"...it only takes one small movement" November 29, 2002 Alejandra Vernon (Long Beach, California) 18 out of 18 found this review helpful
Callanetics is designed to be done slowly, with very small increments of movement, which make this method good for people of all ages, and at any level of athletic ability. This tape claims to: "Make legs tighter and longer looking/Eliminate sagging knees/Tighten gooshy, sagging skin/Create beautiful, shapely legs". There's a lot of stretching in this particular "Quick Callanetics" tape, and like all of these workouts, one is instructed to "work at one's own pace". The production is simple, with 3 students demonstrating along with Callan, who's lovely, musical voice is a big plus in making her videos enjoyable.If like me, you have weak or problem knees, you may have to modify several of the exercises, until your knees get stronger. "Pelvic Weave", "Plie & Balance", "Pelvic Rotation", "Pelvic Scoop", and "Front Thigh Stretch" tend to be hard on my knees, making this the Callanetics tape I use the least. I highly recommend, for people like me, the "Quick Callanetics: Stomach" video, which is entirely stress-free for the knees. These exercises take up very little space, but you will need a barre, or a sturdy piece of furniture (for leg stretches) as a substitute. You'll feel relaxed after doing Callan's workouts, as the calmness of them bring peace of mind, as well as tremendous benefits to the body.
