I'd say there's no better way to show thanks for your health and fitness than with a little exercise!
I'm going to share a great Thanksgiving exercise circuit with you that will help you burn off some of your Thanksgiving Turkey.
Here's my challenge to you....get your whole family (immediate and extended) involved. Set up this circuit like an obstacle in your back yard and see if you can get others to participate. Start learning how to show love to others not only through food, but through fitness too. Show your family how much you care about their lives by helping them become stronger and healthier. It's a hard transition to make, but this is a great time to start!
Thanksgiving Workout
11/22
Set up 11 Stations around the yard. At each station, you will perform 22 repetitions of each designated exercise. You can follow what I have listed or you can come up with exercises that will be more suitable for you and your family's fitness level. This is the type of circuit where you can go at your own pace, so make it a friendly competition to see who can finish first. For those of you who are more fit....go through the circuit again until the last family member is finished.
Of course you can do this workout by yourself if no one else wants to participate. :)
