THE BOOGIEMAN

The Boogieman's Nightmare Workout was inspired by a chilling legend passed down through generations. In a cursed forest, those who dared to venture too deep were hunted by the Boogieman, an ancient creature that feeds on fear and exhaustion. To survive, travelers had to develop strength, speed, and endurance, training their bodies to outrun ghouls, lift the heavy weight of terror, and endure the relentless pursuit of unseen monsters. Over time, their survival techniques became this ritualistic workout, designed to build the kind of stamina and power needed to escape the clutches of the dark forces lurking in the shadows. Today, this routine lives on as a way to face the fears that once haunted the night.

Boogieman's Nightmare

Shadowy Forest Escape (20 min)

• Dread March (10 min) – Walk at a fast pace with your ruck. Imagine the Boogieman is lurking behind every tree, ready to pounce!

• Tombstone Step-Ups (5 min) – Find a step or bench. Step up with alternating legs while carrying the weight of fear on your back (your ruck).

• Fear-Struck Squats (5 min) – With the ruck on, stand with arms out as if you're frozen in terror, then squat. Keep your chest high as you brace against the fear.

Monstrous Might (20 min)

• Spider Crawls (4 min) – Crawl like a spider with the ruck on for 30 seconds, then rest for 30 seconds. Repeat 4 times.

• Grave Push-Ups (4 min) – With the weight of the underworld (your ruck), do 30 seconds of push-ups, then rest for 30 seconds. 4 sets total.

• Coffin Sit-Ups (4 min) – Rise from your grave! Lay down and sit up with arms crossed like a mummy escaping the tomb.

• Boogieman Swings (4 min) – Grab the ruck in front of you and swing it like you're wielding the Boogieman’s heavy sack of nightmares. 30 seconds on, 30 seconds off.

• Headless Thrusters (4 min) – Squat with the ruck held in front, then explode upwards, imagining you're lifting the Boogieman’s eerie head above you.

Frightening Speed (15 min)

• Ghoul Chase Sprints (12 min) – Sprint from the ghouls chasing you! Alternate between 1 minute of fast ruck march and 1 minute of jogging.

• Beastly Jumping Jacks (3 min) – Do jumping jacks with the ruck on, finishing strong as if you're dodging the Boogieman’s reach.

NOTES: Ruck weight can vary. Typically, 20 pounds if you weight under 150; 30 pounds if you are over 150. As always, modify as necessary.
