... I have used Callanetics on and off for the last few years- it is an exercise video but doesnt involve v much aerobic exercise. Its all about lengthening and toning muscles and body strength, and every exercise is purely a stretch. It does get your heart going on a few of them, but its nice and gentle, and your muscles feel great afterwards (altho a bit wobbly straight after!).
I would recommend this to anyone on a VLCD as aerobic exercise burns lots of calories and our bodies may feel weak and we get dizzy afterwards. This one isnt so much about calorie burning as the toning and firming- which personally I think is more important than anything if we dont want to be left with loose skin and no muscles once all the weight has dropped off!
So maybe give it a try- its quite old, from the late 80s i think, but its very good and im sure you can get it on DVD nowadays (altho mine is VHS). Let me know if you try it what you think!
