I've found this treasure when I was a teenager some 20+ years ago. My ex-Stepmother had a copy of this book and I took it an read it. Suffice to say I never returned it... LOL :-) I still do have it to this day. It is by FAR the best workout book I have ever (well I can't say bought... haha) came across.

I have been getting many requests for tips on how I'm being able to keep my shape the way I am. I'd say there are several factors to this. Firstly, eating low carb... it does help with belly flab!! Believe that. Low carb eaters have much flatter tummies than those who do not.

Second, my running really is helping sculpt a very lean body structure. I can't say enough about this!! I don't think I've EVER been able to get my legs to cooperate as much as I can right now with looking thinner all the time.

Third, and this is what I'm sharing here with you all. It is called Callanetics: 10 Years Younger in 10 Hours. Best. Muscle toning workout. EVER!!! It does NOT bulk you up. I have a hard time keeping this from happening which is why I don't really do a lot of weight training. I don't want to look like a bodybuilder! I could get this way very easily. Instead these workouts only tone and sculpt a very lean and sexy figure, for both women AND men. There are testimonial pages showing this within the book. I just now bought the complimentary DVD's and I am planning to take these workouts to a whole new level.

I hope this inspires some! I'm not kidding these workouts are pretty amazing. Little known in the workout world but so worth it if you find it. FYI, some of the DVD's are a waste and are not created by the original founder of these workouts. If it's not by Callan Pinckney, don't waste your money on it. *hugs*

Just bought the book for 1 cent on amazon! no tax and $3.00 shipping

I have a ? or three about this book and type of exercise program it is. I found the book on Amazon, but it doesn't really talk about what exactly you will be doing....Is it weights, crunches, etc. Just how difficult is this program. As I am 54, with bad knees, back, arthritis, and Fibromyalgia. I am hoping and praying as the weight comes off I will be is less pain and able to work out more than just the treadmill...thanks LilMiss for your help! Blessings~Melanie:)

It is almost like Pilates... sort of. You're using the weight of your body against itself in a series of Fluid movements. It was designed by someone with a back problem, so it's supposed to be able done by those with joint issues. That said, I cannot do all of the techniques... I too have bad knees and not able to apply too much weight agains them. Good luck!!

I ordered the book last night! I am very anxious to get my hands on it! Thanks for sharing this with us (me)....Blessings~Melanie:)

OK... I ordered it from Amazon Used, the old school book that you mentioned. Here we goooo!!

This sounds amazing, thanks! I am ordering mine tonight!
