Helen Mirren, 80, remains a brilliant testimony of the power of coherence – and not only of his game.
The famous Oscar -winning actress recently revealed that she is still engaging in a 12 -minute daily military training that she claims to have followed faithfully for over 60 years.
Developed in the late 1950s by Dr. Bill Orban for the Royal Canadian Air Force, the XBX plan (ten basic exercises) was originally created to help Air Force staff to increase their overall physical shape without gymnasium or fantasy equipment.

Mirren, who admits that it generally remains in the first two graphics and has “never exceeded the second level”, appreciates that users can start gently and gradually adjust the plan to meet their needs.
Kollins Ezekh, a famous personal trainer based in Los Angeles, said that the main advantages of the XBX program are its simplicity and practicality.

“You don’t need a gym, equipment or even a lot of time-it’s only 12 minutes a day,” he told Fox News Digital. “It makes it realistic for occupied people who find it difficult to remain consistent with training.”
“The routine covers strength, flexibility and endurance, you get a well-balanced session even if it is short,” he added.
“It is an excellent reminder that the physical form should not always be complicated.”
For those who try it for the first time, Ezekh said it was important to rhythm.
“People tend to want results quickly, but if you jump too quickly, you are increasing the risk of injury or exhaustion,” he warned. “I would recommend treating it as a marathon, not a sprint – take the time to build a solid base.”

For the elderly or people with health problems, he recommends obtaining a doctor’s authorization before starting.
“Overall, I think it is an excellent reminder that the physical form should not always be complicated,” said Ezekh. “A little consistency every day goes very far.”
