There's a major ongoing Callanetics Challenge at Low Carb Friends. There's a thread of progress photos, plus they have a monthly thread in which they all state how many hours they're committing to for the month.

I like the idea of committing to monthly hours, but I don't want to participate in another forum, plus a simpler, smaller group would suit me better. I'd be interested in participating in a Challenge here.

What would work for me would be a list of names, plus exercise intentions for the month, which we could amend as the month progresses. For example:

DECEMBER (2 weeks left)

Kirsteen - 3 hours (2 full workouts, 2 arms, 2 tum, 2 hips/thighs)
Mary - 6 hours (3 full Cardio Callanetics workouts each week)
Jasmine - 1 3/4 hours (7 sessions of hips/thighs stretches/exercises )

For anyone with limitations who'd like to try Callanetics, I'd suggest that you get at "Callanetics for Beginners" - it is conducted at a very gentle pace, with an emphasis on approaching the exercises with care, to suit people like me who have physical limitations. I've been able to adapt the exercises to do them lying down in bed, as and when I feel able.
