Hello, I am new to this LiveJournal and have discovered that one can see other people's journals (where not protected, private or blocked or whatever) through the "interests" area and I wanted to see if anyone was still aware of Callanetics after all these years since its original days. Looks like there are more non-USA people in this list than USA and I think it is sad in a way that my own countrypeople have never taken to it very much really but at least it is thriving in the United Kingdom, Europe and I believe New Zealand and Australia areas (as "FutureGym" version). Here it is in Chicago and California primarily, apparently. I have recently taken it up again after doing it in the 1980's. It is difficult but extremely effective. Unfortunately Callan Pinckney's book "Callanetics 10 Years Younger in Ten Hours" is out of print and has to be ordered from specialty booksellers -- it details a 15-minute version of her exercises for time crunch periods (still she says you need to do the One Hour Program at least once a week).
