Just finished my first hour. Can't wait for the next round. I really enjoyed it!! Had to skip a couple because of a knee problem but hope to work up to them soon.

I got the AM/PM and watched the AM today (without doing the exercises) to get an idea of it. Love the 80's style! Just a quick question... I obviously don't have a bar... but as for the furniture I use for support, does it have to be at a certain height (I'm 6'1") like hip height or other? Or is it just something to hold on to for dear life? On some of the exercises you have to lean over quite a bit (especially at the beginning to make it easier, which is what I'll be needing) so does the piece of furniture need to be lengthy as well?

Congrats to all who've had success with this work out, the pics are great!

Yes, it does -- or should be -- hip height. Or close to it. I would think leaning over too much would place unnecessary pressure on other parts of the body. Sandra or Ben may know...hop over to the March Challenge (or April when it begins) to see what they think. Best to you.

I'm DYING here! I've done two sessions of 10/10 (just last week), and I've not been watching what I eat (MIL's house - they love meat and sweets!), but...my measurements:

Bust: 36 (unchanged)
Waist: 32 1/2" (previous meas - 32 7/8)
Hips: 42" (42 3/8)
T/B: 47 (47 7/8 - how much the butt droops - made it up one day)
Saddlebags: 25 5/8 (26")
calves: 14" (unchanged)
Upper arms: 11 1/2 (11 3/8)

(my before measurements are in parenthesis)

I'm SOOOO very excited! This is GREAT! I'd better hurry and take "before" shots before I get too small!!!

WHEEEEE! (thanks for letting me share!!)

Synesthetic · 04-02-2009, 04:07 PM

I'm glad this thread is still going. It has inspired me to get back into callanetics, which I LOVE.

Thanks, everyone!!

bookwormmom · 04-02-2009, 07:52 PM

I joined here specifically to participate in this thread! I read about Callanetics on an Atkins board, I just read "Callanetics for the Back" that I scoped at a discount store, I ordered '10 in 10' on VHS, yet to be delivered, I just received the '10 in 10 ' book from Amazon today and have started reading it, and I did 'CallaneticsEvolution' dvd for the first time last night.

I am hooked. I was practicing 'pelvic waves' all day at work! Doing my squats 'triple slow motion.' I took some 'before' pictures, and will be seriously committing to this. I already feel more 'taut.' I am even sitting up straighter in my chair.. without even thinking about it.

Looking forward to sharing results!

veronicac · 04-09-2009, 05:02 PM

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

NurseMonkee · 04-11-2009, 11:04 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, 06:50 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, 12:13 PM

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!

OurLuvsFromAbove · 04-12-2009, 04:36 PM

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

karenann33 · 04-12-2009, 05:07 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.

NurseMonkee · 04-13-2009, 09:40 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, 09:46 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, 05:47 PM

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

bookwormmom · 04-14-2009, 06:10 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, 01:04 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.

OurLuvsFromAbove · 04-19-2009, 06:10 PM

im jealous that I didnt take pix first!

I hope im getting results like that and just dont realize! WTG!

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, 08:18 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!

NurseMonkee · 04-19-2009, 09:52 PM

Wow. Great progress, Bookwormmom.

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