King Charles Maintains 11-Minute Daily Exercise Amid Cancer Battle

The monarch's commitment to the 5BX workout, developed by the Royal Canadian Air Force, underscores his proactive approach to health and recovery.

  • King Charles III, despite his cancer diagnosis, continues his long-standing 11-minute daily exercise routine developed by the Royal Canadian Air Force.
  • The 5BX workout, designed in the late 1950s, includes stretching, sit-ups, press-ups, back lifts, and running on the spot, aiming for overall fitness in a short time.
  • Experts suggest the 5BX routine aligns with UK national guidelines for physical activity and could benefit cancer treatment and recovery by maintaining muscle mass and improving cardiorespiratory health.
  • The workout is adaptable for different fitness levels, with modifications available to make exercises more or less intense.
  • King Charles’s active lifestyle, including his exercise routine, horseback riding, hiking, and rowing, alongside a healthy diet, positions him well for his cancer battle.
