The Card Workout

Almost all of my clients travel with work and more often than I would like. Unfortunately, I can't go with them.  So what can you do when you have minimal equipment yet need to stay on top of your workouts?  One of my FAVORITES is the Card Workout.  Here is how you do it:

Choose one exercise per suit.  Take a deck of cards and flip one at a time and do the amount of reps as the number on the card of the exercise that suit is assigned to.

For example:

Clubs: Sit ups
Spades: Burpees
Hearts: Push Ups
Diamonds: Lunges

So, if you draw the 7 of hearts, you would do 7 push ups and then immediately flip the next card and perform that exercise.  Go through the ENTIRE deck before you are done!  An ace is a minute break...OR you could really challenge yourself and make an ace 14 reps.

If you do the minute breaks, you get 90 REPS of each exercise.  Without the minute breaks, it is 104 REPS!!!!  Best part about it?  It only takes about 20 minutes or so.  It's an efficient calorie scorcher.

No more excuses on vacation or while you are traveling for work!

Still want more? Choose 2 exercises per suit.
