Upper Table Rock and a Couple of Walks

After training 2 clients this morning and going on a couple of 1/2 mile walks with one of them, I went on an awesome Upper Table Rock run which included running around the southern end of the plateau.

Whenever the seasons change, people start thinking about getting involved in the current seasonal sport to get fit. But, this is really backwards thinking and can lead to injury. You should be getting fit to play sports, not playing sports to get fit. Once you are fit, sports can help you stay that way, but you need to train your body ahead of time to prepare it for the unique stresses it will be put under.

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.
