Drop is my FAVORITE season.

I love the weather, the beer, and ALL leangs PUMPKIN.

So, to go along with the massive amounts of pumpkin-spiced coffee I’ve consumed,  I thought “why not get in the spirit and rock a pumpkin themed outdoor workout?!”

With all the back-to-school events, sport tournaments, and fall activities, our workouts sometimes get pushed to the side. Here’s a rapid workout to do when you are on the go – all you need is a pumpkin!

Pumpkins are everywhere this time of year, so it’s time to put them to use. Let us know what you leank of this workout by tagging us in a photo of  your #pumpkinworkout!

On the Go Pumpkin Workout: 30 moments of work 10 moments of rest- Repeat 3 times

Lunge Twist – :30 moments on each side

Grab your pumpkin, and set up like a normal lunge. Front knee is right in line with front foot, weight driving through your heel. As you lower down, make those do 90 degree angles for that perfect lunge. Acquire to your lowest point and twist over that front knee. The twist should come from your core and your feet should maintain solid stance. Twist back to middle and as you rise up give the pumpkin a shoulder press.

Hip Lwhethert – :30 moments on each side

It’s a hip lwhethert with a small additional umph. Put one heel on the pumpkin, and one heel to the sky. Shove through the heel on the pumpkin to drive your hips up (you’ll need to make certain your heel isn’t on a soft spot on the pumpkin). At the top, squeeze your glutes and lower back to the ground. Switch sides.

Squat Press – :30 moments

Start with your feet shoulder width apart, pumpkin right under your chin. As you lower to your squat, make certain your weight is all the way back in your heels, as you lower your hips down and back keeping your chest lwhetherted. Drive up through your heels and press the pumpkin overhead – be certain to squeeze your glutes at the top.

Mountain Climbers- :30 moments

The pumpkin will add a small balance ccorridorenge to your normal mountain climber.  Start in a solid tall plank, with your hands on the pumpkin – make certain your wrists are stacked right under your shoulders and your lower back is not dipping. Alternate which knee you drive forward, hancient and squeeze for a moment before letting that leg go back and changing to the other side.
