Callanetics Vs. Lotte Berk

shealyn · 11-22-2008, 10:25 PM

Hello Everyone,

I am new to these boards (as a member) but have read several posts and viewed the callanetics before and after photos (you ladies look wonderful). I excercise 6 days a week (interval training on a treadmill and pilates) and have just added Lotte Berk and Bar method videos to the mix. I know that bar method and callanetics were both derived from lotte berk-- but is callanetics very different? I am also wondering if lotte berk and bar method are good places to start and then move on to callanetics.

Thanks everybody for taking time to read my post!

Aloha

Callanetics is really very different to Lotte Berk. It's also completely different to the new Lotte Berk DVDs. They really have very little in common. Callanetics uses a few similar positions to the original Lotte Berk technique from the late 70's but the whole concept behind it is totally different. Callanetics is totally unique and really stands out on it's own. I've tried so many different types of exercise and Callanetics is the one that works and works fast.

You don't need to do Lotte Berk or Bar before you do Callanetics. Just go straight into Callanetics.

Thanks for the advice! I will order the DVD's today. Any recommendations on which videos are best to start with?

The best are 10 years younger in 10 hours, or the Callanetics Evolution with Sandra Hanna.
