Proper Trick-or-Treat Mechanics for Parents

New Arrivals

Trick-or-Treating with kids can be an adorable nightmare. Maintaining proper mechanics throughout the night is the key to survival. Good luck out there and stay safe!

Progressive resistance training, like carrying your children’s candy bags while Trick-or-Treating, requires some strategy. This bag is only and always getting heavier, so make sure to switch arms frequently, even if you don’t feel like you need to yet. If possible, counterweight the bag(s) in each hand for a more balanced load.

It’s not always possible to let them cry it out where they lie, so make sure you practice proper technique when lifting mid-meltdown. Lift with your knees, not back, and keep your core engaged. Establishing a widened, sturdy stance will help you maintain balance during unexpected flailing.

At some point during the night they will make a break for it. Make sure you conserve energy for sudden, entirely random sprints in any and all directions. Your first stride is the most important, so stay ready at all times in a balanced, athletic stance.
