I know most people don’t want to spend their Thanksgiving doing any sort of workout, but here’s a head start before you eat all the yumminess (I know I’ll be stuffing my face!). It’s a simple workout to follow with basic moves, but it will get your heart rate up and make you stronger!
Burpees 10x
- place hands on floor, squat down, jump feet back into plank position, jump feet back in and jump up
Push-ups 10x
- can be done on feet or knees, just make sure to keep a straight line in your back and keep your abs tight
Squats 20x
- make sure to keep the weight in your heels and knees behind toes
Lunges 20x
- make sure to keep knees in line with ankles, and for more of a challenge you can do split lunges by jumping to switch legs
Plank 60 seconds
- can be held on either hands (like in push-up position) or on forearms
Do 5 rounds and time yourself so you can beat your time next workout!
Good luck and have fun eating all that amazing food!
