It’s almost Halloween<\/a><\/strong> and by this time almost everyone you know likely has a pumpkin either for decoration, carving or baking. But before you do anything too drastic, put your gourd to the test with this 15-minute full body workout that only requires one piece of equipment: A big, beautiful\u00a0pumpkin<\/a><\/strong>.<\/p>\n

When it comes to picking the perfect “workout” pumpkin, it should be medium in size and about 8 pounds (depending on your strength). If it’s too light the workout won’t be challenging. And if it’s too heavy you run the risk of injuring yourself. The pumpkin we chose was small to medium in size and worked perfectly. If you don’t have a pumpkin you can easily substitute a weighted ball or any semi-heavy round object. Be creative!<\/p>\n

Each of the seven moves in this\u00a0Saturday Morning Drill<\/a><\/strong>\u00a0require about 12-15 reps. You can either do all of them once and then call it a day or you can really challenge yourself and complete \u00a0another 2-3 rounds. I personally like to aim for a minimum of two full rounds and then go for a third if I’m feeling extra motivated. Make the call for yourself once you get a taste of the workout.<\/p>\n
