Can you believe the average Thanksgiving meal is 3,000 calories? Although this seems crazy, with this delicious holiday only coming around once a year, it seems okay to indulge a little (or lot!), right? Here is a great little Thanksgiving Turkey Day workout which you can do from anywhere whether it be at home, your in-laws, a hotel or friends house fitting in this workout will definitely help you feel better about eating that extra piece of pumpkin pie.
This workout only takes about 20 minutes and you will burn a ton of calories to help you feel light on your feet all day…and also a little more engerized to wake up bright & early for Black Friday shopping!
