The holidays are notorious for high calorie, delicious food and drink, and it just wouldn’t be the holidays without some indulgences here and there! That’s why on Thanksgiving I forced myself to get up and work out, so that I could indulge guilt-free…and let me tell you, the workout I did at my favorite gym (more of a “boot camp” kind of setting) was no joke! The trainers knew we would probably be overindulging so they put us through an hour of high intensity misery! I walked away not only wanting to cry, but also thinking that a modified version would be an ideal way to burn off the calories from all of that stuffing, enchiladas, pie, and, my favorite, Christmas cookies! The bonus to this version: Not much equipment is necessary, and you can do it pretty much anywhere with some space and weights!

Also, don’t forget the fitness challenge!
