Upper Table Rock and an Upper Body Workout

Once again, in an effort to put off doing a few chores, etc., I headed out to Upper Table Rock for a great hike. Later, I did a good strength building workout of weighted pullups, bench presses, chinups and ring pushups. I've still gotta get to those chores though :(


Hot, Hot, Hot!!!
Hot, spicy foods that contain curry, chilies, or other hot peppers help to trigger endorphins which are like a natural morphine that helps ease pain and provide a sense of well being. The next time you are feeling down or have some minor pain, try eating something spicy.

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.
