If you don't like pumpkin pie and you want to put your pumpkins to good use try getting "Pumpkined" up. Trainer Josey Greenwell has come up with 4 simple exercises that use a pumpkin to help you get a full body workout. The size is up to you. When your pumpkin collapses you can replace it with a medicine ball instead.
1. Pumpkin Push Up-Push off the gourd with both of your hands instead of the floor.
2. Jack O Lantern Swing- Use the pumpkin like a kettle ball.
3. Squash Squat- Do some squats while holding your pumpkin.
4. Pumpkin Seated Russian Twist- Your are seated and twisting from side to side while you hold your pumpkin.
One more thing. Greenwell suggests exercising with a fresh pumpkin istead of one that you have had for a while. An older pumpkin could leave you covered in orange mush if you crush it by accident.
