JP VS the 7 summits… for a good cause

jp

My buddy JP will be heading down to South America next month to climb one of the Seven Summits. There’s no limits to what JP can do… he’s a strong guy, great character, outdoor freak with a lot of perserverance.

 The Seven Summits are the highest mountains of each of the seven continents – Kilimanjaro, Denali, Elbrus, Aconcagua, Carstensz Pyramid, Vinson and Everest. Summiting them all is regarded as a mountaineering challenge and Jean-Paul Richard is up to the task.

Why take on such a feat? Mr. Richard explains his purpose for the climb is two-fold.

“Everyone has goals that they set for themselves in life and mine have always been physical,” he said. “I wanted to extend this physical challenge to myself but at the same time, I’m climbing to raise awareness of and promote the Soldier On program.”

LEST WE FORGET

poppy

On the 11th hour of the 11th day of the 11th month, Canadians are asked to pause and remember the thousands of men and women who sacrificed their lives fighting for freedom and democracy during the First World War, the Second World War, the Korean War, the Afghanistan conflict and during peacekeeping missions.




Fitness in a 100 words:

■ Eat meat and vegetables, nuts and seeds, some fruit, little starch and no sugar. Keep intake to levels that will support exercise but not body fat. ■ Practice and train major lifts: Deadlift, clean, squat, presses, C&J, and snatch. Similarly, master the basics of gymnastics: pull-ups, dips, rope climb, push-ups, sit-ups, presses to handstand, pirouettes, flips, splits, and holds. Bike, run, swim, row, etc, hard and fast. ■ Five or six days per week mix these elements in as many combinations and patterns as creativity will allow. Routine is the enemy. Keep workouts short and intense. ■ Regularly learn and play new sports.
