Portion Distortion

Portion Distortion
To see if you know how today's portions compare to the portions available 20 years ago, quiz yourself on Portion Distortion I (2003) and Portion Distortion II (2004). You will also learn about the amount of physical activity required to burn off the extra calories provided by today's portions.  take the quizzes

TOPFIT says: Although the quizzes are 10 years old, the points they make are still valid....and things are probably even worse today.


TOPFIT Daily Activities --- Tabatas and Heavy Bag
I took a break from the trails again today, but that doesn't mean I was sedentary.  I started with a workout of Tabata style chinups, pushups, SB oblique crunches and squats, and followed that a little later with a 30 minute heavy bag workout.

About Your Trainer

Medford, OR, United States
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.
