11 Scary-Good Halloween Workouts to Get You Sweating All Spooky Season Long

Oct 15 2020

While it's true that we love a good HIIT workout or strength session all year long, there's something about October that makes us want Halloween-themed everything, and that includes our fitness routines. Sometimes that means blasting our favourite Halloween cardio playlist, other times we'll swap our dumbbells for a precarved pumpkin. Hey, don't knock it til you try it! But in our books, it's hard to top a straight-up Halloween-themed workout video, complete with the music, the sweat-worthy moves, and yes, the costumes. We've rounded up our current faves ahead, so throw on some spooky workout gear, set aside the candy (it can be your post-workout snack), and get ready to sweat!

1. 15-Minute Halloween Dance Workout

You can't help but love this high-energy workout from Jamie Kinkeade, founder of and instructor at The Studio by Jamie Kinkeade. It starts with "Ghostbusters," goes into "Thriller," and hits a bunch more Halloween-themed hits while incorporating squats, high knees, and dance moves for a full cardio workout.

2. Billie Eilish "Bad Guy" Dance Workout

We love the creepy-cool vibe of this Billie Eilish dance workout, created by choreographer Mylee Dance, and it's the perfect routine to pull up when you want to challenge yourself with more advanced moves.

3. Hocus Pocus Cardio Dance Workout

If you love DCOM classic Hocus Pocus, this workout is about to put a spell on you. Choreographer and dance and fitness instructor Joseph Corella leads the upbeat choreography, which is set to "I Put a Spell on You" and features simple bodyweight moves and spot-on costumes.

4. 25-Minute Pumpkin Workout

Put your extra pumpkin to use with this 25-minute workout from BCRPA-certified trainer Kelsey Ellis! You'll complete three sets of 12 reps for each of the exercises (which include compound moves like sumo squat with bicep curl and single-leg deadlift with row), with one to two minutes of rest between sets. (If you don't have a pumpkin, grab a pair of dumbbells!)

In this quick video, Bowflex fitness adviser and certified strength and conditioning coach Tom Holland teaches you five Halloween-inspired moves (think Frankenstein walks and Spider-man push-ups) that you can throw into any routine.
