The holidays are here. Thanksgiving is just a few days away and before we know it, Christmas will be here too.  But don’t let Thanksgiving derail your workout plan!

The kids are out of school this week (mostly), there’s shopping to be done, and fellowship with friends and family. Let’s face it, there’s just not much time to workout.  However, limited time doesn’t mean we should stop working out all together. Let’s revise those workouts and keep them quick, efficient, and simple.  Below are five Thanksgiving workouts you can do from home!

Do you have someone to hold you Accountable?

These workouts are great and they absolutely work…If you do them!

There’s no shortage of free workouts out there.  In fact, there’s more free info available now than there has ever been in the past.  Yet, our country continues to get less and less healthy.  Why?

It’s not a lack of information we’re suffering from- it’s a lack of ACTION.  And action takes accountability.  If you want someone who is going to hold you accountable, make sure you stay safe, and guide you along the way, book a Discovery Call so we can sit down for a 20 minute conversation and see if we can help!
