WORK IT OUT WEDNESDAY [Week One]


Take your workout outside!!!
The inspiration from this workout came from Tread instructor Daurie's Bootcamp style class called CamoTread. We did THE DECK OF CARDS workout. It is among the most feared at TreadBR!!




WHAT YOU NEED: deck of cards, mat, weights

HOW IT WORKS: Choose four different exercises. Each exercise will represent one suit in the deck of cards. [ex. spade=squat jump  heart=bicycle  diamond=diamond pushup  club=spiderman] The number will represent how many reps you will do of the exercise. Jacks and Queens = 11. Kings and Aces =12.
Example from round one: when a 4 of spades was pulled we did 4 squat jumps.


WHAT WE DID:
just to keep things interesting I divided the deck into 3 piles and created 3 rounds with different workouts [pictured below]






ROUND ONE: GO THROUGH FIRST STACK OF CARDS
                          RUN FOR 8 MINUTES

ROUND TWO: GO THROUGH SECOND STACK OF CARDS
                         RELAY SPRINT WITH YOUR PARTNER
[[we just found a straight patch of land and tagged off. each of us did 5 sprints then we jogged back to the house]]

ROUND THREE: LAST STACK OF CARDS
                             STRETCH



****If we were getting a whole lot of one exercise in a stack and not a lot of the others I would edit the exercise every now and then.



I really enjoyed this work out!! Hope y'all like!
