TOPFIT Daily Activities --- Calisthenic Circuits, Heavy Bag and an Upper Table Rock Run
After a fun and active morning with Hailey, in addition to some indoor and outdoor chores I also made time for a circuit workout of squats, pullups, pushups, SB leg curls and SB crunches.  Later I spent 30 mins on the heavy bag.  And in the evening I still had some pent up energy, so I did a fun Upper Table Rock run to end the weekend in style!

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.
