Average Rating: 
Rating:  - VERY remedial, but still good.
Although I've been doing advanced Callanetics for years now, I ordered a used copy of this tape just in case I'd missed something where form was concerned. At this point, I think I own every book and video ever produced by Ms. Pinckney and I've learned something valuable from ALL of them.
Unfortunately, I found "Beginning Callanetics" to be way too remedial for me; however, it's probably the perfect place to start for someone who is extremely out of condition due to advanced age, illness ... Read More
Rating: - 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.
Rating: - 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.
Rating: - Truly for beginners
The title of the tape is deceiving. "Beginning Callanetics" implies you are being taught the basics of Callanetics. What the tape really does is demonstrate modifications for exercises on the previously released tapes. It's really geared toward people who are totally deconditioned or have limited physical capabilities. This tape definitely wasn't for me but my 75 year-old mom, who has terrible back problems, absolutely loves it and swears by it.
Rating:  - major disappointment
You will have paid for an informercial - fully half of this video is a pitch for the whole series. the exercises are very good, but only briefly demonstrated, then you're left on your own to do them...You could do as well with a book. Given the amount of advertising you have to put up with, they should sell this for 50 cents a copy. Deservedly out of print!
