In today’s Wellness Minute Dr Fitness and the Fat Guy share some ways to burn some Thanksgiving Day calories. Start the morning off speed cleaning your home. Cleaning your house at a fast pace with holiday music blaring is a great way to burn lots of calories and get a clean home. Volunteer to feed the homeless. Putting food on plates doesn’t seem like it burns a lot of calories but feeding the homeless requires a lot more than that. Someone has to lift the boxes of food and move them to the tables – it might as well be you. Run a charity road race before the big meal. And if all else fails play a big family football game after you eat. Listen right now to hear Dr Fitness’ tips.
