in Fitness and Exercise
Assign an exercise to each suit, flip the card and do the number of reps shown. Jokers = 20 reps of all four exercises.

eg. Queen of Aces is 10 reps (all face cards 10 reps)
Post what combinations of exercises you did for others to get different execise combo ideas.

Today mine is:
Diamonds = pushups
Hearts = situps
Spades = arm curls
Clubs = shoulder press

    Last time we did this with my boot camp class, it was

    * burpees
    * mountain climbers
    * kettlbell situps
    * triceps dips
    Jokers were run 10 laps (each lap is about 80m)

    Aces were 1, but Jack was 11, Queen was 12 and King was 13.

    (Hearts are always burpees because, "Everyone loves burpees!!!")

    Diamonds = 115lb bench
    Hearts = 80lb lat pull down
    Spades= 20lb lateral shoulder raises
    Clubs = 25lb arm curls.

    No jokers so 85 reps each.
