If you are anything like me, those cute little mini Halloween candies start calling your name as soon as they hit the shelves. What’s a girl to do? I’ve come up with a Halloween workout to help keep you moving while enjoying the fun of the weekend.
Here’s how it works~ Whether you are staying at home answering the door or out trick or treating with kids, you can perform this fun workout to “trick” yourself to keep up your activity and enjoy those “treats”.Β See the costume on the list and perform the corresponding exercise. Simple enough for the whole family to do. At any rate, it will give the neighbors something to talk about!!
My other “tricks” to survive Halloween:
-Don’t buy candy until the day of Halloween. Out of sight out of mind. They will not run out of candy at the store.
-Buy candy that you don’t like (less temptation)
-Donate all your left over candy to the troops or a shelter
What’s your plan to stay active this Halloween? Have any “tricks” of your own to share?
Susie @ SuzLyfe says
I wish I had a family to torture with this. That would be so much fun.
Deborah Brooks says
ha ha yes it would!
Janelle @ Run With No Regrets says
I love this idea!! The only problem is I don’t get trick or treaters on the 3rd floor of my walkup apartment :(. I bet there are gonna be a lot of superheroes and Disney princesses this year! #wowlinkup
Deborah Brooks says
you might have to go out onto the street and start exercising-LOL!
Autumn says
Great idea, sounds like fun! I Love it, keep those neighbors talking girl! Youre amazing π
Deborah Brooks says
Oh they have lots to talk about already π
MCM Mama says
You need to add “kid not wearing a costume” LOL We get a ton of those.
And i will be buying candy on Friday afternoon. Not eating dairy should help me stay away…
Deborah Brooks says
I always think they have no right to ask for candy if they are not in costume!
Julie @ Running in a Skirt says
Awesome. This is so much fun! I think I know a half dozen little girls going as Elsa.
Deborah Brooks says
Thanks and have a great time celebrating & exercising
Chaitali says
I love this! And much healthier than the drinking game I’ve seen around facebook of taking a drink every time an Elsa stops by π We bought the Halloween candy early but I made my husband put it in a high cabinet that I can’t reach.
Deborah Brooks says
Ha ha and that’s why they have chairs right? Just knowing its around drives me crazy
The Frugal Exerciser says
Cute workout names! I want to teach your workout in class but what are butt kicks? #wowlinkup

You can certainly add them in! I ran out of space π
Stephanie says

Lacey@fairytalesandfitness says
I will be working this Halloween night so I will not be home to pass out candy. So there is no reason to buy any.
Deborah Brooks says
ooh that’s a great way to survive it!
Rachel says
Great tips! I don’t have any to share… besides to keep moving and to enjoy things in moderation (You know the same old boring tips) π
Deborah Brooks says
They also work when people actually do them right?
Lauren @ ihadabiglunch says
Haha this is too funny! I can imagine there will be PLENTY of burpees this halloween haha. My dad is buying our halloween candy today and I appreciate that he held out until this close to the actual day! you’re right, there’s nothing more tempting than having a huge bag of variety chocolate sitting in the living room just asking to be eaten.
Deborah Brooks says
Yes lots of burpees for sure! I know even when I try to hide it chocolate just calls my name
Annmarie says
Omg, I love this! Such a great idea π
Deborah Brooks says

Cuing up to do about 3,000 burpees…
