Product Description

Amazon.co.uk Review
Callan Pinckney's Callanetics--a programme of non-impact, deep-muscle exercises--has been popular for decades. In this workout, Callanetics AM/PM, Pinckney presents two 20-minute workouts designed for busy people: an AM Class and a PM Class. "You'll get energised in the morning, completely relaxed in the evening, and of course a great body 24 hours a day," Pinckney promises. She is assisted by a small group of people of varying ages and flexibility levels. The AM Class presents some fairly traditional stretches and other exercises that use a ballet bar (you may substitute a piece of furniture). Some of these are very difficult toning exercises because they work the small muscles (of the hip and outer thigh, for example), and most of the movements are either isometric or little pulses. Most exercise professionals would say that working large muscles through a fuller range of motion is a better use of your time, but Callanetics has always had its followers who claim dramatic results. The PM Class, which she calls "meditation in motion", is quite similar to the morning workout, with more emphasis on stretching. If you're a Callanetics fan, here's a way to divide your workout into two short, manageable parts. --Joan Price, Amazon.com

5.0 out of 5 stars a great tape, no matter what your level of expertise, 23 Oct 2002
By Alejandra Vernon "artist & illustrator" (Long Beach, California) - See all my reviews
(TOP 50 REVIEWER)   
This is 2 complete 20 minute workouts, and it's the gentlest of the available Callanetics videos. It makes an excellent introduction to this unique method, and good for people with not much time to spare.
Another added benefit (and this is especially true in the P.M. section), is that it's wonderfully soothing, and if you're feeling anxious or stressed, Callan's soft and gentle voice, guiding you through these slow motions, will help release any tension, and calm the nerves.
If you're the type that needs a lot of "bounce and flash" to get you motivated, Callanetics is not for you...this is indeed "meditation in motion"...the exercises can be very difficult if done correctly, but everything is done quietly and in "triple slow motion".

A note to anyone who like me, has problem or weak knees: At first, you may have to modify your movements in the "Pelvic Weave" and "Front Thigh Stretch" in the AM portion, and in the "Pelvic Rotation", "Pelvic Scoop", and again the "Front Thigh Stretch" in the PM portion. Go at your own pace, and you'll find your knees getting stronger quite rapidly. I was amazed to find that I could kneel and sit on my heels after only 3 weeks of Callanetics...it has been decades since my knees had the agility to do this.

Strength and flexibility are the two major benefits I've received so far in the few weeks I've been doing these exercises, and why I would recommend Callanetics to anyone over forty. These are the two things we start to lose with age that make us "old", and contribute to accidents and ill health. I've also noticed some body shape changes, but it's the feeling of well being that I value more than anything...and the ability to stretch like I haven't been able to do in years.
Callan says of this tape that you'll feel energized with the AM, and relaxed with the PM, and have "a great body 24 hours a day".

5.0 out of 5 stars A quick effective way to strenghten and tone body., 6 Jun 2000
This is great for those saying there is no time for excercise. A twenty minute workout in the morning, with excercises to get you energised and ready for the day. And then a twenty minute workout in the evening, which relaxes the mind and body. Evening workout is great. It's easy, effective with great results. Definitely the best excercise video I've bought.
