I am reviewing a 2004 release that contains all 3 Quick Callanetics workouts on 1 DVD. This is the Hips and Thighs segment, accessible from the main menu.

Callan has 3 cast members, two women and one man. music is instrumental, relaxing, and sort of new-agey.

here's a breakdown of the moves - note that she doesn't mirror cue:

0-2:30 intro

Standing moves:
2:30 Up and down (5 reps); While standing, you raise your arms up to the ceiling, then touching the floor – you can bend your knees when touching the floor.

3:09 Neck Relaxer (3 reps); Stretch your neck as if forming an arc with your chin from the left to the right (1 rep = left and back)

Seated moves:
Sitting on floor facing barre, 1 or both hands on barre:

4:18 Bringing up the rear (also known as the pretzel move) right side (100 reps); Right leg (working leg) is bent toward your right side with foot behind you, left leg is bent in similar position but will rest on the floor. lift right leg 3" off of floor, then pulse bent right leg back 3" and forth, parallel to the floor.

6:27 bringing up the rear left side (100 reps); position legs toward your left side and work the left leg, similar to how you worked the right leg.

8:22 out to the side, right leg first (100 reps); position legs similar to the "bringing up the rear" move except your working leg (right leg) is straight out, then you pulse your right leg up and down 2-3".

10:07 out to the side, left leg working (100 reps)

Kneeling moves:

11:50 Bringing up the rear, right leg first (100 reps). you kneel, facing the barre. with right leg bent (working leg), lift right leg 1” off floor, move leg 1-2" back and forth.

13:50 Bringing up the rear, left leg (100 reps). repeat the same move on the left.

15:34 Out to the side right leg (100 reps). in kneeling position facing the barre, similar to "kneeling bringing up the rear" position, the working leg is straight out, 1” off floor, and you pulse the right leg up and down, 2-3".

17:30 out to the side, left leg working (100 reps)

laying on the floor on your back:

19:19 spine stretch, right leg over (50 reps); with your elbows bent and shoulders and arms flat on floor (like a football goal post position), left leg straight and flat on floor, move bent right leg over to left side, pulse 50x. keep shoulders and arms flat on floor.

21:04 spine stretch, left leg over (50 reps); same thing except now do the left side.

22:51 end

Instructor Comments:
Callan is very relaxed and speaks slowly. the moves are gentle. some people find her style boring, but i find it relaxing, almost zen-like.
