January 2010 CALLANETICS challenge!!

planetbenjamin · 01-01-2010, 11:25 AM

HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!! Or should that be HAPPY NEW "REAR"!!! (as one of our wonderful ladies describes it).

It's that time of year when we all need to put that little bit of extra effort into our exercise routine.

Let the CALLANETICS January 2010 challenge begin!

Callanetics, 10 Years Younger in 10 Hours!
I completed 1 hour!
2009 total hours: 23
2010 total hours: 1

CosmicGirl · 01-02-2010, 04:21 AM

Yay new thread! I was VERY lax over Christmas as had friends and family staying. Consequently, I feel that my body has gone slightly wobbly, so going to step it up this month and pledge 20

sessions of Callanetics (a mix of 10/10 and Cardio C.)
Good luck everyone!

laurakitty · 01-02-2010, 06:27 AM

I failed last month, but I am back on it this month- in for 20.

ktspencer · 01-02-2010, 04:49 PM

I'm in. Hello all! I'm new but I definitely would like to join the challenge. I'll do 10 hours for Jan. (this will fill in the gaps when I'm not working out with my BFF too)

newmomtx · 01-02-2010, 07:58 PM

I am in. I will try to do 10 hours this month ( 10/10 or cardiocallanetics).

Btw, I have reached the dress size of 8 (US) - almost halfway thru to my goal of 4!

zinny · 01-03-2010, 06:04 AM

I am back looking for that new rear! Really feeling yesterday's workout (the first Callan in months) today. I will do 12 Callanetics sessions this month.

edna_scooter · 01-03-2010, 06:50 AM

2 down for my goal of 16 this month. 37 hours total. My pants are almost falling off but the next size down is still very tight

Danipower714 · 01-03-2010, 09:39 AM

I'm back!

Did an hour of Super C yesterday. Was pretty tough in parts after a few months of no callanetics, but feeling good today!

lori121 · 01-03-2010, 09:53 AM

How can I find either a video or something to watch how you do Callanetics??

I'm limited what I can do, but I'm willing to try. I have back, hip, knee & ankle problems. Just wanted to try & see if I can do this.. A girls got to at least try.

sreichfeld · 01-03-2010, 10:01 AM

hello!

i am back to callanetics also.. quite some time passed that i haven't done any callanetics, but starting again!!

the goal is 10 this month.
just completed one hour of 10/10

penny_lane · 01-03-2010, 10:04 AM

i'm pledging 20 this month

pballerina · 01-03-2010, 03:05 PM

Hello! I'm new here to this forum -- I joined because of the Callanetics threads. I have been interested in starting for a while now but never had the chance; I plan on starting tomorrow as I just got my DVDs.

I'd like to join this challange if that's alright; do I just put a goal number of hours for the month of January?

If so, my goal will be 14 hours seeing as I plan on doing Callanetics every other day.

I only have the 10/10 DVD right now, I did order Super but I accidentally ordered a VHS!! Whoops... :blush: I'll start with 10/10, though, and at some point I'll buy the Super. I'm so excited!!

ktspencer · 01-03-2010, 04:13 PM

How can I find either a video or something to watch how you do Callanetics??

lori121- I searched them on youtube and found several. There is one whole set that has the titles in another language but the video is still in English.

enjoy · 01-03-2010, 04:17 PM

I failed miserably last month, I could do only 3 hrs after being away for 2 months. I have to get back on track and try to do 15 hrs this month, My body really needs it!!!

AprilW · 01-03-2010, 05:06 PM

I am in. I am going to try to do 20 again.

I got my last session for Dec. in on NYE.

Look on You Tube. That's where I watched the clips at to see what it was all about before I ordered the dvd's.

surarch · 01-04-2010, 02:49 AM

Welcome to 2010 Callanetics Peaches

Thanks for starting the Jan thread Ben

I'm back at the studio teaching Wednesday and will be back checking in here to read all the great results and help out with questions as much as possible.

Good luck with everyones January goals

Pokio · 01-04-2010, 06:11 PM

Count me in for ten hours for the month of January... I am excited to get back into doing Callanetics!

tempted_by_food · 01-05-2010, 05:33 AM

enjoy...at least you got 3 hours in every lil helps, I only got half of my total in for december, but its a new month!

logging in 1 hour of evo, that makes 1 of 10

pballerina · 01-05-2010, 09:37 AM

Did 1 of 14 yesterday! 10/10

inertia6 · 01-05-2010, 10:02 AM

I just started doing the 10/10 DVD last month and I'm loving it. I'll commit to 13 hours in January. I have been doing them every other day, but I'm resting my neck today - JM's Banish Fat Boost Metabolism kicked my butt...

January goal: 13 hours
to date: 2 hours done

Question: my neck continues to hurt doing the stomach exercises. Is it alright to hold my legs with my elbows out while pulsing, or would I be better off trying to reduce the amount that I curl up so I can keep my arms straight and hands by my hips? When I hold my hands behind my neck, it feels much better, but does this reduce the effect of the exercises?

Thanks and Good luck to all!

Mulberry32 · 01-05-2010, 11:21 AM

Cardio C done for #3

Romy@callan · 01-05-2010, 12:06 PM

Happy New Year 2010 to all of you !
Hope everyone is well and full of the Callanetics spirit

Happy pulsing

pballerina · 01-05-2010, 02:06 PM

inertia6 -- I have the same problem as you! I find that my neck hurts a lot during the stomach exercises, and I really am trying to use my abs; I keep my chin tucked to my chest, yet my neck keeps on hurting. I would be so happy if anyone could answer this question! I, too, wonder if putting my hand behind my neck for support would reduce the effectiveness of the exercises? I seem to vaguely remember that in one of the videos she said it was ok to do, but i might just be making that up! :/
