TOPFIT Daily Activities --- YEAR END TRIBUTE TO 2013
Another annual tradition is in the books!
Today I did my patented TOPFIT ~Year End Tribute to 2013~ workout.
Except for the squat thrusts which were done at the end, all exercises were done for 100 reps (not necessarily non-stop or in the following order) before moving on to another exercise. When all was said and done, I did:

KB swings x 300
suspension trainer pullups x 300
pushups x 300
squats x 300
SB leg curls x 200
SB tucks x 200
SB back extensions x 200
SB crunches x 200
squat thrusts x 13

TOTAL = 2013 reps!

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.
