Hey Miss Shimmy, you've mentioned this callanetics several times, can you say more? Do you find it advantageous over the usual squats and such?
for me and my experiance yes I do.
Callanetics is a series of small, gentle, precise motions consistently applied that activate the body's largest most powerful muscles to quickly tighten hips, buttocks, inner and outer thighs; flatten the tummy; lift the bust and firm underarms and tone the entire body. It will also dramatically improve your posture. You will feel the difference after one hour and most people actually see a difference after two hours. By following the simple 60 minute Callanetics workout twice a week, the body you always dreamed about is only hours away.

Does amazing things for saggy bits with none of all that jumping up and down. I must dust off my old video and have another go...
Thanks Miss Shimmy - I'll google it up and check it out
nice posts ladies!
thanx for that
my tips that i had in mind were a little more simpler then those good tips just mentioned
some good things i have learnt along the way:
- when practicing with the cane, place a rubber elastic band at the bottom of it so that it does not slip out of your hand.
-Jamil-
Great tips -- question: w/ the cane - the elastic is good, works well. COuld someone explain how to hold the cane when doing the (great looking) move of whirling the cane in front of you in a figure 8 (Esp looks awesome when doing a back bend and whirling the cane above your chest, out in front of you). But how to hold it in your hand. regular twirling has a method to it for handling, this other twirl though, not sure whether to grab it (looks bad of course), or try between two fingers.....
