Happy Workout Wednesday!

ACE, or American Council on Exercise, has declared today Workout Wednesday. In an attempt to get people moving before the big day of eating, they encourage us all to get out and burn some calories! In the article they remind us that an average Thanksgiving meal is 3,000 calories!!! Yowza! Don't over-think it, just get out and get moving! Every calorie burned helps.

Just in case you need a little direction, below is a "Thanksgiving Burn" interval workout you can try. Keep moving and the intensity high! Interval training is a great way to burn more calories in less time. Also, I picked exercises that I think most people are familiar with, and they don't take anything but you and a chair (you want a hard chair like one from the kitchen table)! Put on some good tunes and get to work!

**Please note that this workout is for those without injury and who are in good-standing health. 

THANKSGIVING BURN
1 minute each exercise, do each round twice. Give yourself a 30 second break in between rounds to recover (try and move from exercise to exercise with little to no break).
**With a 3 minute warm-up and cool down, this should take approximately 30 minutes**
