I ordered all three (10/10, Super & Evolution Callanetics) from Amazon.com. Oh, no, I take that back...10/10 was from ebay! If you google "Callanetics DVD a lot of different sources will appear. Hope that helps!

I have just started doing Callanetics and have done three hours this week! I have to admit that I was sceptical at first - to say the least! But after reading your posts and seeing your pics it has really spurred me on! I am going on holiday in two weeks and I know that is a short space of time but is there any chance I will see a difference in this short time and if so how often would you reccommend I do it? Is it a bad idea to do it everyday?

[MissAbrakadabra]

you convinced me to order a callanetics dvd :-) I take pilates and modern dance classes and I take it that this is a great additional workout to be done at home.. As soon as it has arrived I will join the monthly challenges...

Hello everyone! I am doing a Squeeze rotation right now, but I am going to add Callanetics in there too. I enjoy that kind of exercise the most, but struggle with cardio. Great pictures by the way!

Also, has anyone done the newer Callenetics, one named "Evolution", and the other called "Cardio Callenetics"?
Thanks!

Hi everyone! Can I have a question ? :-)
Is the Callanetics works without diet or should I eat only healthy foods if I want to see the results ? Thanks! Well, the pictures are wery good! Great job!

Depends on your current body composition.

If you're fueling your body with crap and don't factor in good nutrition while trying to recomp your body, you will go nowhere, whether your goal is to lose weight or not. To get your body to "reshape," good/clean nutrition is KEY.

[MSE016]

Thank you so much!
And ...if I start Callanetics, (10/10) should I do 100-100 by the exercises ? Or at first less than 100? I want to do it 4 per week week.
Can you help me ?
Thank you!

[MSE016]

ohh sorry for the mistakes so... 4x1 hour per week. But I think I can't do 100 by the exercises at first.

Begin doing as many pulses as you can when you start. Form is more imp than quantity, so make sure you're focusing the energy on each muscle group and following form as much as you can. You will find that as your strength increases, so will the number of pulses.

It's an ongoing process of adding intensity and perfect form. Enjoy the ride!

Thanks for your useful advices!

Hi, Girls!
I love everything you have posted here - you are so inspiring!!!

I started with callanetics last week - however with a different workout which I think is more relaxed and easy for beginners. Today will be my 4th time, I will do oi two times more and then go in for 10/10. Êàëëàíåòèêà - Èíãà Äóáîäåëîâà [2006 ã., DVD5] :: torrents.ru This is the link to the exercises I've been doing now, can anyone share his opinion?

[Dilyana]

I also made my "before" photos, so soon I will post them with some after photos, let's see whether there is going to be any difference b/n them.. after all this thread is for before and after photos, comments, advices...

[Steadfast]

Twyla, could you post a couple of the carb rotation menus? Or direct me to a site? DH and I are going no where on Atkins this time. We eat very clean, too. ?? No Callanetics until possibly next week, but the knee is healing nicely so I am thinking I may start then and try the carb rotation..?

[LadyPeacock]

Just ordered my 10 in 10 dvd. Thanks for the inspiration!!

[Gintare]

It inspired me too, I'm doing 10/10 now. I don't have much weight to lose, but I want to tone my body, because it doesn't look too well. Just one question, do you sweat while doing 10/10? I did it today for the first time, but it didn't make me to put too much effort on it. Maybe I am doing something wrong, although I feel the tension while doing it.

[OurLuvsFromAbove]

i suggest really paying attention to what callen is saying during the exercises.. pay attention to where she says you should be feeling it and really focus on keeping posture, and the precise small movements..
callanetics is kinda like yoga, you may not feel it so much while you are doing it, but boy you feel it the next day..

[Gintare]

Okay, thank you. I hope I'll feel my muscles tomorrow.

while i dont have b4 and after pix i just wanted to tell everyone how callanetics has helped me fall inlove with exercise for the first time. i was never one to exercise, i was lazy and hated it something horrible. well i bought 10 in 10 on a whim and have had it for a while... anyway for march i made a promise that i wouuld do some sort of exercise every day in the month till it was a habbit.
i have been doing long strolls on my day off.. sometimes hubby and i walk upto 10 miles in a day pushing the stroller...

anyway so far in march i have done 7hrs of 10 in 10 and was changing infront of a full length mirror and almost fainted.. from having a child and being overweight i had a flap of skin right above my pubic line.. i came to conclusion that some day id just have to have it removed if i wanted it to go away. i mean i have always had a pretty decent belly cause since i was like 11 i been sucking it in and now it just stays.. lmao
well i looked down and the extra skin is almost gone and its almost totally flat.!!! i just about passed out.. ran into the livingroom nakid to show hubbby lmao...
i havent lost many inches yet half inch off my hips... and my weight has stayed the same... but mommy poof be gone!! its like magic taa daaaaa!

The magic of CALLANETICS + LOW CARBING = SUCCESS.

Great job!

Hi all. Just finished my 1st hour of this and feeling great. One question: the DVD I ordered from Ebay doesn't have the behind exercises in it! It's 10 in 10, and it shows the behind/line picture then skips right to the stretches...have I been scammed??? Or does the dvd not have those?

Thanks

[Steadfast]

Mine doesn't either. I thought the "leg" exercises were supposed to also work for the whole glute region..? Someone who knows will weigh in and tell us..?!?
My knee is healing nicely and I think I may try some exercises today without doing a whole DVD. Work up slowly..

[OurLuvsFromAbove]

the exercises that you do when you roll your hip up and kinda rest on your thigh with the barre infront of you, are the hip and bum exercises

[MSmythe2009]

I just checked with my book (the 10 in 10 original), and it has the similar version of what is described above but while kneeling on your knees as well (one with bent knee and one with straight leg. The DVD is also missing the open-and-close and the inner thigh squeeze.

Is this normal, then, to not have these on your DVD?

[OurLuvsFromAbove]

maybe the book has more exercises then the dvd? if thats the case I'd really like to get the book!

[MSmythe2009]

"kneeling on your knees???" Is there any other way to kneel?

Anyway, the two additional behind exercises from the book are the same as the seated, just kneeling (if that helps you). The description for proper form before beginning is to look as if you're water skiing (lean back with arms straight and pelvis tipped up).

If you want me to e-mail more specifics (instead of purchasing an additional item), I'd be happy to type more (and not bore the rest of the boards).

Thanks

[MSmythe2009]

Just to be sure before I contact the Ebay seller, all of your Callanetics DVDs only have the two "on the floor" hips/legs exercises? I don't want to start an incident, unless I HAVE to...
