If you recall from a post we made last year; you'll consume close to 1,800 calories during Thanksgiving dinner.  After Thanksgiving we're all going to be confronted with extra calories at holidays parties with all those extra treats that taste so good! 

One of the best ways to keep the holiday calories in check is to get out and run; running burns anywhere from 600-1000 calories an hour:

Activity (1 hour)   Calories burned:    (130lbs)   (155lbs)  (180lbs)
Running(7mph)                                  679          809         940
Cycling (16-19mph)                           708          844         981
Aerobics(no rest)                              384          457          531      
Crossfit                                             472          563          654       
Skiing(downhill)                                354          422          490      
Football (touch)                                472          563          654
Jump rope(fast)                                590          704          817
