Snickers, Kit-Kats and Twizzlers are just some of the candy that goes into the bags of everyone on Halloween. You get it from your child who everyone thought was cute in their Pokémon costume as Pikachu to the front desk at any nearby commercial gym. No matter where you go it’s there and it won’t go away unless you get rid of it or at least try to, just like Michael Myers.
That‘s why these 3 Halloween-inspired core exercises are aimed at not only to take the place of eating large quantities of Hershey Kisses, but also to improve the core stability needed to dodge any of Michael’s attacks if you happen to see him.
Deadbug
Begin by lying on your back and bring your feet, knees, and hips up to 90 degrees.
Exhale hard to bring your ribcage down and flatten your back onto the floor, rotating your pelvis up and squeezing your glutes. Hold this position throughout the movement. This will be your starting position.
Initiate the exercise by extending one leg, straightening the knee and hip to bring the leg just above the ground.
Maintain the position of your lumbar and pelvis as you perform the movement, as your back is going to want to arch.
Stay tight and return the working leg to the starting position.
Kettlebell Pumpkin Carry
Grasp a kettlebell in one hand using a neutral grip and stand up straight.
When performing a unilateral carry variation, ensure that you’re not leaning to one side as you complete the movement.
Walk slowly and ensure a heel-toe pattern.
Stabilize the weight and don’t allow it to drive you into overextension.
Stir The Witches' Pot
Assume a proper plank position on a stability ball.
Move your forearms in a circular fashion maintaining a rock solid position the entire time.
Go for either time or desired repetitions.
