Super Callanetics with Callan Pinckney |
 Fantastic |
| I really love this workout. It's hard in the beginning but it truly works. I have the VHS tape and need to convert it to DVD. You will be lifted and pulled in and all that it says it will do. Thank you Callan. - posted by Clarice Cooper on 12/10/2011 |

| Like its level and the result |
| After I did the first Callanetics video for 4 weeks, I continued with this one 3 times a week for the last 4 weeks. I got good results from the first one but it was a bit boring, slow and too easy. I really like how advanced this Super Callanetics is. It's challenging and keeps me motivated to improve my strength and flexibility. Also, the pace of the video is just right for me. I feel that my body is really tighter and stronger. My abs strength has increased a bit but the fat belly is really hard to lose. I will try to improve myself and hope I can do all the moves some day. - posted by Natalie on 7/14/2011 |

| Super Callanetics |
| I have been a fan of Callanetics for many years. My tape video finally gave out, so I had to get the DVD version. STILL AS GREAT AS EVER. Thanks to Callan and those who have kept up her program. - posted by Jaynne on 10/21/2010 |

| Fabulous! The Results I've Been Looking For! |
| Everything the other reviewers said is absolutely dead on accurate! These tiny little movements are much harder that they look; in fact, they are killer! Such results without jarring your joints or knees. It's like your are getting the slim strength of ballet exercises, but without the ballet if that makes sense. Within 2 weeks I saw results. My pants were starting to get baggy in the seat and hips! Not only that, but my butt is smaller now. My son asked me the other day if I had lost weight even though I had not lost any. This tape did not make me lose weight, but it didn't matter because I was just smaller, stronger and more toned and slimmer.If you are in your 40's like me and carrying more "junk in your trunk" than you would like, this will be a good program for you. These exercises are intense- they build strength and endurance. I have regained strength in my thighs that I haven't had since I used to dance years ago. I've never gained strength in my legs much from squats and lunges, and my knees would suffer. Not from this Callanetics video. My thighs and adductors are so much stronger. Today when I used the leg extension machine, its was a breeze! And when I used the adductor machine, it was a breeze also, just from doing these exercises! If you want to really strengthen your thighs without weights, this will do it. I don't have as much knee pain now as a result also! My only gripe is that the stomache exercises are alot and kind of long, but not enough of a problem to give the video less than 5 stars. I wish Callanetics had more techniques focusing on the upper body and waist. That's why I'm going to get the new Callanetics Evolution. Get this video. You won't be disappointed. - posted by Stacey on 2/12/2009 |

| Very Effective |
| Love this workout. I did Callanetics years ago, but for some reason dropped it. Big mistake because I was getting results. I started this again and am also doing Tracy Effinger's Squeeze. Between the two of these and eating healthier I am losing weight and my waist, stomach and hips are all smaller. This is much harder than it looks. - posted by Janna on 2/12/2009 |

| Great workout |
| I had put this away when I first got it and recently took it back out and I'm so glad I did. What a great workout - using nothing but your body (and they use a bar but I use my dresser or the back of a chair), you get an amazing workout. It seems so much easier on the muscles in terms of injury prevention, but it's actually a lot harder to do than traditional weights. I can see how you can get that beautiful, long, lean look by doing this faithfully several times/week. There are some yoga moves, pilates moves..she was ahead of her time and combined it all together in one great toning workout. I am going to try the Cardio Callanetics next. - posted by Jami on 1/2/2009 |

| A True Classic |
| Of all the Callanetics/Barre type videos available today, this is the most advanced and also the most effective. It’s very well-produced for an older video and doesn’t waste a single minute of your time. I’ve been doing this 75-minute routine twice a week for several years now (both with and without the video) and it STILL makes me shake every single time. The only minor flaw is during “Hips & Behind #3” they seem to rush through the left side. (I just continue on my own until I reach 100, then back up using the remote.) That small issue aside, I have yet to find a better workout for slimming, toning and stretching the entire body. Fads come and go, but sometimes the classics really ARE the best! - posted by Gretchen on 4/3/2008 |

| Simply the best |
| I just love Super Callanetics. It is the most trustworthy video for immediate, impressive results. The production is much better than the original. It is challenging and relaxing. I believe it's worth every penny, and more if it also is chaptered! - posted by Cristina on 1/3/2008 |

| excellent |
| I cannot get over how good this dvd is. I had heard so much about Callanetics, but had never tried it. I have done Bar Method, Lotte Berk, and Squeeze - though all good,none of them really seemed advanced. Super Callanetics is dated in its 80s styling, but the exercises are excellent. I am on my third hour and my thighs are already down 1/4 inch - and I am an advanced exerciser who works out every day. It is not cardio, and you will not likely sweat, but the results are great. By adding this in with my other workouts, I have been noticing lower body results I've never achieved through weights etc. Callan's instruction is very calming. I am pleasantly surprised that I love this workout far more than any of the more modern bar workouts. - posted by Tammy on 12/20/2007 |
