Fitness Tips for Burning Calories after Thanksgiving


Everyone I've talked to this week is looking for fitness tips for burning calories after Thanksgiving.

If your household is anything like mine, it's easy enough to plop yourself down in front of the tv, turn on your favorite football team, and eat plate after plate of holiday leftovers.

But, we both know that won't help your weight loss or fat loss goals in the long run.

To help you make it through the rest of this holiday season, the Top Personal Trainers blog is including 3 Holiday Fitness Tips for Burning Calories after Thanksgiving.

Tip #1 - Eat Something Healthy First

Leftovers are unavoidable, but they're usually packed with sugar (carbohydrates) and fat. To make sure that you don't overload on these workout sabotaging calories, be sure to get your fill of fruits and vegetables first.

Tip #2 - Keep Burning Calories

With the draw of the television, family visits, and shopping, it can be easy to forget about making it to the gym. If you live in the colder climates and are about to get some snow, use shoveling as family workout time; just be sure to warm-up first. For those of you enjoying warmer weather, plan a pre-meal or pre-game walk to burn off some calories and get the heart rate up. And, if you are heading to the malls, try parking as far away as you can. A little extra walking can help fight off some unwanted inches.

Tip #3 - Try a New Workout Routine

Most people that I meet in the gym have been following the same routine for 6 months or more. I keep hearing the same thing from them, "It used to work, but I'm not getting results from my program anymore." If you are feeling the time crunch of the holidays or are just bored with your fitness programs, seek the help of a reputable fitness professional or personal trainer. You'll be amazed by how you feel and how your body will look after just a few half-hour sessions.

You Can Do It!

Keep these 3 Fitness Tips in mind for the rest of the year, and both you and your waistline will be a little bit happier!

Dedicated to a Happier and Healthier You!

Thanks Denis! I think I'll use up the MiO I have since it helps with getting off the soda. Then try some of suggestions in the Freshen Up article. I love mint, but never thought about putting it in my water.
