3
00:00:45,840 --> 00:00:48,840
One of the objectives should
be to show

4
00:00:48,840 --> 00:00:51,840
that someone of my age, 82,

5
00:00:52,160 --> 00:00:55,040
could do something like this

6
00:00:55,040 --> 00:00:56,280
At all ages.

7
00:00:56,280 --> 00:01:01,160
we know that having a purpose,
a reason to get up, a dream,

8
00:01:01,160 --> 00:01:05,640
something you're trying to achieve,
that makes people both happier

9
00:01:05,880 --> 00:01:09,680
and healthier
at every single decade of life.

10
00:01:10,640 --> 00:01:12,920
When you're out of breath
and you can't talk anymore,

11
00:01:12,920 --> 00:01:17,280
maybe it's not curtains, but it means
you're not ready to go any further.

12
00:01:17,440 --> 00:01:21,880
How many bends done?
There’s 20 bends. Still left? Yes.

13
00:01:22,160 --> 00:01:24,840
You've only done one.
You can't do something like this.

14
00:01:24,840 --> 00:01:29,400
If you don't have a team of people
with you. Mountains everywhere

15
00:01:29,440 --> 00:01:32,400
just keeps you distracted
and moving forward.

16
00:01:32,400 --> 00:01:33,360
It's lovely.

17
00:01:33,360 --> 00:01:35,080
What a place to ride a bicycle.

18
00:01:35,080 --> 00:01:36,280
And I love studying

19
00:01:36,280 --> 00:01:40,760
how the body adapts
to exercise and altitude and aging.

20
00:01:41,880 --> 00:01:43,040
I'm a cardiologist,

21
00:01:43,040 --> 00:01:46,200
and I really enjoy
helping people get stronger.

22
00:01:46,200 --> 00:01:47,040
Get healthy.

23
00:01:47,040 --> 00:01:49,360
We don't need to sit on the couch
when we're in our 80s.

24
00:01:49,360 --> 00:01:50,200
We can get out there

25
00:01:50,200 --> 00:01:53,200
and we can do extraordinary things
to make put minds to it.

26
00:01:53,600 --> 00:01:56,400
And I love doing active things
in nature with others.

27
00:01:56,400 --> 00:02:00,080
I also really love
to see other people come alive.

28
00:02:00,080 --> 00:02:03,080
So in my professional life,
when I work with people

29
00:02:03,240 --> 00:02:06,240
helping them overcome health
or performance challenges, learning

30
00:02:06,240 --> 00:02:09,320
how to move, to see them

31
00:02:09,320 --> 00:02:12,320
evolve makes me feel alive too.

32
00:02:13,200 --> 00:02:14,200
Got to keep it going now.

33
00:02:14,200 --> 00:02:16,360
Lovely position on your bike.

34
00:02:16,360 --> 00:02:17,280
There is a struggle.

35
00:02:17,280 --> 00:02:19,800
There is a way to do it
that is an inspiration

36
00:02:19,800 --> 00:02:23,000
to give to people and make them see
what is possible.

37
00:02:23,680 --> 00:02:25,640
Fight for life or fit for life.

38
00:02:25,640 --> 00:02:26,880
It is up to you to decide.

39
00:02:31,320 --> 00:02:32,840
For some people

40
00:02:32,840 --> 00:02:37,240
as they got older,
they stop having ambitions or dreams

41
00:02:37,760 --> 00:02:41,320
and that is something that will make
you old, quote unquote.

42
00:02:41,360 --> 00:02:44,640
But by that
I don't mean really old, right?

43
00:02:44,720 --> 00:02:47,760
The word old simply means
a person who has lived longer.

44
00:02:47,880 --> 00:02:51,760
We tend to use it as a bad thing,
as a person who doesn't do much

45
00:02:51,760 --> 00:02:53,400
or isn't very happy.

46
00:02:53,400 --> 00:02:54,360
We desperately

47
00:02:54,360 --> 00:02:58,200
want our elderhood to be long,
meaningful, and satisfying.

48
00:02:58,560 --> 00:03:02,280
Yet most of us refuse to approach it
with the same shameless ambition

49
00:03:02,280 --> 00:03:03,840
we reflexively accord.

50
00:03:03,840 --> 00:03:06,120
Childhood and adulthood.

51
00:03:06,120 --> 00:03:09,120
I sort of think
that's the crux of the idea here,

52
00:03:09,800 --> 00:03:13,440
that we dread old age,
but we also don't try.

53
00:03:13,440 --> 00:03:16,440
We essentially abdicate
and then are upset

54
00:03:16,440 --> 00:03:19,720
when it's not good
and and that's sad news.

55
00:03:19,720 --> 00:03:23,800
But it's also great news
because we can change that.

56
00:03:24,240 --> 00:03:26,880
Elder hood is full of opportunity.

57
00:03:26,880 --> 00:03:28,680
What's it like to ride in the Alps?

58
00:03:28,680 --> 00:03:31,080
Grim determination to reach the top.

59
00:03:31,080 --> 00:03:32,880
It's a personal battle.

60
00:03:32,880 --> 00:03:34,000
You've got to believe in yourself.

61
00:03:35,280 --> 00:03:38,280
So too, the opening day, of which
there are seven.

62
00:03:38,280 --> 00:03:42,120
The weather is not too good,
but the mountains are now all around

63
00:03:42,120 --> 00:03:43,520
our intrepid riders.

64
00:03:43,520 --> 00:03:46,680
This was going to be a great
hors d’oeuvres to the whole week.

65
00:03:47,880 --> 00:03:49,320
I just like sports.

66
00:03:49,320 --> 00:03:52,320
I was never a champion
in any of these sports.

67
00:03:52,400 --> 00:03:54,600
I was a champion of trying
everything.

68
00:03:54,600 --> 00:03:58,320
I did kind of decide
to have an active life.

69
00:03:59,480 --> 00:04:02,120
I was riding a bicycle from the age

70
00:04:02,120 --> 00:04:05,520
12.5 years old to today,
82 years old.

71
00:04:05,960 --> 00:04:08,960
There's something magic
about being on a bike.

72
00:04:09,920 --> 00:04:12,720
Or I had ridden a few of the passes

73
00:04:12,720 --> 00:04:15,720
individually, but I had never done
something like this.

74
00:04:17,040 --> 00:04:19,080
How much biking I've done?

75
00:04:19,080 --> 00:04:20,360
I think maximum biking

76
00:04:20,360 --> 00:04:22,200
I've done is 30km.

77
00:04:22,200 --> 00:04:24,000
I would have
done it a couple of times,

78
00:04:25,080 --> 00:04:25,960
and that's about it.

79
00:04:25,960 --> 00:04:27,520
No hills, no mountains.

80
00:04:27,520 --> 00:04:31,720
Yeah, good to go.
So I was never a sportsperson.

81
00:04:31,920 --> 00:04:34,440
But then soon I discovered running.

82
00:04:34,440 --> 00:04:37,440
I saw these runners on the road
and you know

83
00:04:37,680 --> 00:04:40,400
I thought why don't I try that?

84
00:04:40,400 --> 00:04:43,560
And that's
how my journey in running started.

85
00:04:44,680 --> 00:04:47,080
And I'm close to 14 marathons now.

86
00:04:47,080 --> 00:04:50,280
One ultramarathon,
which is a 90km in South Africa.

87
00:04:52,880 --> 00:04:55,880
And here I am cycling.

88
00:04:56,120 --> 00:04:57,520
I'm trying my level best.

89
00:04:57,520 --> 00:05:01,600
It's hard, but,
Yeah, it's a mind game.

90
00:05:01,920 --> 00:05:04,120
It's a mind game.

91
00:05:04,120 --> 00:05:07,120
This whole thing is ten miles.

92
00:05:07,960 --> 00:05:09,160
How much do you want to know?

93
00:05:09,160 --> 00:05:11,080
I can tell you
exactly how long the climb is.

94
00:05:11,080 --> 00:05:12,480
I have it on my.

95
00:05:12,480 --> 00:05:15,480
Don't tell me.

96
00:05:20,840 --> 00:05:23,520
And what was your motivation
to begin riding?

97
00:05:23,520 --> 00:05:25,240
Health. Health?

98
00:05:25,240 --> 00:05:26,880
Absolutely. Health.

99
00:05:26,880 --> 00:05:29,080
Mumbai. To the Alps. Yeah.

100
00:05:29,080 --> 00:05:30,480
Baptism of fire.

101
00:05:40,440 --> 00:05:40,960
I used to

102
00:05:40,960 --> 00:05:45,000
see people falling unwell and
being a runner, it was a motivation

103
00:05:45,000 --> 00:05:49,040
for me to spread things
like self-care, preventive care.

104
00:05:49,200 --> 00:05:52,200
But I started my journey
in health care.

105
00:05:53,000 --> 00:05:55,200
I want to be a champion for healthy
living.

106
00:05:55,200 --> 00:05:57,480
And societal well-being

107
00:05:57,480 --> 00:06:01,480
seeing how living healthy helps
in all areas of your life.

108
00:06:01,720 --> 00:06:04,720
Keep going, keep going.

109
00:06:05,080 --> 00:06:05,920
No! Hang on.

110
00:06:05,920 --> 00:06:07,320
Come on. I'll go up with you.

111
00:06:07,320 --> 00:06:08,640
You can do it.

112
00:06:08,640 --> 00:06:10,960
It's just going to be tough.

113
00:06:10,960 --> 00:06:13,960
But just keep it a little slow here
so Tania can catch up.

114
00:06:14,160 --> 00:06:17,160
Better than if you wear somebody out
the first day.

115
00:06:17,320 --> 00:06:20,320
It doesn't work.

116
00:06:25,000 --> 00:06:28,000
Yodeliing

117
00:06:33,240 --> 00:06:36,240
I'm occasionally a doctor.

118
00:06:36,960 --> 00:06:38,280
Not qualified.

119
00:06:38,280 --> 00:06:41,240
A cat-herder and a bit of a nanny.

120
00:06:44,320 --> 00:06:45,840
For this sort of tour, it's

121
00:06:45,840 --> 00:06:48,440
it's exciting because there's
all sorts going on, and you've got.

122
00:06:48,440 --> 00:06:51,600
people have lots of a wide
range of abilities.

123
00:06:53,640 --> 00:06:54,640
But it's always exciting.

124
00:06:54,640 --> 00:06:55,640
And every trip is different.

125
00:06:55,640 --> 00:06:57,200
And, you know,

126
00:06:57,200 --> 00:07:00,200
if you're not flexible in this game,
you're going to go mad.

127
00:07:01,560 --> 00:07:03,080
Come-on Jack.

128
00:07:03,080 --> 00:07:04,560
You can do this.

129
00:07:04,560 --> 00:07:07,560
I think you're on your easiest gear
right now.

130
00:07:08,200 --> 00:07:10,920
Jack, do you want to eat something?

131
00:07:10,920 --> 00:07:13,040
Right, Jiggs keep going.

132
00:07:13,040 --> 00:07:14,040
It's crazy.

133
00:07:14,040 --> 00:07:16,440
This is tough,

134
00:07:16,440 --> 00:07:18,440
it's going to go tougher

135
00:07:18,440 --> 00:07:19,960
and look at Jack.

136
00:07:19,960 --> 00:07:21,280
He's doing it so easily.

137
00:07:21,280 --> 00:07:24,280
Right?

138
00:07:32,760 --> 00:07:35,400
The only way is

139
00:07:35,400 --> 00:07:38,400
I’m going to stand. Massive amount
of effort on this corner.

140
00:07:39,840 --> 00:07:41,080
Alright Jiggs?

141
00:07:41,080 --> 00:07:42,560
You got it.

142
00:07:42,560 --> 00:07:45,560
Climb! Climb! Climb!

143
00:07:46,200 --> 00:07:49,200
Jigg's ! Six kilometers.

144
00:07:49,440 --> 00:07:51,360
Oh, fish.

145
00:07:51,360 --> 00:07:53,280
I don't think Jiggs is
just going to make it up.

146
00:07:53,280 --> 00:07:55,600
I think he's had enough already,
I think.

147
00:07:55,600 --> 00:07:58,560
I think we're looking
at an electric bike.

148
00:08:05,520 --> 00:08:07,280
When I see all these guys cycling

149
00:08:07,280 --> 00:08:10,280
so smoothly, I think they'll practice
that for sure.

150
00:08:10,280 --> 00:08:11,480
For sure.

151
00:08:11,480 --> 00:08:12,360
There's the village. And.

152
00:08:12,360 --> 00:08:16,080
Well, that was the order of a week
of climbing the big mountains

153
00:08:16,080 --> 00:08:17,320
coming soon.

154
00:08:17,320 --> 00:08:22,200
I was not at all prepared to what
I was, looking to do.

155
00:08:22,920 --> 00:08:24,400
Maybe I never did my study.

156
00:08:24,400 --> 00:08:26,600
I never saw what was coming.

157
00:08:26,600 --> 00:08:30,440
And I like the surprise element
whenever I'm doing something.

158
00:08:30,840 --> 00:08:33,840
But, this one was very, very tough.

159
00:08:33,840 --> 00:08:36,960
And and when we started doing it,

160
00:08:37,560 --> 00:08:41,200
the rhythm was not there,
because I'm not used to many things.

161
00:08:41,240 --> 00:08:44,400
There are many, factors
which need to be considered

162
00:08:44,400 --> 00:08:47,400
when you're riding, you know,
the Alps.

163
00:08:47,640 --> 00:08:50,640
I'll just finish off around this
corner.

164
00:08:51,760 --> 00:08:52,880
Over the finish line.

165
00:08:57,760 --> 00:08:58,400
How was that?

166
00:08:58,400 --> 00:08:59,200
It's cute.

167
00:08:59,200 --> 00:09:00,640
Yeah. Isn't it cute?

168
00:09:00,640 --> 00:09:03,040
Yeah.

169
00:09:03,040 --> 00:09:04,320
Can you smell?

170
00:09:04,320 --> 00:09:06,360
Cute village. The real thing.
What is this smell?

171
00:09:06,360 --> 00:09:09,000
It's called the goat’s village.
Oh. There are goats.

172
00:09:09,000 --> 00:09:11,800
all over this mountainside.

173
00:09:11,800 --> 00:09:13,400
Jack.

174
00:09:13,400 --> 00:09:15,560
Not too bad. Not bad. Good warm up.

175
00:09:15,560 --> 00:09:16,040
Good warm up.

176
00:09:16,040 --> 00:09:19,040
You get your heart
rate over 100, maybe.

177
00:09:19,520 --> 00:09:20,640
Oh, yes.

178
00:09:20,640 --> 00:09:22,240
I'd like to go explore up there.

179
00:09:24,160 --> 00:09:27,040
You know, I've rarely seen anything
so green.

180
00:09:27,040 --> 00:09:28,600
So many pine trees.

181
00:09:28,600 --> 00:09:30,080
A lake in the middle of it.

182
00:09:30,080 --> 00:09:32,160
I mean, Jigg's is at sea level.

183
00:09:32,160 --> 00:09:33,040
It's flat.

184
00:09:33,040 --> 00:09:36,560
It's like 40 degrees.
Lots of humidity.

185
00:09:36,600 --> 00:09:38,240
This is the first time
he's been to the Alps.

186
00:09:38,240 --> 00:09:41,240
And I think it's really,
really hitting him.

187
00:09:41,240 --> 00:09:43,600
He had no idea what he was in for.

188
00:09:43,600 --> 00:09:45,600
I've done these hard
trainings. Right.

189
00:09:45,600 --> 00:09:48,480
And, you know, there are times when
I'm not trained for the marathon.

190
00:09:48,480 --> 00:09:50,520
I've gone and run the marathon.

191
00:09:50,520 --> 00:09:54,800
So I knew that if if I get mad at
them, I'll be able to achieve a lot.

192
00:09:55,080 --> 00:09:57,000
Than what
you know, I thought in day one.

193
00:10:00,520 --> 00:10:03,520
The Joux Plane
by many riders, it's the toughest.

194
00:10:03,600 --> 00:10:06,600
The Col de la Columbiere
is the cruelest.

195
00:10:06,960 --> 00:10:08,400
How are you feeling?

196
00:10:08,400 --> 00:10:11,080
You want to know how far it is? It's.

197
00:10:11,080 --> 00:10:13,920
Oh! It’ll be a two hour walk

198
00:10:13,920 --> 00:10:15,920
if you walk it

199
00:10:15,920 --> 00:10:18,560
at minimum, probably three.

200
00:10:18,560 --> 00:10:19,480
No, I'm not going to walk.

201
00:10:19,480 --> 00:10:21,600
No.

202
00:10:22,480 --> 00:10:25,320
This is a good place to
try again Jiggs.

203
00:10:25,640 --> 00:10:26,040
okay.

204
00:10:26,040 --> 00:10:29,040
We've established
Jiggs must be completely crazy.

205
00:10:29,160 --> 00:10:32,200
I think running
is far superior than cycling.

206
00:10:34,200 --> 00:10:35,960
I can run miles and miles.

207
00:10:35,960 --> 00:10:37,400
But to cycle up the hill

208
00:10:37,400 --> 00:10:39,040
was a tough one.

209
00:10:42,680 --> 00:10:45,440
You Okay? Okay. Go.

210
00:10:45,440 --> 00:10:46,960
Oh, yeah.

211
00:10:46,960 --> 00:10:49,520
We'll make a plan.
But we'll get there.

212
00:10:49,520 --> 00:10:52,520
I need to be stronger.

213
00:10:53,080 --> 00:10:55,200
So, yeah,
running and cycling are different.

214
00:10:55,200 --> 00:10:57,000
They have different fatigue points.

215
00:10:57,000 --> 00:10:59,440
Running sort of slow and steady.

216
00:10:59,440 --> 00:11:01,800
And then with cycling,
you have to adapt to the terrain.

217
00:11:01,800 --> 00:11:04,920
So you have these steep parts,
you have this big force output

218
00:11:04,920 --> 00:11:08,760
and then you redline on the steeps
and then a little flat like this

219
00:11:09,480 --> 00:11:11,240
and you recover and
you’re ready to go?

220
00:11:11,240 --> 00:11:14,600
This is the first time
that I've really tried to tackle

221
00:11:14,600 --> 00:11:15,880
something like this.

222
00:11:15,880 --> 00:11:17,600
Back to back days.

223
00:11:17,600 --> 00:11:19,680
Big cols and so.

224
00:11:19,680 --> 00:11:22,680
So we'll see how I do on day 5 or 6.

225
00:11:23,040 --> 00:11:25,160
Were you a runner
before you were a cyclist or what?

226
00:11:25,160 --> 00:11:26,720
I'm more of a trail runner.

227
00:11:26,720 --> 00:11:29,720
I just loved being in the mountains
and, you know, cross-country skiing.

228
00:11:30,080 --> 00:11:32,440
I'm sort of a jack of all trades,
just like Jack.

229
00:11:32,440 --> 00:11:36,000
I've never been superb at anything,
but I've done

230
00:11:36,000 --> 00:11:37,720
a lot of different sports.

231
00:11:38,680 --> 00:11:40,520
I think adaptability is the key,
isn't it?

232
00:11:40,520 --> 00:11:44,320
You do lots of different sports
and you transition a lot more easily.

233
00:11:44,840 --> 00:11:48,760
So just moving the muscles,
any muscles released mykines

234
00:11:48,840 --> 00:11:50,320
that you act as pharmacies.

235
00:11:50,320 --> 00:11:51,840
And it can be any type of exercise.

236
00:11:51,840 --> 00:11:54,520
These myokines
send these signals that feed

237
00:11:54,520 --> 00:11:57,520
not only back to the muscles
but throughout the whole system.

238
00:11:57,640 --> 00:11:59,760
And increase brain function.

239
00:11:59,760 --> 00:12:02,760
And that's why we feel better
and we think more clearly, and we

240
00:12:02,880 --> 00:12:05,240
maintain our neurons in our brain
when we exercise.

241
00:12:05,240 --> 00:12:08,240
It's these myokines
that are going to the brain.

242
00:12:09,400 --> 00:12:11,480
If you get people
a little bit stronger,

243
00:12:11,480 --> 00:12:14,280
a little bit
more confident in their ability

244
00:12:14,280 --> 00:12:17,480
can then lead to more
spontaneous physical activity

245
00:12:17,520 --> 00:12:19,800
that then increases
cardiovascular fitness.

246
00:12:19,800 --> 00:12:22,840
There is no threshold of benefit
for physical activity.

247
00:12:23,200 --> 00:12:25,880
Anything you can do
is better than not doing

248
00:12:25,880 --> 00:12:27,800
anything and building on that.

249
00:12:27,800 --> 00:12:28,760
And again,

250
00:12:28,760 --> 00:12:31,040
once you start,
there can be this spiraling up

251
00:12:31,040 --> 00:12:34,000
with the increased confidence
and ability to move.

252
00:12:34,000 --> 00:12:37,000
Animals on the road.
They are licking the salt off my legs

253
00:12:37,200 --> 00:12:40,200
They are adorabale.
Hi, sweetie.

254
00:12:40,280 --> 00:12:41,200
Hello. Okay,

255
00:12:41,200 --> 00:12:42,880
we'll move away.

256
00:12:42,880 --> 00:12:45,080
I love goats.

257
00:12:47,000 --> 00:12:49,240
I love fit for life

258
00:12:49,240 --> 00:12:53,360
because the second word life
acknowledges life-span.

259
00:12:53,360 --> 00:12:58,440
Your fitness level, what you can
and can't do varies a lot

260
00:12:58,440 --> 00:13:02,680
if you're 5 or 25 or 55 or 95,

261
00:13:03,160 --> 00:13:07,200
but it means you can be fit across
that whole life-span,

262
00:13:07,560 --> 00:13:11,160
even if what it looks like
will be different at

263
00:13:11,160 --> 00:13:12,800
different ages in your life.

264
00:13:20,160 --> 00:13:23,120
When I have those
patients that are older than me,

265
00:13:23,120 --> 00:13:24,560
that are further on in their life,

266
00:13:24,560 --> 00:13:26,320
that are closer to the end
than the beginning,

267
00:13:26,320 --> 00:13:28,320
you know, they can be 80 year olds

268
00:13:28,320 --> 00:13:30,760
and they just start talking to me
about what

269
00:13:30,760 --> 00:13:32,440
they're still capable of doing.

270
00:13:32,440 --> 00:13:35,360
You become interested.
Me being 63 years old,

271
00:13:35,360 --> 00:13:38,360
I say, you know, I want to be
like that person right there

272
00:13:38,520 --> 00:13:41,880
when I'm 80 years old
and invariably

273
00:13:42,240 --> 00:13:45,080
they have invested

274
00:13:45,080 --> 00:13:48,480
over decades in their body.

275
00:13:48,480 --> 00:13:51,400
And so they're inspiring.

276
00:13:51,400 --> 00:13:54,440
You got the fancy labs around here to
make measurements, but that's okay.

277
00:13:54,440 --> 00:13:56,800
Sometimes you need that
to trigger them off to say,

278
00:13:56,800 --> 00:13:58,080
this is where you are.

279
00:13:58,080 --> 00:13:59,160
You're right here.

280
00:13:59,160 --> 00:14:01,440
This is sophisticated strength test

281
00:14:02,480 --> 00:14:04,360
Released from the machine.

282
00:14:04,360 --> 00:14:07,440
But again it's very simple you know
can you walk up

283
00:14:08,560 --> 00:14:12,400
two flights of stairs without having
to stop after the first flight.

284
00:14:13,520 --> 00:14:16,800
And sometimes I actually get
my patients in my office.

285
00:14:17,080 --> 00:14:19,120
I say, can
you show me how to do a push-up?

286
00:14:25,120 --> 00:14:27,080
Okay, let's get another number.

287
00:14:27,080 --> 00:14:28,280
Eight.

288
00:14:28,280 --> 00:14:29,320
Eight.

289
00:14:29,320 --> 00:14:32,240
Hey, you're going up again
and get a little harder.

290
00:14:32,240 --> 00:14:33,080
Keep pushing. Jack.

291
00:14:33,080 --> 00:14:35,080
You're good things. Looking good.

292
00:14:35,080 --> 00:14:36,040
Keep pushing.

293
00:14:36,040 --> 00:14:37,560
Pushing, Jack. Keep pushing.

294
00:14:37,560 --> 00:14:40,280
Red zone nine. Okay. Keep going.

295
00:14:40,280 --> 00:14:42,240
This is where it counts.

296
00:14:42,240 --> 00:14:43,000
You got it.

297
00:14:43,000 --> 00:14:44,880
We’re going up another stage.

298
00:14:44,880 --> 00:14:45,720
Okay. You're going up.

299
00:14:45,720 --> 00:14:48,720
Okay. Go go go go go. Great.

300
00:14:48,960 --> 00:14:49,800
Okay.

301
00:14:49,800 --> 00:14:51,960
And, All right.

302
00:14:51,960 --> 00:14:54,720
Bravo!
Fantastic effort there.

303
00:14:54,720 --> 00:14:58,200
You're actually better.
So normally

304
00:14:58,200 --> 00:15:01,680
someone your age would be declining 1
to 2% per year at least.

305
00:15:01,840 --> 00:15:04,640
And you went up.
So that's really exceptional.

306
00:15:04,640 --> 00:15:07,400
The training...
I do something every day.

307
00:15:07,400 --> 00:15:08,760
We tested you,

308
00:15:08,760 --> 00:15:11,880
on on your maximal strength
of your quads and your hamstrings.

309
00:15:12,360 --> 00:15:16,560
And there again, you've maintained
an exceptional strength.

310
00:15:17,000 --> 00:15:17,240
You know,

311
00:15:17,240 --> 00:15:20,480
if you've got aerobic capacity,
you don't need very much to walk

312
00:15:20,480 --> 00:15:23,760
from A to B, because you can walk
from A to B in five minutes.

313
00:15:24,040 --> 00:15:26,760
And you can also walk from A
to B in 20 minutes.

314
00:15:26,760 --> 00:15:28,120
You'll get there.

315
00:15:28,120 --> 00:15:30,480
But walking up stairs

316
00:15:30,480 --> 00:15:33,480
picking up groceries,
you need strength.

317
00:15:33,640 --> 00:15:36,720
I think it's so hard to maintain
your muscle mass as you age,

318
00:15:36,960 --> 00:15:38,680
and so really focusing on that

319
00:15:38,680 --> 00:15:40,480
then allows you
to do these other activities.

320
00:15:40,480 --> 00:15:42,360
We've
only given the good stuff, right.

321
00:15:42,360 --> 00:15:45,080
You got to talk about,
you know, your balance exercise.

322
00:15:45,080 --> 00:15:46,760
We're a little bit
under under average.

323
00:15:46,760 --> 00:15:50,640
Absolutely, it was really lousy.

324
00:15:51,000 --> 00:15:53,280
So that's
got to be one of your objectives.

325
00:15:53,280 --> 00:15:55,560
And so it's also important for people
to remember that

326
00:15:55,560 --> 00:15:58,160
they can start at any age
and get benefit at any age.

327
00:15:58,160 --> 00:16:00,160
And so you
can change that trajectory.

328
00:16:07,360 --> 00:16:07,720
Yeah,

329
00:16:07,720 --> 00:16:10,720
I would say what we're doing
is a little extreme.

330
00:16:10,800 --> 00:16:11,960
Yeah.

331
00:16:11,960 --> 00:16:15,000
I mean this is not a normal feat.

332
00:16:16,160 --> 00:16:19,160
It's more than most
people need to do.

333
00:16:20,160 --> 00:16:23,160
So we're going for the ultimate test
by doing seven days in a row.

334
00:16:24,000 --> 00:16:26,040
Yet there are ways to be moderate.

335
00:16:26,040 --> 00:16:31,040
For example, say if we did
the riding days every other day.

336
00:16:32,640 --> 00:16:34,200
Perfect is that an option.

337
00:16:34,200 --> 00:16:36,880
Oh yes. Let's do that.

338
00:16:36,880 --> 00:16:39,680
Or one col a day rather than two
cols a day.

339
00:16:40,280 --> 00:16:42,240
Allez, allez, allez!

340
00:16:42,760 --> 00:16:45,120
Nobody lives on the Columbiere.

341
00:16:45,120 --> 00:16:47,760
It's famous for its loneliness.

342
00:16:47,760 --> 00:16:49,840
It's a beautiful climb.

343
00:16:49,840 --> 00:16:52,200
Yeah, I'm sticking on my...
Stick to your pace.

344
00:16:52,200 --> 00:16:54,720
No, no. My pace. Oh, no. No,
this is what I mean.

345
00:16:54,720 --> 00:16:57,720
Just keep going. Yeah. Keep going.

346
00:16:57,960 --> 00:16:59,240
You've got a great pace, Jack.

347
00:17:00,680 --> 00:17:03,680
I would really
like to pull over and sit down.

348
00:17:03,920 --> 00:17:04,840
Yeah.

349
00:17:04,840 --> 00:17:07,720
You know, I just hate to give up.

350
00:17:07,720 --> 00:17:09,680
You've just been told
you're ultra fit for

351
00:17:09,680 --> 00:17:11,520
a man of 82.

352
00:17:11,520 --> 00:17:12,840
Now you've got to prove it.

353
00:17:12,840 --> 00:17:14,680
It's hurting Jack.

354
00:17:14,680 --> 00:17:17,040
It really does look steep up there.

355
00:17:17,040 --> 00:17:18,800
Yeah I'm starting to feel it.

356
00:17:18,800 --> 00:17:21,640
As long as we're talking,
we're going at a speed,

357
00:17:21,640 --> 00:17:24,640
which I think we both, and keep going
pretty much to the top.

358
00:17:28,040 --> 00:17:32,360
I think that part of the resistance
to people getting out and doing

359
00:17:32,360 --> 00:17:35,920
something is the fear of failure,
and that shouldn't be an obstacle.

360
00:17:35,920 --> 00:17:37,680
And people find

361
00:17:37,680 --> 00:17:41,280
that they are actually capable
of a lot more than what they think,

362
00:17:41,560 --> 00:17:46,280
and that oftentimes just giving it
a try will bring a whole new thing,

363
00:17:46,320 --> 00:17:49,240
a whole new source of joy
into their life,

364
00:17:49,240 --> 00:17:51,000
and certainly worth giving a try.

365
00:17:51,000 --> 00:17:53,880
And if that doesn't work for you,
you try something else.

366
00:17:53,880 --> 00:17:54,840
I was playing squash.

367
00:17:54,840 --> 00:17:55,440
I was playing

368
00:17:55,440 --> 00:17:59,760
tennis, and I was riding my bicycle
to as many places as possible. So,

369
00:18:00,200 --> 00:18:04,120
I think it was because I felt better,
when I was doing exercise.

370
00:18:05,160 --> 00:18:07,760
Thanks for all the company.

371
00:18:07,760 --> 00:18:10,760
Accompanying me.
Way to go Jack!

372
00:18:12,120 --> 00:18:14,040
That was a long haul.

373
00:18:14,040 --> 00:18:15,760
Why that's so steep.

374
00:18:15,760 --> 00:18:17,960
Yeah. Now, the descent will be fun.

375
00:18:17,960 --> 00:18:20,720
If we can stay warm,
it'll be fabulous.

376
00:18:20,720 --> 00:18:23,720
It's hard to believe it's June but...
Back in the car.

377
00:18:24,080 --> 00:18:26,520
It's too fast for me.

378
00:18:26,520 --> 00:18:29,120
I'm going to take it easy.
Okay? Let's go.

379
00:18:29,120 --> 00:18:31,160
Go, ladies. Go.

380
00:18:31,160 --> 00:18:33,040
I'll be ready for tomorrow. Right?

381
00:18:33,040 --> 00:18:36,040
It’s very hard.

382
00:18:37,200 --> 00:18:38,040
That's a big climb,

383
00:18:38,040 --> 00:18:39,840
the Col de la Columbiere.

384
00:18:39,840 --> 00:18:42,840
It's a big challenge
in the Tour de France.

385
00:18:45,680 --> 00:18:47,640
Now, let's have a look
at the terrible twins.

386
00:18:47,640 --> 00:18:50,200
Because on day three,
we're going up the Col des Aravis.

387
00:18:50,200 --> 00:18:50,960
Out of which

388
00:18:50,960 --> 00:18:55,160
the first introduced to the tour de
France riders back in 1911,

389
00:18:55,440 --> 00:18:58,880
and Les Saisies. It's going
to be a tough one today.

390
00:18:59,960 --> 00:19:00,920
We're doing this together.

391
00:19:00,920 --> 00:19:03,920
Yeah, yeah, I can go a little slower.

392
00:19:04,160 --> 00:19:06,960
You want to go a little slower
and just stay at that pace.

393
00:19:06,960 --> 00:19:09,600
Yeah. This pace is good. Don't.

394
00:19:09,600 --> 00:19:10,840
Yeah. It's perfect.

395
00:19:10,840 --> 00:19:13,840
Don't be tempted to go any faster.

396
00:19:14,160 --> 00:19:17,160
And as you slow your breathing down,

397
00:19:17,280 --> 00:19:19,080
it'll settle your heart rate down.

398
00:19:19,080 --> 00:19:21,600
And you won't waste any energy.

399
00:19:21,600 --> 00:19:24,600
And then keep your vision forward
and your chest open

400
00:19:25,280 --> 00:19:27,080
to maximize your lung expansion.

401
00:19:27,080 --> 00:19:29,880
Just keep the rhythm.

402
00:19:29,880 --> 00:19:31,200
Perfect. Good.

403
00:19:31,200 --> 00:19:32,840
I can talk still. Good.

404
00:19:32,840 --> 00:19:35,840
That's the most important thing.

405
00:19:36,240 --> 00:19:37,560
I've never done this before.

406
00:19:37,560 --> 00:19:41,560
I've never conquered mountains
with the bicycle.

407
00:19:42,960 --> 00:19:44,480
So totally new for me.

408
00:19:44,480 --> 00:19:47,480
Best way to celebrate my 50th.

409
00:19:47,920 --> 00:19:51,880
Every single sort of person
can have dreams and ambitions.

410
00:19:52,520 --> 00:19:54,920
So really, having a purpose
is the purpose

411
00:19:54,920 --> 00:19:56,600
good to be
the same as when you were 20?

412
00:19:56,600 --> 00:19:59,720
No, but it's not the same
when you're 50 is when you're 20.

413
00:19:59,760 --> 00:20:00,200
What is it

414
00:20:00,200 --> 00:20:03,440
you want to achieve in the coming
years or decades of your life?

415
00:20:03,440 --> 00:20:07,800
Because the fact is, most of us
will have years and decades.

416
00:20:08,800 --> 00:20:11,120
We don't
want to just coast through them.

417
00:20:11,120 --> 00:20:12,680
We want to make the most of them,

418
00:20:12,680 --> 00:20:15,680
and they offer different
and exciting opportunities

419
00:20:15,880 --> 00:20:18,720
if you're willing to look for them.

420
00:20:18,720 --> 00:20:20,880
Stopping. Ah, they must be

421
00:20:20,880 --> 00:20:24,000
stopping, for the liqeur des Aravies,
a very potent

422
00:20:24,120 --> 00:20:27,720
liqueur made right here
amongst the alpine flowers.

423
00:20:28,080 --> 00:20:29,960
Doing great. He's doing great.

424
00:20:29,960 --> 00:20:31,520
Got a good pace.

425
00:20:31,520 --> 00:20:34,520
I'd like to see people
not take retirement

426
00:20:34,520 --> 00:20:37,320
and say, oh, now I'm going to rest,

427
00:20:37,320 --> 00:20:39,840
because rest is the thing
that will get

428
00:20:39,840 --> 00:20:42,840
you really quickly if you retire
and you don't do anything

429
00:20:43,160 --> 00:20:47,520
and you don't have an objective
in life or objectives in life,

430
00:20:47,680 --> 00:20:48,280
just remember,

431
00:20:48,280 --> 00:20:52,440
this is the only time in your life
when this will be your first col.

432
00:20:52,480 --> 00:20:53,520
Yeah.

433
00:20:53,520 --> 00:20:56,080
Thank you
so much for getting me here.

434
00:20:57,440 --> 00:20:58,560
Go on.

435
00:20:58,560 --> 00:21:00,240
Go to the top.

436
00:21:00,240 --> 00:21:03,160
Yes. Jiggs. Yes.

437
00:21:03,160 --> 00:21:04,520
Good man.

438
00:21:04,520 --> 00:21:07,680
Woo woo.
Well done. Jiggs.

439
00:21:08,040 --> 00:21:11,040
You see, Mumbai may be flat,
but you can climb.

440
00:21:11,200 --> 00:21:14,200
Oh yeah.

441
00:21:16,080 --> 00:21:18,720
I didn't think he would
get through day two.

442
00:21:19,080 --> 00:21:20,320
Awesome.

443
00:21:20,320 --> 00:21:21,320
Thank you so much.

444
00:21:21,320 --> 00:21:23,520
Well done! Super. Smashed it.

445
00:21:23,520 --> 00:21:24,080
Yeah.

446
00:21:24,080 --> 00:21:27,080
Look my friend.
Look who's come out to see who.

447
00:21:27,200 --> 00:21:27,600
Yeah.

448
00:21:27,600 --> 00:21:29,080
Mont Blanc.

449
00:21:29,080 --> 00:21:35,600
1486 meters - a gain of 630m
on the climb.

450
00:21:35,760 --> 00:21:38,440
Yeah. Thank you.

451
00:21:38,440 --> 00:21:40,600
Oh, good work.

452
00:21:40,600 --> 00:21:42,920
Nice and sweaty? Yeah.

453
00:21:42,920 --> 00:21:44,920
I didn’t want to stop!

454
00:21:44,920 --> 00:21:45,240
Okay.

455
00:21:45,240 --> 00:21:48,120
Turn around.

456
00:21:50,760 --> 00:21:52,320
Oh, isn't this beautiful?

457
00:21:52,320 --> 00:21:55,320
This is. This is amazing.

458
00:21:55,360 --> 00:21:58,080
And all of these peaks are climbable.

459
00:21:58,080 --> 00:21:59,000
All climbable.

460
00:21:59,000 --> 00:22:01,320
Yeah, yeah. Wow.

461
00:22:01,320 --> 00:22:02,640
The Everest.

462
00:22:02,640 --> 00:22:04,680
Let's go to the Everest.

463
00:22:04,680 --> 00:22:08,160
They've already caught
tour fever.

464
00:22:08,160 --> 00:22:10,880
And just use your back brake.
Don't use your front.

465
00:22:10,880 --> 00:22:12,640
So what you want to do
on these curves...

466
00:22:12,640 --> 00:22:13,280
follow me.

467
00:22:15,280 --> 00:22:15,640
You want to

468
00:22:15,640 --> 00:22:18,640
go on the outside to the in.

469
00:22:18,880 --> 00:22:22,400
So there are really three
major categories of activity

470
00:22:22,640 --> 00:22:25,760
the endurance activities,
the strength training activities

471
00:22:25,760 --> 00:22:29,320
which could be anything from going
to a gym and lifting weights,

472
00:22:29,320 --> 00:22:32,520
so pushing against resistance
and then the lifestyle activities.

473
00:22:32,520 --> 00:22:35,520
And in those lifestyle activities
you also get a lot of the balance

474
00:22:35,720 --> 00:22:36,960
and proprioception.

475
00:22:36,960 --> 00:22:41,160
So as we age, the component
that people are often missing

476
00:22:41,520 --> 00:22:44,520
is that resistance training.

477
00:22:44,520 --> 00:22:47,880
So muscle is one of the more
metabolically active tissues

478
00:22:47,880 --> 00:22:48,720
in our body.

479
00:22:48,720 --> 00:22:52,760
So having more muscle burns
more calories 24/7.

480
00:22:53,080 --> 00:22:54,440
So people often think, well,

481
00:22:54,440 --> 00:22:56,640
if I want to lose weight
I should go running.

482
00:22:56,640 --> 00:22:59,400
And true,
it burns calories during the run,

483
00:22:59,400 --> 00:23:03,520
but keeping that muscle mass
elevated is important for health.

484
00:23:03,520 --> 00:23:04,960
It's important
for a weight maintenance,

485
00:23:04,960 --> 00:23:06,200
important for our function.

486
00:23:06,200 --> 00:23:10,280
So that is one
that many people forget and don't

487
00:23:10,280 --> 00:23:12,160
include
as they're trying to stay healthy.

488
00:23:12,160 --> 00:23:14,040
But that's one
that we need to put in there.

489
00:23:15,080 --> 00:23:17,680
Heading on to Les Saisies.

490
00:23:17,680 --> 00:23:20,680
15km of slog.

491
00:23:28,160 --> 00:23:32,040
Rest and recovery is is as important
as the exercise itself,

492
00:23:32,320 --> 00:23:35,800
and this becomes
especially true as we age

493
00:23:36,120 --> 00:23:39,400
and as we age,
the way that our body adapts

494
00:23:39,400 --> 00:23:42,640
and the recovery time
that we need is actually longer.

495
00:23:42,840 --> 00:23:44,160
You need to pay attention to body.

496
00:23:44,160 --> 00:23:46,800
You need to understand
how much rest you need.

497
00:23:46,800 --> 00:23:50,000
And it is not a personal failure
to need more rest.

498
00:23:50,000 --> 00:23:53,400
It is you listening to your body
and giving your body

499
00:23:53,880 --> 00:23:57,160
the best opportunity
to be as strong as it can be.

500
00:23:57,720 --> 00:23:59,520
You don't care
what the other riders are doing,

501
00:23:59,520 --> 00:24:02,920
you just want to get up this climb
and hopefully not stop along the road

502
00:24:02,920 --> 00:24:04,680
but there's no shame if you do.

503
00:24:04,680 --> 00:24:07,320
Nice you got it Jack.
It's all flat here.

504
00:24:07,320 --> 00:24:09,000
All right, we're at the summit.

505
00:24:09,000 --> 00:24:10,120
Love to hear the cowbells.

506
00:24:14,000 --> 00:24:17,040
You doing great. You’re doing great!

507
00:24:17,240 --> 00:24:17,560
Yeah.

508
00:24:17,560 --> 00:24:20,520
Keep going! Well done!

509
00:24:20,520 --> 00:24:22,000
Stop start, stop start.

510
00:24:22,000 --> 00:24:24,000
But made it. You kept going.

511
00:24:24,000 --> 00:24:25,480
Yeah. Here you are.

512
00:24:25,480 --> 00:24:27,800
Yeah. At the top.

513
00:24:27,800 --> 00:24:30,840
Huge accomplishment.

514
00:24:30,840 --> 00:24:33,840
So proud.

515
00:24:34,000 --> 00:24:37,000
I'll be a nice cyclist soon.

516
00:24:37,320 --> 00:24:39,440
I know the way now.

517
00:24:41,880 --> 00:24:45,240
All the great things you could do
and possibilities

518
00:24:45,240 --> 00:24:48,280
you had, physically,
as a younger person,

519
00:24:48,720 --> 00:24:52,400
you start to lose
kind of naturally as an older person.

520
00:24:53,000 --> 00:24:55,080
Unless you work on it.

521
00:24:55,080 --> 00:24:58,080
That is like a roller coaster.

522
00:24:58,080 --> 00:25:00,880
You know, that's so much fun.

523
00:25:00,880 --> 00:25:04,280
I mean, beautiful.

524
00:25:04,640 --> 00:25:07,640
I mean, it's just like dying
and going to heaven.

525
00:25:09,480 --> 00:25:10,560
In the Tour de France,

526
00:25:10,560 --> 00:25:13,560
they come down here at 90km an hour.

527
00:25:14,360 --> 00:25:15,960
Don't attempt it, Jack.

528
00:25:20,160 --> 00:25:22,200
We did it. Another day.

529
00:25:24,120 --> 00:25:25,560
Great day.

530
00:25:31,800 --> 00:25:33,360
Well, let's see what today brings.

531
00:25:33,360 --> 00:25:37,880
Because the Col du Pre is a pearl
in the Alps, if you can find it.

532
00:25:38,280 --> 00:25:40,560
And of course,
the Cormet de Roselend

533
00:25:40,560 --> 00:25:42,360
this is a brute.

534
00:25:42,360 --> 00:25:45,480
So, Jack, do you remember that VO2
max test that we did

535
00:25:45,480 --> 00:25:48,120
at Olympic Training Center?
Yeah, yeah.

536
00:25:48,120 --> 00:25:51,000
Come on, come on. Faster.

537
00:25:51,000 --> 00:25:52,280
You get to it jack. You can do it.

538
00:25:52,280 --> 00:25:54,480
Where we sort of cranked up
the workload

539
00:25:54,480 --> 00:25:55,680
a little bit more, a little bit more.

540
00:25:55,680 --> 00:25:57,960
We were able to measure
your intensity.

541
00:25:57,960 --> 00:26:01,240
And during that test,
we used this Borg scale

542
00:26:01,400 --> 00:26:03,080
we would say, how you doing?

543
00:26:03,080 --> 00:26:04,920
You'd say easy, difficult.

544
00:26:04,920 --> 00:26:06,720
And you'd point to a number here.

545
00:26:06,720 --> 00:26:10,960
So four - I'm cruising along
comfortably or, you know, eight

546
00:26:10,960 --> 00:26:13,960
very hard and I need to
take one of your breathing breaks.

547
00:26:14,120 --> 00:26:17,040
If you can talk in complete
sentences, have a conversation

548
00:26:17,040 --> 00:26:17,760
with me

549
00:26:17,760 --> 00:26:20,760
you're probably down
in this very easy range.

550
00:26:21,120 --> 00:26:24,120
And then when you get up here
in the very hard, extremely hard,

551
00:26:24,120 --> 00:26:26,320
it's like one word
answers like, Yes. Stop..

552
00:26:29,360 --> 00:26:31,840
And then we're
going to put these oxygen saturation

553
00:26:31,840 --> 00:26:34,840
meters on. As
your heart pumps blood faster

554
00:26:34,960 --> 00:26:39,120
there's less time for the oxygen to
go from your lungs into your blood.

555
00:26:39,360 --> 00:26:41,760
And so the saturation kind of falls.

556
00:26:41,760 --> 00:26:45,240
So that combined with the intensity
and the heart rate,

557
00:26:45,240 --> 00:26:48,240
you will have a really good measure
of how you're all doing on the hill.

558
00:26:48,240 --> 00:26:51,240
And I promise
I'll keep the defibrillator handy.

559
00:26:52,360 --> 00:26:55,080
It's good to really know
how to pace yourself.

560
00:26:55,080 --> 00:26:58,080
And for most people,
you know, staying

561
00:26:58,800 --> 00:27:01,800
sort of below
that threshold of the talk-test

562
00:27:01,880 --> 00:27:04,880
most of the time where you
can carry on a conversation is good,

563
00:27:05,120 --> 00:27:08,600
but every once in a while
you got to push it up higher

564
00:27:08,960 --> 00:27:11,440
into that intense zone,
because that's what

565
00:27:11,440 --> 00:27:13,240
keeps your maximum capacity up.

566
00:27:13,240 --> 00:27:16,920
But a good place to start is just
to try to push up to that level

567
00:27:16,920 --> 00:27:19,040
where you start to get breathless

568
00:27:19,040 --> 00:27:21,480
and that tells
you you're doing some work.

569
00:27:21,480 --> 00:27:25,040
But that sort of intermittent
activity where you go slowly

570
00:27:25,040 --> 00:27:28,960
and then you push a little harder,
whatever that means for you.

571
00:27:29,640 --> 00:27:32,280
It could be
climbing up a col like this,

572
00:27:33,320 --> 00:27:35,080
or it could be just

573
00:27:35,080 --> 00:27:38,280
walking slowly
on the one part of the block

574
00:27:38,280 --> 00:27:40,400
and then walking a little bit
more briskly on the other.

575
00:27:40,400 --> 00:27:43,400
And that will really help
keep your fitness up.

576
00:27:43,720 --> 00:27:46,720
How's everybody's breathing?

577
00:27:46,800 --> 00:27:47,760
Right. Okay.

578
00:27:47,760 --> 00:27:49,480
Yeah, I can talk.

579
00:27:49,480 --> 00:27:50,640
You can talk.

580
00:27:50,640 --> 00:27:53,640
Jack, what are you at? Four. Four!

581
00:27:54,960 --> 00:27:57,960
I'm still talking.

582
00:27:58,160 --> 00:28:00,680
But I think I'm moving to five.

583
00:28:00,680 --> 00:28:02,760
Jack's doing great.

584
00:28:03,440 --> 00:28:06,440
He's only at five
and a half - heart rate 135.

585
00:28:06,600 --> 00:28:07,880
What's your number Jiggs ?

586
00:28:07,880 --> 00:28:10,320
Six. Six. Seven. Seven.

587
00:28:10,320 --> 00:28:11,000
Okay.

588
00:28:11,000 --> 00:28:13,760
Seven and a half

589
00:28:13,760 --> 00:28:15,560
Okay.

590
00:28:15,560 --> 00:28:16,680
Short of breath.

591
00:28:16,680 --> 00:28:18,440
Steeper.

592
00:28:18,440 --> 00:28:21,080
It's getting warmer too,

593
00:28:21,080 --> 00:28:23,760
that increases
the heart rate even higher

594
00:28:23,760 --> 00:28:26,080
as your body tries to cool itself.

595
00:28:27,040 --> 00:28:28,680
Eight.

596
00:28:28,680 --> 00:28:31,200
I hear some heavy
breathing back there.

597
00:28:31,200 --> 00:28:34,000
What's your number, Jack?

598
00:28:34,000 --> 00:28:35,160
Getting in to eight.

599
00:28:35,160 --> 00:28:37,200
Eight. He's in the red zone.

600
00:28:38,440 --> 00:28:39,640
Very hard.

601
00:28:39,640 --> 00:28:41,800
What number are you Jiggs?

602
00:28:56,440 --> 00:28:59,440
I need to lie down in the grass.

603
00:29:06,560 --> 00:29:09,000
If you could give one piece of advice

604
00:29:09,000 --> 00:29:13,040
to young people, what would it be?

605
00:29:13,040 --> 00:29:16,360
I think, sports,
take up sports.

606
00:29:17,160 --> 00:29:19,120
Woah!

607
00:29:19,120 --> 00:29:21,920
Keep going, keep going. You got it.

608
00:29:21,920 --> 00:29:24,640
Besides biking,
what's the other thing

609
00:29:24,640 --> 00:29:27,240
that you've done
consistently in your life?

610
00:29:27,880 --> 00:29:30,880
Mountain climbing.

611
00:29:31,480 --> 00:29:32,280
Okay, Jack.

612
00:29:32,280 --> 00:29:35,280
Climb when you're ready!

613
00:29:35,840 --> 00:29:38,520
It seems like you'd get very close

614
00:29:38,520 --> 00:29:41,560
because your life depends
on the other person.

615
00:29:41,560 --> 00:29:43,960
Yeah. For sure.

616
00:29:43,960 --> 00:29:45,160
Yeah, yeah. Oh, yeah.

617
00:29:45,160 --> 00:29:47,640
You have to trust in your teammates.

618
00:29:47,640 --> 00:29:50,640
That must bring
you very close together.

619
00:29:58,960 --> 00:30:01,960
Col du Pre. Nice job.

620
00:30:04,320 --> 00:30:05,080
All this scenery

621
00:30:05,080 --> 00:30:07,440
that kind of really picks me up.

622
00:30:08,640 --> 00:30:11,640
Way to go! The finishing line.

623
00:30:17,400 --> 00:30:18,840
I think a lot of us sort of

624
00:30:18,840 --> 00:30:22,160
feel that somehow
our genes are set in stone,

625
00:30:22,680 --> 00:30:25,960
and that those are the things that
are going to determine our future.

626
00:30:26,120 --> 00:30:28,040
And there's nothing
we can do about it.

627
00:30:28,040 --> 00:30:30,040
And that's actually not the case.

628
00:30:30,040 --> 00:30:34,760
You know, there's so many things
that influence whether we are

629
00:30:34,760 --> 00:30:38,520
in a healthy state or whether were
suffering from diseases.

630
00:30:38,520 --> 00:30:42,360
And we have many choices
that we make that

631
00:30:42,360 --> 00:30:46,760
do influence how those genes
actually get expressed

632
00:30:47,200 --> 00:30:51,840
and how the chemicals, the proteins,
all of the things that come from

633
00:30:51,840 --> 00:30:55,120
our genes are influenced by the world
around us.

634
00:30:55,680 --> 00:30:58,800
Our stress level,
we know, is a really important

635
00:30:58,800 --> 00:31:02,040
determinant
of how the genes get expressed.

636
00:31:02,640 --> 00:31:07,360
So what I think is really important
is that we have an understanding

637
00:31:07,360 --> 00:31:11,600
that we have the ability to adapt,
we have the ability to influence.

638
00:31:11,600 --> 00:31:14,040
And so we do have
some choices to make.

639
00:31:14,040 --> 00:31:17,160
We do have the ability
to to make things better.

640
00:31:25,040 --> 00:31:28,040
Incredible.

641
00:31:29,440 --> 00:31:33,000
Your mindset actually
has a physical change on your body.

642
00:31:33,000 --> 00:31:37,640
So your mindset is not just about
what your emotion is.

643
00:31:37,640 --> 00:31:43,320
And that's why mindset training,
mindfulness, the contemplation ways

644
00:31:43,320 --> 00:31:46,560
that we can alter our health
are really, really important.

645
00:31:46,840 --> 00:31:50,080
And it's not really infused
into Western society.

646
00:31:50,080 --> 00:31:53,080
This comes very much
from eastern societies.

647
00:31:53,200 --> 00:31:57,360
So this term of epigenetics, it's
something that we need to harness

648
00:31:57,360 --> 00:31:57,960
more.

649
00:31:57,960 --> 00:32:01,200
And I think it's starting to happen
and it's very powerful.

650
00:32:03,720 --> 00:32:06,040
When we lower our stress, it's
not just an emotion.

651
00:32:06,040 --> 00:32:08,200
There's a physical component
to stress.

652
00:32:08,200 --> 00:32:09,240
We all feel it.

653
00:32:09,240 --> 00:32:12,240
That feeling of tension,
that feeling of heart racing

654
00:32:12,240 --> 00:32:14,160
and that has an influence

655
00:32:14,160 --> 00:32:18,240
on how our bodies actually function
and are disease inducing.

656
00:32:18,240 --> 00:32:22,440
So there's this amazing
feedback loop between mind and body

657
00:32:22,440 --> 00:32:26,280
wellness and the things that we do
to keep our minds healthy,

658
00:32:26,280 --> 00:32:30,480
to keep our stress in check,
to keep our connections with people

659
00:32:30,720 --> 00:32:34,160
which are very, very important
for our sense of well-being.

660
00:32:34,560 --> 00:32:38,080
Our minds can either enable
or disable us

661
00:32:38,080 --> 00:32:41,720
from what our physical capability
is to do things,

662
00:32:42,000 --> 00:32:45,280
and that everybody comes
with their own talent

663
00:32:45,280 --> 00:32:47,840
and their own access
to their inner strength.

664
00:32:50,640 --> 00:32:51,240
When I'm doing

665
00:32:51,240 --> 00:32:54,720
a long bike ride, I found that
I could get into a rhythm

666
00:32:55,520 --> 00:32:58,680
that took my body, my heart rate

667
00:32:59,480 --> 00:33:02,840
and my thinking to a new place,
which is almost like being

668
00:33:02,840 --> 00:33:06,680
in a trance because all of the other
things that are on my mind

669
00:33:06,680 --> 00:33:09,720
or that I'm thinking about,
I can make disappear.

670
00:33:10,360 --> 00:33:12,840
And just riding that bike
with the pleasure

671
00:33:12,840 --> 00:33:17,200
of under your own steam
and being out in nature

672
00:33:18,120 --> 00:33:21,120
allows you to do that.

673
00:33:21,600 --> 00:33:23,160
One of the most interesting things

674
00:33:23,160 --> 00:33:27,360
we've learned about aging in recent
decades is how much attitude

675
00:33:27,440 --> 00:33:30,520
plays a role
in one's experience of old age.

676
00:33:30,840 --> 00:33:36,760
What we see is that 70% of
limitations are self-imposed

677
00:33:36,760 --> 00:33:40,960
based on attitude,
not actually on ability,

678
00:33:40,960 --> 00:33:45,120
potential or opportunity,
but have that ambition.

679
00:33:46,320 --> 00:33:48,320
We’ve arrived

680
00:33:48,600 --> 00:33:51,120
just in time for the rain.

681
00:33:51,120 --> 00:33:52,680
Today, it was hot.

682
00:33:52,680 --> 00:33:55,680
Oh, before the storm.

683
00:33:55,920 --> 00:33:58,280
Just before the storm.

684
00:33:58,480 --> 00:34:01,240
One bolt of lightning

685
00:34:03,640 --> 00:34:04,800
One with the glasses off?

686
00:34:04,800 --> 00:34:06,840
Well done. Any more?

687
00:34:06,840 --> 00:34:07,480
Look to me.

688
00:34:08,560 --> 00:34:10,640
That's a great ride guys.

689
00:34:11,480 --> 00:34:13,440
The riders are getting their form.

690
00:34:13,440 --> 00:34:16,000
They're about to get their toughest
climb so far.

691
00:34:16,000 --> 00:34:20,560
The Col de la Madeleine is twists
and turns, and it never relents.

692
00:34:21,520 --> 00:34:22,840
Today should be interesting.

693
00:34:22,840 --> 00:34:23,960
We're going to make a game of it.

694
00:34:23,960 --> 00:34:27,000
We're going to give Jack and Jiggs
a very large head start.

695
00:34:27,000 --> 00:34:29,960
Tanya, Fred
and I are going to do an extra col.

696
00:34:29,960 --> 00:34:32,960
Let's see if we can get them.

697
00:34:33,160 --> 00:34:35,400
There's
such an interesting interaction

698
00:34:35,400 --> 00:34:38,640
between physiologic age
and chronological age.

699
00:34:39,080 --> 00:34:43,320
And by that I mean how old your body
is in terms of bodily

700
00:34:43,320 --> 00:34:47,000
aging versus how many years
you've lived your chronological age.

701
00:34:47,440 --> 00:34:50,440
And they can be out of sync
in either direction.

702
00:34:50,840 --> 00:34:53,840
So you can be chronologically
quite old

703
00:34:54,320 --> 00:34:57,320
and be biologically quite fit.

704
00:34:57,360 --> 00:35:01,760
And I think that we need to think
about as a society when people are

705
00:35:02,600 --> 00:35:05,040
older
biologically than chronologically,

706
00:35:05,040 --> 00:35:07,160
what are we doing
to put them in that position?

707
00:35:07,160 --> 00:35:10,160
Because those
are usually social decisions.

708
00:35:10,160 --> 00:35:12,680
And when people are younger
physiologically

709
00:35:12,680 --> 00:35:16,240
than they are chronologically,
what is it they are doing that

710
00:35:16,240 --> 00:35:20,400
we should institute at a policy level
and make available to everyone

711
00:35:20,600 --> 00:35:24,160
so that we can all age
better, be healthier, longer,

712
00:35:24,600 --> 00:35:28,240
and contributing to our societies
and communities and families.

713
00:35:28,640 --> 00:35:31,280
Wow, look at all you've done in

714
00:35:31,280 --> 00:35:33,320
a few months!
I knew you were coming over

715
00:35:34,640 --> 00:35:36,640
so I did it for my favourite
daughter-in-law.

716
00:35:36,640 --> 00:35:38,640
all this lovely color
because I know you love color.

717
00:35:38,760 --> 00:35:40,640
Thank you. That's all right.

718
00:35:41,280 --> 00:35:43,840
One of the great opportunities
of elderhood

719
00:35:43,840 --> 00:35:48,120
is that this is an opportunity
to express yourself in new ways.

720
00:35:48,720 --> 00:35:50,640
But this is stunning as it is.

721
00:35:50,640 --> 00:35:53,400
I did my best for you?

722
00:35:53,400 --> 00:35:56,720
For many people, it's
that they want to be creative.

723
00:35:56,840 --> 00:35:59,280
That can be music,
it can be gardening,

724
00:35:59,280 --> 00:36:02,080
it can be painting,
it can be anything.

725
00:36:02,080 --> 00:36:04,160
How about for the almost 90 year old?

726
00:36:04,160 --> 00:36:04,920
Hard work?

727
00:36:04,920 --> 00:36:07,560
It's hard work for a 90 year
old. It's getting harder.

728
00:36:07,560 --> 00:36:09,760
So look at what you've done.

729
00:36:09,760 --> 00:36:12,760
But the enjoyment you get
is fantastic.

730
00:36:16,920 --> 00:36:19,560
Hot-lips they call that.
I can see why.

731
00:36:19,560 --> 00:36:20,760
Yeah.

732
00:36:22,000 --> 00:36:24,640
So is this like
your favorite exercise to do this?

733
00:36:24,640 --> 00:36:26,120
Yes, I like it.

734
00:36:26,120 --> 00:36:30,480
And, I cut the grass
the other day and, it's rewarding.

735
00:36:31,080 --> 00:36:33,960
There was nothing here when I came,
you know, it was,

736
00:36:33,960 --> 00:36:35,400
it was like a wilderness.

737
00:36:35,400 --> 00:36:36,960
So 20 years ago, it was just

738
00:36:36,960 --> 00:36:38,720
weeds and things. Yeah.

739
00:36:38,720 --> 00:36:41,960
So it's kind of like your retirement,
your passion.

740
00:36:58,280 --> 00:37:01,680
My love of the outdoors
has always been a part of me.

741
00:37:01,680 --> 00:37:02,880
And we would just be out

742
00:37:02,880 --> 00:37:06,040
and play and explore
and be a part of the natural world.

743
00:37:06,360 --> 00:37:09,960
And I feel like that
really oriented me towards

744
00:37:09,960 --> 00:37:13,080
all of the later activities
and adventures that I've had,

745
00:37:13,080 --> 00:37:14,520
especially in the mountains.

746
00:37:14,520 --> 00:37:17,440
If I'm with people
that I really care for.

747
00:37:17,440 --> 00:37:21,360
So that connection of social element
and nature and physical activity

748
00:37:21,360 --> 00:37:22,800
is just very special to me.

749
00:37:26,560 --> 00:37:29,160
And that connection with nature

750
00:37:29,160 --> 00:37:32,240
adds a whole nother layer of benefit
where, you know, you can see

751
00:37:32,240 --> 00:37:36,080
people's blood pressure
drop, hear mood elevate.

752
00:37:38,480 --> 00:37:39,840
Oh, look at that little one.

753
00:37:39,840 --> 00:37:42,320
Yeah. It's so sweet.

754
00:37:42,320 --> 00:37:43,920
Are there any predators?

755
00:37:43,920 --> 00:37:45,440
No, they're really beautiful.

756
00:37:45,440 --> 00:37:47,040
You see that guy?

757
00:37:47,040 --> 00:37:48,600
Big guy?

758
00:37:48,600 --> 00:37:51,200
He's lounging.

759
00:37:51,200 --> 00:37:52,720
I'd want to be one of those.

760
00:37:52,720 --> 00:37:55,720
Yeah, it would be a good place to be.

761
00:37:57,040 --> 00:37:57,960
Nice.

762
00:37:57,960 --> 00:38:00,240
Right?

763
00:38:00,240 --> 00:38:03,760
I think it's pretty clear
that the link between humans

764
00:38:04,120 --> 00:38:08,120
and the natural world, the human
encroachment on natural habitats

765
00:38:08,120 --> 00:38:11,960
is a really big threat to the health
of the human population,

766
00:38:11,960 --> 00:38:15,600
but also a really big threat to the
the health of the planet.

767
00:38:15,840 --> 00:38:19,040
And we can't have the health of one
without the health of the other.

768
00:38:19,040 --> 00:38:20,840
These these are,
I think, are two crises

769
00:38:20,840 --> 00:38:23,760
that pretty much every community
around the world is facing.

770
00:38:26,520 --> 00:38:29,640
We are suffering
from nature deficit disorder,

771
00:38:29,920 --> 00:38:30,280
and it

772
00:38:30,280 --> 00:38:34,880
leads to a series of chronic diseases
like obesity and type two diabetes,

773
00:38:35,160 --> 00:38:37,160
and that some of that is
lack of exercise,

774
00:38:37,160 --> 00:38:40,600
and some of that is lack of exposure
to the natural world.

775
00:38:43,040 --> 00:38:45,680
It gets steep all of a sudden.

776
00:38:45,680 --> 00:38:48,920
Can I say that I’m full of joy,

777
00:38:49,680 --> 00:38:51,920
having gotten up here the first time

778
00:38:51,920 --> 00:38:54,920
after 35 years?

779
00:38:55,880 --> 00:38:56,760
From sea level

780
00:38:56,760 --> 00:38:59,760
to this, my challenge
with the altitude.

781
00:39:00,600 --> 00:39:03,960
The Col de la Madeleine is known
as the serpent of the Alps

782
00:39:04,280 --> 00:39:07,280
because of all its twists and turns.

783
00:39:07,920 --> 00:39:10,080
Jack's ambitions is obvious.

784
00:39:10,080 --> 00:39:13,080
Just ride on and beat them all.

785
00:39:13,160 --> 00:39:15,480
No hurry, Jack, no hurry.

786
00:39:15,480 --> 00:39:17,240
Easy.

787
00:39:17,240 --> 00:39:20,240
No. This is too beautiful
to be believed.

788
00:39:24,640 --> 00:39:27,480
Yeah.

789
00:39:27,480 --> 00:39:29,120
That's great.

790
00:39:31,560 --> 00:39:33,000
Well done Jack.

791
00:39:33,000 --> 00:39:33,800
Well done.

792
00:39:35,160 --> 00:39:37,200
Crazy.

793
00:39:37,200 --> 00:39:39,360
Look at that.

794
00:39:39,360 --> 00:39:42,360
La Madeleine.

795
00:39:44,720 --> 00:39:46,480
So in my younger years,

796
00:39:46,480 --> 00:39:47,040
I took care of

797
00:39:47,040 --> 00:39:48,640
a lot of people
who are having heart attacks,

798
00:39:48,640 --> 00:39:49,960
and they already
had their heart disease.

799
00:39:49,960 --> 00:39:53,360
And you had to intervene and
do all these incredible procedures.

800
00:39:54,000 --> 00:39:55,840
In my later years,

801
00:39:55,840 --> 00:39:58,720
I've embraced the whole concept
of preventative medicine.

802
00:39:58,720 --> 00:40:01,280
So it's very important
as people are getting older,

803
00:40:01,280 --> 00:40:03,800
that they actually spend
even more time

804
00:40:03,800 --> 00:40:07,720
focusing on their wellness
physically fit, mentally fit,

805
00:40:08,040 --> 00:40:11,760
engaged with other people,
doing things that people love,

806
00:40:12,400 --> 00:40:15,400
and hopefully they can embrace it
with passion.

807
00:40:17,080 --> 00:40:21,080
Hey, that is a good...

808
00:40:21,080 --> 00:40:22,120
good speed.

809
00:40:22,120 --> 00:40:23,480
That’s one hell of a climb.

810
00:40:23,480 --> 00:40:26,040
I can’t believe you guys
did that.

811
00:40:26,040 --> 00:40:28,800
You almost you beat us here.

812
00:40:28,800 --> 00:40:32,120
Thankyou, that was so good.

813
00:40:32,760 --> 00:40:33,920
And where's Anne?

814
00:40:33,920 --> 00:40:34,560
She's coming.

815
00:40:34,560 --> 00:40:35,040
She's coming.

816
00:40:35,040 --> 00:40:37,040
Okay. She's close.

817
00:40:37,040 --> 00:40:38,880
Four kilometers. 10%.

818
00:40:40,680 --> 00:40:42,600
Holy-molly... we got it.

819
00:40:42,600 --> 00:40:45,600
Madeline continues and continues.

820
00:40:45,680 --> 00:40:48,800
The Tour de France
avoided this until 1969.

821
00:40:51,000 --> 00:40:53,640
This is the longest distance,

822
00:40:53,640 --> 00:40:56,200
most elevation

823
00:40:56,200 --> 00:40:59,160
I will ever have done

824
00:40:59,160 --> 00:41:01,840
and it’s day five.

825
00:41:01,840 --> 00:41:03,720
So far

826
00:41:03,720 --> 00:41:06,720
my legs are hanging in there.

827
00:41:08,440 --> 00:41:11,760
And to be honest, I never really
expected it to happen to me.

828
00:41:12,000 --> 00:41:16,360
But like everybody else,
surprise, surprise, I am aging too.

829
00:41:16,760 --> 00:41:18,880
And you make adjustments.

830
00:41:18,880 --> 00:41:22,080
But it doesn't diminish
the joy that you can have out in

831
00:41:22,080 --> 00:41:24,360
the environment
is just slightly different decisions,

832
00:41:24,360 --> 00:41:25,440
and you have to sort of feel

833
00:41:25,440 --> 00:41:28,680
where your body is and what you can
and can't do at this stage.

834
00:41:29,040 --> 00:41:31,880
Well done!
Everyone is waiting for me.

835
00:41:31,880 --> 00:41:33,880
Awesome.

836
00:41:33,880 --> 00:41:36,880
Super, super super.

837
00:41:37,520 --> 00:41:40,880
Oh, that was harsh.

838
00:41:42,480 --> 00:41:45,960
Oh, Good job.

839
00:41:46,040 --> 00:41:46,920
I kept moving

840
00:41:47,880 --> 00:41:48,480
the whole time.

841
00:41:48,480 --> 00:41:50,400
Lovely, lovely.

842
00:41:50,400 --> 00:41:52,480
Well done! you too!

843
00:42:06,080 --> 00:42:09,080
The serpent is behind them now.

844
00:42:11,240 --> 00:42:12,760
It's not going to get any easier

845
00:42:12,760 --> 00:42:15,680
on this sixth day they climb
the Col de la Croix de Fer.

846
00:42:15,680 --> 00:42:18,040
This, this is a brute.

847
00:42:18,040 --> 00:42:21,040
And the riders in the Tour de France
simply hate it.

848
00:42:27,840 --> 00:42:30,840
So as a society,
we need to realize that lives

849
00:42:30,840 --> 00:42:34,320
can be made
joyful and safe at every age.

850
00:42:34,760 --> 00:42:37,440
That assumption is key.

851
00:42:37,440 --> 00:42:42,240
There's so many things that we know
work well, so many programs

852
00:42:42,240 --> 00:42:45,800
that have huge benefit,
but we don't invest in them.

853
00:42:46,040 --> 00:42:49,440
Instead, we're we're catching
the new thing that's new and spending

854
00:42:49,440 --> 00:42:54,560
billions and trillions
on novel cures for the few.

855
00:42:55,200 --> 00:42:58,440
Why not emphasize that which works

856
00:42:58,440 --> 00:43:02,280
well and grow
it, thereby helping the many?

857
00:43:03,880 --> 00:43:06,240
So in big population, like in India,

858
00:43:06,240 --> 00:43:09,240
there is a big issue of accessibility
in healthcare.

859
00:43:10,640 --> 00:43:13,800
Heart rate and blood pressure
are the two statistics

860
00:43:13,800 --> 00:43:17,200
that doctors use as indicators
for health and fitness.

861
00:43:17,440 --> 00:43:20,080
So if you have a banking app
on your phone,

862
00:43:20,080 --> 00:43:21,640
then why not a health app

863
00:43:21,640 --> 00:43:24,640
that delivers the vital information
back to your doctor

864
00:43:24,640 --> 00:43:27,640
so that the doctor
can remotely take care of you?

865
00:43:27,960 --> 00:43:30,960
And if you want to
maintain quality of care,

866
00:43:31,280 --> 00:43:33,880
this particular piece of telemedicine

867
00:43:33,880 --> 00:43:36,880
becomes very, very important.

868
00:43:37,520 --> 00:43:40,520
What we all want is health
care to try

869
00:43:40,520 --> 00:43:44,760
and not get diseases,
to not develop diseases.

870
00:43:45,000 --> 00:43:48,920
And we actually know how to do this
with the right food,

871
00:43:48,920 --> 00:43:52,680
with the right exercise,
with the right amount of sleep, being

872
00:43:52,680 --> 00:43:56,720
less stressed and making career
and life decisions that further that

873
00:43:57,200 --> 00:44:00,200
with enough social connections,
with enough joy.

874
00:44:00,480 --> 00:44:01,680
We know how to do this.

875
00:44:01,680 --> 00:44:04,320
But the system doesn't pay
for any of that.

876
00:44:04,320 --> 00:44:08,280
It wants you to be sick in
pretty much all countries.

877
00:44:08,720 --> 00:44:11,520
So if we prioritized health,

878
00:44:11,520 --> 00:44:13,680
that's not to say
we don't have treatment for disease.

879
00:44:13,680 --> 00:44:15,720
We would have a lot less disease.

880
00:44:15,720 --> 00:44:17,480
People say, how do you pay for this?

881
00:44:17,480 --> 00:44:20,480
Well, if you have a lot less disease,
your costs go down.

882
00:44:20,480 --> 00:44:24,720
You could much better afford to pay
for lots of people to get exercise,

883
00:44:24,720 --> 00:44:27,760
for example,
to have access to healthy food

884
00:44:27,960 --> 00:44:30,560
and to learn
how to make it and enjoy it

885
00:44:30,560 --> 00:44:33,640
because you feel better
when you eat that way.

886
00:44:33,840 --> 00:44:36,000
I mean, do I like a good
chocolate chip cookie? I do.

887
00:44:38,640 --> 00:44:41,640
It’s a holistic approach to wellness

888
00:44:41,640 --> 00:44:45,160
across the lifespan, which I think
is something we all need.

889
00:44:45,480 --> 00:44:48,600
And most societies
aren't doing as well as they might.

890
00:44:48,760 --> 00:44:51,760
And then we have to focus on health
more than disease.

891
00:44:55,720 --> 00:44:59,160
Throughout the lifespan,
you will lose functional capacity.

892
00:44:59,640 --> 00:45:02,520
But those people who are exercising
regularly, you know,

893
00:45:02,520 --> 00:45:05,040
they're noticing these changes
and it can be frustrating.

894
00:45:05,040 --> 00:45:08,000
You can't run as fast as you used
to. You need more recovery time.

895
00:45:08,000 --> 00:45:11,240
So you are declining, but you're
not declining at the same rate.

896
00:45:11,640 --> 00:45:14,600
And you will go through life
and hopefully not reach

897
00:45:14,600 --> 00:45:17,760
that threshold of disability.
For people who aren't moving at all,

898
00:45:17,760 --> 00:45:19,080
there's no feedback.

899
00:45:19,080 --> 00:45:22,560
There's no information
for them to know that they are

900
00:45:22,560 --> 00:45:25,920
also on a downward trajectory,
but they're not noticing.

901
00:45:26,520 --> 00:45:28,360
And the problem
is, is that they will get

902
00:45:28,360 --> 00:45:31,080
to that threshold of a disability
and then it's too late.

903
00:45:31,080 --> 00:45:35,280
So if there’s were a way to get
people, whether they're active or not

904
00:45:35,280 --> 00:45:38,880
to understand sort of where they are
on the curve of life

905
00:45:39,000 --> 00:45:41,720
before they get to that point
where they lose their independence

906
00:45:41,720 --> 00:45:42,920
and they drop below the threshold

907
00:45:42,920 --> 00:45:46,600
disability, that would be very useful
for us as a society.

908
00:45:47,400 --> 00:45:52,240
You lose your capacity to move, then
that is one of the biggest penalties

909
00:45:52,240 --> 00:45:55,320
in your quality of life that exists
because you're losing independence.

910
00:45:56,400 --> 00:45:59,400
Oh my God, look at that.

911
00:45:59,680 --> 00:46:00,840
The one thing is being motivated.

912
00:46:00,840 --> 00:46:02,640
The other thing is getting down
and doing things.

913
00:46:02,640 --> 00:46:05,840
You have to be able
to have that opening.

914
00:46:06,080 --> 00:46:06,680
Where are you going to say,

915
00:46:06,680 --> 00:46:10,920
I am going to take the time
to take care of my body.

916
00:46:11,520 --> 00:46:13,520
Be patient.

917
00:46:13,520 --> 00:46:15,080
Don't be too ambitious.

918
00:46:15,080 --> 00:46:18,080
Build up very progressively.

919
00:46:18,560 --> 00:46:20,200
Persevere in your activity.

920
00:46:20,200 --> 00:46:22,720
Give a bit of variety.

921
00:46:22,720 --> 00:46:24,520
Sure, you can last on 3,

922
00:46:24,520 --> 00:46:27,200
4, 5, 6 months
without really enjoying it.

923
00:46:27,200 --> 00:46:28,800
You'll never go further.

924
00:46:28,800 --> 00:46:33,040
So that means if you have to explore
other paths to activity,

925
00:46:33,440 --> 00:46:36,440
explore them.

926
00:46:37,440 --> 00:46:37,800
I didn't

927
00:46:37,800 --> 00:46:42,480
see the little sign
one kilometer to go, but we have 0.39

928
00:46:42,480 --> 00:46:46,560
miles and 110 elevation feet to go.

929
00:46:46,600 --> 00:46:49,600
Oh. Not very far.

930
00:46:52,280 --> 00:46:54,000
All right.

931
00:46:54,000 --> 00:46:54,480
Excellent.

932
00:46:54,480 --> 00:46:55,520
Well done Jack.

933
00:47:00,240 --> 00:47:02,920
Lead the way! Cross the finish-line!

934
00:47:06,480 --> 00:47:07,320
Amazing effort!

935
00:47:07,560 --> 00:47:08,840
Jiggs!

936
00:47:09,320 --> 00:47:10,920
Amazing job.

937
00:47:10,920 --> 00:47:12,960
Well done.

938
00:47:12,960 --> 00:47:14,360
You're not even sweating.

939
00:47:14,360 --> 00:47:15,760
When you going to start working?

940
00:47:15,760 --> 00:47:18,600
Wow, wow. Thank you so much.

941
00:47:18,600 --> 00:47:19,600
To a cyclist

942
00:47:19,600 --> 00:47:22,720
there's one mountain in the Alps
that must be attempted.

943
00:47:23,000 --> 00:47:27,040
It’s the climb of Alpe d’Huez.
21 numbered corners.

944
00:47:27,040 --> 00:47:31,120
This is a huge challenge for our
intrepid team, the Mecca of the Alps

945
00:47:31,120 --> 00:47:35,120
as far as the cyclists are concerned,
it's a battle now to climb

946
00:47:35,120 --> 00:47:38,120
the most iconic mountain in the Alps.

947
00:47:40,200 --> 00:47:42,840
You've got your professional
activities, you've left

948
00:47:42,840 --> 00:47:45,840
a bit of the sports, you've
got your family to take care of,

949
00:47:46,160 --> 00:47:51,400
and then you wake up at some point
when you're 45 or 50 or 55,

950
00:47:51,760 --> 00:47:54,560
you wake up with those extra
ten kilos

951
00:47:54,560 --> 00:47:57,720
and, that deconditioning situation
and that stress.

952
00:47:58,520 --> 00:48:00,240
You're 45, okay.

953
00:48:00,240 --> 00:48:02,240
You're not taking
an antihypertensive drug.

954
00:48:02,240 --> 00:48:03,960
But I can tell you,
if you continue like this

955
00:48:03,960 --> 00:48:05,880
in five years,
you will be taking that

956
00:48:05,880 --> 00:48:08,600
hypertensive drug.
You will have high cholesterol.

957
00:48:08,600 --> 00:48:10,320
You will have degenerative arthritis.

958
00:48:10,320 --> 00:48:13,880
You want to try change things
and you'll see

959
00:48:14,520 --> 00:48:17,760
the benefits of it shedding off
kilos, getting active again,

960
00:48:18,360 --> 00:48:21,720
building up your cardiovascular,
building up your strength.

961
00:48:22,560 --> 00:48:24,040
Everything's about movement.

962
00:48:24,040 --> 00:48:26,640
Little things that we change
in our posture and movement

963
00:48:26,640 --> 00:48:30,720
habits can have a big influence
on our health,

964
00:48:30,720 --> 00:48:32,840
our performance
and our quality of life.

965
00:48:34,920 --> 00:48:35,400
There's a

966
00:48:35,400 --> 00:48:39,840
way that puts stress and strain
on our bodies, accelerates

967
00:48:39,840 --> 00:48:43,440
wear and tear, and causes us to age
before our time

968
00:48:44,160 --> 00:48:48,400
simply by unloading the joints,
allowing the muscles to work

969
00:48:48,400 --> 00:48:50,720
well around each joint
and protect it

970
00:48:50,720 --> 00:48:53,720
and movement is smooth
and effortless.

971
00:48:53,880 --> 00:48:57,480
That really makes us more physically
robust

972
00:48:57,480 --> 00:49:01,240
and resilient and resistant
to pain, injury and disease.

973
00:49:02,400 --> 00:49:06,120
It's a matter about dying
young as late as possible,

974
00:49:06,520 --> 00:49:07,720
and it really is that.

975
00:49:07,720 --> 00:49:09,280
And how do you stay young?

976
00:49:09,280 --> 00:49:11,640
You stay young because you stay fit.

977
00:49:14,520 --> 00:49:16,600
Riding up Alpe d’Huez , side by side.

978
00:49:16,600 --> 00:49:18,560
You know,
it doesn't get much better, does it?

979
00:49:18,560 --> 00:49:22,000
Well,
actually it does. Has to be so.

980
00:49:22,000 --> 00:49:24,000
Less trafficky rides.

981
00:49:25,440 --> 00:49:26,360
In the middle of nowhere.

982
00:49:26,360 --> 00:49:28,640
Yeah. This is a little
crazy today. A little crazy.

983
00:49:36,400 --> 00:49:37,680
It's hard to go at a pace to

984
00:49:37,680 --> 00:49:39,960
keep the group together
and not get hit by a truck.

985
00:49:45,880 --> 00:49:46,920
Great Jiggs.

986
00:49:46,920 --> 00:49:48,600
Doing well.

987
00:49:48,600 --> 00:49:49,440
Got to keep it going

988
00:49:49,440 --> 00:49:50,200
now to the end.

989
00:49:50,200 --> 00:49:53,080
It's really just round the bend.

990
00:49:53,080 --> 00:49:54,560
Oh la la.

991
00:49:54,560 --> 00:49:56,640
Come on.

992
00:49:56,640 --> 00:49:59,360
Drinks and cakes just ahead.

993
00:50:00,600 --> 00:50:03,600
Please don't do that, Tania.

994
00:50:06,640 --> 00:50:07,480
Stopping.

995
00:50:07,480 --> 00:50:10,440
Okay. Stopping.

996
00:50:10,440 --> 00:50:12,560
I think I like to challenge myself.

997
00:50:12,560 --> 00:50:15,800
And whatever I do, I do it
for bringing my best out.

998
00:50:16,280 --> 00:50:18,840
Good. Good.

999
00:50:18,840 --> 00:50:20,480
How many bends done?

1000
00:50:20,480 --> 00:50:21,280
There’s uh...

1001
00:50:21,280 --> 00:50:23,400
20 bends.
Still left?

1002
00:50:23,400 --> 00:50:25,600
Yes. You've only done one.

1003
00:50:25,600 --> 00:50:27,080
And you look round the first hairpin.

1004
00:50:27,080 --> 00:50:28,120
You're looking at a wall.

1005
00:50:28,120 --> 00:50:30,040
It never gets easy.

1006
00:50:31,680 --> 00:50:33,320
It's me versus me at the end.

1007
00:50:33,320 --> 00:50:34,920
When you are challenging yourself,
right?

1008
00:50:34,920 --> 00:50:38,320
Most of the time what happens is once
a person gets older,

1009
00:50:38,400 --> 00:50:41,160
the family starts,
you know, bringing them down

1010
00:50:41,160 --> 00:50:43,120
and seeing that you are
all you have to rest you.

1011
00:50:43,120 --> 00:50:45,360
You can't do this. You can't do that.

1012
00:50:45,360 --> 00:50:46,880
That narrative has to change.

1013
00:50:49,800 --> 00:50:51,360
Generally, the

1014
00:50:51,360 --> 00:50:55,600
changes, the biologic changes
that begin to change our risk

1015
00:50:55,600 --> 00:50:59,640
in terms of health and disease begin
happening in our 60s.

1016
00:50:59,920 --> 00:51:02,400
And for some people,
they're horrified by that

1017
00:51:02,400 --> 00:51:05,120
because they don't
want to be associated with old.

1018
00:51:05,120 --> 00:51:09,040
Again, the transition isn't one day
you wake up and you're an elder.

1019
00:51:09,480 --> 00:51:10,800
It's insidious.

1020
00:51:10,800 --> 00:51:14,240
Stop pretending to be younger
than you are.

1021
00:51:14,320 --> 00:51:15,440
Own that old age

1022
00:51:15,440 --> 00:51:19,200
so everybody sees that
elderhood is decades long, varied,

1023
00:51:19,360 --> 00:51:22,200
diverse, and full of opportunity.

1024
00:51:27,120 --> 00:51:29,520
Day seven of seven.

1025
00:51:29,520 --> 00:51:32,040
We're still moving.

1026
00:51:33,200 --> 00:51:34,480
At 8%, I'm fine.

1027
00:51:34,480 --> 00:51:36,000
The minute goes over that.

1028
00:51:36,000 --> 00:51:37,680
Boy, this is tough.

1029
00:51:37,680 --> 00:51:40,760
It's almost like kind
of a Zen experience.

1030
00:51:40,840 --> 00:51:42,200
It’s not just about maintaining
the body,

1031
00:51:42,200 --> 00:51:44,160
it’s about maintaining
the brain as well.

1032
00:51:44,160 --> 00:51:46,320
Jiggs! All right!

1033
00:51:46,320 --> 00:51:48,360
How are you doing, Jack?
Good to keep going, Jack.

1034
00:51:48,360 --> 00:51:50,080
Keep it moving. Easy does it.

1035
00:51:51,480 --> 00:51:53,160
I've always liked the word fit

1036
00:51:53,160 --> 00:51:54,440
since I was a boy,

1037
00:51:54,440 --> 00:51:58,800
I knew that that meant much more
than just physical fitness.

1038
00:51:58,800 --> 00:52:01,920
But being fit also means
you're mentally fit.

1039
00:52:02,120 --> 00:52:05,120
Your thoughts
get clearer and clearer and clearer.

1040
00:52:08,720 --> 00:52:10,680
That is really steep.

1041
00:52:10,680 --> 00:52:12,800
You know, I did this 30 years ago,

1042
00:52:12,800 --> 00:52:15,800
but, I didn't remember
how steep it was.

1043
00:52:15,880 --> 00:52:17,400
Thank you.

1044
00:52:17,400 --> 00:52:19,080
Here's a little shot in the arm.

1045
00:52:19,080 --> 00:52:21,120
If he can do it, I can do it, too.

1046
00:52:21,120 --> 00:52:23,240
Jack can do it. I can do it too.

1047
00:52:23,240 --> 00:52:27,720
And it's about been an average
of about between 8 and 10%,

1048
00:52:27,720 --> 00:52:30,720
sometimes 11%, grade.

1049
00:52:33,120 --> 00:52:34,320
I really felt

1050
00:52:34,320 --> 00:52:37,160
the joy of feeling
like a little concierge,

1051
00:52:37,160 --> 00:52:38,280
like in the Tour de France,

1052
00:52:38,280 --> 00:52:41,120
trying to make Jack
get up and over the passes,

1053
00:52:41,120 --> 00:52:42,720
and I sort of liked riding in front,

1054
00:52:42,720 --> 00:52:44,880
looking back
and making sure everything was okay.

1055
00:52:46,640 --> 00:52:48,120
I hadn't done

1056
00:52:48,120 --> 00:52:51,560
as much riding
as some people on the trip, and I

1057
00:52:51,840 --> 00:52:55,320
wasn't actually sure whether I was
going to make it over the passes.

1058
00:52:56,040 --> 00:52:59,760
I think everybody has this
anticipation, you know, who believe

1059
00:52:59,760 --> 00:53:03,200
that they don't have the ability
or the stamina

1060
00:53:03,480 --> 00:53:08,360
or the practice to be able to perform
in something like this.

1061
00:53:08,360 --> 00:53:11,560
And I have to say, I had a little bit
the same thought about myself.

1062
00:53:14,320 --> 00:53:15,000
Okay.

1063
00:53:15,000 --> 00:53:17,160
In the shade for a little rest,

1064
00:53:17,920 --> 00:53:19,600
Stopping

1065
00:53:19,600 --> 00:53:22,600
oh oh.

1066
00:53:28,920 --> 00:53:30,000
We got it, though, Jack.

1067
00:53:30,000 --> 00:53:32,160
We're going to do it.

1068
00:53:32,160 --> 00:53:33,000
Keep going.

1069
00:53:33,000 --> 00:53:33,880
Nice and smooth.

1070
00:53:39,840 --> 00:53:41,200
How are you doing Jiggsy?

1071
00:53:41,200 --> 00:53:42,720
Good.

1072
00:53:42,720 --> 00:53:43,760
Hot isn’t it!

1073
00:53:43,760 --> 00:53:46,040
Not for a man from Mumbai.

1074
00:53:46,040 --> 00:53:48,040
Jiggs is incredible.

1075
00:53:48,160 --> 00:53:50,280
We’ve just got to keep it going
smoothly.

1076
00:53:50,280 --> 00:53:52,080
He's had a bit
of a problem with his shoe,

1077
00:53:53,120 --> 00:53:53,800
but we're nearly there.

1078
00:53:53,800 --> 00:53:56,280
Just a few more bends to go.

1079
00:53:57,480 --> 00:53:59,200
I knew we needed you Tom.

1080
00:53:59,200 --> 00:54:02,680
I hope I've only got
to do a bloody shoe.

1081
00:54:02,680 --> 00:54:04,760
The soles came off...the rubber sole.

1082
00:54:04,760 --> 00:54:07,560
I think it got melted in the heat.

1083
00:54:07,560 --> 00:54:10,560
It looks like it's
more than the Mumbai heat

1084
00:54:15,520 --> 00:54:17,960
Special Indian drama.

1085
00:54:17,960 --> 00:54:20,000
Mumbai drama.

1086
00:54:20,640 --> 00:54:22,920
A nice smooth roll

1087
00:54:22,920 --> 00:54:25,920
all the way to the top with
your new shoe!

1088
00:54:27,080 --> 00:54:29,040
Great Jiggs.

1089
00:54:29,040 --> 00:54:31,280
You’re on the final Alpe d’Huez bend.

1090
00:54:32,080 --> 00:54:35,080
Every time I have seen that,
you know, runners come together,

1091
00:54:35,080 --> 00:54:36,560
cyclists come together

1092
00:54:36,560 --> 00:54:39,280
there is a sense of belonging.

1093
00:54:39,520 --> 00:54:41,880
The camaraderie is
what keeps you going.

1094
00:54:41,880 --> 00:54:44,520
And everyone brings
different strengths.

1095
00:54:44,520 --> 00:54:45,000
And then,

1096
00:54:45,000 --> 00:54:48,480
you know, we all did this together
and this felt like a team, like,

1097
00:54:48,480 --> 00:54:52,360
I love that working together
to accomplish a goal.

1098
00:54:54,840 --> 00:54:56,160
When you get there,

1099
00:54:56,160 --> 00:54:59,280
don't think, oh, I'm old,
my life is over.

1100
00:54:59,840 --> 00:55:02,840
Think of, oh, I'm starting elderhood

1101
00:55:03,120 --> 00:55:07,680
a another few decades of life
in which I have all sorts

1102
00:55:07,680 --> 00:55:11,440
of opportunities I've never had
in the preceding decades.

1103
00:55:12,080 --> 00:55:17,440
What am I going to do with it
and be as ambitious and imaginative

1104
00:55:17,760 --> 00:55:19,080
as you can afford to be,

1105
00:55:19,080 --> 00:55:22,080
but don't let what's in here limit

1106
00:55:22,200 --> 00:55:25,200
what you can do
with the rest of your life.

1107
00:55:25,440 --> 00:55:28,440
We see this in so many people,

1108
00:55:28,720 --> 00:55:31,800
and really
the key thing is what's inside

1109
00:55:32,280 --> 00:55:34,240
so much as possible.

1110
00:55:40,840 --> 00:55:43,320
Woop! I can see the finish line.

1111
00:55:43,320 --> 00:55:46,040
Oh, that's a finish there.
Alpe d’Huez or bust!

1112
00:55:46,040 --> 00:55:50,160
Come on, Jiggs, come on, come on,
come on, keep going.

1113
00:55:50,160 --> 00:55:51,520
That is it?

1114
00:55:51,520 --> 00:55:53,520
Allez! Let’s go together.

1115
00:55:53,520 --> 00:55:56,200
First climbed back in 1952.

1116
00:55:56,200 --> 00:55:59,640
They never went back for another
24 years with the Tour de France.

1117
00:55:59,880 --> 00:56:01,160
Well done Jack!

1118
00:56:03,000 --> 00:56:03,720
Jiggs!

1119
00:56:03,720 --> 00:56:05,840
Well done!
That was mammoth.

1120
00:56:10,560 --> 00:56:13,920
I think I'll be glad to have
a good sleep over the weekend.

1121
00:56:14,080 --> 00:56:15,680
And not have to get up and ride
tomorrow.

1122
00:56:15,680 --> 00:56:18,040
Just take a little break.

1123
00:56:19,080 --> 00:56:22,320
So if Jack has done this,
I think anyone can get up tomorrow

1124
00:56:22,320 --> 00:56:25,480
and start doing some form
of physical exercise and keep going.

1125
00:56:26,120 --> 00:56:29,120
Anyone in the world
can dare to dream.

1126
00:56:29,520 --> 00:56:31,040
Reinforce your confidence

1127
00:56:31,040 --> 00:56:34,560
that you can do those things
or other things as well,

1128
00:56:34,880 --> 00:56:37,880
so that it isn't fear that stops
you from trying.

1129
00:56:38,120 --> 00:56:40,760
And if you can probably do it,
think of the other things

1130
00:56:40,760 --> 00:56:42,200
you can do as well.

1131
00:56:48,160 --> 00:56:51,160
Jack a man, a grim determination,
a fit man.

1132
00:56:51,240 --> 00:56:54,640
Jiggs, I think, with no experience
of riding a bike,

1133
00:56:54,760 --> 00:56:58,000
he epitomizes
why we all want to achieve.

1134
00:56:58,560 --> 00:57:02,800
The mountains are extreme, but
what an achievement when you do it.
