Hey Sonkie, :wavey:have you heard of callanetics?
Copy and pasted from the website....
Callanetics was originally developed to improve back problems through the use of small and delicate movements consistently applied. There is no sudden jerking or hard impact which can cause injury - even eighty-year-olds can do these exercises safely. Hard work to begin with, the exercises are invigorating and make you feel great. One hour of
Callanetics is equal to 24 hours of aerobic dancing in terms of visible results.
If you find this hard to believe, try it yourself. You'll see spectacular results within hours!
*This is my bit*
It's great, we bought the book years and years ago and recently pulled it back down from the attic. No jumping around or vigerous movements just slow stretches etc.
There's one in the book for toning arms, and I try and do it every few days but the day after doing it my arms REALLY feel it! so it must be doing something right?
Stand with your arms in the air and stretch up as far as you can...then stretch a tiny bit more! hold for as long as you can then slowly drop your arms forward and downwards so you're holding them out straight in front of you and slowly bend your knees. Again hold for as long as you can. (It doesn't matter of its not for very long) Then again, very slowly lower your arms passing the floor and up so they are pointing behind you - knees still bent and arms straight. Push them to the limit by stretching behind you for as long as you can then reverse and repeat 3 times. You'll definately feel it the day after!
I hope I've described it accurately enough for you to try it out.
Don't worry though if not, the website says it will be putting the exercises on soon.ATM it shows pics of ppl who have tried callanetics and the difference in their body shape within weeks.
Apologies for the very long-winded post... hope i've helped x
