The gym was unusually crowded. Most of the people I did not recognize. I looked at my training partners and asked “Where did all these people come from?”

It was Thanksgiving morning 1993 at Gold’s Gym in Lynbrook NY.

After discussing with a few of the regulars, we agreed the gym is always busy on holiday mornings because people want to get away from their families…maybe so.

I like to believe people want to get a workout in to prepare for an all day feast.

That is exactly what I am going to do this year.

I am thankful for the opportunity to train outside, enjoy the weather, and start my day off right with a cup of coffee and this challenge workout.

3 mile trail run
100 suspension trainer push ups
100 pull ups
150 squat jumps
50 knee to elbows
100 kettle bell swings

Take action, avoid the gym crowds, train outdoors, train hard, and eat big!

Happy Thanksgiving from Outdoor Fitness Project!
