Are you feeling like a stuffed turkey? Did you eat too much? Are your ankles swollen? Do you feel sick? If you answered yes to any of these questions, then it’s time for you to do some post-turkey day training!

Post Turkey Day Workout

Cardio: 10 min of light cardio (i.e. treadmill, stroll in the park, or jumping jacks)

2 sets of push ups (10 to 15 reps)

2 sets of standing squats (10 to 15 reps) Make these non-weight bearing to keep your heartrate up and legs loose.

Using a chair or bench, 2 sets of tricep dips (10 to 15 reps) and alternate with jumping jacks (30 seconds) or standing lunges (10 per leg) in between sets.

2 sets of this ab cycle: 10 crunches, 10 bicycles, 10 right and 10 left side abdominal crunches.

Finish with 10 more minutes of cardio.

5 minutes of stretch with lots of water to flush those turkey toxins out of your body!

As summer comes to an end and the chill air of fall approaches- a sense of change occurs in us all. It’s a time we adjust our schedules to accommodate the life that’s changing around us. Even the foods we tend to eat will vary from the foods we eat in the summer months. This is all part of the ever changing world and phenomena of life.

An essential change that always needs to be addressed is the workout you put your body through. Muscle confusion is the best way to challenge your body and strive for better muscular results. When workouts are varied, the body responds better to the workouts and therefore- you will feel the difference in all your efforts!
