Book Description

April 20, 2007 1583332693 978-1583332696
A revolutionary, twelve-week program to take you to the top level of fitness and wellness from "one of the fittest men on earth" (CNN International).

Sean Burch started out with a lofty goal: to climb Mount Everest solo and without supplementary oxygen. To accomplish this, Sean developed a training regimen that incorporated cardio and strength elements, nutrition, and mental conditioning. That program took him to Everest's summit and helped launch his career as one of the world's premier athletes. He is now considered an "American Fitness Guru" (Men's Journal) and sought after for his unique techniques and his contagious enthusiasm.

Hyperfitness means learning to test and challenge yourself every day. It means setting short-term and long-range goals and achieving them. It means pushing yourself and discovering that you are stronger, tougher, and more capable than you ever dreamed. With Sean's three building blocks to success-hyperstrength (exercise), hyperfare (nutrition), and hypermind (mental conditioning)-you can accomplish any physical and mental goal you can imagine in twelve short weeks.

But what sets this fitness book apart is Sean Burch's incredible personal story and his encouraging, no-holds-barred motivational approach. With such creative daily exercises as speed skater drills, aerial spins, scale the whale, and ski-mogul master jumps clearly illustrated throughout, the workouts are more like obstacle courses-challenging, varied, and fun. Whether you are preparing for a marathon or another event, or are just ready to dedicate yourself to getting in the best shape of your life physically and mentally, Hyperfitness will inspire you to reach the highest level of yourself possible.

5.0 out of 5 stars Motivating and Simple, May 7, 2007
This review is from: Hyper Fitness: 12 Weeks to Conquering Your Inner Everest and Getting Into the Best Shape ofYour Life (Hardcover)
I met the author at a book signing and purchased a signed copy of this book. I went home and began to read it. As a mother of three rowdy kids I do not have a lot of free time on my hands. However, I made time to make my way down my "journey of self-dscovery" as Sean would call it. For too long I had been a mom and a wife. I have begun the journey to reclaiming MY personal goals and am looking forward to celebrating the small steps on the way. It has been a long time since I went to the gym so I have been trying out the Trekker workout for weeks 1&2. WOW!! They were challenging, I will not lie, but how exilirating I felt after. Oh and 30 minutes I devoted to the workout and completed it!! I couldn't believe what a great workout I had in just 30 minutes. This is a program I can fit into my hectic life. I recommend this book to anyone wanting to make a difference in their daily routine and have great workouts. I look forward to continuing the journey and "Conquering my Inner Everest". Hope to hear from those others who have started out.

1.0 out of 5 stars dangerous and poorly written, January 20, 2008
By 
ronnie weiner (basking ridge, nj USA) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
i purchased this book because it sounded great according to the reviewers. however, it is so poorly written that one might actually get injured. i work with a personal trainer and i know something about exercise and how important proper form is. this book does a poor job of describing the exercises- and don't get fooled into buying the video- it's horrible too. save your money.

5.0 out of 5 stars Finally!, July 15, 2007
This review is from: Hyper Fitness: 12 Weeks to Conquering Your Inner Everest and Getting Into the Best Shape ofYour Life (Hardcover)
Sean's book captures both the goal-oriented approach to realizing your fitness aspirations and creative mechanisms to help you achieve them. As a long-time runner and adventure racer, I found the exercises in Sean's book to be the best at keeping me motivated and challenging in many new ways. When combined with Sean's personal, amazing fitness explorations, and the nutritional aspects he includes, this book becomes a must read for those looking to take fitness to the next level.
