Why Worry About Thanksgiving
Why Worry About Thanksgiving
Dear Friend,
"as God is my witness, I thought turkeys could fly..." Les Nessman
Turkey Day here in the U.S. (OK, so it's called Thanksgiving on the calendars) is only a week away. That's why I got to thinking about the quote above. If you were around in the 70's, you should remember the episode of WKRP in Cincinnati that it came from... too funny.
So, with the holiday approaching, I'm sure you know people stressing out about how much they are going to eat - or overeat. And, although it's tough to avoid shoveling in some extra bird, stuffing, mashed potatoes and pumpkin pie, there are some things you can do so that the day doesn't ruin your health for the long term.
First of all, if you stress before, during and after Thanksgiving and feel guilty about what you're eating - stop. You will probably do more harm to your body and health from the stress and negative energy you create than from the food itself.
It's OK to overdo it (just not on a huge scale) but think positively about the food your taking in. Be thankful for your day of plenty and picture the food as the fuel that will give you energy to reach all your goals and dreams.
Second, there are things you can do before and after next Thursday to help minimize the impact of all those excess cals.
How about some high intensity exercise? Remember that this type of exercise can build muscle and kick up your metabolism - meaning you can eat a bit more without feeling quite so guilty. Not have to beat yourself up over having a piece of pie...
Plus, high intensity is the perfect way to burn off phat. Exercises like hill sprints burn mucho calories while you work out. A few reps up the hill can make the lard disappear faster than the recliner in front of the football game next Thursday.
A little bit of intensity on the hill can squeeze that gravy out of your arteries, melt the blubber off your midsection and make your body forget that you overindulged a bit.
Get on it now or start adding poundage that you may NEVER take off again.
(May all the turkeys dropped from helicopters be wild ones - who CAN fly.)

PS A few simple sprints from now til the end of the month are sufficient to get some results. But, if you want the advanced techniques that will help you transform your body before the end of this year, be sure to pick up your pre-holiday copy of Uphill Fitness Training here - http://www.makesyoufast.com/uphill_fitness_training.html
