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!

I was just wondering. Is it more effective to work out in the morning or in the evening. I heard that it is more effective in the morning, but my bus comes super early, like six-thirty, so I don't know if I can do it in the morning.




Hey girlie,

People have done studies on this and there are a lot of conflicting opinions, but there is one that everyone agrees on: workouts are more effective when they are done ON YOUR SCHEDULE. Do it when you are most excited about working out! If it fits best after school, no prob. That's good because, that way, you'll enjoy the workout, put more effort into it, and have a more effective session. <3

I seriously need to lost twenty pounds. How long would that take? Also, can you give me some workouts to get abs, a better butt, and better legs? I know this sounds impossible but I really need to do this! Thanks.




Hey girl! 

I can't tell you how long it will take you to lose twenty pounds - that depends on genetics and how long you'll stick to your plan for! Here are some workouts for abs, butt, and legs: http://www.girlslife.com/post/2011/02/24/4-moves-for-way-flat-abs.aspx http://www.girlslife.com/post/2011/01/26/boot-camp-inspired-workout.aspx  http://www.girlslife.com/post/2011/05/09/3-at-home-exercises-for-totally-toned-legs.aspx
