Hopefully you all had a wonderful thanksgiving meal with your families. However, if you ate too much you are probably wondering what to do now. Here's what you need to do to make sure all that good food don't stick.
Just one day after enjoying a delicious thanksgiving dinner it is back to the gym for Hezekiah Michael.
Michael says, "I did more than my share."
He's worried all that good food might do some damage if he doesn't work it off.
"I knew I had to come back without a doubt. I knew I had to come back."
Dr. Otis Baughman with Spartanburg Regional says we should all follow Hezekiah's lead because the average American's Thanksgiving meal was around thirty-five hundred calories. That is just enough for us to put on one pound.
Dr. Baughman says, "If you eat three thousand extra calories one day you've got to work it off or it is going to stick."
So what would it take to work off that meal?
Dr. Baughman says, "A good exercise routine you can work off three to four hundred calories an hour if you really work hard real hard."
We found a website, http://walking.about.com/library/cal/blholidaycalories.htm that shows you exactly how far you have to go to get rid of that one meal. You check the items you ate and then click do the math. The website showed us that you may have to walk almost thirty miles just work off that one meal.
According to Dr. Baughman, if you did overeat don't get stressed out. Just do like Hezekiah and get moving.
