Feel the turkey burn!


 

Check these out, too...

Let’s face it: Thanksgiving is a holiday centered around food—delicious, mouth-watering, carb- and fat-loaded food. And for a holiday that comes around just once a year, that’s A-OK! But loading up on your favorite dishes at the dinner table can make ya feel sluggish if your body isn’t able to burn those babies off. Do yourself a favor and sneak in an A.M. workout sesh so you can feel fab morning, noon and night.


It’s all about the intervals!

Studies show that intervals are the best way to get your blood pumping—and calories burning—effectively. Pick your favorite exercise (we love kickboxing, biking and jumping rope) and vary the intensity. Get the 411 on interval training here.


Grab the fam

Got cousins in town? Pull them off the couch and get moving. Strap on rollerblades, play some one-on-one or grab the old pigskin and score yourself a touchdown. Turning exercise into a game will get your mind off of the dreaded notion of working out—who cares about burning calories when bragging rights are at stake?!


Don’t go overboard

Come feast time, feel free to eat what you want sans guilt. How often do you get to indulge in three kinds of pies or mashed potatoes and mac ‘n’ cheese? Do keep your serving sizes under control, and when you feel full, do yourself a favor and stop eating. You’ll avoid that bloated-‘til-eternity sensation—phew!

Okay, I have two questions. 1. When you do cardio (I usually dance for cardio), does it help you lose stomach fat or just help your legs? 2. I think I'm doing my workouts at a bad time. I do them at night, an hour or so behind when I go to bed. It seems like the only time I remember to do it and that seems like the only time I actually have time to do it. Should I be doing my workouts earlier? If so, how do I make sure I do it earlier?

Hey girl,

Cardio is great for keeping you healthy, but the specific areas you're working depends on the type of dance you're doing. But exercise is exercise, so if night is what works for you, there's nothing wrong with that! If you want to start exercising in the mornings or afternoons, why not find a friend to be your workout buddy? You'll motivate each other to exercise, and it will be way more fun than working out alone!

Okay, first of all, whenever Lynea P. answers a Mod, it doesn't post the answer, so she might want to check that, and second, I need help. I really want to be a cheerleader next year (I'm gonna b in ninth grade), but I'll be a flyer because I weigh 75lbs. I was wondering if you have any ideas about what I could do to get better at stunts and stuff though because other than being a flyer and the top of a pyramid, i know nothing about cheer leading. Thanks!

ok can someone answer my question? Don't mean to sound rude but I'm desperate.Help! I am 16 almost 17. I have about 5-6 pounds I want to lose. I really like one that would tone my stomahe and thighs. I have a small muffin top but alot of stomachs fat. I really don't like to run or jog and I dont have a bike. Can you suggest a workout for me so I can stun people in my new bikini when I go to Florida for MLK day? Thanks Smile




Hey babe!
