5.0 out of 5 stars If I can do it, you can do it too!!!, October 27, 2005

By	marlbrnh (San Diego, USA) - See all my reviews

For the most part of my life I thought that I had to give in and accept, that my hips and behind are genetically determined to be big and unsightly. I spent hours and hours at the gym trying to defy nature. I hated it, but I went anyway. No diet or workout helped. I thought I left no stone unturned, but I pretty much stayed the same in the areas I soooo wanted to change. Then, after years and years of going to the gym and approx. 15 workout tapes later, I found the ONE workout that changed my life: "Buns of Steel" by Greg Smithey. Unfortunately, it is no longer available new and can only be obtained used (VHS) at Amazon. In 8 weeks, without any additional diet, I dropped 2 pant sizes and got toned and lean in no time. The only thing I missed was that my behind was still a little droopy and not lifted enough for my taste.

Quick Callanetics will take care of that. In fact, I am so hooked on this workout that I ordered some other Callanetics DVD's as well. The workout itself seems too easy at first. Also, I almost didn't give it a good try, because the instructor is soo annoying to me... But then you realize, you are not doing it right and you wonder, why you can't get it right. I have one advice: put one hand on the area you would like to work out to check if you are in the right spot. It will help you target the area to the point where you indeed can't finish the 100 reps without taking a breather.... I bet you, your legs will be shaking and you will feel it too..
Now, after 36 years of sulking and thinking "why me", two kids (3 and 4 years) later I stopped going to the gym, I workout at home ONLY (3-5 times a week). I am free of diets and such, but the best thing yet: I have never looked and felt better in my life... And my husband...? Boy, does he love it too!!

5.0 out of 5 stars What Callanetics have done for me., October 29, 2007

By	Vivianne "vivianne" (cleveland ohio) - See all my reviews

I am 61 years old, I used callanetics years ago but didn't really get into it though even the short time I used it it strengthened and elongated my legs really fast.
Recently though I have tried so many different exercises nothing was working when I remembered callanetics.
I am on my 12th hour and the difference in my body is absolutely amazing.
I finally have gotten my daughters interested in exercise, they are thrilled with callanetics.
IT WORK AND FAST!

4.0 out of 5 stars Nice Focused Bun Work, January 9, 2007

By	Christina Bleu "funny girl" (Milwaukee, WI) - See all my reviews

I agree with the reviewers who said this could use some updating. It is very 80's - From the set to the hairdos to the music.
The actual exercises however, are very focused and definitely worthwhile. What I actually have done is memorized some of the poses and do them while I am watching my television or talking on the phone.
