Turn off ESPN. We're playing a real game here.

Saturday is almost here and we ain’t goin’ fish. Bring your shades, cigars, stout glasses, and straight face because we’re playing cards. Crossfit style.

We will cycle through one half of the cards using 4 exercises. Then we will switch to 4 different ones in the last half. Exercises are determined by the suit.

It looks like this:


First Half:

Diamonds - Sit-ups
Spades - Thrusters
Hearts – Sprints (distance is determined by card value. 7 Hearts= 70 m)
Clubs - Push-ups


Last Half:

Diamonds- Pull-ups
Spades- Burpees
Hearts- Squats
Clubs- Dumb-bell swings

Reps are determined by the card value. Jacks are 11, Queens 12, Kings 13, Aces are 14. Jokers are 10 reps of each exercise during which time the joke will be on us.



See you there,

We ain’t playin’ with ya!
