Gear Up for Halloween With This Trick or Treat Workout!

Written by The Edge Fitness Clubs | Oct 23, 2024 7:03:27 PM

As Halloween approaches, why not add some spooky fun to your fitness routine? Our Trick or Treat Workout is the perfect way to get your heart pumping while keeping the festive spirit alive! Grab some friends, crank up the Halloween tunes, and get ready for a workout that's equal parts challenging and fun 🎃👻

This workout plays on the classic trick-or-treating experience—except instead of candy, you're treating yourself to an awesome workout! For every “trick” (a high-intensity movement), there’s a “treat” (a lower-intensity movement). 

How it Works:

1. Create a Trick or Treat Bag: Just like traditional trick-or-treating, grab a small Halloween-themed bag. Inside, place pieces of paper with different exercises written on them—half are “tricks” and half are “treats” 

2. Set a Timer: For this workout, we’ll use a time-based format. Each round will last 30 seconds, followed by a 15-second break. Complete as many rounds as you wish, we suggest around 30 minutes!

3. Pick your Poison: Before each round, draw a paper from the bag, it could be either a trick or treat! Perform the exercise you’ve picked for 30 seconds, then take a short break before the next draw.
