Callanetics: 10 Years Younger in 10 Hours Paperback – January 1, 1987

I was looking for something that would tighten my stomach and pelvic floor and upon research ran across Callanetics. I decided to purchase this dvd (in 2012), and got unbelievable results. Such as life, got busy, quit doing the work outs and forgot the dvd altogether. I have always been fairly petite, and noticed I started ballooning out in all the wrong places arms, gut, cellulite covered my legs ect., ect. I started using weights and doing tiny are circles to try to tighten my jiggly arms back up. Some times doing up to 300 rotations (150 forward & 150 in reverse). Nothing, nada, zilch! Well I ran across my Callanetics dvd and decided to start back doing them again. So I did, and let me tell you, My arms tightened back up to pre-pregnancy size (keep in mind from my very 1st child 10 years ago, I have 3 total)! My husband went out of town for 5 days, came home and asked me, "What happened to you? You look amazing!" It made me feel great. My jeans are looser, my tops are looser, my stomach is flatter. The cellulite on my legs was horrible, and I'm not talking about those people who say, "I'm covered in cellulite", then you have to break out the magnifying glass to find it. My cellulite woes were/are legit. We're talking about hail damage here... golf ball size hail damage. My children ask me what happened to my legs, if I was in an accident. I laugh and tell them no, it's just a part of getting older. Anyway I have done 5 hours so far and it is just about gone on my quads. My hamstrings, were still working out. I am hoping, by ordering the Super Callanetics, it will clear the hail damage on the backside on up. I hear the Super C. is more advanced and double the moves. I am excited and looking forward to it (should arrive in a week). My rump, it's always been saggy, even when I ran track in high school and did weight lifting- ugh...WHAT GIVES?! One friend told me when I tanned to put a tooth pick between my butt and legs to hold it up to get some sun under there -yeah that saggy. I never tried it, but I probably could have carried money, or pencils or whatever back there. It was like it's own personal compartment. At 33 years old, for the 1st time in my life it is lifting up like Callans! Yay to perky deriairs! I am telling you who gives a flip about the music, the hair, the leotards? If you get results, you get results! Stop waisting time and buy the dvd, you wont' regret it!

This book is a life-changer. I borrowed it from the library & ordered my own copy the same day. I love Callan's teaching style & technique. I've also added 4 of her dvd's to my collection. This book is comprehensive & could work as a stand-alone Callanetics resource. The 10 years younger dvd (the counterpart to this book) gives good visuals of the nuances of the movements with Callan teaching every-day students. (The book is more comprehensive--the video augments the book.) The Super Callanetics dvd adds advanced moves to the one-hour routine presented in the book & another opportunity to glean subtleties in proper form as Callan demonstrates the moves in the beginning & then proceeds to instruct master practitioners as they complete the sequence. This book alongside Super Callanetics (excellent instruction & progressive movements) are my favorite & most referred to Callanetics resources. I'm thankful for Callan, Callanetics & the clarity & grace with which it is conveyed.Update: I added the Super Callanetics book to my collection. (It's out of print & available used though amazon.) It's a real treasure. I think it's the best Callanetics resource for one's evolving practice. It contains helpful suggestions for each exercise to achieve proper form & make each exercise more challenging or less challenging. It also includes tips Callan used in her own personal practice. After doing the sequence over a dozen times, I know it by heart & enjoy it as a moving meditation first thing in the morning. I like keeping the Super Callanetics book & a timer alongside when I practice.

I bought this book years ago when I was 35. And now 35 years later I bought it again. I wish there was a DVD now. It is working for me again. I wish I had kept up the exercises. But I am glad to have the book to pass on.

My Mom had this book when I was a kid. I bought this for my older sister as a gift. So far she loves it.

My massage therapist recommended this to me. I used her book until I bought a copy. I am in my 60's and wanted to do some exercises. Many in here we use to do in our PE classes in the 1960's. Since it works large muscles and you stop for a couple of weeks due to a trip or being sick you can go back at the same level you were doing before.I was surprised. I have exercised most of my early life and I like these.They are easy to do.The book has different levels and you just work at your own pace which includes exercises for folks with back problems as well as for older folks .

just as described! i'm so happy to have it again. (i lent mine out, never to see it again!)I have been doing this program for over 20 years, and absolutely love it. while i have the program memorized, and do it all by heart, i wanted to have the book again, for old times sake. im so happy it is still out there! i encourage everyone to try callanetics...it rivals any program out there.

This is the original as I know it and I love Callanetics , for some reason its the hardest exercise I think to master but its the only exercise that really tones you up without hurting yourself, This book covers all the original moves as I remember with pictures, its old fashion but its the original moves so you can master this lot and easily fit into your routine each day. the book shows each move correctly with options and also states what it will tone up so you can concentrate on certain parts of your body and the pictures are also easy to follow. I have been doing now for about 4 months and my core is so strong now other exercises are so much easier, if you can master the stomach exercises you can do anything. The best exercise for really muscle strength

Lovely copy, just as I remember it from the 80s but better because this is a hardback! And I'm really enjoying getting back into these fantastically effective exercises (although some of them are rather harder than they used to be when I was a teenager!) Thanks very much.

Book arrived in excellent condition, almost like a new one. I do the one hour program for the last four weeks and my back pain is gone. Even after the first time I felt better. Being a physiotherapist these exercices are well explained but must be really well understood before doing them. Suzanne Poulin.

It's exactly as I remember it. Someone borrowed my original copy a number of years ago and I always missed it. After 15 years, I'm still doing a few of my favourite callanetics exercises. Now with the book again, I can do more of them to re-shape my body.
