I find it great as a mix and match thing...do aerobics twice a week for weight loss and callanetics once a week for intense toning.
Word of warning though...REALLY make sure you pay attention and do it properly or you will hurt yourself...and be prepared to seriously hurt like hell the next day after you do it for the first time - way more than any normal exercise makes you hurt!!
Ebay and Amazon have all the videos and books. Totally recommend it for toning up! xxx

Am trying to pluck up the courage to give it a go lol
The videos, although soooo 80's and laughable, are very very very good at explaining how to do them. Please dont be put off by the woman explaining it (Callan Pinkney) as she looks a bit like Skeletor in drag!!
I would suggest taking it very slowly at first, and only doing as many reps as you can. It might help to watch through the explanation bits before each exercise first before attempting it.
And the reason that it hurts like hell afterwards is that its all about deep muscle contractions. You actually dont exert yourself at the time, or so it feels, but by God above you feel it the next day!!
It can be quite hard to do to begin with as the positions are a bit odd, and your body might not move they way its supposed to, but it does get easier the more you do it...and it really does work! Also, once youre used to it, its so slow moving its very relaxing after a hard day. Also, its very good for people with bad backs or bad knees, and all the exercises that can affect these are explained how to do them a different way so you dont hurt yourself.
However like I said before, it will lose inches, but not weight - so good for mixing with some cardio stuff as well. xx
iv googled it and it sounds really good! my aim is to tone up bum and get rid of love handles, so hopefully this will help!
i have just bought a video from amazon which cost me £6 including delivery!
i will keep you posted on the results!
I have a disease that is in my back and has just started to spread through my body and if this is good for that then I'd love to give this a go!
I would give it a try anyway, just be very careful and listen to your own body i.e. if it tells you to stop, then stop! It really is very slow moving and relaxing so its fairly difficult to do yourself damage if you follow the videos correctly. If in doubt ask your GP or physio - they should've heard of callanetics and can tell you whether its suitable or not - good luck! xx
