John Barban, CSCS, from www.grrlAthlete.com recently wrote about a creative bodyweight workout that is known as the 52 Card Workout. Here's how it goes down...
Take a regular deck of playing cards.
We alternate between upper and lower body exercises.
1st person chooses an upper body exercise (ex: push-ups) then you flip the top card and complete the number of reps that corresponds to the number on the card (ex: 8 reps for the 8 of hearts...)
Next set your partner chooses a lower body exercise and flip the next card for the reps...and so on...
Face cards are 10 reps each
Aces are 11 reps.
2,3,4's are low for reps...so we designated them as only for calves and abs...and the numbers corresponds to seconds...so for example. a 2 means 20 seconds of calf raises or 20 seconds of bridging for abs...alternate between calves and abs with each 2,3, or 4 that you flip.
This workout takes about 1 hour and its a great way to do conditioning, keep things fresh and get a whole body workout!
