5 Workouts To Do With Your Family Instead of a Turkey Trot
November 16, 2022 | Words by Liz Francis
Don’t get us wrong, we have nothing against putting on matching turkey hats and doing a 5K on Thanksgiving morning. However, we also know that running isn’t for everyone (especially when the whole fam is in town). Here are five simple and effective partner workouts for you and your family to get after this year with little to no equipment!
Who says you can’t do burpees in matching turkey hats, too?! If you convince your family or friends to get after one of these workouts, make sure to let us know!
