Don't Sweat Your Turkey Dinner, REALLY.

Everything in the media right now is "how to work off your turkey dinner", "how to burn pumpkin pie seconds", and to us not only does it does develop unhealthy habits, it is definitely not fun. So instead of trying to get in a million classes, runs, and who knows what else in order to cancel out your Thanksgiving meal, we suggest you enjoy every bite and remember that the next amazing holiday meal is just a soiree away so there is no need to have it all that ONE day.

The best thing you can do for yourself starting this week through New Year's is keep a workout

schedule despite the hefty social calendar. You will be able to take out your built up holiday stresses in class, and have your endorphins come out and play decreasing your cravings for unhealthy food habits. Don't waste time on guilt this season just be grateful for great food & company and keep dancing!
