Imagine a fitness plan that comprises just five elements. Imagine a fitness plan that takes just 11 minutes of your time in a day. Imagine a fitness plan that needs no extra equipment, no visits to the gym, but helps you to lead a more active, healthy life. The BX fitness plans are a simple-to-use but progressive series of exercises that help develop strength, flexibility and aerobic fitness for people of all ages and abilities. These plans are not a new fad, they have a proven track record and have been tested in the most challenging of spheres.The BX fitness plans were first developed by the Royal Canadian Air Force (RCAF) in the 1950s. 5BX – five basic exercises – was the brainchild of Bill Orban, who was tasked with developing a fitness plan for the pilots of the RCAF, many of whom were considered unfit to fly at the time. The plans met two criteria: they were time efficient – just 11 minutes – and they required no additional equipment. Orban devised a plan that was progressive and effective and more than 65 years on, those plans are as relevant today as they were in the 1950s. The founder of BX fitness plans first discovered 5BX in the 1970s and then re-discovered these exercises after a 40 year break. Although four decades older, he was soon on his way to a healthier and more active life. His goal now is to make the BXPlans relevant to all generations. The premise: simple exercises that can be done anywhere and only take 11 minutes and can be used by adults and children. The plans get you into an exercise routine, which is the foundation of a healthy, active life. BX fitness programmes offer an easy way to get fit and, through their progressive nature, guide you to reach your fitness potential. In this book, we have adapted the 5BX fitness programme to make it both relevant and simple to implement, so whether you are a parent, carer, teacher, coach or teaching assistant, you will have the resources to offer a fun-filled, practical route to helping children live an active and healthy lifestyle.
