Royal Canadian Air Force Exercise Plans for Physical Fitness

Royal Canadian Air Force Exercise Plans for Physical Fitness by Royal Canadian Air Force. mass_market edition. ISBN: 9780671664985.

When the Royal Canadian Air Force went about setting up a physical fitness program in the years following World War II, it based its plans on three basic facts: * physical fitness is a direct result of physical activity; * physical activity leading to physical fitness must be vigorous and regular; * and that people will accept challenge. After two years of painstaking research, an RCAF team of doctors, scientists, physical education specialists and artists produced the 5BX and XBX Plans for Physical Fitness. These five basic exercises for men and ten basic exercises for women were designed to provide everyone, no matter what age or physical condition, with the opportunity to achieve and maintain desirable levels of physical fitness. And it only required a very small portion of the day - 11 minutes for men, 12 minutes for women.
