Rest Day?

Rest day? Well, almost. In the morning I walked the Beast twice and ran approx 1/4 mile 3 times with my client. Then it was off to the Harvest Fair and Microbrew Fest. There was a lot of walking involved and a little dancing, but fear not, I made up for it by eating a little junk and sampling several microbrews......good times!

TOPFIT TIP -- Fat Loss and Low Intensity Cardio -- Don't buy in to the myth that by doing low intensity cardio you’ll burn more fat than doing high intensity cardio -- sounds like an excuse to be lazy to me. Whereas it is true that the percentage of calories coming from fat is higher, total calories burned will be lower….and for fat loss, isn’t it all about burning more calories?

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.
