Best Workout for Thanksgiving

Looking for a big burn before the big day? GOT YOU COVERED! 

Turkey Trot's are a lot of fun and I do not discourage them in the slightest however if we're looking for the most effective burn for our buck, I'd steer clear from cardio and recommend strength training or even a MetCon for metabolism management. These workouts are proven to boost the calorie burn without the taxing impact on the joints and help build muscle (muscle contributes to our base metabolism- running and cardio contributes to heart health). 

Below is a 30 minute MetCon (short for metabolic conditioning). Now, if you’re not fully aware of how these work, we want to implement these higher intensity workouts 1-2x week. What am I trying to hint at here? DON’T DO THIS EVERY DAY (please!). That’s not their purpose. Doing this workout the day before or the morning of Thanksgiving is a SMART strategy to help buffer the butter and indulgence BUT it’s taxing on the joints if done out of proportion (just like the food on Thanksgiving!). Moderation is key! 

The Pro’s of MetCon’S

MetCons are coveted for their “AfterBurn” effect meaning they have the potential to burn up to 3-4X more calories 48hrs after the workout. This is because they are intense and require your max effort. Give this your all before the big day!
