ADRIANNN! Channel your inner Italian Stallion with this Rocky Balboa costume that really packs a punch. It’s a pretty simple get-up that you can cobble together from whatever clothes are lying around the house.

This one’s for all you deadlifters. A couple of these were recently spotted walking around, but instead of biting people they were all just drinking protein shakes and talking about their PRs.
Their brain-eating form, however, is reportedly impeccable.

Re-live your Tough Mudder glory days of conquering grueling obstacles with this super easy group Halloween costume.
Not only does it give you an excuse to break out your Finisher’s headband, but it’s a great conversation starter, too!

Got access to your grandfather’s closet? Grab the first pair of pants you see, a couple of brooms and some casual-Friday polo shirts, and say you’re the Norwegian curling team!

Ok, so this isn’t a “workout” costume exactly, but healthy eating is totally a part of that fit life! Plus, you eat kale so much, why not dress up like it for Halloween?
