Gold's Gym To Cook Up A Full Plate Of Post-thanksgiving Workouts

Nov. 22, 2010 - PRLog -- Mashed potatoes? Turkey? Stuffing? Green Bean Casserole? We got a workout for that.

Thanksgiving is almost here and that means it’s time to enjoy the traditional turkey day feast - all 3,000 calories of it, according to leading nutritional experts. This holiday season, Gold’s Gym Middletown and Shape.com are encouraging all Americans to enjoy every last bite, and then indulge in a full plate of exclusive workouts designed to burn every last calorie.

The two leading health and fitness organizations have teamed up for the “Trim the Fat Friday” campaign, aimed at helping consumers battle the holiday bulge. Consumers can visit www.goldsgym..com/middletownny to download workouts designed by celebrity trainers that help them burn off each item on their plate and tone up different areas of their body.

In addition, www.shape.com will be hosting “express” videos of these workouts on their site. The “Trim The Fat” menu includes:

THE TURKEY WORKOUT - Get your chest and wings—ahem, shoulders—in shape.

MASHED POTATOES WORKOUT - Keep your rear from looking like mashed potatoes by working your glutes and upper legs.

CRANBERRY JELLY WORKOUT - Fight off cranberry jelly belly with extra abdominal exercises.

STUFFING WORKOUT - Don’t let stuffing come “back” to haunt you. Work out your upper and lower back with this workout.

GREEN BEAN CASSEROLE WORKOUT - Prepare to scoop up a nice serving of casserole by getting in a tough arm workout.

SLICE OF PUMPKIN PIE WORKOUT - Get cut like pie with these all-over body moves.

As an added bonus, Gold’s Gym Middletown is opening its doors to the public for free workouts on “Black Friday,” November 26th – transforming the holiday into “Trim the Fat Friday.”

"After Thanksgiving, everyone feels like they need to hit the gym to work off some of the calories they consumed, but they may not always know how or have access to a gym," said Bob Roche, Gold’s Gym Middletown.. "With Trim the Fat Friday, Gold’s Gym and Shape.com are allowing consumers to enjoy their Thanksgiving meals by providing them with the opportunity to work a little harder the next day and battle the bulge that comes with holiday eating."

Consumers are welcome to show up at Gold’s Gym Middletown on Friday, November 26th to take advantage of their free “Trim the Fat Friday”  workout.
