deck of cards

This evenings workout was another deck of cards, I’m in a hotel this evening so worked out in a small courtyard at the rear of the hotel. The exercises were:

Suits
* Spades = Boxers sit ups
* Hearts = Push ups
* Diamonds = Jumping Jacks
* 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.

I did this twice for a total of 908 exercises, make no mistake about it, if this workout is done correctly there are few routines that are as challenging as this one. Don’t rest between exercises and only have a very short rest between decks.

The deck of cards workouts are some of my favorite workouts as they don’t require any equipment, can be done anywhere, are portable and are as challenging as any workouts you could try. Each shuffle of the deck provides a new workout. Give the deck of cards a whirl and you won’t be disappointed.
