Between now and the new year there will be parties, shopping, drinks and FOOD. Oh...the FOOD!
Many magazines and trainers will be ready to show you the 'top 30 ways' to avoid overeating on Thanksgiving. What!? I'm all about eating on special holidays. After all, I only eat sweet potatoes with marshmallows once per year, why would I want to skip it?
What I do advise is increasing your activity around the holidays. An extra workout or two per week, a little longer, work a little harder... I certainly don't skip a dish on Thanksgiving nor do I skip a Christmas cookie but you may find me in the gym a little bit more.
Tomorrow morning before the big feast my boot campers will get some insight on how many calories are in some of the dishes they may be serving and just how hard it can be to burn it off. If they weren't motivated to work harder before the meal, I hope they will be motivated to do some extra work in the week following.
Below you'll find approximate calories in these dishes and about how many calories you will burn off doing the exercise it's paired with.
The menu totals 1787 calories. If you get through the workout 2x you'll burn about 350 calories on average. You can see, it will take some extra work to make up for your splurges so be sure to work hard!
