y-plan

The Y Plan is an exercise programme devised by Lesley Mowbray and Jill Gaskell for the London YMCA, and very popular in United Kingdom during the 1990s.
The programme is choreographed by Producer Jane S. Linter and distributed by Virgin Media Group. Emphasising short but regular workouts without any specialist equipment, the first book based on the programme, titled The Y Plan, was published in 1990.
Television presenter Anthea Turner was the public face of The Y Plan, appearing alongside the creators in numerous books, 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.

    System Boiler (Y-plan) with Google Nest 3rd Gen and OpenTherm?

    Hi I've got an Ideal Logic+ System Boiler (installed by my plumber as a Y-plan currently in the simple on/off mode) with Google Nest 3rd Gen. Is it possible to upgrade my system so that the Nest 3rd Gen controls the boiler via the OpenTherm protocol for both the heating and for the hot water...

    OpenTherm on y-plan

    Hi, I've just had a Ideal Logic + 15 H installed. I was wondering how an OpenTherm thermostat would tie in with programmer and how would I replace the current thermostat (link it out on the terminals?) Also, does the boiler know when its heating for hot-water or for the rads? It appears to be...

    Conversion of gravity fed HW to Y-plan, in North Wales, anyone?

    Currently, the hot water is scolding hot because the room thermostat is set so high. The only control over the HW is via the boiler thermostat, which is insufficient. If a cylinder stat were fitted and the pipework converted to a standard Y-plan system, that ought to fix it. For the time being...

    Any disadvantages to not have a room stat on a Y-plan?

    Hi, I am a sparky. I had to check the wiring of a vented system for a landlord who thought the programmer was faulty in one of his properties. I found, after looking at the wiring diagram for a Y plan, that the system did not have a room stat fitted - just a link wire. The sytem has TRVs on...

    Wiring a y-plan system for a worcester greenstar 28he without capacitor

    Is there a way of wiring this boiler to a y-pan system so it does not require a capacitor on the switched live. I have wired it up but the heating will not switch off. After checking everything Im assuming it's because I've not got the capacitor in the circuit. Thanks in advance

    Pump on 24/7

    Not sure how long this has been going on, because I only noticed when the pump got a bit noisy, but pump is on day and night, including when boiler is not on. I can't switch it off at the plug when I go to bed, because heating/water comes on before I get up. I assume pump should be switched on...
