Circuits

The workout that I had one of my clients do today really seemed to kick his butt. So, when I got home I felt compelled to try it myself...of course, with adjustments and modifications made according to my abilities and/or available equipment. I gotta hand it to RM for surviving the ordeal because it kinda kicked my butt too! It started with DB thrusters (squat/shoulder press combo) 5 x 15, followed by supersets of lat pulldowns 5 x 15 and pushups 5 x 20 (I did chinups and ring pushups), followed by circuits of crunches 5 x 20, SB leg curls 5 x 15, calf raises 5 x 15 and 3 laps of stairs--13 steps each lap (I did 1 min jump rope since I don't have stairs).

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.
