Editorial Review:

Amazon.com:
Callan Pinckney's Callanetics--a program of nonimpact, deep-muscle exercises--has been popular for decades. In this workout, AM/PM Callanetics, Pinckney presents two 20-minute workouts designed for busy people: an AM Class and a PM Class. 'You'll get energized in the morning, completely relaxed in the evening, and of course a great body 24 hours a day,' Pinckney promises. She is assisted by a small group of people of varying ages and flexibility levels. The AM Class presents some fairly traditional stretches and other exercises that use a ballet barre (you may substitute a piece of furniture). Some of these are very difficult toning exercises because they work the small muscles (of the hip and outer thigh, for example), and most of the movements are either isometric or little pulses. Most exercise professionals would say that working large muscles through a fuller range of motion is a better use of your time, but Callanetics has always had its followers who claim dramatic results. The PM Class, which she calls 'meditation in motion,' is quite similar to the morning workout, with more emphasis on stretching. If you're a Callanetics fan, here's a way to divide your workout into two short, manageable parts. --Joan Price

- I was so sore
I picked this dvd up about 6 months ago. When I did the first routine it seemed so easy, so I didn't bother to do the pm routine. Thinking to myself this is a complete waste of time, because it seemed like I was barely moving. The next morning when I got up, I was so sore!!!!!!!!!!! Legs, butt and arms! I had to stretch to get myself loosened up. Then I went and did the am routine again. Also, this time, later on in the evening, I did the pm routine. My gosh does this work! I love this tape. The transformation it has done for my body is amazing. A couple of weeks later, I did work in a 30 minute cardio (treadmill or kickboxing for me) routine with it every other day. Now I am up to every day. Just give it time and you will see the results! I have since moved on to the Callanetics 1 hr. video. But, when I know I am short on time, I pop this one in and I'm on the go again. By the way, I am 48 years old and ... Read More

- Great short workouts
Once you get these exercises memorized, the workouts will be closer to 15 minutes each. But do the exercises with the tape for a while to get the technique and the proper speed down (which is slow). You get most of the exercises from the original (blue) tape, although some are repeated in both segments. Take notes so you can make a "cheat sheet" for when you travel. Please note you really don't need a barre per se--e.g., to do the Pelvic Wave you can hold onto a column or the sides of a doorway. The Beginning Callanetics video (also highly recommended) shows people using all sorts of furniture when doing the workout.

The AM workout more closely follows the order of the body parts worked in the original book. The PM workout splits the leg stretching for some reason from where it is in the book--you may want to switch if it's easier for you to remember. Also, some of the exercises have slightly different ... Read More

- The right length for an add-on
Many reviewers have mentioned that this tape is excellent for short morning and evening routines (as its name implies); however, I find the 20-minute length perfect as an add-on to my cardio routines so I tend to alternate one 20-minute workout each day (sometimes every other day). I prefer these to the Quick Callanetics set, as each AM/PM routine is a complete total body program unto itself. I do use Callanetics or Super Callanetics occasionally when I have more time, but this AM/PM program is my mainstay and in constant use. It works!

AND IN RESPONSE TO THE FOLLOWING POST MADE BY "BARBPL":

very boring - little or no challenge February 20, 2001
It's probably just me - perhaps I should have NOT purchased this tape. I was looking for a video that would really help me "jump-start" my day. I found this to be really boring, the movements quite basic and Callen's personality very cloying. This might be a wonderful relaxation tape, but I do not see the effect I was hoping for.

I'M GLAD TO SEE THAT THIS POST BARELY MADE A DENT IN THE 4.5 STARS THIS VIDEO GOT REVIEWS FOR.
ALL OF CALLAN PINCKNEY'S VIDEOS ARE AMAZING AND YOU GET IMMEDIATE RESULTS. ALL OTHER WORKOUT VIDEOS CURRENTLY ON THE MARKET CANNOT COMPARE!
MY ADVICE TO "BARBPL": TRY IT AGAIN, OR TRY ONE OF HER OTHER VIDEOS. ... Read More
