Thanksgiving workouts?

I worked out last year on Thanksgiving and Christmas. I plan to do the same this year. I go to my parents for dinner on both days so I have plenty of time and no excuses...except for sheer laziness! The gym I just joined is actually open on Thanksgiving. I may go there to do something a bit different. CCPP sounds like a GREAT idea!

Local Turkey Day 10K

I love to run the local 10K - "Run to Feed the Hungry". Lotsa peeps show up for the 10K and 5K walk/run and it is a great annual fundraiser for the food bank! :D
 
YES!!!

I feel like I am officially "recharged" as far as my workouts go!!! They have taken a back seat over time, and I have gained weight and felt emotionally and physically worse for it. I maintained weight for quite awhile without doing anything too, so I know it's not just "now that I gained weight I'm doing something about it." What I mean is I just feel better physically and emotionally when I'm treating myself right!!

Anyways...I wanted to sign up for a turkey trot, because I LOVE to run, but the closest one around here is 30 miles away, and I'm just not going to have time. SO...I'm going to do at least my own "5K" that morning. I have missed heading out my front door and going so much, that it's time. I've been slowly back at it, mostly running on the treadmill. I did my first Itrain today (I was just starting off with what I felt I could do before), and this last Sunday I did Imax 2 (all the talk about Imax last Friday got me inspired), and let me just say that I still have DOMS in my calves on THURSDAY!!! YAY!! How I really missed Cathe. When I first started back on the treadmill, I was putting in a Cathe DVD and watching it for inspiration while I ran, and man, does it ever work! Next up, besides my own t-day run, is a Cathe weight DVD. OMG, I'm scared of those DOMS already!

My family (DH & twin DD15s) fasts for 36 hours (Tue. pm - Thu. am) before Thanksgiving, so I don't know if I'll have the energy to work out, but I've been thinking about it -- maybe a quick Cardio Coach after breakfast and before we leave for my parents'.
 
Jane,

I love that workout. I did it for the first time last weekend. As I was reading these posts about T'giving workout, this one popped into my head. Enjoy it and I'll be thinking of you while I'm doing it on Thanksgiving!
 
I always try to get in 90 minutes of cardio on holidays to make up for the extra calories I might eat...I don't go overboard, but I confess my weakness for pumpkin pie :)
Thinking an oldie but a goodie - MIC with 4DS Bootcamp minus the workout tacked onto the end....
