Spooky season can’t end without a sweat session from Torque Fitness and Coach Kameron Johnson from KJFITCO. This month’s featured workout is focused on the lower body - training muscles for functional activities like running through corn mazes & devouring chocolate shaped like a pumpkin. Are you ready for the challenge?
This workout challenge requires minimal equipment & maximum effort. To enhance performance & prevent injury, a dynamic warmup is recommended.
When incorporating multiple pieces of low impact equipment during a workout, it's important to find a weight that is workable & challenging. If you're short on gym equipment at home, get creative or modify exercises.
