Stay Active This Thanksgiving: Before and After the Feast

Thanksgiving is a time to gather with loved ones, reflect on gratitude, and, of course, enjoy a delicious meal. But staying active during the holiday can help you feel your best and balance those extra helpings of your favorite dishes. Whether you’re traveling or staying close to home, finding ways to move before and after the big meal can make all the difference.

Kick off Thanksgiving morning with some light activity, like a walk, a local turkey trot, or even a quick at-home workout. Getting your blood flowing early in the day can boost your energy, improve your mood, and leave you feeling ready to tackle all the holiday fun. After the meal, resist the urge to immediately hit the couch. A post-meal walk or light stretching session is a great way to aid digestion and keep you feeling energized. If you’re celebrating with family and friends, invite them to join you—movement is always more fun together.

At CFC, we’re all about building habits that last through every season. Holidays are no exception! This Thanksgiving, we encourage you to find small ways to prioritize your health while still enjoying the traditions and foods you love. Remember, fitness doesn’t have to mean an intense workout—it’s about staying mindful and making choices that feel good for your body.

As we approach Thanksgiving, we want to take a moment to express how thankful we are for our incredible community. Your dedication, energy, and support inspire us every day. From all of us at CFC, have a happy, active, and fulfilling Thanksgiving! 🦃
