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

- Your'e going to stick to this one!
Even though I adore Callanetics and have done it on and off for the last 10 years, I never seemed to be able to stick to it long enough for those promissed results to show. I just can't stick to a routine which takes an hour at a time, as the original program does - I just can't stay focused that long!
So here's where the Am/Pm program comes in! In my opinion, it's the best off all the Callanetics programs - and I have them all!! It is the only program that I have EVER been able to stick to.
I can easily motivate myself to do these short programs twice a day, 3-5 times a week. They only last 20 minutes and time just flyes by!
I do the Am program first thing in the morning, and start my day of feeling great! The Pm program I do shortly before bedtime, because it leaves me ... Read More

- 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. ... 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 ... Read More

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 ... Read More

- Good short Callanetics routines
I recently tried Callanetics for the first time via the original 60-minute program. I loved the short, targeted, effective movements, but because it was difficult for me to find time to do the entire workout, I decided to give the AM/PM tape a try. The two 20-minute workouts on this tape include a majority of the exercises from the original video (some have been left out). Although the workouts are designed to be used in the morning (energizing) and in the evening (relaxing), the inclusion of moves in either the AM or PM routine seemed arbitrary to me. In addition, I found the 20 minute format to be a bit TOO short for my liking; just when I was starting to feel like I was getting a good workout, it was over. For some people, however, this time period might be ideal, and this video does offer ... Read More
