First things first, everyone please be safe!
Secondly..
It’s Halloween week!
This is like a fitness instructors’ dream come true..do you realize how many exercises can be morphed into a Halloween-name?! Amaze.
I taught Core & More and named all of the exercises after Halloween; descriptions of the actual exercises are below:
- Supine Frankenstein leg drops
- Eerie Plank (up, up, down, down)
- Creeping Spider (plank w/ knees to the side)
- Scared Cat (Down down to plank)
- About to Pounce (Down dog to plank)
- Dead Cat (Spine Bridge lifts)
- Witches Brew (butt on knees, lift and torso twist right and left)
- Hexes (star crunch)
Right after was Cycle! Of course I had to include songs like Thriller, Ghostbusters, and Werewolves of London-only appropriate ;-).
Are you going Trick or Treating tomorrow night? If so, here are the healthiest candies to nosh on:
- 3 musketeers mini-24 calories
- fun-sized lemonheads- 50 calories for 10 pieces
- full-sized york peppermint pattie (fave!)- 140 calories
- peeps pumpkins- <100 calories for 6 peeps
- Tootsie caramel apple pop- 60 calories
Notice how the first 3 candies are bold? It’s all about portion size! Obviously the mini versions of our favorite candies are going to have fewer calories than the full-sized versions, but we tend to overlook those intricate details and only read “3 musketeers” and “24 calories”. Pay attention to portions and I have no doubt that you can celebrate Halloween like it’s supposed to be celebrated:
I’m a little disappointed that Reese cups dudnt make the cut!! I always assume that since they’re filled with peanut butter they must be protein-packed at least, right?! Haha
I’m SO with you! Reeses are my weakness :/. I love the way you think!!
