TOPFIT Daily Activities --- Lower Table Rock Hike
Today I got out for a few hours with a friend for a Lower Table Rock hike.  We had a great time exploring the western rim of the main plateau.

This crevice was ~15 ft deep, ~40 ft long, and the pic really doesn't do it justice.
It was very peaceful down in the bottom and there was a spring gurgling at the top of the far end.

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.
