I am not a personal trainer, nor am I a fitness expert. And everything I post on Fit Thursday is through my own experiences.
Halloween has got to be one of my favourite holidays. And usually I'll dress up and give candy to trick or treaters then have a horror movie marathon. But unfortunatly this year I have to stay in and study (sob).
Below I have designed a workout for those that want to tone up for halloween, do three or more sets and do this workout everyday with an hour long cardio workout on the days in between. It is not necessary to use dumbbells in this workout, as long as you concract your muscles. All you'll need is a stopwatch or watch to keep track of time.
This workout does not include a stretch or cool down.
- Warm up: Jog in place for 5 minutes. Do do any other form of cardio for a five minute warm up.
- Spider standing side crunch: Stand with your feet hip width apart. Put your right hand behind your head and put your left hand on your hip. Move your hand behind your head down to meet your lifting knee. Do 30 seconds on each side.
- Frankenstein's Dead Lift with Bicep curl: Keep standing with your feet hip width apart and keep your arms in front of you with your shoulders relaxed. Bend slowly at the hips and then come back up slowly. Once back up to standing, squeeze your glutes and give one slow bicep curl. Complete for one minute.
- Flying Bat: Stay seated in a chair. Place your arms in front of you as if you're hugging a tree, slowly open your arms up, until your arms are in line with your shoulders and then move them back to hugging a tree. Complete for one minute
- Witch flying broom: Lie flat on your stomach. Slowly lift up your ams and legs and then bring them back down. Complete for one minute
- Dracula Squats: Do a regular squat (make sure your knees stay above your ankles). Once you've come up, raise up on your tippy toes with your arms straight above your head and bend your wrists to make as if you're scary. Then slowly reeturn to a regular squat. Complete for one minute.
- Ghost Bicycle: Lie flat on your back with a constant contraction in your stomach. Move your legs in the air as if you're riding a bike. Complete for one minute
- Jet packs: Stand with your legs hip width apart and knees slightly bent. Bend at the wasit, and place your arms on your hips with your elbows bent towards the back. Keep your elbow in place as you move your lower arm (Upper arm static) to straighten at the back. Complete for 1 minute.
- Creepy Crawlies: Start standing. Slowly bend down till you reach the floor. Walk your hand out until you are in a plank position, do one push up and then return to standing. Complete for one minute.
- Sneaky Lunges: Like a Regular lunge but on your toes. You can decide if you want to complete this as walking lunges or alternating lunges. Complete for one minute
