Some of you may have done workouts using a deck of cards in the past using various exercises but mainly Pushups, Squats, Situps and the likes. It's one of my favorite routines for getting a great and intense workout. Lately for the past several days I have taken a different approach to the cards by doing Animal Movements to make it a little more interesting. 2 Upper Body Animal Movements and 2 Lower Body movements.
Here's how I do the deck to really kick things up a notch....
King, Queen, Jack are 20 Reps
Aces are 22 Reps
Jokers are 100 Bear Crawls
2-10 are doubled
This comes out to nearly 1000 total reps of movement. My goal is to consistently keep it under 25 min to complete. It's a lot of fun. One deck I have has 3 Jokers so it comes out just over 1000 reps for a full deck.
The animals I use are Bear Crawls, Crab Walks, a Primate movement and Duck Walks.
