The Y Plan
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Y Plan is an exercise programme devised by Lesley Mowbray and Jill Gaskell for the London YMCA, and popular in the United Kingdom during the 1990s.[1]
The programme is choreographed by producer Jane S. Linter and distributed by Virgin Media Group.[2] Emphasising short but regular workouts without any specialist equipment, the first book based on the programme, titled The Y Plan, was published in 1990.[3]
Television presenter Anthea Turner was the public face of The Y Plan, appearing alongside the creators in numerous books, VHS videos and magazine features. A further video was made, entitled Y-Plan countdown, in which one does an exercise regime of 36 days, with three levels of difficulty. A DVD of the plan was released by the YMCA in 2011.[1]
