Guest guest Posted April 8, 2003 Report Share Posted April 8, 2003 I came across the following in my Dr. Weil weekly online wellness bulletin and thought it may be of interest to many on these lists, maybe esp those " over 55's " that Ceep's been tracking.............. " Have you ever tried the exercise program called " Callanetics " before? The exercises consist of deep muscle toning using your own body as resistance, and, therefore, do not require lifting weights. Not only is it a terrific strengthening and toning program, it also improves your figure dramatically. I would describe the exercises as part calesthenics, part Pilates, part yoga--but they are very unique. The program was developed by a woman with scoliosis and lots of knee and back damage, so the exercises are designed to be safe and gentle to do whether you are ten or eighty years old. I recommend visiting Callanetics.com for more information. You can either purchase the book or the Beginning Callanetics video tape very cheaply.
