Two compact fitness plans, organized for home use

This volume brings together the Royal Canadian Air Force’s 5BX and XBX plans, originally developed for pilots working in remote, confined settings. The programs are presented as short routines requiring little space and no specialized gym equipment. Each uses fitness targets and progress measures, with adjustments described in relation to age, body type, and schedule. The plans address both muscular fitness across the body and cardiovascular conditioning, making the book a structured guide to exercise without relying on a gym or outdoor setting. The source identifies 5BX for men and XBX for women; that distinction is part of how the programs are organized in this edition.

Good fit for readers who enjoy

  • Adults seeking a structured exercise plan for home use
  • Readers interested in short routines with progress targets
  • Those looking for a combined guide to the 5BX and XBX programs

Book overview

 

This tried and true method for improving and maintaining your overall physical fitness has been enthusiastically endorsed by the public since its initial release in 1961. Originally designed for use by Royal Canadian Air Force pilots stationed in remote, confined bases in the far north, the 5BX and XBX fitness plans (for men and women respectively) don't require access to complicated gym equipment or even the outdoors. To be in the best shape of your life, all you need is this slim book, an average-sized living room, and a little determination.

The fitness plans presented in this volume are unique in their simplicity and effectiveness. With clear-cut fitness "targets" and tools for measuring your progress, the 5BX and XBX programs are designed to let you develop your physical fitness at your own pace, adjusting for your age, body type, and schedule. The XBX and 5BX plans are balanced to target the muscles of your entire body as well as your cardiovascular system. There's no need to mix and match with other exercises or routines. These simple 10-15 minute workouts are all you need to feel fitter and healthier than ever!
