OPINION:
The thing about fitness is there are so many ways to do it. Before TV and social media, there was no such thing as the "Ab dominator 3000".
It was just a seven-day work week hauling dirt around the homestead. The "Thigh Triple Toner Tanner Turbo Two fifty" wasn't a thing, just the "We have to walk 7km to the post office through two streams and fight the eels off."
It's understandable that people search out new and exciting ways to stay in shape though, and my co-host Megan is doing exactly that by taking on the Everest Challenge at the Mitre 10 sports park this coming six weeks.
She'll be climbing the equivalent elevation of Mt Everest; in the time it took Ed Hillary to complete the deed. (I wonder if Ed ever hit the ab roller?)
A bold move, and not one that I was going to undertake. I thought I might try some of my own challenges though. How about the Indy 500 drive challenge?
