Text Box: Fit Tips for turkey day...   Here's a few tips to keep your sanity during the holiday feast... 1. Focus on the fellowship with family & friends rather than the food. 2. Use a smaller plate and indulge in your favorite foods but in small quantities. 3. Keep a glass of water in your hand so you can have something to put to your mouth besides pie. 4. Skip the butter on the roll. 5. Skip the gravy on the mashed potatoes. 6. Save your dessert for a couple of hours after consuming your meal - and have a glass of milk with it. 7. Eat slowly and savor every bite...pay attention to the texture, smell, taste. 8. Choose the white meat on the turkey and be sure to have vegetables with it. 9. Don't show up to the feast starving...make sure you eat a good healthy snack/meal within an hour or two before hand. 10. Try to get a workout in - even if you're traveling...bring an exercise tube, band or a jump rope...or hit the local gym if you have a membership. Let me know how these tips worked for you...and have a wonderful Thanksgiving Holiday!

Exercises you can do almost anywhere...Including while traveling on your holiday...

1.  Chair Squats:

Stand in front of a chair - start off sitting down and standing up about 10 times at a brisk pace to get the legs ready for work. 

Next - squat down and hover over the chair.  Hold the position for several seconds and stand up squeezing the glutes and quads (butt and legs for those who don't know).  Repeat this several times.

Next - squat down and hover - and then add a pulse...tapping the glutes on the chair...oh yeah...you'll feel the burn!  Do this several times.

2.  Jump Rope:

Jump ropes are inexpensive, lightweight and portable...and if you jump vigorously for 10 minutes - you'll burn as much calories as you would if you were running on the treadmill for 20 minutes.  It is truly one of my favorite forms of cardio - not only does it get your heart rate up, but you can work on speed and agility with fast feet, it can help develop those calves, and your upper body is engaged as well with turning the rope.  Sometimes I swear I can literally feel the pounds melting away as I'm jumping...I love it!  Be sure to bring one along if you're traveling and try different positions with your feet to make it challenging and fun!

3.  Push Ups:

If you're a beginner - try doing them standing up with your hands on a wall or you can try doing them on your knees (the modified position).  More advanced persons can do them with the toes on the ground or with the feet elevated.  There are tons of ways to make the simple exercise of a push up more challenging...get creative and have fun with it!  It's a great upper body workout...you'll feel the chest, shoulders and triceps!
