It’s time for another monthly workout, brought to you by yours truly! Since we’re coming up on some holidays and probably a bunch of Halloween treats, I decided to put together another cross training (*cough* CrossFit style *cough*) workout. Fair warning – this one is a leg killer!

The Good:

• You can squeeze this workout into a short 30 minutes, just don’t forget to warm up!
• You’ll really get your heart rate going in those 30 minutes and your legs will feel the burn.
• You can scale this workout easily to adjust to your fitness level.

The Bad:

• You’ll need several pieces of equipment and some space to complete this workout.

Time needed: approx. 30 minutes

Equipment needed:

• Dumbbells
• Boxes (for box jumps)
• Rowing machine
• Treadmill or space for running
• Pull up bar

This month is obviously Halloween and honestly, this workout is going to make your legs feel like one of those Jello dirt treats.  So I named it after the song “Monster” by Kanye West and company since this one is a leg monster.  Plenty of cursing involved in that song, just like you’ll be doing during this workout.  Happy sweating 😉

Monster
