Happy Thanksgiving!!!

It's Thanksgiving. A time to eat, enjoy your family (or in the very least try), and be merry.  Don't let it throw you off track with your wellness goals though! If you have a workout planned for that day DO IT! You'll feel better if you decide to earn your Thanksgiving feast rather than to laze about all all day and stuff your face full of goodies.  Below are some circuits I did with my lifting class this week.

These first two require minimal, if any, equipment.
Circuit 1:
10 Burpees
15 Air Squats
12 Pushups
30 Jumping Jacks

Circuit 2:
30 second Squat hold or wall squat
12 Pushups
12 Air Jacks
30 second spider plank
15 Step Ups (each side)

These require at least some dumbbells.  Ideally a barbell and dumbbells.
Circuit 3: (All reps 12-15)
Goblet Squats
Push - Up
Glute Bridge
Push Press

Circuit 4: (All reps 12-15)
Reverse Lunge
Bent Over Row
RDL
Biceps Curl

If you are not into circuit training and simply want to do straight sets and it's leg day:

Goblet Squats - 3 x 12-15
Walking Lunges - 2 x 15
One Leg Dead Lift - 3 x 12-15
Sliding Leg Curl* - 3 x 12
Calf Raises - 3 x 20

*Sliding leg curls can be done with either floor sliders or light plates, or a TRX band.

Happy Holidays!
