Sixth Annual "Turkey Burn Off" --November 29 at Simi YMCA

SIMI VALLEY, Calif. - Nov. 6, 2013 - PRLog -- Simi Valley, Calif.—An average adult will eat 3,000 calories in one Thanksgiving meal according to the American Council on Exercise. Add in before-meal snacks and drinks (especially alcoholic beverages) and one could easily consume over 4,000 calories on Thanksgiving. To help Simi Valley residents rid themselves of the extra calories, the Simi Valley Family YMCA is hosting its sixth annual “Turkey Burn Off,” Thursday, November 29.

Participants can take part in a series of 30-minute, group exercise classes from 8:00 a.m. to 11:30 a.m. with new classes starting every half hour. The classes include indoor cycling, PiYo (a blend of Pilates and yoga), muscle conditioning, aerobics and ab/core exercises. The classes are designed for all fitness levels and are free to the public.

“Some people see the day after Thanksgiving as a time to shop. Each year, several hundred people use the day after Thanksgiving to come to the Y and burn off all the extra calories they consumed the day before,” says Mitch McManus, healthy living and sports director at the Simi Y. “It’s a healthy start to the holiday season. Participants can take one class or all of the classes offered.”
