Deck of Cards Workout

If you have a deck of cards then I never want to hear that you don’t have the means for a wicked workout while you are on the road or in the field. Give this a shot…

Start off with one minute each of:·
~Jumping Jacks
~Bodyweight Squats
~Sit-ups
~Pushups

Assign each suit of the deck with an exercise. Here is what I usually pick.
~Clubs – Burpees on bench or floor
~Spades – Walkouts
~Hearts – Sit-ups
~Diamonds – Pushups

This is the easiest assignment. Whatever number card you pick, you do the number of the card with the exercise for that suit. For example, the jack of clubs would be 10 Burpees. All face cards are 10. Black jokers are 100 squats in 4 minutes. Red jokers are 75 sit-ups and every five you flip to do a pushup in 4 minutes. You do ten cards nonstop and then take a 30 second break.

This question is about sports and competition. You mentioned in a radio interview that, regardless of the risk of losing, kids should participate in sports to learn about life (I’m paraphrasing).

Well, here’s a real life situation. The Washington DC American football team suffered a shameful, disgusting 52-7 loss to the Patriots. According to a news article, there is concern that the Patriot’s coach violated etiquette by scoring another touchdown towards the end of the game, even though the outcome was clearly in the Patriot’s favor.

Getting Fitness In Daily

Recently I had a member of our FLS crew ask about getting fitness in on a daily basis. This isn’t so much a guide, but just some thoughts that came to my mind….

It seems kind of funny to me when people ask how can they make fitness part of their daily lives because I often wonder if they really want the truth. The reason I say that is because fitness is a lot like any other hobby. You have those that dabble and then you have those that are, well, a little farther out of the norm.

It reminds me of that quote where Jack Nicholson says “Truth? You can’t handle the truth!” You see, the fact of the matter is that some of the fitness crowd do things on a daily basis that to “normal” people seems a little strange. Read more
