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 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, modeled miniskirts, and managed a bar with Western waitresses.

Toward the end of 1987 Pinckney was invited to represent the United States in the World Elephant Polo Competition in Nepal.

Pinckney believed that many people were suffering back problems due to the radical fitness movement in the United States during that period.

This was a shorter version of the original one-hour program with more basic explanations for people who had never experienced the Callanetics method.

Later that year, Callan published her third book, Callanetics Countdown for people who did not have enough time for a full hour of exercise.

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

In November 1990, Pinckney decided to set up a franchise for Callanetics studios and introduce a proper teacher training program.

Pinckney set up a new Manhattan studio in the attic of Carnegie Hall to be run by her student Ruth Jeffries.

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.

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.

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.
