Deck of Cards /  by Stephen Cooper

For this workout you'll need a regular deck of cards.

Warm up as necessary.

You will go through the entire deck of cards.

Hearts will equal burpees.

Spades will equal lunges (of any kind, and for each leg)

Diamonds will equal push ups

Clubs will equal crunches (of any kind)

As you go through the deck you will do the number of repetitions as is displayed on the card, so 2 of hearts would be 2 burpees. 10 of diamonds would be 10 push ups...and so on.  I count Aces as 15, not 1.

Go through the entire deck at your own pace, and rest and drink water when necessary.

Cool down and stretch at the end of this workout.
