Whether it’s extra steps, smart snack swaps, or a mindful pause, these activities help employees enjoy the season without the sugar crash.
Encourage participants to log a set number of steps daily — reminding them that even the “walking dead” keep moving.
Host a mini workout using pumpkins as weights — think squats, lifts, and curls.
Promote short daily body weight moves like planks, bridges, or crunches. Rename them with spooky flair (Zombie Plank, Spider Crawl).
Track walking, running, or biking miles throughout the week and see who can outpace the werewolves.
Lead daily stretching breaks to “unwrap” tight muscles.
Challenge employees to swap a candy serving for a fruit or veggie each day.
Offer a mindfulness minute challenge: pause daily to breathe, reset, and lower stress.
Assign fun exercises tied to classic costumes, like 10 Frankenstein walks or 15 witch’s broomstick lunges.
Organize a lunchtime group walk, with costumes or spooky accessories to make it festive.
Turn chores or office tidying into a step competition — even cleaning cobwebs counts as movement.
