Deck of Cards

This is a WOD Amanda and I did while camping at Roaring River. It is a pretty good workout and all you need is a flat surface and a deck of cards.

Here is how we played...
Clovers = Push-ups
Spades = Body Squats
Diamonds = Sit-ups
Hearts = Burpees (because we all love them!)
Jokers = 5 of each exercise

When a card is drawn, you do the face value for reps. For example, if a 5 of spades is drawn, you do 5 Body Squats and so on.

Jacks = 11 reps
Queens = 12 reps
Kings = 13 reps
Aces were high = 14 reps

We set Cael (my 4 3/4 year old as he would tell you) up with a deck of cards containing 4 jokers and he flipped the cards to tell us what to do.

I went through the entire deck plus 5 jokers (Owen, my 23 month old stuck in an extra Joker from another deck...little stinker) for a total of 57 cards.

104 reps per Suit (exercise) x 4 suits = 416 reps.
Add in the 100 extra reps to account for the 5 jokers played and you get a grand total of....

516 reps!

Not a bad workout.

Total time: 25:15

There were a few instances where I had to refocus Cael and or draw my own card, might have added some time, but who knows. Really enjoyed this WOD for a change up.
