Trick or Treat and Stay Fit
A little magic is never a bad thing. Presumably, you have already curved the pumpkin, decorated the house with a spiderweb and baked bizarre cookies (those in a shape of human eye). What’s left? Treat yourself to our spooky fitvize workout - and get ready to beat zombie apocalypse. Or, at least, to the New Year’s Eve fatal dress.
Spooky Fitvize Workout
1. The Spine Stretch: Zombie Style
Stand tall with your feet hip-width apart. Inhale and lift your arms forward (parallel to the floor). Keeping your abdominals engaged, exhale as you lengthen your spine to curve forward (you are going for a deep C-Curve).

Take a deep inhale and pull your abs in to spine. While exhaling put your chin to chest and smoothly and carefully roll down, vertebra by vertebra, trying to relax all your body. Remain hanging passively for a few seconds and while exhaling roll up, bone by bone, stretching your spinal column out and holding your bellybutton close to spine.
This exercise beautifully elongates your back muscles and, therefore, ensures they are in balance, preventing muscle stiffness and lower back pain.
3. Be My Guest Ghost
Challenge your balance: stand on one leg and hold this pose for 30-45 sec (on each side). Try doing so with your eyes closed. Keep your core muscles engaged to make it through.
Researches show, the ability to balance on one leg is an important test for brain health: a good sense of balance increases the chances of longevity (and we aim for immortality, of course).
4. Walk Discreetly Away OR Downward-Facing Dog with Hamstring Stretch
Begin on your hands and knees. Carefully lift your pelvis to reach the position on the picture. Keep your knees initially bent to lengthen the spine, taking the hips up and away from you. Then if possible straighten the legs, while maintaining the length in the spine. Now try to “walk away” with your arms (keep you feet pressed to the
