Physical Fitness

Good morning everyone! Up and at ’em. Time for your morning exercise - the 5BX Plan for Physical Fitness! The 5BX program was developed in 1961 for the MALE members of the RCAF, Royal Canadian Air Cadets and dependent children.

A similar program for the ladies and girls was called the XBX Plan for Physical Fitness.

Best of all - the program only takes 11 minutes a day. Does anyone still follow this regime? Did you ever?

This pamphlet was donated to the museum in 1983 (complete with coffee cup stain on the cover). Here is the cover and a few pages from the pamphlet.
