Has anyone really changed their shape by doing Callanetics? Sounds too good to be true.

Because I've bought the DVD because I'm ever hopeful!

I can't complain about my weight, BMI is and has nearly always been 22 and although I'd like to be thinner I realise that with my big bone structure it's never really going to happen. But I reckon that with the right kind of exercise I might be able to change my shape a bit (thinner thighs and flatter tummy would be good).

My youngest is now old enough that I should have long ago done something about the tummy - it's not huge but as I'm flat chested I feel a flat tummy would enhance my whole figure.

So has anyone done Callanetics and is it as effective as it claims to be? Or can you recommend any other good exercise for reshaping?

Thanks

Yes! Witchy, I know exactly what you mean.

How would you describe it? It’s almost like I’m unwrapped from something constrictive, but at the same time more pulled in but it’s hard to describe!!!

Started this today! Hour 1 done, so excited for big results! Does anyone else find it makes their body just feel good? Not sure how to explain it, but it’s like I’m stretchier or less tense….like all of me is relaxed (although I will no doubt wake up with immense muscle soreness!)

I just started this too! How are you getting on? I know exactly what you mean about it making your body feel great.

I used to do this back in the day. I am now 57. I started again with the full hour..couldn't do many reps and was really stiff for 3 days after! I've gone down to using beginning callanetics..I need to build up.

But 3 sessions in..I feel good!

I need to get back on this but we no longer have a dvd player to play the dvd in! Where are people finding the videos?

AppleTV!

AppleTV!

Thank you! We have Apple TV - is it in the main search thing? When I googled there it looked like an extra?

I’ve been going slow, but am about 5 sessions in and definitely see and feel a difference! For the other poster, you have to buy on Apple TV I think, but you don’t need an Apple TV subscription
