Fitness Before The Feast: 35-Minute Pre-Turkey Tone Up Workout!

The big day is here to indulge in an even bigger bird! That’s right, it’s everyone’s favorite food-centric holiday, Thanksgiving! At Mend Well, we love to promote balance, which means we are all about enjoying a tasty turkey dinner, complete with all the fixings (including a sliver or two of our favorite pies). However, we also believe that a lovely thanksgiving meal is even more delectable when we’ve snuck in some quality activity and exercise prior to digging in. 

Since planning a workout around a full day of family, food prep, and fun can be a bit of a challenge, we’re bringing you an easy outdoor workout that you can do anywhere and without any fancy equipment. Plus, this workout is nice and quick so you’ll be able to get in your pre-turkey burn before you start whipping up the family feast! If you give this turkey tone up a go, go ahead and give us a shout out on the socials, we love to see your sweat sesh motivation!
