• I love Callan's teaching style & technique. I've also added 4 of her dvd's to my collection. This book is comprehensive & could work as a stand-alone Callanetics resource. The 10 years younger dvd (the counterpart to this book) gives good visuals of the nuances of the movements with Callan teaching every-day students.

Callan Pinckney (born as Barbara Biffinger Pfeiffer Pinckney September 26, 1939 – March 1, 2012) was an American fitness professional who created and popularized as well as excelled in the Callanetics exercises.

Pinckney's nine books became international best-sellers and the video series that followed sold over 6 million copies. Pinckney's first video release, 'Callanetics: 10 Years Younger In 10 Hours', outsold every other fitness video in the US. Within three years it had become the all-time individual best-selling fitness video.^[1]

Early life[edit]

Pinckney was born on September 26, 1939 in Savannah, Georgia. She was born with spinal curvatures, one hip higher than the other and severely turned-in feet. As a result, Pinckney was forced to wear leg braces for seven years. In an effort to correct her alignment, she spent the next decade studying classical ballet.

Eleven years around the world[edit]

After two years of college, Pinckney went to Bremerhaven, Germany. For nearly a year, she travelled across Europe, sleeping in a Volkswagen. She took odd jobs whenever she needed. When Pinckney reached London, she worked manual labor jobs such as shoveling coal and snow for eight hours for little more than $3 a day.

After her time in London, Pinckney went to Cape Town, South Africa, where she obtained a job with an advertising agency. After a year there, she traveled to Zimbabwe, Kenya, and Zaire. She worked part of the time tracking animal migrations in the wild. To supplement her income, she took on menial labor jobs. Due to Pinckney's inadequate diet, she suffered from severe amoebic dysentery and lost 78 pounds. Her heavy rucksack also put a great strain on her back, shoulders and knees.

Pinckney soon decided to travel to Asia. She went first to Mumbai, India and then to Sri Lanka. During this time in Sri Lanka, Pinckney realized that her muscles had lost all their tone and she had no flexibility or extension. The movements she had been able to do as a teenager were now almost impossible. After reaching Japan, Pinckney obtained a job recording British voice-over tapes for advertising. She also wrote about her experiences on the road for a Japanese magazine, modelled miniskirts, and managed a bar with Western waitresses.

Eleven years after leaving London, Pinckney returned there. Regarding her medical condition, one British doctor advised her to have surgery on her knees; another said her back would never recover. She was in constant pain and in an attempt to alleviate her suffering she turned first to ballet and then to yoga and toning classes. She also attended the Rehabilitation Exercise Studio set up by German dancer Lotte Berk.^[2] Berk had seriously injured her back while dancing and had devised a program to ease her discomfort whilst maintaining her strength and flexibility.

Returning home[edit]

In 1972 Pinckney returned to Savannah, Georgia. Soon after her arrival, she left for New York City to assume a teaching job at an exercise studio. However, after disagreements with the owner regarding the exercise regime, Pinckney quit the studio.

During this period, Pinckney worked to find new exercise methods. She found ways to protect her back and increase the effectiveness of different exercises. She learned how to strengthen and alleviate the pain from her knees. She also discovered that she could quickly tone her muscles using these new movements. She started teaching private students in her apartment.

After consulting with a numerologist, Pinckney decided to change her first name to 'Callan' to help provide her direction for her future.

Birth of Callanetics[edit]

As her exercise classes grew in popularity, Pinckney needed to give them a name. One of her students would always refer to them as 'Callan-etics', a name-blend of 'Callan' and 'athletics'. Pinckney decided to use that name.

In 1984, after seven years of teaching Callanetics, Pinckney published her first book, Callanetics: 10 Years Younger In 10 Hours. Within two years the book had sold close to a million copies in the United States alone. She was profiled in Time Magazine^[3] and People Magazine^[4] and appeared on every major chat show.

In 1986, Pinckney released the first Callanetics video.^[5] Based on word-of-mouth, the video became a best-seller. In 1987, Pinckney trained one of her advanced students to become the first certified Callanetics instructor.

Toward the end of 1987 Pinckney was invited to represent the United States in the World Elephant Polo Competition in Nepal.^[6] She put together the Callanetics Ladies Team which included amongst others orca trainer Judy Peterson. The team finished in sixth place. Pinckney said that riding the elephant was therapeutic for her back.^{[citation needed]}

In 1988, Pinckney published Callanetics For Your Back. Pinckney believed that many people were suffering back problems due to the radical fitness movement in the United States during that period. The book became another bestseller. To tie in with the book release, Pinckney released a new video Super Callanetics. This video showed more intense versions of the familiar Callanetics exercises. The video also became a bestseller.^{[citation needed]}

Return from London[edit]

In 1989, Pinckney released the Beginning Callanetics video. This was a shorter version of the original one-hour program with more basic explanations for people who had never experienced the Callanetics method. Pinckney created the shorter program and included some of the exercises she had written about in her “Callanetics For Your Back” book. Later that year, Callan published her third book, Callanetics Countdown for people who did not have enough time for a full hour of exercise. It became another bestseller.

In March 1989 Pinckney traveled to London to promote a paperback edition of the original Callanetics book in Harrods department store.

Callanetics franchise[edit]

In November 1990, Pinckney decided to set up a franchise for Callanetics studios and introduce a proper teacher training program. She opened the Callanetics Franchise Corporation with headquarters in Denver, Colorado. From here teachers were trained and licences were given for studios across the country. Pinckney set up a new Manhattan studio in the attic of Carnegie Hall to be run by her student Ruth Jeffries. Over the next 12 months, nine more studios opened in the United States.

In May 1991 the Callanetics Franchise Corporation received its first requests from people wanting to set up studios in England and Scotland. By September several more teachers from the UK were trained in Denver with the intention of setting up studios across England. . Fourteen studios were opened in Belgium and Switzerland and the Callanetics Franchise Corporation were receiving requests from all over the world. To cope with the demand for qualified Callentics teachers, Pinckney started training master teachers who would be authorized to train teachers in their own countries.

Pinckney's next book, Super Callanetics, gave her the chance to give a more in depth explanation of the advanced exercises seen in the earlier video of the same name. In 1992, she published the Quick Callanetics video and book series. In them Pinckney demonstrated three short programs each aimed at toning a different area of the body in only 20 minutes. In 1993 she published “AM/PM Callanetics”, a program consisting of two daily routines to shape up the entire body. The book and accompanying video contained a 25-minute morning routine to energize participants for the day and a 25-minute evening routine to relax them for the night.

Retirement[edit]

In 1994, Pinckney published Callanetics: Fit Forever. The book addressed many middle-aged concerns from dieting and nutrition to menopause and stress. She included an entire eating plan and aerobic exercise that would increase the heart rate but without sharp, jarring movements, leaping up and down to loud music or pressure on the back or joints. It had to be challenging but without any discomfort or stress. With CardioCallanetics the Callanetics method was now complete. That same year, Pinckney released her final video, The Secrets Of Callanetics.

In 1994, due to management and financial issues, the Callanetics Franchise Corporation went out of business. At this point, Pinckney decided to enter permanent retirement. The strain of constant promotion and the stress of the Franchise collapse were taking their toll on her. With Pinckney retired, Callanetics faded popularity as people began turning to more high-profile exercise techniques such as Pilates and Yoga.

Future of Callanetics[edit]

In her final years Pinckney attempted to relaunch Callanetics.^[7] Several people and organizations, most notably Benita Cantieni,^[8] South African Callanetics ^[9] and the US based Callanetics Management Company ^[10] had released their own versions of Callanetics.

Pinckney died on March 1, 2012 in Savannah.^[11]

After the manic mania of the Physique 57 challenge, I wanted something that wasn’t so intense. I did love Callanetics when I was a teen when this exercise method was all the rage. But I don’t remember what kind of shape it gave me. It couldn’t have been bad if I liked the program. So I decided to go back to my original 1987 Callanetics Dvd to check if the 10 years in 10 hours had any validity.

So does it work? Yes and No.

I will say this, this program reshapes the body. You can actually see it reshaping your body. The slightly cut look I had in my legs and arms from P57 was immediately erased by Callanetics. This wasn’t due to any loss of muscle mass but the fact that Callanetics really concentrates on stretching. The time it takes you to see changes will vary from person to person, but I guarantee you will have beautiful legs in at least 3 to 4 classes.

Unfortunately it won’t dramatically change the shape of your gut and hips. Will it smooth out those areas? Yes. But to see any huge changes, you will have to do plenty more sessions than just 10 and you will need to combine the program with a diet. In her book, founder Callan Pinckney included photos of a plus size model who completely changed her shape without diet and without losing weight. But she didn’t state how long these changes took place. From my experience after 10 classes, I would say without dieting, the changes you want will take at least 3 to 6 months of steady Callanetics sessions.

I also have a note of warning. Because this program works fast and changes your shape quickly, you will notice oddities. You will notice little pockets of fat popping out in areas where you never had fat before in your life. Don’t panic, it will smooth out after a few more classes. Because your muscles are toning fast, it pushes the lighter fat tissue out of the way. As you work the fat will redistribute and resettle in a more pleasing way.

Another note of warning for this program. This program will not give you cut muscles. You will not get a six pack or sinewy arms from this program. It will give you muscle but your shape will be refined.

This program is wonderful and it is extremely easy on the knees and back. The only drawback I think it would have for some is that it is very slow. There are no pulsing music beats and Callan Pinckney has a very melodious and calming voice. It could bore some exercisers.

I definitely plan to use this program for 10 more sessions in order to see what changes occur after 20 classes. If the pictures in Callan’s book are true, after 20 is when the real magic begins.
