Whether you’re running a 5k turkey trot or cooking up a turducken feast for the fam, you’ll definitely want to add in this 10-day fitness challenge to offset the upcoming holiday feast. 

Your 10-Day Holiday Fitness Challenge

For the next 10 days, get ready to sweat through fat-burning moves in just 6 minutes. In Tabata-style, perform each exercise for 20 seconds with 10 seconds rest in-between sets for a total of 4 rounds.
