Deck of Cards Workout

by Harry on February 29, 2012

in Workouts

This is my favourite take anywhere workout, all you need is a deck of cards and your own bodyweight. Simply pick the top card off the pack, the suit corresponds to the exercise and the value of the card corresponds to the number of repetitions of that exercise.

Deck of Cards:

Suits
* Hearts = jumping jacks
* Diamonds = push-ups
* Spades = stomach crunches
* Clubs = squat thrusts

Repetitions
* ace = 11 reps
* 2 = 2 reps
* 3 = 3 reps and so on
* Jack = 11 reps
* Queen = 12 reps
* King = 13 reps
* Joker = 25 of the previous exercise.

Work through the deck as fast as possible, have a quick drink and then do it again.

Workout for 04/22/09

Went for a run, I wasn’t sure about the area so to make sure I did at least 5 miles I ran 20 minutes there and 20 minutes back, I probably average about 7 minutes a mile (maybe a little faster) so a 35 minute run means I’ve done at least 5 miles (-:
