Active Recovery

After a week when both the volume and intensity of exercise was fairly high, today needed to be a day of active recovery. So, Clista and I explored the trails above Jacksonville for about an hour and a half. No running, just a steady hike.
It's actually quite sad that many of the people I know were planning a day of sitting around eating garbage and drinking beer while watching and deifying a bunch of overpaid, steroidal meatheads instead of doing something to improve their health and fitness.

About Your Trainer

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.
