It is really hard to keep your weight in check with holidays like thanksgiving where there is a lot of food, a lot of fatty food for that matter. And then there is the long distance traveling to spend it with family, which can be very stressful and can lead to stress eating. You have to cut down on your workout time cause there is just not enough space for it during the holiday. You can’t avoid it but you can reverse the effects with some intense workout. You’ll have to workout at least five times a week, do more reps and sets but it can be done.
Prisoner’s Bulgarian split squat.
To do the prisoner’s Bulgarian split squat, get in a lunge position an place your rear foot on a bench behind you with your toes pushing into the bench. Lace your fingers behind your head as if you are a surrendering prisoner. Keeping your chest up, squat down until your back knee is nearly on the floor. Drive through the heel of your front foot to return to your original position. Repeat 8 to 15 times.
Renegade row.
To do the renegade row, get into a push up position with a dumbbell in each hand with your palms facing each other. Perform a push up then shift your weight and row one dumbbell to your side at the top of the push up. Repeat it 8 to 15 times.
Burpee.
To do the burpee, squat down and plant your hands on the floor, shoot your legs back into a push up position then hop your feet back up to your hands and jump as high as you can with your arms extended. Repeat this 8 to 15 times as well.
Single-leg RDL.
To do the single leg rdl, grasp a dumbbell in your right hand and hold it in front of your body. Push your hips back and raise your right leg behind you as you reach the dumbbell towards your left foot. Keep your lower back in it’s natural arch then extend your hips to get back to your original position. Repeat 8 to 15 times.
