Scary Good Leg Workout

October 31, 2014 By Heather Blackmon

.

Happy Halloween! Although I’m not the girl who creates a haunted house for the neighborhood kids OR watches a scary movie every night of October (or any night), I do love this holiday. Who am I kidding, I love any excuse to celebrate.

My celebrations actually started last week with festivities at work. Since it was a week early and no conflicting family celebrations, almost everyone was in costume and brought their kids to do some trick-or-treating in the office. We are a competitive crew and there were prizes for both the best department and best individual costumes. Our department chose the theme of Where’s Waldo and it was pretty amazing to see about 20 team members in the spirit. We didn’t win, but it was a fun day!

Halloween Leg Workout

Before you start your own Halloween celebrations this weekend, I thought I would share my own fitness treat with you! No tricks here, I’m warning you now that your legs will be shaking after this Scary Good Leg Workout.

Halloween Leg Workout // FITaspire.com

Make sure you concentrate on good form throughout the workout (don’t be ashamed to take a break if needed). This workout is intended for individuals who have been exercising regularly for at least 2 months & can perform all exercises with good form.

About the Workout

This workout is made up of three supersets, each indicated by brackets. A superset is one exercise performed right after the other, with no rest in between them. After each superset, rest for 30-60 seconds before starting the next set.

You can watch video explanations of each exercise below:

  • Leg Extensions
  • Squat Jump
  • Barbell Squat
  • Box Jump
  • Plie Squat
  • Deadlift
  • Weighted Walking Lunge

If you try this workout, make sure you tag me & let me know! I’d love to hear what you think and how you feel the next day.

Which is more YOUR thing - camping near an alpine Which is more YOUR thing - camping near an alpine lake or shredding on a local trail? ⬇️

In both cases, we need to protect the land we enjoy on our adventures. And Leave No Trace is one program that helps with that - especially those that have a high rate of degradation through a program called Hot Spots. 

I'm excited to be partnering with @leavenotrace and @onxbackcountry to celebrate and preserve all these beautiful outdoor places. And for all of June, $10 of every onX Backcountry membership is being donated towards Leave No Trace’s Hot Spot program. A great way to get access to my favorite backcountry app AND support LNT! 

I added a link in my bio if you're interested in learning more, so you can help #ExploreandRestore!

What scares me is probably different than what scares you.

I am admittedly a timid mountain biker - but getting better every day.

I'm afraid to face plant, but still working on crow pose in yoga.

Am I the only one still (basically) living in yoga Am I the only one still (basically) living in yoga clothes?

For at least part of the day, it's just easier to put on yoga pants, sports bra, and a "zoom-appropriate" top. Or a button-up layered over my workout tank. It makes it SO much easier to squeeze in a workout when I have time.

Tell me I'm not the only one who's not going back to work clothes?!

But really, keep your gaze straight ahead to keep your neck safe in bridge (or Setu Bandha Sarvangasana). It's rare that a version of this pose isn't included during cooldown in my classes.

Do you love bridge as much as I do?
