Turkey Workout

TRV|FIT West Bloomfield’s owners model three workouts for you to try– with or without the bird– this holiday season.

TRV|FIT West Bloomfield emphasizes an individualized approach to group fitness because the owners and staff recognize everyone has different needs and goals. The studio offers private, semi-private and group training designed to “maximize results.” 

With Thanksgiving approaching, owners and head coaches Jess Carr and David Sherban modeled three workouts you can do with a frozen turkey. However, Carr said if you’d prefer to work out sans the bird, you could use a backpack weighted with items like books or swap out the turkey for a toolbox, medicine ball or dumbbells, too.

1. Goblet Squat Press Out

Hold the turkey near your chest. Squat down with your weight evenly distributed and keep your chest up. Press the turkey out until your arms are fully extended. Bring it back into your chest and come back up to standing. Perform eight reps.

2. Turkey Hollow Hold

Lay down on your back. Engage your abs, lift your shoulders and your feet off the ground and hold the turkey above your abdomen, hollowing out your core. Hold for 10 seconds, and then rest for 10 seconds. Repeat eight times.

3. Turkey Overhead Reverse Lunge

With your feet shoulder width apart, press the turkey over your head, fully extending your arms. Lunge back on one side, making sure your front knee doesn’t go past your toe. Press off your front leg to return to standing. Perform six on each leg.
