I'm in. I'm aiming for 3 times a week.

vfCookie · 12-01-2008, 06:31 AM

I'm in and shooting for 2 this week since I have Irish Dance tonight.

CallanFan · 12-01-2008, 07:37 AM

I'm in for 3 this week. Cookie, I can so see you Irish dancing

.

siamesegirl · 12-01-2008, 08:42 AM

CardioCallanetics done!

CallanFan · 12-01-2008, 11:39 AM

CardioCallanetics done, both cardio & toning. Going to try to do both sections at least 2 of the 3 times per week. I always forget that the toning section is not as long as the full Evolution, so it's not so hard to do both.

LoriMarie · 12-02-2008, 03:58 AM

I'm in for twice a week....once my dvd arrives...anxiously awaiting.

planetbenjamin · 12-02-2008, 04:09 AM

First session done for this week.

siamesegirl · 12-03-2008, 07:45 AM

Cardio part only this morning!

CallanFan · 12-03-2008, 10:48 AM

CardioCallanetics done, both sections, 2nd time this week.

Danipower714 · 12-03-2008, 04:09 PM

I'll be joining you guys on this challenge soon...my DVD is set to arrive any day now.

kelliebel · 12-03-2008, 04:13 PM

I'm in

vfCookie · 12-04-2008, 10:29 AM

Evening all, got in my session of Cardio & toning tonight. Aiming to do #2 for the week on Saturday. The Irish dance lessons were great fun and exhausting. You basically never stop moving, my knee and hips were not happy with me. I can only do this kind of thing once every 2 weeks. Thank heavens I found Callanetics or I would just be a lump on the sofa.

siamesegirl · 12-05-2008, 05:41 AM

30 mins of CardioCallanetics done early this morning!

vfCookie · 12-06-2008, 09:28 AM

Got in my goal for the week... I just completed my second complete session of CardioCallanetics including the toning section. Yippee.

CallanFan · 12-06-2008, 09:52 AM

Cardio section only done. Met my goal of two cardio only, one cardio plus toning.

planetbenjamin · 12-06-2008, 11:01 AM

Geeze I really haven't done very well this week. Only one session so far. Tomorrow is Sunday and I finally get a day off work so I will definitely do the full Cardio program.

same here!

hoping to do cardiocallanetics and a yoga class tomorrow

Danipower714 · 12-08-2008, 07:23 PM

I'm planning on doing my first hour of Cardiocallanetics tomorrow.

vfCookie · 12-08-2008, 09:16 PM

yay Dani! So glad you're here. You're the reason I got all addicted to this Callanetics thing anyway.

LoriMarie · 12-09-2008, 11:25 AM

I am out of this one for now...

I received my CardioCallanetics DVD in the mail and tried it for the first time today...I am so not here yet.

No only can I not keep up with the Cardio part...I have absolutely no coordination. So I am going to put this one on the shelf for now until I have more stamina. Then I will focus on the feet and then the arms.

Lori

Oh, Lori -- don't despair!

I am the queen of no coordination, and I have such a hard time following any kind of choreography. I think it's a brain thing

. When I first got CardioCallanetics, I put it away for months because I was so klutzy (and it's not even very choreography-intensive, as cardio videos go).

What worked for me was to just do one section (or one move!) until I mastered it. Legs first, then arms. Sometimes I would have to put the DVD into super-slow-mo and just walk myself through a move, over and over, until I understood it and could do it at normal speed, and then I'd put it away. I'd move on to the next section another day. That way, I was building up my stamina as well as my coordination (and my confidence). It worked, and I'm doing it 3x a week. Love it. Now I look like this:

Not tripping over my own feet, see?

Oh, I also banned anyone from the room while I'm doing it. That helped a lot. No witnesses to my undignified attempts...

First of three CardioCallanetics for the week done, cardio section only.

Awwwww thanks Cookie!

Did cardiocallan last night...felt pretty uncoordinated...I trip over my own feet in my everyday life...

but got better as the time went on. Definitely felt it in my abs and upper thighs today.

Thanks CallanFan...I know it is not even "choreography-intensive, as cardio videos go"...thats the sad part..I am soooo uncoordinated. But I will start tackleing it eventually. I have a Kathy Ireland tape that I always liked for Cardio...Once I can do that and not be winded I will start with the Cardiocallanetics again. I was tired even doing the first few plies...

I have really let myself go...but that won't be the case in a few months I am getting stronger...

I am going to do what you suggested and master one move...legs...at a time and then arms. And yes I agree on the banning from the room...except for maybe the cat...

Have a great day.
Lori

Danipower714 · 12-13-2008, 07:45 AM

Another hour of cardiocallanetics completed.

siamesegirl · 12-13-2008, 11:15 AM

So far my game plan for the following week starting either tomorrow or Monday is Super C and CardioCallanetics, i may it so that for example Mon Super C, Tues Cardio only, Wed Super C, Thursday Cardio. I really miss Super C have not done it in ages!

siamesegirl · 12-16-2008, 06:56 AM

[COLOR=Blue]I HAVE RETURNED

MISS ME??

On a more serious note, i did 30 mins of CardioCallanetics this morning. My inner thighs, butt, abs arms are killing me DOMS(i did Super C yesterday) had set in

overnight

But it felt AWESOME to do CardioCallanetics.

vfCookie · 12-17-2008, 12:17 AM

Missed you desperately!!

I did my 30 minutes of Cardio Callanetics last night. Last week was a complete loss due to 5 holiday parties. Thank heavens that business is finished.

Anyway, had fun doing the Cardio...I put it on my iPod and just listened as I did it and used my big patio windows as a "mirror" to check my form. I always feel that my form is off but it really wasn't too terrible. AND looking at the "mirror" makes my posture better.

That is a good idea, I could clear some space around the window and use it as a "mirror".
Thanks.
