to energize participants for the day and a 25-minute evening routine to relax them for the night. Retirement In 1995, Pinckney published her final book Callanetics: Fit Forever. The book addressed many middle-aged concerns from dieting and nutrition to menopause and stress. She included an 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. Pinckney continued to advise instructors on her program for several years before entering retirement in 1998. Death Pinckney died on March 1, 2012, in Savannah.
