Update on 5BX
Jun. 17th, 2020 12:44 pmWe've ended up modifying the 5BX (Five Basic Exercises) program to pull in some from the XBX (Ten, the women's program), which has more stretches.
We're currently on chart 1, and here's what we're doing each morning:
- [5BX] toe touches
- [XBX #2] standing knee lifts
- [XBX #3] standing lateral bend
- [5BX] situps
- [5BX] prone chest and leg raises
- [XBX] #7] lying side leg lifts
- [5BX] pushups
- [XBX] #9] lying forward leg lifts
- [5BX] running in place
At our current level, this is nominally supposed to take less than 17 minutes, and we're doing it in about 12 (plus some time for stretches afterwards.)
It feels really good and hasn't been a burden, so I'm pretty pleased with it!
