AM/PM Callanetics with Callan Pinckney |
 Great for when you're pressed for time |
| For days when you are in a hurry but still want to get in your exercises, this is a great video. Callanetics is a great workout and has made me more toned than I've ever been. It's also helped my posture. Because you don't work up a sweat, you can do the evening routine and not have to go take a shower. Yes, it's dated, but is that really a big deal in light of the results? - posted by Julie on 4/14/2013 |

| Callanetics delivers the goods! This is the perfect "add on" format. |
| I love adding these 20 minute Callanetics sessions onto my shorter cardio or interval workouts. I love that Callan prioritizes relaxation and stretching in conjunction with the famous "pulsed" deep muscle toning exercises, it makes for a great cool down plus powerful muscle shaping. Like many of the reviewers here, I have been doing Callanetics on and off for a loooooong time, nearly two decades. Shamefully, I actually stole her book "10 Years Younger in 10 Hours" from the library in high school (:/) and wore out my VHS copy of the original. I always come back to it eventually, because while I enjoy many other forms of fitness and exercise, Callanetics always gives me the look I'm after. I am short and carry my weight in my lower body, so I never want to add bulk. Callanetics creates the slimmest, leanest lines in my legs and thighs while pulling the booty into a tight round "peach," as Callan is fond of saying! Nothing does it quite as well, and I've done Lotte Berk, The Bar Method, Yoga Booty Ballet, Exhale, The Firm, Kari Anderson, etc. etc. I find I enjoy Callanetics the most when I alternate it with workouts that include a larger range of motion and more cardio. That way, on Callanetics days I find that I truly enjoy the slow, calming pace and the deep, long stretches. I've been doing is so long, I've totally embraced Callan's kooky 80's southern belle style and found myself smiling at her black lace "evening wear" leotard. Just make sure you take the time to get the form right, it makes all the difference. - posted by Aimee on 3/31/2012 |

| wonderful |

| Perfect! |
| I love how this workout is set up in two very different settings for two different workouts. And, one is clearly an easier gentle one so one can also choose difficulty level, although neither is very difficult. Both are effective yet gentle. - posted by Nicoleen on 11/17/2011 |

| Callanetics |
| I have been doing Callanetics on and off for 30 years, and I always go back to it when I see a problem...and Callan saves me every time. First time was eating and laziness, second time was after childbirth, and now its for menopause pounds...she is the best, and a calm workout, to boot - love my Callanetics!!!! - posted by Teresa on 11/10/2011 |

 Tried and true |
| I have enjoyed Callanetics for 20 years and I always go back to the original VHS that I have. I like the AM/PM since it incorporates all the exercises in Callanetics in 2 sessions. I have yet to master Super Callanetics, but I am on my way. You definitely have to get used to the overall 80's theme, but it works. - posted by Tracy on 5/26/2011 |

| If I could give this more than 5 stars I would! |
| Overlook the dated factor in these DVD's and INVEST! Collage Video is fantabulous for carrying these hidden gems. Callanetics ROCKS!!!! I did these back in the 90's when I was in my late teens/early twenties. I'm not sure why I ever stopped (silly me). My Urologist wanted me to start doing pelvic floor strengthening exercises so I decided to go back to Callanetics. WOW!!!! I can feel and see the difference already. If you are curvy and tend to bulk up from a lot of weight training DO THIS WORKOUT! If you can overlook the tights and leg warmers and stick with it you WILL see results! I do this one together. I also do the newer ones and while they are really great too I still like the original workouts the best. These exercises really work! Thanks Collage Video! Great selection and great service! - posted by Kiesha on 4/28/2011 |

| AM/PM Callanetics |
| This is the most doable and sensible workout that I have ever done. I have done callanetics for over 25 years and as I age the exercises age with me. I would highly recommend this video to anyone at any age. - posted by Penny on 4/14/2011 |

| Like it. |
| The Callanetics tape, AM/PM Callanetics, is just what I wanted for the limited time I have to exercize in the evening. It is a good workout that doesn't take too much time to cover the basics of maintainence. I find it relaxing and pleasant to do and use it on the days I don't do other exercizes. I practice Tai Chi once a week and do Karate once a week also. On the nites I am alone I use the Callanetics tape. If I were to not be able to do the others, I would use this tape all the time. Very good and won't hurt your back. This is a real plus for me as I do have some back problems. Thanks and sorry it took so long to write this review. Brenda - posted by Brenda on 9/25/2010 |

| Powerful & Time Saving |
| A wonderful routine for those who just don't have the time to spend 45-60 minutes every day. As with Callan's other dvd's, the moves really DO WORK. Hard to believe that such tiny movements can do much if anything for your body, but they DO. A gem of a dvd! - posted by Cindy on 9/9/2010 |
