If you are like me, you probably enjoyed some good company and food over the weekend while celebrating Thanksgiving, and with that comes a bit of extra “stuffing” that isn’t really of concern, but may need a little kick of exercise to work off.

I have devised the following workout plan, which I will be doing this week, to help trim some of the extra calories I devoured over the holiday. Maybe you will feel the motivation to get back on the exercise wagon with me and give this little workout a go!

Monday- Spin class at the gym! The only way to get fat to budge is by introducing intervals, where you keep the body guessing about what is coming next. Spin class is a really great cardio workout that incorporates intervals that you can regulate and intensify yourself.

Tuesday- Yoga and weight routine. Yoga helps to elongate the body and adding in a weight routine is more effective in helping your body burn calories, even when you are at rest.

Wednesday- Run. There really isn’t anything better than a run to feel like you are burning right through those excess calories. I would shoot for 45 minutes if you can, to really see results in the first week.

Thursday- Spin. Here we go again!

Friday- Weights. Usually it is hard to squeeze in a workout at the end of a busy week, but if you can just spend 20- 30 minutes doing your weight routine, it will really pay off.

Saturday- Go for a run outside. Again, try to run for 45 minutes, and if you can manage it, an hour is even better. Run outside- enjoy the fresh air and scenery and you won’t even realize how long you have been running.

Sunday- This should either be your rest day or if you want to do something, go to a light yoga class (not a strength building one) and concentrate on the stretching a balancing aspects of the class.
