After all the activity yesterday, I decided today should be a lower activity day. So, I started with an hour long moderate/high intensity bike ride (the high intensity part was about 15 mins of hill climbing) and after that I did a quick 1/2 hour chest workout consisting of moderate and heavy bench presses and supersets of DB flyes and decline pushups. I don't often do "body part" workouts or isolation exercises, but this just seemed to fit the bill today.
TOPFIT TIP -- Spot reduction does not work, and doing hundreds of crunches will not make you lose the fat covering your abs. Think about it --- if exercising a bodypart got rid of the fat in that area, then everyone you know that talks a lot would have a skinny little face.

- Hi! I'm Patrick Frey, your in-home, online and on-the-trail Personal Trainer, Fitness Educator, and Strength & Conditioning Specialist. With over 35 years of fitness experience, and certifications from the National Strength and Conditioning Association, the International Sports Sciences Association, and the American Council on Exercise, I have the knowledge and experience you need to reach your health and fitness goals. My interests over the years have included running, bicycling, cross-country skiing, hiking, backpacking, bodybuilding, powerlifting, olympic lifting, volleyball, and general health, fitness and nutrition. I've trained hundreds of people of all ages and abilities from elite athletes to sedentary couch potatoes, in everything from well equipped gyms to un-equipped homes, online, in the park and on the trails. To me, there's nothing more exciting than helping people improve their health, look better, feel better, or improve their sports performance.
