Book Reviews of Callanetics: 10 Years Younger in 10 Hours
Book Review: 10 Stars!
Summary: 5 Stars
This book is absolutely wonderful!! I am amazed at the results a person can see in just a few weeks. The triple slow motion really makes you aware and in control of your movements. Wonderful for the back. The stetches are a very imortant part for awesome results. I would give it 10 STARS!!Book Review: A Classic workout that is still incredibly effective.
Summary: 5 Stars
Why more people don't do Callanetics I'll never know. I suppose it is the boredom factor. However, if you can hang in there for about 10 workouts or so, and see the phenomenol results that Callanetics will give you, suddenly the workout isn't so boring anymore! This book is really wonderful, well-written with great photo examples of every exercise. I would highly recommend the purchase of the Callanetics video workout and a tape measure along with this book. In my opinion, the book and video should always be sold together. The tape measure is so that you can take your measurements before and after to keep track of your progress-and believe me, you will progress rapidly with this workout. It is a wonderful regime for anyone who wants a long, lean "dancer" type body, and is especially wonderful for shrinking pear-shapes and for those who want to rid themselves of saddle-bags.Book Review: Tough, but effective, exercise program
Summary: 5 Stars
I had taken this book out of the library in the late eighties. The abdominal exercises were highly recommended by an acquaintance. I followed this program for a few years. The instructions were easy to follow and it was amply illustrated with photos. These were tough at first, but they worked, and they worked quickly. A couple of drawbacks are the lack of upper body strength exercises and they are not aerobic. I purchased this book because I had gotten away from some of the exercises, and needed a reminder on how to do them. I am sorry it is out of print, because it is a great program when used in conjunction with some aerobic exercises.Book Review: Great Book--Buy it!
Summary: 5 Stars
It is really a shame this book is out of print. If you have this book and the original video, you don't need any of the others.I will say this, however. I think the most effective exercise in the book is the one she does on the studio ladder. It is somewhat modified in the book (hang from a door?) and in SuperCallanetics by sitting on the floor and grabbing a barre or windowsill, but you actually get the most benefit from having that ladder to brace against, yet have the height to be able to exercise the muscles, and get those arms in shape.
I have no idea how much a studio ladder would cost, but I'll have to put it on my wish list *sigh*.
