Book claims
insights into
getting fit,
achieving dreams
By George Rowand
Rappahannock News Staff Writer
The title is “Hyperfitness,” and the cover shows a leaping Sean Burch, the author of the book, but there is more to the story than just some good ideas on being fit.
“It’s about embracing life and your goals, and living life to the fullest,” Burch said. “There is a nutritional, a physical and a mental aspect to my program, but I wrote this for everyone. I want everyone to embrace their fives.”
The Warrenton resident said that he had an epiphany a few years back when he was talking with his dying grandfather.
“He had been all around the world, and he had done a lot of things,” Burch remembered, “and yet, as he was dying, he said, “You have to go out there and achieve your dreams and goals. I had so many dreams and goals that I never achieved, and I don’t want that to happen to you.’ And I thought that he had lived a full life. And at that point, I had this dream to climb Mt. Everest. I was not a mountain climber at the time. And in four years, I did it.”
Hyperfit
Burch said that he climbed Mt. Eve/est without anyone else except a Sherpa to help him carry his gear.
“No one guided me,” he said. “I didn’t want to be with a group. I wanted to be left alone. I loved that feeling that here’s a challenge, here’s a goal, can you do it?”
It was a peak experience, so to SDeak. Burch said.
