Been doing Jillian Michaels for years.love her and consequently consider myself fit and strong. Just to ring the changes I've bought the quick Callanetics dvd. Had the video ages ago. Did the hips and stomach today and I can't bloody move now!
She promises me the bottom of a 10 year old ( slightly creepy). Fine but no one will see it as I can't get off the chair! 80's horror aside, it's rather good!

Oh gosh, i had the book and video so long ago. Kind of wish I had them now! Really worked, if the first week didnt kill you., and without all the aggressiveness that people like JM use.

Oh I just started doing the videos again! Done the whole hour programme twice this week and am now so sore I can't move.

I've still got the book, I keep meaning to get back into it. I really lost inches while doing it about a million years ago-

Callanetics! OMG, that's a blast from the past. I think I still have my VHS video from the 80s in the attic. I might just have to plug in the old VCR and give it another go I think I have some legwarmers somewhere

I copied my mum's old vhs onto a dvd. Quality isn't great but good enough. I had to stop the dvd loads of times for breathers Blush

Glad I've got company!
I'm not very good at tipping the old pelvis up though!
The quick callanetics breaks the whole lot into 20 min sections tum/legs/hips and bum
I can only cope with 20 mins at a time and even then only just Blush
I feel as miserable as her helpers look.

I feel quite embarrassed watching the elderly helpers who are all doing a better job than me.

I only have the one hour programme unfortunately. Not sure how often i'll realistically got it in during the week.

I have jillian michaels as well but feel too unfit for it at the moment.
