Pushups and Lower Table Rock

I never should have told my client how many pushups I had done yesterday and last Friday. He likes to see me hurt too, so he challenged me to another pushup twofer.....he did 45 (damn him) and much to my surprise, I managed to get 90….I even did 96 with a complete and total collapse half way up on 97.

And, I wasn’t gonna do it…..I was gonna take a break after the killer workouts I had been doing…..but the weather was just too perfect and the Table Rock Sirens were singing their sweet, sweet song and calling my name again…..so I succumbed to their wishes and ran Lower Table Rock this morning. Surprisingly, it felt pretty good and I made great time considering the past few days’ workouts.

I finished my day with a couple of brisk walks with a client.

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.
