Rating:  - best exercise tape for getting in shape FAST
Callanetics is my all time favorite exercise routine. Everything that others have said is true - it really does work fast. So fast, in fact, that it almost seems too good to be true. Yes, the exercises are hard (they get easier over time as your body becomes stronger). They are slow movements (to someone else you might often appear to be hardly moving at all), but they are DEEP movements. And they show results faster than I have ever experienced from any other type of exercise. I think the tape describes the experience as: all of your muscles (especially abdomen, hips and thighs) "pulling up" together so your body becomes longer and leaner. It also claims in the book (if I'm remembering correctly) that one session of Callanetics will change your shape in the same way that 20 hours of aerobics will (the pictures in her book give examples of this, and they are amazing.) I believe it. I dropped 2 pants sizes in a month doing this routine. I'm not sure exactly how often the tape/book recommends doing the routine (I think 2-3 times per week in the beginning, and then once a week for maintenance). I've found if I need a jump start, however, that doing the tape every day or every other day in the beginning produces some amazing results. I give this routine my highest recommendation. If I could shout Callan's praise from the rooftops I would. If you are on the fence about buying this, stop hesitating and BUY IT. NOW. You will not regret it!

Rating: - Simple but Amazing
I've done pilates off and on for the past six years. I've also done yoga regularly. However, neither of these have given me the rear end that I aspire to. I've done this callanetics program only four times and I can already tell a difference. The only down side to this is that she isn't as clear as I need her to be on where I should feel it when doing the rear end exercises. Regardless, given the results, I'm amazed this hasn't become as popular as Pilates.
It seems kind of boring at first if you just watch it, but for me, when I focused on the movement and my muscles, it becomes anything but boring. Closest thing to magic I've found. And it's March, so just in time for that Bikini bottom! (I'm in my late 30s so this is a critical time for getting in shape - wish I'd had the patience for this when I was younger...)

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.
what does it take ?repetition,and hey repetition is the mother of skill.each time you practise it will feel different,as it works so very deeply.
i wish everyone would have a go at just ten hours of callanetics,to realy witness the amazing changes within themselves,spiritually and physically.its meditation with movement.
Rating:  - 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.
