For better or worse, Thanksgiving has become a day to overeat with loved ones. A huge Thanksgiving meal can make you feel sluggish, demotivating you for a workout at the end of the day. This Turkey Day, try this at-home Thanksgiving workout as soon as you wake up—and burn hundreds of calories before you start packing them back on.

Get Moving
Start with a 5- to 7-minute dynamic warm-up. Move from one exercise to the next without stopping to get the full aerobic benefit.

-Step Twists (Step forward and twist toward your front leg)  1×5 each direction
-Jumping Jacks   1×60 sec.
-Alternating Lunges (Hold lunge to stretch hip flexors)  1×10 each leg
-Mountain Climbers  1×60 sec.
-Carioca  3×3 steps in each direction

Thanksgiving Workout
Perform all exercises in a circuit fashion. Complete both sets of Circuit One before proceeding to Circuit 2. Superset exercises listed in pairs.
