LOVE Callanetics, am a big fan of this, yes I have the videos, books, I got into this a few years ago.I've had a few broken bones over the years, so this is the perfect type of excercise I can do. I have been working on my flabby arms, and now I doing that thing of flexing my very petite muscles infront of the mirror, omg

Hey guys.I have done these exercises approx 5 years ago and if I do say so myself my bod looked FAB but alas now after 2 children it is time to start them up again.I actually purchased a machine off here called the Fluidity Bar which is like a sel supporting bar.You can adjust the height and it is ideal.So I am now signed up to this Callanetics thread.Good luck everyone

Yup I have designed a few things in my brain, my hubby is a joiner/cabinet maker so I just have to give him what I want and he will build it. I have plans for a perm outside rail (once we get out of here into our own place) and also for one that fits to the back of a closed door, will look similar to the tall wall of bars that callen hangs off in the book (showing the up and out with the legs) .
at the moment I make do with hanging off door handles, draw tops, bed end, rabbit hutch LMAO

I do. LMAO . Flemish Giants, in a custom made hutch, its about the size of a small sedan car. one bunny in question weighs 7kgs.

yup they are still the chosen breed in NZ for eating rabbits. its because they grow so fast and can be culled at 13 weeks at a good size, with good muscle to fat ratio.
Mine however are not for the pot! lol

and here I was coming in to ask a sensible question and I find you all lic-ing & squeezing each other's butt's. If that's what I'm going to get by doing callanetics, I think I might stick with my flacidness!
Actually all I wanted to know was if callanetics would help with spinal flexibility!

Yes. and the rest of your body
*squeezes Accrouls butt to test if shes able to enter the thread*

Hi there, I have never heard of this before. Which book would be bes to try first as opposed to a dvd!

There are two books I usually recommend - they are sold out in most bookshops - but I have found them in England for you:
You dare to squeeze my butt! my DH reckons I could snap his hand with my butt. That's not all it can do either. you SURE you still want to squeeze it maxwell.inc!
Dazz, I'm picking up a book from the library tomorrow which I assume is the real deal as Callan is the author. and then to see if the motivation strikes me!

Ouch Craytail! Lay off - I know I've got the saggiest butt in town, but wait til I get going on callanetics. At least I know I've got one of the correct books. Just got to open it and get on with it! Tomorrow, I promise!

Thank you Uli! Is it worth it! Can you get any from the library! Thank you :)
uli,

Well I think it is worth it LOL :) You need to find out for yourselves. However it is as with anything: YOU will have to find an hour 3 times a week (or more often if you feel like it) and do it - otherwise it will not work.
I haven't been to the library for a long time - so I don't know which ones would stock it, but others on here had it out from their libraries - so ask and find out.
Good luck.

Yes I have the book - in fact I have about 6 books of Callan herself - not so sure about the new "Cardio callanetics" videos etc - which seem to be 100% contradictory to what Callan used to say .

I have only done it 6x and I do feel tighter, but only as yet in my arms and thighs.Still going slow on the tummy and bum ones, can feel my muscles though which I couldn't before.The stretches are great, I can get down further.Could probably get further still if I didn't have so much body in between.I'm using complete callanetics from library.I thought the pics looked great too fourkingz
