In 2000 (and on a few other occasions) I published and claimed copyright on this exercise description (bolding added now):
Slow curl ups :
Description – lay on your back, knees bent to about 90 degrees and feet flat on the floor. Curl up the trunk to a full sitting position
Level One – Cheat ups – slow down
Level Two – Cheat ups – slow down plus isometric stops on the lower
Level Three – Reverse Curl Downs
Level Four – Slow up / Slow down
Level Five – Slow up / slow down plus isometric stops on the lower.

Level Three – Reverse Curl Downs
Level Four – Slow up / Slow down
Level Five – Slow up / slow down plus isometric stops on the lower
And I said to myself: “That looks familiar!” So I cross-referenced it and I said to myself: “Wow! No wonder that looked familiar!”
And I came upon this description another two more times by the same 'author' in different publications.
I noted that the use of this description was in the absence of credits or references to the origin or permission to use from the original author (myself), and that the 'author' claimed copyright....
