workout April 2nd

Today's workout was a simple way to make an otherwise boring routine slightly more interesting, especially if you have a group, though you could do it on your own. There's plenty of variations you could do on this, and we did two ways today.

1) Split the deck of cards into face cards and numbers. Shuffle each. Draw a face card to determine exercise and the number card to determine reps. Put the face cards on the bottom of that pile to reuse, and discard the numbers until the numbers cards run out.

2) Shuffle all the cards together. Put a face card up first. In turn around the circle, draw the top card. If you draw a face card, that determines what exercise everyone will perform until the next face card is drawn, and you get to rest.

Today, we did king = push ups, queen = squats, jack = jumping jacks, joker = choice. So in the 2nd example, if the first person drew a king, then the next couple guys would perform whatever number of push ups they drew until someone drew a different face card, and then the exercise would switch for the next several guys until another face card was drawn, etc.
