With Thanksgiving day tomorrow many gyms will be closed and it will be hard to workout. According to nydaileynews.com the average American will consume 3,500 calories in a Thanksgiving meal (http://www.nydailynews.com/lifestyle/2010/11/23/2010-11-23_an_average_thanksgiving_meal_comes_out_to_staggering_solid_3500_calories_health_.html). Without a workout and with a large consumption of calories this holiday can set back your fitness goals for the week. Below we have listed some things that everyone can do during Thanksgiving at will give us a great calorie burn to help offset those big calories.
1. Have a good laugh with you family (1.3 calories per minute of laughing)
2. Play touch football (471 calories for an hour)
3. Cleaning the house (204 calories per hour)
4. Baking or food prep(136 calories per hour)
5. Take a post meal walk (204 calories per hour)
6. Standing instead of sitting to watch football ( 100 more calories per hour for standing)
Enjoy the holiday but there are many things that can get us active for the day. Try to keep your goals even through the holidays.
