Celebrate Halloween 2025 With These Hauntingly Cool Exercises!
Whether you like the costume parties and trick-or-treating part or love to safely explore darker themes such as death and the supernatural, playfully, Halloween is a celebration that becomes memorable every year, isn’t it?
Now, if you are a fitness freak, to double the fun, thrill, and excitement at the gym this year, you can try these top 4 no-joke, really spooky Halloween-special exercises:
Jack O’Lantern’s Pumpkin
Kettlebell swing? Nope. Pumpkin swing? Oh, yeah! To perform a pumpkin swing, you mimic the kettlebell swing. Stand with your feet slightly wider than your hips, with your toes pointing a bit outward. Next, place the pumpkin on the floor in front of you, between your feet, and squat down while keeping your back straight and your chest up. Make sure you are not rounding your spine. Now, grip the pumpkin securely with both hands from underneath or sides and hike, thrust, swing, and hinge. Repeat.

- Halloween style tip: Based on the weather, go for a sports bra, a tank top, or a long-sleeve athletic shirt in orange. In bottoms, choose a pair of matching leggings or athletic shorts. For the final touch, wear a green beanie or workout headband to represent the stem of the pumpkin.

Ghostbusters
Ready to do some exorcism or catch some spirits as the new ghostbuster in the town? Relax, not in the literal sense! With this crazy hard lateral lunge that tests your hip mobility and balance, give your quads, adductors, abductors, and glutes a clean sweep. Once you lunge sideways, remember to sit your hips back into the stretch and ensure your knee doesn’t move past your toes. Make it wide into the lunge with your toes pointing forward and keep your back straight, babe. That feeling of swinging down to up is total fun as you indulge in it. However, be careful and don’t cheat yourself by taking multiple breaks in between. The mantra here? Move with control!

Ghoul’s hunt
Just like how a ghoul eyes its prey to feast on its flesh, waiting to pounce, a ghoul’s hunt is all about an unexpected slow burn. To work on your glutes, hamstrings, trunk extensors, hips, abs, and back, the key to this lower-body workout is engaging your abs so that your back and chest don’t drop. Consider shifting a little more weight to your heels and think about squeezing your shoulder blades together as you hinge forward. Oh no, it’s not a squat! As you descend, though, it’s natural to transfer some weight into your heels, consider more of keeping your abs engaged than sticking your butt out. To keep your back flat and chest lifted, you can take the liberty of going at a slower pace. When you press your shoulders, it helps you avoid rounding and hunching, which can ultimately cause bigger posture problems.

- Halloween style tip: Wear a gray or black, slightly distressed sweat-wicking long-sleeve T-shirt or tank top. To create a decayed, aged look, lightly rub gray or brown fabric paint into the tears. Use gray or black (distressed) leggings or workout shorts.

Dancing skeleton
Not really a fan of the floor crunches? It’s ok, you can try the standing variation, you know! It works smoothly on your core while you feel an adrenaline rush. Imagine you are Jenna Ortega from Wednesday Season 1, and get ready to show some killer moves, baby. Trying the dancing skeleton, you are not just working your obliques, but also adding the element of balance, which improves everyday stability and function beautifully. With this ab-tightening move, you also get to work on your movements, which in turn increases your heart rate (provided you are doing it at a certain speed). By the way, do keep a slight bend in your supporting leg as you lift the other leg towards your elbow (to maintain a wicked witch posture). Instead of leaning forward, stay upright in the side crunch.
Halloween Style Tip: Go for a black, long-sleeve athletic T-shirt or tank top and combine it with black athletic leggings. You can use glow-in-the-dark paint to paint the bones. Complete with athletic sneakers or shoes.
