A 71-year-old Japanese man has become the world's oldest person to climb Mount Everest. His age made him the oldest person to have climbed the 8,850 meter (29,035 feet) peak. The list of climbers who have conquered Everest include a blind person, a man with an artificial leg and the youngest, a 16-year-old boy. We all know there’s great risk and therefore great preparation involved in attempting a feat like that. Approximately 10% of the people who attempt the climb die. I’m not encouraging you to climb Mt. Everest, although that’s a great goal to work towards. However I am encouraging you to work your body at least 3 times a week. Try this workout. It requires nothing but you and floor space. Do 30 burpees demonstrated below. A burpee is basically a squat thrust with a pushup at the bottom and a jump at the top. Rest as much as needed. If you have to break it up into 30 sets of 1 burpee that’s fine. Just get 30 in. The future goal is to get in 30 consecutive burpees. The extended future goal is a ladder called Jason’s Burpees (20, 19, 18 … 1) in under 25 minutes.
Remember 1 Timothy 4:8 For physical training is of some value, but godliness has value for all things, holding promise for both the present life and the life to come.
Another challenging post...Keep them coming. I will have to come with a personal fitness goal.
