Halloween isn't just about candy and food. It's about dressing up, having fun, and being outrageous! Why should kids have all the fun. Try some of the ideas below for a great time.
Workout Costume Party
Hire a trainer for a group fitness party. Costumes are mandatory (even for the trainer) and the emphasis should be on having fun and learning new exercises and workout techniques. Be sure to explain to the trainer that your goal is to learn something new and that you may hire him/her to do more events like this in the future. Expect to pay $50-$80 per hour if the trainer is coming to your home. When you divide that up between 5-6 people it's not much and it's well worth it. Any good trainer will be glad to accomodate your group and meet potential long term clients.
Halloween Fitness Challenge
Form 2-3 teams and buy team costumes ie. the biker gang, the zombie cheerleaders, the drama queens. Come up with different challenges that will earn pieces of each teams costume. ie. Cardio challenge: jump over a bench, run to one end, do 20 pushups, do walking lunges to the other end, jump rope for 30 seconds. The person with the lowest time wins all the skirts for that teams costumes. Food challenge: each team comes up with a scary salad for the other team (beets, sardines, onions, whatever crazy combination you can think of) first team to finish it off wins all the tops for that teams costumes. Think fear factor just not as gross. Strength challenge: heavy dumbbell or water jug relay. First team to reach the finish line wins the last pieces of the costume. The team with the most pieces of their costume on wins a prize pack that everyone chips in for in advance like movie passes.
Spa Party
Get all your girlfriends together and chip in for a pampering party. You can call a salon or day spa and have the party there. These businesses will more than welcome you and be happy to cater to you. You can also hire someone to come to your house and do it. This will involve a bit more work on your part but that can be fun if everyone pitches in. You could also do it yourself. Make it a group effort where each guest provides a treatment then everyone just swaps. Food and drinks can be healthy or decadent depending on whether you allow cheating. Be sure to ask everyone coming what they prefer.
