1. The Zombie Apocalypse

A 20-minute AMRAP for four athletes with synchronised burpees, swings, sit-ups and a team run.

The Zombie Apocalypse

AMRAP 20 MINUTES20 min

AMRAP 20 MINUTES

  • 10 Burpees — 4 athletes synchronised
  • 20 Kettlebell Swings — synchronised pairs
  • 30 Sit-Ups — synchronised pairs
  • 400 m Run — team of 4

Team of 4. Agree pair rotations, synchronisation points and scoring before starting. Kettlebell loads are not specified.

All four partners perform the burpees and run together. The original outline specifies swings and sit-ups synchronised in pairs, without defining pair rotations or whether both pairs work together. Agree these rules, synchronisation points and repetition counting before starting. No kettlebell load is prescribed.

2. The Pumpkin Patch Challenge

A Halloween chipper for two or three athletes, with a 15-minute cap and team-sharing rules to agree.

The Pumpkin Patch Challenge

FOR TIME15 min cap

FOR TIME

  • 50 Thrusters
  • 40 Box Jumps
  • 30 Push-Ups
  • 20 Wall Balls
  • 10 Farmer's Carries

Team of 2–3. Time cap: 15 minutes. Agree work sharing, loads, box height and distance per carry before starting.

Complete the five tasks in order. The original outline does not define repetition sharing, loads, box height or distance per farmer’s carry. Agree the length of one carry and how the ten carries are counted with your coach. The “pumpkin” theme refers to suitable training equipment: a kettlebell or medicine ball for thrusters and two loads for the carry, rather than decorations.

3. Haunted House AMRAP

An 18-minute AMRAP for three athletes with deadlifts, lunges, Russian twists and jumping jacks.

Haunted House AMRAP

AMRAP 18 MINUTES18 min

AMRAP 18 MINUTES

  • 5 Deadlifts (100/70 kg)
  • 10 Lunges
  • 15 Russian Twists
  • 20 Jumping Jacks

Team of 3. Agree repetition sharing, lunge/twist counting and partner rotations. Scale the listed deadlift loads as needed.

The original suggestion lists deadlifts at 100/70 kg; these loads are not automatically appropriate for every athlete. Repetition sharing, rotations and side counting for lunges and twists are not defined. Agree them before starting and record your version. No Russian-twist load is specified.

Organise the team session

Choose one workout, warm up and rehearse transitions. Define equipment zones, synchronisation rules and scoring before starting. Scale loads and movements individually. Costumes should preserve visibility and movement without interfering with equipment.
