Posted by nickr on November 15, 2017

With Thanksgiving right around the corner 11/23, I figured we could all use a little pre-(meal) workout…stayed turned for the Turkey buster blog on how to work off all that delicious food.

Follow this awesome workout for the next few days in preparation for an amazing Thanksgiving dinner without feeling guilty!

Turkey Twister (Russian Twists)

On your Butt, knees bent 90* feet off the floor, twist your upper body side to side and tap the floor with your fingers, nice and controlled, 23 reps – use a soup can or hand weight for added difficulty.

Turkey trotter (Elbow to knees standing)

Standing on two feet, bring one knee up as your opposite elbow crosses the body and meets with your knee in front of your chest. Switch back and forth 23 reps – you should have enough speed to look like a turkey trotting!

Turkey Stuffin’ (Elbow to straight plank)

Back down on the ground, Starting in an elbow plank you are going to push up onto your hands and then back down to your elbows. 23 reps.

Feather fluffer (Jump squats)

Get low into a proper squat, watch that your knees don’t pass your toes, and your chest is up, turkey feathers pushed back like you are going to sit down. Squat and then jump straight up and land back into your squat. 23 reps.


Feel free to repeat a few times 🙂 Gobble Gobble, y’all!
