negative thing (depending on your disposition) is that sometimes, when Callan is yapping in her british accent about how HER behind is even HIGHER than the line, etc, and you're sweating and killing yourself trying to do a seemingly simple move, you may have the urge to throw something at her through your TV screen. I usually just settle for telling her to shut up. :) Honestly though, buy it, and use it 3 times a week, and you WILL see & feel major improvements!

THE GENERAL IDEA OF CALLANETICS IS TO DO THE STRETCHES INSPIRED BY PILATES OR BALLET AND TO HOLD THE POSE FOR A REALLY LONG SUPER STRETCH. THIS IDEA APPARENTLY LENGTHENS AND STRENGTHENS THE LARGER MUSLES AND IS SUPPOSED TO WORK QUICKLY.
WELL CALANETICS DEFINATELY IMPRESSED ME...ESP THE BEFORE AND AFTER PICS...AND HER BODY SURE IS GREAT FOR ANY AGE! BUT I FELT AWKWARD DOING THIS DVD..DID IT 4 TIMES (4HRS) REALLY FELT NO "RESULT".
WHEN I DO JUST 10 TO 20 MINUTES OF PILATES EVERY OTHER DAY..AFTER JUST ONE WEEK I WALK DIFFERENT AND FEEL TALLER AND TIGHTER...SO THIS DVD IRONICALLY ENOUGH INSPIRED ME TO GO BACK TO PILATES B/C I KEEP THINKING WOW IF I GAVE PILATES 1 HOUR WORKOUT SESSIONS I COULD MOVE MOUNTAINS!
I DO NOT REGRET BUYING THIS THOUGH B/C SHE STRESSED WORKING OUT THE LARGE MUSLES AND I HAVE LEARNED SOME NEW EXCERCISES I NEVER THOUGHT OF BEFORE. SHE ALSO HELPS ME WITH MY PILATES FORMS B/C CALAN IS SUCH A GREAT TEACHER AND REALLY EMPHASISES FORM I FIND MYSELF DOING BETTER FORMS WHEN I AM DOING PILATES.
I KNOW HOW QUICKLY PILATES WORK SO ONCE I GET FIRM QUICKLY I THINK I WILL RETRY THIS ONE...RIGHT NOW I AM OUT OF SHAPE AND CALLANETICS EVEN AFTER ONE HOUR MAKES ME FEEL TENSE, ANNOYED AND INCOMPLETE. IT IS QUITE FRUSTRATING WHEN I CANT DO THE STRETCHES AND DOES NOT FEEL LIKE IT FLOWS. WHEN I DO ANY OF THE PILATES DVDS...EVEN THE 10 MINUTES ONES...I FEEL INVIGORATED, ALIVE AND MOST OF ALL FLEXIBLE AND FIRM.

Callan Pinckney kinda cracks me up. But, she keeps me going. This video is pretty darn challenging. It took me until my 7th time to actually complete every repetition. And it worked muscles I don't usually work. I'm going to say this video delivers results. I also found this to be really relaxing. A nice relaxing video to do before going to bed
Just what I ordered May 17, 2008

I ordered an exercise cd of "callanetics". I had a vcr version years ago, and really enjoyed the program. It was exactly the same video, just what I wanted.
It was advertised as such, and I ordered it holding my breath that I would get what I expected. I did. Thank you very much.
