Pumpkin Workout – Seen on Houston Life TV

I got a chance to be on Houston Life (NBC) this week to demo my pumpkin workout live with Lauren Kelley. I wanted to show viewers at home that it’s easy and fun to workout with your pumpkins this fall! They make great weights (just like medicine balls!) and you can choose your size/weight based on your level of fitness.

Every year I do a pumpkin workout at my Bombshell Bootcamp and it’s so fun! This year we had it again at Whole Foods and I teamed up with my friend Megan from HoneyWereHome.com. We thought that the whole idea of a pumpkin workout fits in well with our theme and ebook “Get Fit Done” – which is all about fitting in workouts whenever you can with whatever you can…even pumpkins! Plus, when you are busy (we are both busy moms of 2) it’s so important to have your workout be fun and enjoyable! Here are some pics of our fun event. Special thanks to Whole Foods for sponsoring and for the great goodie bags and happy hour post-workout!

Here is a sample pumpkin workout you can do at home:

*You can make the pushups harder by doing one-handed pushups with one hand on the pumpkin (just do the same number of reps on each arm). Also, you can swap the squat jumps for regular squats holding the pumpkin. 

goWorkout Houston

I just launched a new fitness company with my longtime friend Kelley Davidson (we met working in the fitness biz) called goWorkout Houston. We had our first BIG event last weekend and it was called goWorkout For Buffalo Bayou! We selected some of the hottest fitness studios in town (including Dance House Fitness, Bombshell Bootcamp, BodyRock Pilates, Beyoga and Sweat 1000) to showcase their classes on the big stage at Buffalo Bayou Park. We decided that we wanted our first event to be a charity event so that we could give back to the community and we chose Buffalo Bayou Partnership. This charity is close to my heart since I’ve been leading workout classes out there with Bombshell Bootcamp for the past 7 years and it was heartbreaking to see the damage that Hurricane Harvey caused.

The event was a huge success and I was even featured on KPRC Channel 2 (NBC) Saturday morning to talk about the event.

 

We are busy planning our next workout parties and events – so if you want to “be in the know”…please signup on our goWorkoutHouston.com website so you will get notifications! Some of our events will be open to the public, but then we will be doing some special, exclusive events that are private invite only! Also, we are looking for instructors, studios, musicians, venues and products to feature – so if you or anyone you know might be interested email us at [email protected]
