No Tricks or Treats, Just Sweat & Squats!

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.

Missing a Kettlebell? Pick up the nearest pumpkin & start moving!

  • Equipment needed:
  • Mini band
  • KB/DB or 🎃/💀
  • Plyo Box or step
