Ah, the Super Bowl. A night of football, long-awaited commercial debuts, and a killer halftime show. It’s also filled with friends and family, but there’s one problem: Super Bowl Sunday is brimming with tons of resolution-busting foods.
On average, people consume around 2,400 calories during the game (and celebrations around it!). But the Big Game doesn’t have to mean big gain!

Want an even bigger challenge? Add weights to the exercises, or make it a competition with friends to see who can go for the entire game.
