Columbus Fitness Bootcamp Kicks Off Annual Halloween Pumpkin Workout Benefiting Make-A-Wish

Sept. 30, 2009 - PRLog -- The Columbus-based ‘Yun Fitness Bootcamps” will be starting a unique new tradition. Yun Fitness Bootcamps will be putting on their Freaky Fat-Loss Halloween Pumpkin Workout. For the entire workout the only piece of equipment needed will be you and a Pumpkin. The workout will take place at the Dexter Falls Park on October 17th @ 9:15 am.

The workout will be a charity workout and 100% of the proceeds from the event will be donated to the Make-A-Wish Foundation® of Greater Ohio, Kentucky & Indiana, Central Ohio Region.

“If you don’t think you can get a good workout in from just a pumpkin think again. A pumpkin can be used to simulate a medicine ball,” says owner and head trainer of Yun Fitness Bootcamps, Jason Yun. “Obviously some of the throwing exercises can’t be performed with a pumpkin, but beginners and experienced athletes, alike, will ‘feel the burn’. Working out on a consistent basis is not easy, but finding ways to keep your workouts interesting, like using a pumpkin, will definitely help.”

The workout will be made even more interesting if the participants decide to wear their Halloween costumes. The costumes are optional, but will add some interesting flavor to the workout. “Imagine walking by the park and seeing a clown, princess or Dracula doing jump squats with a bright, orange pumpkin. It will be quite a scene,” remarked Yun.
The Halloween event benefits the Make-A-Wish Foundation® of Greater Ohio, Kentucky & Indiana, Central Ohio Region, which is an organization Yun works closely with and personally supports. Minimum donations of at least $15 are required to join the workout.

Women are encouraged to bring a pumpkin in the range of 10 pounds and men closer to the 20 pound range. The Freaky Fat-Loss Halloween Pumpkin Workout is open to everybody in Columbus and the surrounding area.
