The Fittest Flame didn't get that way by letting complacency creep into his off-season training.

He earned that title thanks to years of hard work and by discovering new ways to fine-tune his now 30-year-old chassis.

After switching things up and working out with a new trainer for the first time in "forever," Michael Frolik is entering his fourth year as a Flame on the heels of one of his most productive summers yet.

"I always used to go to Montreal to work out about a month before camp starts," said Frolik, who unseated perennial Fittest Flame Mark Giordano at training camp last season. "Did it for years.

"But with my birth of my second daughter back in April, I spent a lot more time - about two months - in Florida before heading home for the summer.

"I didn't want to get home and turn right back after only a few weeks with my family, so I looked around and found a guy by the name of Marian Voda.

"It was a great experience."
