Review Callanetics - AM/PM [1981] / Universal Pictures UK:Callan Pinckney's Callanetics-a programme of non-impact, deep-muscle exercises-has been popular for decades. In this workout, Callanetics AM/PM, Pinckney presents two 20-minute workouts designed for busy people: an AM Class and a PM Class. "You'll get energised in the morning, completely relaxed in the evening, and of course a great body 24 hours a day," Pinckney promises. She is assisted by a small group of people of varying ages and flexibility levels. The AM Class presents some fairly traditional stretches and other exercises that use a ballet bar (you may substitute a piece of furniture). Some of these are very difficult toning exercises because they work the small muscles (of the hip and outer thigh, for example), and most of the movements are either isometric or little pulses. Most exercise professionals would say that working large muscles through a fuller range of motion is a better use of your time, but Callanetics has always had its followers who claim dramatic results. The PM Class, which she calls "meditation in motion", is quite similar to the morning workout, with more emphasis on stretching. If you're a Callanetics fan, here's a way to divide your workout into two short, manageable parts. -Joan Price, Amazon. [+]com.

Review Mind, Body And Spirit - Kripalu Yoga - Gentle / Body & Spirit Collection Mind:Don't be deceived by the subtitle "gentle". Kripalu Yoga might not be the dynamic form of yoga that is currently fashionable, yet it is of equal value to beginners and intermediate students of yoga. Thankfully the makers chose to feature a short film about the Kripalu Centre at the end of the video, by which time it doesn't matter if you get the impression that it's an American cult. This is meditative yoga based on intense stretching, which leaves you with a calm sense of well-being. Teacher Carolyn Lundeen delivers the introduction like a sensible academic lecture. Those unfamiliar with language such as "give yourself permission" might find this verging on American psychobabble. However, once Lundeen begins to teach, this is almost as good as being in a class. With the darkened room, and spotlit students, one is immediately transferred to serene surroundings with no distractions. The two 30-minute sessions can be done separately or together. The energising first session focuses more on floor work, while the second more relaxing session features more standing poses. [+]Nothing is rushed, no time is wasted with elaborate descriptions, and even the sun salutation (a sequence of postures) appears logical and attainable. This is deal for deep relaxation and systematic stretching of every part of the body. -Lorna V.

Review Keli Roberts - The Ultimate Step Workout / 20th Century Fox Home Entertainment:This step workout is broken into three segments for different levels of stamina and complexity. You can do just level 1 (12 minutes) or continue through level 2, for 22 minutes, or through level 3, for 32 minutes. Within each segment, Keli Roberts's assistants demonstrate different intensities, so you can work at your own pace as you build endurance. Roberts instructs well, with plenty of safety and alignment tips, and she repeats the combinations enough for you to get them. But the camera has an annoying habit of changing angles when she first introduces a new pattern, which is just when you want to keep watching her feet. Advanced exercisers will add some propulsion moves, such as jumping onto the step. After the step workout and stretch, you get eight minutes of killer abdominals, and finally a calming, guided relaxation. Roberts is a celebrity trainer and you can see why from the professional way she instructs this video-and from the to-die-for body that must motivate her clients! -Joan Price, Amazon. com.

Review Barbara Currie's Power of Yoga / 2 Entertain Video:Barbara Currie's Power of Yoga makes some powerful claims. Promising you "the best body shape ever" Barbara assures the viewer the video will teach you how to "re-charge and re-energise your entire body in just 10 easy minutes a day". The video itself consists of four self-contained sections based on Hatha yoga techniques that can be done individually if you're short on time or all at once for a longer workout. First up is the 10-minute "tone-up" which you should aim to do daily. Once you get used to this try and do the second 10-minute "power workout" for a more advanced stretch. Section 3 is "power toning" which places particular emphasis on arms, bums, tums and thighs. And finally, section 4 brings you "power stretching" aimed at relieving tension. At the start of each exercise Barbara outlines the muscles that each exercise is working and the benefits you will receive-and her glowing good health should be evidence enough for even the most sceptical viewer. All four sections show versions of each exercise for both the beginner and those with previous experience. But although aimed at all levels, Power of Yoga will be of particular interest to beginners. [+]No previous knowledge is assumed and with the easy-to-follow sequences and strong emphasis on working at your own pace, Barbara's soothing voice will encourage even the most hesitant beginner. -Anna Freeman.
