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.

This combination parenting and personal finance book helps parents teach their children key money skills--such as saving, spending, budgeting, investing, building credit, and donating--that they'll need to become financially secure adults. In this updated edition of Raising Financially Fit Kids, Joline Godfrey shares knowledge gleaned from two decades of preparing children and families for financial independence and stewardship, philanthropic effectiveness, and meaningful economic lives. At the heart of the book are three big ideas: • Financial education is not just about the money; it’s about building great families and raising self-confident kids who have the tools to realize their dreams. • Financial sustainability means living within one’s means and acquiring skills to create and manage human and financial capital. • Giving wisely is a global citizen’s responsibility. Designed for parents, grandparents, mentors, advisors, and educators, Raising Financially Fit Kids uses ten core money skills applied across five developmental life stages: children, tweens, middle schoolers, high schoolers, and twenty-somethings. Each stage includes age-appropriate activities that make financial fitness fun, from mall scavenger hunts to financial film festivals. In this global economic landscape, we all need financial fluency. Whether your child is five, fifteen, or twenty-five years old, it’s never too late to teach financial literacy. Raising Financially Fit Kids prepares your children for the complexities of living in a global economy and helps your family up your game from good to great.

One in three children in the U.K. are now classed as ‘obese’. This shocking statistic is the inspiration for Fit Kids; a children’s fitness book aimed at increasing physical activity without the need for specialist equipment and an excessive amount of time. Based on the Royal Canadian Air Force Fitness Plan the progressive exercises will help all children 7-17 years old achieve and maintain their ideal level in only 15 minutes a day. The activities in this book are supposed to be FUN! They focus on playing and games as opposed to running on a stationary treadmill or jogging without a purpose. Each exercise is designed to ensure that children look forward to their twelve-minute session each day. Setting this habit early means that they will be less likely to look for excuses as to why they can’t exercise when they are older. It sets them up to enjoy fitness for life. Fully illustrated, with integral progress charts, fitness can be fun. Chapters include: healthy eating; fitness in schools; why exercise is important; age appropriate activities and much more. With a minimum of space and just 15 minutes a day, Fit Kids is ideal for fitness at home and in the school.
