Callanetics

Callan Pinckney
Year Released: 1986

Categories: Ballet/Barre


The soft new-age atmosphere lends a helping-hand in enabling the viewer to carry-out the exercises in the soft pulsating method that Callan punctuates repeatedly. The key to the regimen is the minute movements and stretches that require you "to stretch up two inches higher than you think you can". All of the laudatory comments I have gotten on my streamlined shape will forever keep me on the Callanetics program and away from the line-backer producing high impact aerobic programs. I'll go for long and lean any day over short and squatty muscle tone. I endorse this video and her books emphatically.

Instructor Comments:
Callan gives a dignified look to people's pursuit to regain vitality. She is a testimonial to her emphasis on strengthening, lengthening and non-bulking exercises.
