Callan Pinckney and lotte berk methods

[tytbody]

What is the major difference between the two methods?

I went back to look at Callanetics and I'd also like to know if you have
Cardio Callanetics do you need Callanetics evolution? Is there a big difference in the two. .

callan studied under lotte berk, but callan was the first to produce barre videos and books back in the 80s.

the difference is the sequencing and reps. callanetics has more reps vs. LBM.

i don't have the evolution or cardio series that came from australia. maybe someone can chime in.

Do you see any similarities in Tracy Anderson's work that says she uses it?

In this article

your link wouldn't work for me.

i don't have any TA workouts - saw a few clips, but not a full-length TA workout.

are you thinking of getting callanetics or LBM? what other barre workouts do you own?

Lotte's classes (in London) moved very quickly. Callan studied and taught under Lotte but felt that there were near-injuries that occurred in Lotte's classes. Since Callan herself had back pain issues she developed a slower, more therapeutic form of classes --> Callanetics.

Yes, i was thinking of getting one of the newer Callanetics, either Revolution or the Cardio one.

On the Collage video reviews it says 30 minutes of the Evolution are included in the Cardio one.

I like the Lotte Berk style so I am trying to acquire more that are on those lines.

I don't mind slower movements as I don't want to do all Cardio-type Barre.

Thank you for telling me she did study under Lotte. I think I did read that. She just went further and got her classes out there before Lotte Started doing her DVDS.

Yes, I was reading that Callan Did it also because of her hip height and she wanted relief. She was a little bit of thing . I guess that goes along with the time also. People were smaller then they are now.

I have,
Burn at the BArre the one with the brown cover.
Xtend Barre
Ballet Physique.
The Bar Method 1&II
Core Barre
Boston Body Barre
Tracy Anderson Booty Barre Beginners

I have the two Callanetics Evolution ones incl the Cardio. I like the Cardio but unfortunately the first 10 minutes (approx) are squats and lunges so because of my knees, I have to substitute other movements until they get to the rest of it unless I fast forward.

There is a half hour toning workout on the Cardio dvd that is chopped from the hour long dvd, so it doesn't flow very well but it's OK esp if you are just wanting to get only one dvd.

The hour long toning dvd I don't do because it's so slow it gets on my nerves and I can get more work done faster on my own because I know this genre of workout so well.

TA is not like Callanetics or Lotte Berke. The latter uses smaller pulsing movements. TA wos uses a large ROM. So they compliment each other. Also, I only consider TA's Mat WO and possibly PDS 2 as barre wos. PDS 3 also has barre work but there are a lot of different floor movements like variations of planks too.

I have Callanetics Evolution but not the cardio one. I like CE when I want a barre wo with more stretching and it is slower than some other barre wos. So it has a calming effect.
