What’s scarier than a horror movie?  Watching its sequel and hoping it doesn’t suck 😊 Well, we’ve given our classic “Halloween Havoc” its own sequel, but it’s better than the original, as it’s 2 rounds LONGER!!!…and we swapped one movement for a new one…For the movements: “Candy Bag Carry” = Farmer’s Carry w/Kettlebells, “Pumpkin Smashers” = Slam Balls (please use the sand ones, not the med balls), “Rise from the Dead” Sit-ups = Straight-leg sit ups while holding plate locked out in front of you, and “Scarecrow Lunge” = Barbell on your back for either in-place or walking lunges.  Have fun with this one, and move like the ghost and ghouls are chasing you!  🎃
