Easy Post Thanksgiving Fat Burner

Thanksgiving just passed and with it the many dishes of delicious and decadent foods. It is common knowledge that the holidays are known to be a time of indulgence, possible overeating and of course weight gain.

To help push away the possible extra 10lb holiday weight, we are going to explain the Lunge, Squat, Lunge post-Thanksgiving exercise.

Lunges are a simple strength exercise that work your quads, glutes, hamstrings, calves and core muscles. They can also help to improve your balance and coordination. Squats are a fantastic full body exercise that everyone should incorporate into their workout routine -- whether you're trying to build muscle or lose weight.

Squats work your quads, your glutes, your hamstrings and your lower back, all in a single movement. However, in order to reap the full rewards of doing squats and avoid injury, you need to perform them correctly. Here's how.

Doing Lunges

• Stand with your feet shoulder-width apart.
• Step forward with one leg.
• Lower your hips and bend your knees at 90-degree angles.
• Slowly stand up and repeat with your other leg.

Doing Squats

• Stand with your feet shoulder-width apart.
• Push your hips back and bend your knees at a 90-degree angle.
• Keep your back straight and look straight ahead.
• Slowly stand back up.
