The older I get, the more I love Halloween. Not only is it during the gorgeous fall season, but it’s packed with so many fun, themed activities! From corn mazes and haunted houses to trick-or-treaters and ghost stories, there’s just so much going on in October that really get you in the mindset of All Hallows’ Eve.
While I’m not a big Halloween movie fanatic, there are a couple that I will always watch at this time of year. Hocus Pocus is at the top of that list!
I’ve already watched it once this yearโyou know, for research purposes for this post. I was actually inspired to create a workout for Hocus Pocus based off a drinking game I stumbled across recently. I figured…pretty much any drinking game could be a themed workout, if you think about it. So over this past weekend, I popped in my DVD and put together a little routine based on various happenings throughout the movie.
It’s pretty straightforward. If you’re even in doubt of whether something happened or not in the movie, I erred on the side of just do the exercise.
The workout isn’t too intense, by any means, (though you might resent Thackary like I did for yelling out to Emily a million times in the beginning) but I thought it was a nice way to mix things up and move around instead of sinking into the couch. As soon as I found myself starting to relax, a new event happened that required me to get up and moving.
If you plan to watch Hocus Pocus this Halloweenโor really any festive movieโI encourage you to turn it into a workout! Let me know if you try this one and how you liked it!
What’s your favorite Halloween movie?
Will you be dressing up in a costume this year?
