In these self-isolating times, I have gone back to the future for my workouts, replacing my four times a week gym therapy with just five calisthenics exercises developed by the Royal Canadian Air Force.

Dubbed the 5BX program, it involves five basic exercises, takes just 11 minutes and needs absolutely no equipment. The program, launched in the 1950s, has also been credited with starting the fitness boom after it sold 25 million copies. Now, as we emerge from our chocolate egg comas, it offers a gentle way to kickstart our fitness routines.

Celebrity devotees include Helen Mirren and generations of British royals. I first came across it on my parents bookshelf when I was a kid. As someone who wouldnt be seen dead in a gym, it suited me then, and now as someone who cant do without gym, it suits me now.

The five exercises boost flexibility, strength and aerobic fitness. They start absurdly easy and become progressively harder, level by level, across six charts.
