There's a smooth line now all along my sides. The third pic was taken Feb 2, and I had my top pulled down cause everything was so ugly. But, in the fourth pic, taken April 2, I wasn't "sucking it in", that's how my stomach looks, pulled in on the sides, front all gooshed together. I'm thrilled with the funny looking pulled in area. I realize I'm not making as swift as progress as I would if I were younger (yes, there IS a curse on your body @ 55!!

) but I WILL NOT give up.

Happyladi--Great job, I can definitely see your progress!

Thanks for posting your pics, they are inspirational.

Does anyone know if there is an age limit/restriction to Callanetics? My 6 year old dd watched (of all Callan videos) Super Callanetics with me and started to try to do some of the exercises. Obviously I would NOT have her do Super (I don't even do Super, I was just watching it to see what it's like) but she was very excited, she had the cutest sparkle in her eye. She sees magic already!

She currently takes 2 dance/gymnastics classes per week. Maybe I could start her on some of the very basic stretches and exercises??

Sandra has this great picture on her website (hope she doesn't mind me posting it). I would say Callanetics is suitable for all ages.

I do Elleptical every other day too!!! What a big change in me, help me to eat better and feel so much better. Thank you Twyla with all my heart for the great inspiration that you are.

Gigi, and Marsha, This feedback on your results and overall wellness totally completes "MY CIRCLE."

WATCH-ME-SHRINK · 04-09-2008, 04:01 PM

HappyLadi, great job! You shouldn't sell yourself short, either on results, or make concessions about your age! We are as young as we feel, and Callanetics is one sure way to not only make us LOOK younger, but feel younger! Thanks for sharing your progress with us!

Hi Twyla,

How would you, and everyone else with before and after pics, feel about sending your pics to US Callanetics?

I'd be honored. I owe my appreciation and life commitment to what Callanetics has done for MY THIGHS!!!!!!

missmattie · 04-09-2008, 07:06 PM

Happyladi you look great! There's hope for me (I'm 50).

happyladi · 04-09-2008, 08:27 PM

Thanks everyone, I really appreciate your comments. My comment about my age...I'm a very "young" person, no physical health problems, extremely active. However, there seems to be this hormonal thing that catches you without your permission and does impact your body's response to things, such as exercise. If I had a little weight to lose in the past decades, watch what I ate for a week or two, walked a little each day, and Voila! It was gone just like that. Now it takes a concentrated, vigorous, consistant effort and is very, very s-l-o-w. It happens, just not with the speed of other decades. That being said, the rehabilatative results have been speedy and lasting, and I feel SO much better, I can be very patient for all the other benefits I know will come. Sandra, I'd be glad to share my photos, I plan on taking more in June. There'll really be some changes by then, I just know it! Oh yes, completed CardioCallanetics just now. Yumm.

JayTee · 04-09-2008, 10:08 PM

Another hour completed. I am feeling good this week. Please tell me that I am not the only one breathing hard after the leg and pelvic exercises. I believe my form is improving because it really burned tonight and I worked up a sweat.

Great work, I will be 56 next month so I am in the same boat you are in, it will take us a bit longer I think.

You are not alone. I STILL breathe heavy with the pelvic segments. I love them. No complaints here!

Richie · 04-10-2008, 03:06 AM

I've started! Whoo!
I just completed my first hour!

I feel awesome in a shaky way! I'd forgotten just how well, lovely, Callan is!
I am aiming to do 2 - 3 hours of 10/10 per week. I did some measurements last night and after 10 sessions I'll re-measure (and maybe even post the results)!
