Deck of Cards Workout

A deck of cards is a great way to mix up your regular routine. I am a big fan of this workout because it keeps you on your toes and you never know what's next. The idea behind this workout is that you assign a different exercise to each card in a deck and the different suites tell you how many of each exercise to do. Your rest is the time it takes you to check which workout is being displayed on the card. I would recommend writing it out.

Below is an example of my own. Try it if you dare! All you need for this deck of cards workout is a pull-up bar and a flat surface. If at any point while looking over the exercise you don't know what something is just look it up on the web, they are all fairly simple.

Reps
Diamonds = 4

Hearts = 6
Clubs = 8
Spades = 10

Cards/Exercises
2 = calf raises
3 = jump twist
4 = Leg lifts using pull-up bar (straight legs, bent if that is too hard)
5 = Chin-ups
6 = mountain climbers x2
7 = pike planks
8 = tuck-jumps
9 = push-ups
10 = scissor lunges
J = spiderman push-ups
Q = squat jumps
K = pull-ups
A = burpees

Example: If I pulled a Queen of Spades in this workout I would have to do 10 squat-jumps.

Good luck, and stay motivated!
