Living Lean After Thanksgiving

Fitness expert Jimmy Rosser from Nautilus Sport & Fitness was in studio to show you how pop squats can jump start shedding those Thanksgiving pounds, and nutritionist Tori Park shows you how to turn those Thanksgiving leftovers into a healthy salad.

Park advises using turkey instead of chicken on many favorite dishes you might normally prepare, like salads, sandwiches, tacos, wraps, stew, and more.

On Monday's First News AM, Park showed us her Turkey Broccoli Slaw Salad. Click the video link to watch the segment.

New research is challenging medical guidelines that say people with a heart-zapping device in their chests should avoid intense sports like basketball and soccer in favor of golf or bowling. Increasingly, teenagers and younger adults receive these implants, people who may be more active and fit but have some underlying heart abnormality that puts them at risk of an arrhythmia. Last year, Utah State forward Danny Berger collapsed on the basketball court, was revived and had a defibrillator implanted; he has said he hopes to play again.
