Callanetics AM/PM - Amazon.com Exclusive DVD

So glad I found this and at a reasonable price. I'm a senior citizen and this is a kinder, gentler form of the current Pilates. Much less streneous but gently stretches, strengthens and improves balance.

Loved the Original program years ago. Had terrific results. Ready to do it again with this shorter version of the original hour long tape.

Very boring. Misleading video. Everyone is using a barre, not a chair like she claims you can use. Boring voice put me to sleep.

Ok, once you get past the cheesiness of the instructor, and the horrid clothes they are all wearing, these exercises are great! I can tell a difference in my body in only 4-5 hours of doing the video. Something I was extremely skeptical about, but after doing it myself and seeing results, I'll watch that cheesy lady as much as I need to! (Once you get to know how to do the exercises without her explanations, you can just mute it and use the video for the counters provided.) I like the fact that it is broken up into two manageable segments, and if you want a longer workout, do both. But as a mom that works part time, I just couldn't always find time to do the 1 hour video. The deep muscle exercises are great and you'll feel it the next day. I don't do this nearly as often as I should, but I love the quick results when I do!

First off the format of the dvd is older, however on your remote control you should have a title/top menu button that allows you to go to the main menu and maneuver from one section to another with ease. As far as the exercises are concerned they have completely transformed my once out of shape body into a lean and toned machine. I have never been so limber in my life. She does use a barre in some of the exercises, just supplement a chair instead. I use a basic plastic chair so I can move it into the middle of the room for easier access. For those who are seeking a quick, modest and low impact program this is for you!!

just so you know, it's impossible to click on "p.m. callanetics" without fast-forwarding through the a.m.i know, it sounds impossible. how could they do such a thing? but it's true. and i tried. and it gets REALLY frustrating.thanks to previous commenters, i expected that would happen. i would highly discourage purchasing this item UNLESS a new version is released with a better-formatted DVD.

I discovered this form of exercise almost 30 years ago. It is not high impact and it is even milder in movement that Pilates. The results can be dramatic if you stick with this seemingly simple regimen. The usual work out is about an hour, but with it split over the day into day and night, it's easier to get the whole work out in even if you don't have a lot of time in your day. The stretches are wonderful and you will find yourself gaining strength and flexibility. I always feel refreshed after doing them and I like knowing I'm doing something good for myself. Check it out yourself!

If you want to get in shape fast, feel and look great with out dieting. This is the exercise DVD for you. It fantastic for all the female body parts that get giggly. Yep even tones the upper arms and the inner thighs. And the best part is it only takes 20mins a day with out breaking into a sweat. To top it of once you learn these....you have them for life. And yes they are exercises you can do until you are 80.
