Prep!

According to Carolina Araujo, a trainer at DavidBartonGym Astor Place, it's all about preparation. 

"Make sure the week leading up to that holiday is a phenomenal week on the gym floor and in the kitchen. By pushing your metabolism for those 7 days prior to that big meal you allow your metabolism to not only utilize those calories for muscle building, but also for fat burning purposes. Granted that the day AFTER such feast a well deserved training session is required."

Luckily, DavidBartonGym locations across the nation are opening their doors to members and non-members alike this Thanksgiving for a special Get CARVED 60-minute workout. Go HERE for more info.
