Food drive with pumpkins
Boot Camp folks at Fitness For Living are gearing up for their 2nd Annual Halloween Fitness Food Drive to benefit the Emergency Family Assistance Association (EFAA). A fun twist to this Halloween morning happening is that the entire workout uses a pumpkin in its exercises. The Food Drive Fitness event will take place at Scott Carpenter Park in Boulder on Saturday, Oct. 30, from 8:45 to 10 a.m.
“A pumpkin is a perfect substitute for a weighted medicine ball,” says camp trainer Terri Garden.
Participants are encouraged to wear a costume, and prizes will be awarded for best costume and spirit.
The PUMP-kin Workout is designed for both athletic beginners and seasoned athletes. Women are encouraged to bring a 5-10 pound pumpkin and men in the 8-14 pound range.
There is no charge to attend, but registration is require. Participants are asked to bring four non-perishable food items or a $15 donation.
