CALLANETICS BEFORE & AFTER PHOTOS - Page 6

veronicac · 04-09-2009, 04:02 PM

Bump any new pics for us being reintroduced to callan?lol..

Monkee · 04-11-2009, 10:04 AM

Wow you all look amazing and have done such great progress!

I was looking to add something new to my workout routine.
I am definately ordering the 10 in 10 DVD right now

bookwormmom · 04-11-2009, 05:50 PM

The difference is not huge, but it is there. This is after 5 hours. It should probably be labeled 4 hours as I know my 'form' was really terrible the first time! Thighs are a little sleeker.. butt is lifing. YAY!

Yep,you can definately see a difference,well done and only after 5 hour's or so

bookwormmom · 04-12-2009, 11:13 AM

Thanks, teenager is doing it with me, she is on no diet of any kind as she is normal weight, but check her 4 hour results.

Don't tell on me for posting these, she'd be mortified, but she is thrilled with her results! Bum is reshaping and look at that flat belly!

Kerry · 04-12-2009, 03:36 PM

wow way to go with you and your daughter!
I can't wait to see pix after 10 hrs!

karenann33 · 04-12-2009, 04:07 PM

Ok I'm inspired you got me. After 2 weeks of induction I finally have my energy back to exercise. I ordered am/pm callenetics and am bidding on super. Will probably go get 10 in 10 too since it's so cheap.

Monkee · 04-13-2009, 08:40 PM

I just ordered the 10 in 10 DVD.
Is that a good place to start? Or should I get something else, like beginner callanetics?

I see a lot listed... AM/PM, Beginner, Super, Evolution, 10/10.

Are they all the same? Or should they be done in a particular order?

Thanks for all the help.

bookwormmom · 04-13-2009, 08:46 PM

I have 10/10 and Super and Callanetics Evolution. I have not tried Super yet.. regular is still kicking my booty. I like Evo, but daughter likes 10/10 so that is what we have been doing. Be advised.. you don't have to have a barre. You can do the 'peachy bum' exercises leaning on a forearm and personally I find it to be more stable, I have a footboard on my bed that works for the standing exercises but you could use the arm of a couch etc.

I personally think anyone could start with 10/10. You won't know quite what you are doing at first but you'll catch on! Enjoy!

planetbenjamin · 04-14-2009, 04:47 PM

FANTASTIC results! And in only 5 hours. Don't you just love Callanetics!

bookwormmom · 04-14-2009, 05:10 PM

Thank you sir, I do love callanetics! I find I can do so many of the exercises throughout my day. I can do tippy toe squats with my fingertips on a counter for balance, I even held to a bar in the pool today, braced my knee on the side, rolled my other hip forward and pulsed out my legs! In the pool I hold the water dumbells stretched behind me and bicycle forward, instead of pulsing up I am having to pull down because of course the weights want to go up. It really works my arms. I love feeling so limber and strong!

bookwormmom · 04-19-2009, 12:04 PM

This photo is a week's worth of added (subtracted rather!) progress, 3 more hours of Callan!

Ok wow just wow thats absolutely amazing bookwormmom. Now I really can't wait to get my tapes here. Super showed up but I don't want to start with that one.

You really are disappearing.

Kerry · 04-19-2009, 05:10 PM

Wow your results are amazing, I can really see a big difference. Everything is slimming down. Have you went down in shirt size because your arms are so much smaller now. For instance in the second pic the underarm area is hanging but in the new pic it is straighter across. You are firming nicely. Keep up the good work, I only HOPE to get results like yours. Thank you for posting.

bookwormmom · 04-19-2009, 07:18 PM

Oh goodness I didn't even notice that. Thanks for pointing that out, I guess those arm tightening exercises really work! I do a variation of them in the pool, I hold the water dumbells behind me and bicycle around the pool, it is a little different because in the dvd you pulse the arms upward, but in the pool you have to keep pulling the weight down because it tries to float. I was really feeling the work in the arms, but you are right, it is creating results up there too!

Monkee · 04-19-2009, 08:52 PM

Wow. Great progress, Bookwormmom.

I am so excited now!
I got my 10/10 DVD on Saturday.
Will be trying it tomorrow morning.

Loving the new photos.

I'm restarting callanetics to get my beach body ready for the summer. I put in 23 hours (or so) and had great results but got lazy. Thanks for reinspiring me.

karenann33 · 04-20-2009, 03:09 PM

I'm soooooo inspired. My 10/10 came in the mail today and by gosh I'm doing it TONIGHT!!

jiggles · 04-21-2009, 02:15 PM

Ya'll are making me want to give this a go again with all your great results!

I know it works but I can never seem to stick to it because I end up bored and thinking the workout takes so long.

karenann33 · 04-21-2009, 02:47 PM

See I just did my first workout and I think it can't work because its too easy. I found it kinda relaxing. Not sure how I'll feel after 10 hours of it but we'll see.

Jiggles

I am the world's worst at commiting, because I need to see result's quickly and therefore, I am so impatient.
45 Min's .minus intro,after you get to know how thing's are done,and the best result's ever,and, as you say,you know its work's.
Give it another go and join the challenge,nothing to lose but inches and a lovely bunch of peep's to keep you inspired.

Happy pulsing

Maria

bookwormmom · 04-21-2009, 04:30 PM

I replied on the other thread.. yes it is very relaxing! It still works though!

healthmom · 04-21-2009, 09:03 PM

Hello all,
I am new here. I have been following the threads but have never joined in. First of all, I'd like to say congratulations to everyone who is getting outstanding results with these exercises. I can't believe some of the pics. WOW!!!

Now, I have some questions. I have been doing 10/10 for a little over a month now, probably about 30 hours or so total. I am not seeing anywhere near the results others are seeing in just a few hours. This is very frustrating. I won't say I haven't gotten any results but they are very, very minimal. Nothing is fitting any different, cellulite is about the same. Although I have actually lost about 5 lbs since starting, which I have not been able to do the last couple of years no matter what I do. That, I can say is the only real accomplishment I have had so far.

So, my question is: I have always wondered about my form and if I am doing it correctly, feeling the muscles working where they are supposed to be, etc. etc. How do I go about finding out the answers to these questions?

I do know these work because I did them back in high school. But even then I don't think I was getting the quick results some are getting. Although they were quicker than they have been this time around.

I apologize for the length of this message and hope I am posting this in the right place. Thank you to all who are able to respond.

4cats1house · 04-24-2009, 05:57 AM

This thread is an inspiration - I come here to see the results and it gives me hope that someday (soon) I will be in better shape.

I did 10 in 10 (VHS) years ago and need to get back to it. I did see results but then stopped doing it for some stupid reason.

I ordered the DVD version and will start as soon as I get it.
