HIIT or not?

Not, I was going to make this evenings workout an HIIT workout but unfortunately I’d forgotten to charge a battery for the gymboss timer. I’d wanted to make this evenings workout bodyweight only as I’d done a kettlebell workout yesterday, since I’d also no battery for the mp3 player (I could have put a DVD on but wanted to workout outdoors), I was left with the deck of cards. This evenings workout was a deck of cards workout. I worked through the deck twice.

First deck was:

Spades = crunches
Diamonds = Jumping Jacks
Hearts = push-ups
Clubs = squat thrusts

Second deck was:

Spades = rustys
Diamonds = quantum jumps
Hearts = push-ups
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.
