Pumpkin Extravaganza Workout

The other night for one of my group classes we did an entire workout using just a pumpkin we called it the Pumpkin Extravaganza Workout.  The picture you see is the actual winner in the decorating contest.  You didn’t really think I would have them using pumpkins without first decorating them did you?

Well as a bonus, since it is Halloween I am going to give you my entire workout.  All you will need is a pumpkin (pre cut) decorations are optional.

Pumpkin Extravaganza Workout

Warm-up – Each of the next four exercises are completed for a minute each.  No rest in between.

• Walk with an overhead press
• Walk with a bicep curl
• Front toe touches
• Pumpkin swings

Core - Each exercise performed for 1 minute no rest in between.

• Bridge hold with chest press
• Side plank pumpkin on hip
• Plank hands on pumpkin

Workout – each exercise is performed for 30 seconds followed by a 30 second recovery.  During the recovery you will walk with an overhead press or bicep curl.

• Pumpkin chop
• Kneeling or full push ups on pumpkin
• Side toe touches
• Pumpkin squat overhead press
• Bent over alternating rows
• Lunge with alternating twist

Perform circuit for desired amount of times.

Beginners remember take breaks as often as possible and more advanced exercisers as little as possible.

Check back often as I will be uploading examples of each of these exercises.

Be safe and have a Happy Halloween!

Stay Motivated,

Karen
