JessicaSmithTV: 1 Mile Turkey Trop

This is a quick little cardio walk from Jessica Smith. It’s called a Turkey Trot because it was filmed around Thanksgiving and Jessica devised it as a way to squeeze in some steps between the turkey binge. I did this as a doubles workout and followed it up with another short cardio walk from Jessica called Wake Up & Walk. This combo was lower intensity than the cardio walk combo I did earlier this week (1 Mile Fast Interval Walk and 1 Mile Power Walk). Even tho they weren’t as intense, I still enjoyed them both. I got my steps in after work and burned 250 calories. Not bad. Peanut has a bone to keep her occupied throughout the walk–and she is really enjoying it, rolling around with it.

1 Mile Turkey Trot is 12:30 minutes; no warm up or cool down. You are marching in place between every move. There are arm movements with most moves even if they are not mentioned. This is not low impact but modifications are offered.
