XRCS For several years I did the 5BX exercise plan every morning. 5BX was created by the Canadian Airforce in the 1960's as a quick 10 minute routine to help pilots stay fit anywhere. I loved the idea of a simple exercise plan I could do anywhere. I read about some concerns on doing certain of the 5BX exercises without supervision so I researched some safer exercises online. Through the research my exercises evolved away from the original 5BX but the basic premise is the same. The result of my research is XRCS - a simple exercise plan I can do anywhere. I should note that I am not a fitness professional and you should consult a professional before starting any exercise plan. XRCS won't get me ready to complete in an ironman competition but it does help me maintain a basic level of fitness and any exercise is better than nothing. XRCS is something I have found works for me. If you are interested this website has information on the original 5BX workout. The New York Times also wrote about a 7 minute workout. I share my personal XRCS plan with the hopes of getting people to think about exercising. Read about XRCS, the 5BX and the 7 minute workout and go start an exercise plan that works for you. XRCS
I split my XRCS up and do the Bird Dogs, Planks and Squats every morning before I take a shower. I go for a walk every lunchtime. I have vowed to never miss more than one day in a row of doing my XRCS. |
