Dressing up in your favorite costumes later? Grabbing some awesome candy from neighbors down the road? Hope everyone has fun tonight on this great Hallows Eve. Tonight i'll be passing out candy and not going out but that doesn't mean I'm not going to workout. In between giving out free candy, I'll be moving around like a wild beast and maybe a howl or two just to have a little fun.
Some days, the weather can be so crappy that it may not be the best idea to go out and exercise even though it could be fun. Besides, I think for one night where you dress up, you don't want to get it wet or being dragged around in a muddy area (unless you're into that you sick twisted individual) lol. However; animal movements can still be done while indoors and going back and forth. Some can be done in your own bedroom doing frog jumps, rabbit hops, bear walkouts, frog sprawls ect. but the cool thing is, if you use your imagination, you can make it as fun as you want.
Do you travel at times and need a quick workout but the weather isn't always in your favor? Do some movement in your hotel room or in the gym area of your hotel or poolside. Sometimes you just want to stay in; when me and my fiance were traveling to Lake Tahoe, in the second hotel we stayed in, I got up in the morning and did up to 100 crawls of the Tiger, going back and forth. It was a great stretch and great way to wake up the muscles. You can do multiple animals or just one, whatever you choose to do.
For some people, they want to be stationary and just move in the space that they are limited in which is fine, I do it too. You can do all sorts of animals like the Frog Sprawl, Hop like a Flamingo, Donkey Kicks and others. They may not look like much but they can get you into serious shape if you do them right. They can even get you breathing hard within seconds and that in turn can get you some great cardio.
So remember, just because there isn't a ton of space to use it doesn't mean you can't get a great workout in. Make it interesting and make it fun. Move like a werewolf, go crazy like Cujo, slither like a creepy snake, Flap your arms like the wings of a scary bat that could turn into a horrifying Vampire, Hop like a bullfrog; like I said, make it fun.
Happy Halloween everyone and get moving to burn off that candy.
