I repeated Pure Callanetics with Lacey today and I felt it a bit more. I kept in mind that the pulses need to be tiny and I really engaged. My legs were shaky afterward. I am loving using these in between live Barre workouts. My legs and backside are really shaping up and I don't feel like I'm beating myself up.

Dear Lannette
Thank you for all your help. I have started the callanetics countdown book. After completion I am looking forward to trying my callanetics countdown dvd which looks like amazing value- express callanetics, an updated original and an updated super all on one dvd! Thank you for the coupon you posted last week, which I used to buy and download classic callanetics which I will use as a long callanetics, along with original 10 in 10 and super eventually. I am looking forward to callaneticking again. Thank you for all your help and happy new year! |

1. If your feet are too wide, rotating from the hips could stress your knees. Make sure you are standing with your feet right under your hip (pelvic/ASIS) bones. Don't mistake outer edge of the hips for your hip bones. Feel for the two bones (one on either side) in the front hips above your thighs. It's narrower than most people think it is. 2. Your feet need to be straight ahead - don't trust them look down and check. 3. Your weight needs to be in your heels. Placing your weight on the front of your heels can place stress in your knees. 4. Be sure that the turn out is from the hip joint not the knees or ankles. If none of that helps you can lie on the floor, face up. Flex one foot and concentrate on rolling out from the hip, not the knee or foot. Feel what this feels like. Repeat a couple of times and then try the other legs. As far as I know it isn't a forced rotation. It just keeps your knees facing forward. If you are streaming then check out the foundation series video on alignment. That's where I learned the tips I mentioned above. Let me know if any of that helps.

The one tip I've heard is to keep your knees slightly apart while doing it and don't stay too low. In three Countdown book they show it done kneeling with hands on hips, knees hip width apart, hips high and barely bent. Maybe you could try it that way and see if they still hurt. Are you streaming? If you are I can try to find and point you toward a session where they show a substitution at the barre. (It's too hard to describe. I think you'd do better to see it.
