Need to lose the holiday bulge? Shape magazine and Gold's Gym are teaming up for a second year in the "Trim the Fat" campaign and providing free post-Thanksgiving gym workouts and exercise routines.
According to leading nutritional experts, Americans will consume 3,000 calories during Thanksgiving dinner. But Gold's Gym and Shape have crafted a workout plan to help!

"Regular exercise is proven to help prevent weight gain. This is more important during the holidays than ever because research shows that the pounds you put on during this time of year tend to stay put—and that can really add up over the years!" Jeanine Detz, Shape's Fitness Director, said. "Gold’s Gym and Shape.com’s "Trim the Fat" campaign make it easy to squeeze in a workout anywhere.”
