Synopsis:

The author of Callanetics presents a program that is specifically tailored to the needs of women over forty, offering clear, easy-to-follow instructions with accompanying photographs as well as additional guidelines for special conditions.

Reviews: Callan, deviser of the nonimpact exercise program named after her, here addresses women older than 40. In the first section, she explains Callanetics principles, then addresses such middle-age concerns as diet, nutrition, menopause, and stress. Her basic tenet that exercise is necessary to a healthy lifestyle she supports with various examples. In the final section she includes illustrated directions for a series of stretches to be followed by specific one-hour workout routines that combine low-impact aerobics with a series of small muscle stretches and contractions. Pinckney's reassuring tone and commonsense guidelines should strike a chord in her intended audience, especially if they're familiar with her other books. Sue-Ellen Beauregard
