Publisher Description
The CALLANETICS FOREVER FIT plan focuses on the special health and fitness needs of women over 30, whether they are just starting a fitness programme, or already in good shape. There is guidance on good nutrition with aerobic exercise (to strengthen the heart) and strategies for stress management - both of which are more important than ever. A new, specially developed, easy-to-follow CALLANETICS exercise plan, targeting key areas of the body (stomach, legs, buttocks and hips, back and upper body) is included with special exercises for women with back, knee or hip conditions. The programme is designed to build the strength needed to take women into their later years with greater health, fitness and beauty.
PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
At the age of 57, Pinckney, an author (Callanetics) and exercise instructor with assorted widely selling video programs, focuses on the special needs of older women and individuals who rarely exercise. Modified for the older woman, the "Callanetics" here embrace a nonimpact exercise program involving gentle, deep muscular stretching that is designed to tone and reshape the body without stressing joints. Special routines and suggestions for individuals with arthritis, lower back pain or bad knees and diabetes or circulatory problems are provided. "Cardiocallanetics" includes a low-impact, aerobic component. Pinckney offers chapters that discuss her principles of healthy eating (60% of calories should be derived from complex carbohydrates) and reducing stress. She explains body changes associated with menopause and increased risks with age of heart disease, diabetes and osteoporosis. Her sensible, firm approach illuminates the benefits of a regular exercise routine in harried lives. There is a brief resource section and a list of franchised Callanetics Studios.
