Deck of Cards Workout

Hey I've heard of the deck of cards workout before but I have never actually knew what it was until I did some research. So this workout is very simple and only uses a deck of cards. Normally, each suit is a different set of workouts for example, Hearts are crunches, spades are burpees, so on and so forth. And all face cards are worth 10pts, Aces are 11pts, Numbered cards are as valued. The goal is to get through all 52 cards everyday. You can organize this workout however you want by changing which exercises you want with a different suit for instance maybe you don't want crunches with hearts and want push ups with hearts its up to you.

How to
  1. Get out your deck of cards
  2. Flip one card over ex. 10 of spades. What ever you choose spades to be you do 10 of them. For now lets say spades are bicycle kicks, you do 10 of them.
  3. Flip the next card over..and keep flipping and do the exercises until the deck is finished
This workout may seem easy but its pretty intense but there are different versions too. I particularly want to get through the deck faster.

Here's how
  1. Get out your deck of cards
  2. Flip over 3 cards at a time and add them up. Ex: 2, Queen, 7, total of 19 points and you choose out of random what exercises you want to do for example squats you do 19 of them.
  3. Flip over 3 more.. and keep flipping til deck is finished
Here's the video I follow
Good luck getting Fit!!!
