Training for Everest Challenge
The physical exercises in this challenge simulate the training of Everest 2000 Expedition Leader Byron Smith. They have been developed, in consultation with Les Gramantik, Byron Smith's personal trainer and Director for Athletics at the National Sport
Council in Calgary.
The level of difficulty is based not on concepts, but on the goals the individual student sets for himself/herself. Teachers should use the exercises and activities at their own discretion.
The activities are grouped by grade level, use the links below to find the activity instructions for your appropriate division.
