Guest guest Posted August 18, 2006 Report Posted August 18, 2006 I’m curious what Callanetics workout you do and how you like it? Or maybe what you like about it? How does it differ from things like Lotte Berk? Thanks From: FitFirmies [mailto:FitFirmies ] On Behalf Of Donna M-P Sent: Friday, August 18, 2006 11:06 PM ; fitnbusy moms; FitFirmies Subject: [FitFirmies] Re: September routine done, now what about October Hi , That sounds like a fun idea - I'm not sure what I'll feel like doing in October. In September I'm going to do a " ripped " rotation with Carolyn and and whoever else wants to join in. I was thinking that I'd like to focus on Lotte Berk, Bar Method, or Callanetics at some point since those helped to shape my legs and my legs look pretty bad these days, LOL!

Guest guest Posted August 20, 2006 Report Posted August 20, 2006 Hi , Callanetics is very much like Lotte Berk and Bar Method - she just does many, many more reps and makes it hurt more that way - LOL! It is also more " dated " as I believe these were from the early '80's. Lotte and Bar Method have a more " modern " feel. There is also a book called World Class Legs that features Lotte/Bar/Callanetics type exercises. I keep meaning to focus on that for a month or two. My legs, butt, etc. are my " trouble' areas - I'm a pear. So antyhing that tones, but doesn't build bulk works for me there. I still think the best results I got ever for my LB was when I followed a dance/pilates/ballet rotation. That seemed to slim my legs and strengthen my core nicely. I have decent abs - just that hip, butt and thigh region can get scary! Take care! Donna --- Sprague <kittyn@...> wrote: > I’m curious what Callanetics workout you do and how > you like it?

Guest guest Posted August 22, 2006 Report Posted August 22, 2006 That sounds fun, though I am not sure how many more reps my poor body can take LOL I guess a little soreness never hurt LOL I have those kind of stick thin legs that look like stork legs - I'd like to have dancer's legs instead. A dance/pilates/ballet routine sounds fun... Maybe with a bit of yoga too for flexibility. Be sure to let us know if you try it. Maybe I should take a look at what I have and try that routine soon (of course I may just have to buy a new dvd or two - poor me lol) Re: RE: Callenetics Hi , Callanetics is very much like Lotte Berk and Bar Method - she just does many, many more reps and makes it hurt more that way - LOL!
