  • Hello everyone! I know I'm late to the party, but I'd love to join in on this thread. I started a Callanetics challenge thread a while ago, but it seems to be dying. To be honest, if I know others aren't going to be dedicated to being accountable to exercising with me, I start getting lazy about it myself. I know...not a valid excuse. But you all sound like a dedicated crowd to me, so I'm excited to be joining this thread.

    I have recently purchased the newer dvds from Callanetics called Callanetics Evolution (One hour long) and Cardio Callanetics. Cardio Callanetics is 30 minutes of Cardio followed by 30 minutes of the Callanetics Evolution dvd. So I've dedided, since I'm new to this and not in the best of shape yet, I'd do the Cardio portion on Tuesdays and Thursdays and the 30-minute Evolution portion on the same dvd on Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays.

    I also just started doing a facial workout dvd that got great reveiws on amazon. In just the four times I've done it in the past week and a half, I can already see it's started to firm up my double chin. I can't wait to see what it does when I do it religiously. It's called "Tal Reinhart Facial Workout: Because the Muscles Don't End at the Neck ". But I'm lazy with doing this 20-minute workout, too, so I want to be accountable here and do this following all my other workouts.

    So I'll put up my schedule here of what I want to do on which days and follow it with a little red heart () once it's done. This is going to be so much fun! I can already feel the exercise motivation returning into my lazy bones.
