ok so I just bought the dvd version of Callanetics from amazon. Does anyone have any experience with this? all of the reviews were great but I am still skeptical! Any info would be great! Thanks!

anyone???

I am not familiar with this??  Did you spell it right??  I've heard of callesthetics (sp?) but not callen/?  can you put a link up to what you purchased then we can help??

Here is  the link, I hope it works! I ordered the super callanetics!

https://www.amazon.com/s/ref=nb_ss_/103-97443 20-6742269?url=search-alias%3Daps&field-k eywords=callanetics

oh man, you got super callanetics???  Is there anyway you can change your order to the beginner callanetics, or 10 years younger in 10hrs???  All of her workouts are big time killers - but they really do work.   When I started out, my legs would shake... and that'd only be from 10 reps lol!!!!  Body weight resistance is a great workout!!

If not.......... take that workout very slow!!!  I'd skip out on parts of it as well, until you build up strength.  Trust me... if you can stick with it, you will definately see results.  Make sure you really get the movements down properly - check out some second hand book stores and you'll probably find one of her books (10 years younger in 10 hrs is the best one)  and that will help explain further.

Ninja, Thanks for replying. They already shipped it but thanks for the warning to take it slow...I will. I want to get it right this time and do somthing that works. I couldn't get your link to pull up will you send it again please? Thanks,Amy

hi amy!  I don't know why the link didn't work, I hope this one works!  http://www.lowcarbfriends.com/bbs/exercise-bo ard/446399-callanetics-before-after-photos.ht ml

I was reading some of your other posts... about eating 1300 cals a day, ect, and lol about the vanity pounds as somebody put it... yeah, I'm in that boat as well. 

Callanetics will make you look like you've lost 10lbs, even if you gain 2-3lbs (muscle)

Try to find that book as well, all the second hand bookshops I've been to have it... hardcover and softcover... usually they will remember the cover - so if you can print out a colour copy of 10 years younger in 10 hrs (blue coloured)  you should find that book.

If you have any jiggle under your upper arms, callanetics will get rid of it.  Love handles, kiss them goodbye!!!  And I swear, it tightens your butt like you wouldn't imagine! lol!!!   You should take before/after photos because the numbers on the scale might discourage you, but seeing is believing!!!  Measurements for sure too! 

what the?? I can't get that link working, there is a space in the address which I tried to fix but.... yeah. 

Can you copy and paste the address into your browser, and fix that little space?  it's between the 'call anetics'

sorry I'm technically slow, lo!

ninja, THANKS so much!!! I loved the pics! THat really will help keep me motivated I hope! They are dramatic! I have love handles that I am really wanting to get rid of. I am hoping you are right and if I stick to it they melt away. I am thinking of doing this one hour routine 3xs a week and jumping on my mini tramp for 20 min 2-3xs a week( i love that workout...I guess you can call it a workout ha ha). DO you think that  this sounds like a good routine? HOw long does it take to see some results? Sorry lots of ?s

I haven't read/heard much about the jumping on the trampoline, but I know that callanetics works super fast,  after the first workout you will FEEL a difference, and after a week (3x a week) you will notice a tightness which you didn't know existed... Oh yeah, I was doing 30min of taebo and 1hr callanetics 5 times a week, and started to get those ab lines in about 5 weeks... Diet will play a role in your results as well, of course

Within 5 weeks... of 3x a week - that'd be 15hrs of callanetics you will see pretty dramatic changes.

You need to make sure that you maintain the proper form, a slight 'tip up' of the pelvis makes all the difference.  (You'll know what I mean when you watch the dvd)

But def. try and find that book!!  I'd send you mine, but I've lent it out (again)

I'm totally an advocate for this workout, lol!!!   I can't wait to read your journey through Callanetics!! 

Callanetics Before/After Photos

Hope this link works!!!

OMG thankyou so much! I can't wait to get started! Hopefully seeing results will help me keep it up! Those photos are so great too. I want to take my own....if I get up the guts haha! Thanks again!!!

:) 

No problem!!! Take photos - even if just for yourself to see the changes! 

I'm hoping to start back up with callanetics this week (just getting over the flu) so maybe we can be callan buddies, lol! 

oh that would be great! I am not going to tell my family that I am doing it and see if anyone notices. I would love to have someone to talk to about it and keep me on schedule! I should have mine by the 19th it said. I will let you know!

Absolutely LOVE Callanetics.  I got the very first VCR tape of it way back in the day.  I got my DVD about a year ago but before I could start it up again I got ill.  Very ill in fact and am just now back on my feet.  I lost about 80 pounds when I got ill, putting me severely underweight.  I've since gained weight back and ironically need to lose 15 pounds!  I have a lot of toning up to do and Callanetics just might be the answer. I hadn't thought about starting up Callanetics but think I'll put it in the player and give a try.  I ditto the comment.... take it slow!  It's a SLOW methodical work out and not meant to be done all rushed and herky jerky.  Take care of your body... don't push it.  You won't improve the results and make them happen any faster.  Follow the guidelines and good luck!

I would LOVE to try Callanetics, but I can't find the DVDs in Canada! Any ideas? Haven't found any exercises on YouTube either. :(

feydruss, you can get callanetics off amazon.com

Where in Canada are you?

Hi,

I did Callanetics years ago and haven't thought about it since I read your thread. I remember how much i loved it and how well it worked.  I have just ordered a callenetics dvd from Amazon. Would you like to start a new thread/challange regarding callanetics and success stories, to motivate each other and share all the inches we are going to lose !! It sound like a few people will be out there doing it.

Thanks and good luck,

It sounds like Callanetics has made a big difference to people who, before it, were basically sedentary.

Has anyone compared the results of Callanetics to the results of, say, a weight program?

I am not being a wise-a$$ here, I am sincerely wondering because this looks like something neat to try but I am currently doing weights so I'm wondering what kind of results I'd see. Might be worth it for the switch-it-up-a-little factor if nothing else?

 Unfortunately, they're not at amazon.ca. I can order off amazon.com, but I'll get dinged with major taxes and customs (damn you, Canada Customs!). So I was hoping to avoid that.

I'm in Alberta.

 

Honestly.... I don't think they charge customs/taxes on books.  I've ordered from amazon.com a lot.......... and I've never, ever had to pay anything other than book price + shipping.  Have you tried?  I am almost lead to believe that they will actually ship from the Canadian warehouse - even if it's a amazom.com order.... I'm basing this on the shipping times - I've gotten books from .com quicker than .ca many many times.......

Try it out!  And on a $20 dvd, customs wouldn't get too much would they? (if they do charge it)

Are your taxes different in Alberta?  I'm in Ontario...

Try ebay!
