I predominantly use Callantics as a leg workout, but I'm wondering if I should give the abs and arms another try. Regular barre abs and arms don't seem to do much for me but Callantics is a little different.

That's funny. I think of Callanetics as primarily core and ab work and now more arms because of the new planks/push-ups series. I hate leg work and so appreciate the fact that I get some leg work by doing it.
If I thought of it as leg intensive I probably wouldn't do it as often.

Thank you for your answer!
I don't want any big arms at all - compact and lean is totally fine with me. Pity about the rotations, I so enjoy not having to choose today's workout :-) I've done some Callanetics before, including with Sandra at her old site, but never tried to do a Callanetics only time. Maybe I should give it a try.. |

like Lannette, i've always responded well to callanetics. i think you should take progression pictures of your thighs and compare. Callan says pick an identifying mark in the pictures and observe how it changes. it is high rep using just your own body weight. i also recommend making sure you do the stretching that is built into the moves. for example when you elongate, really take advantage of that. you need to give it time too.
