Dirty South Poker!

Finish the Deck Challenge!

For this workout, all you need is a deck of cards.  Shuffle the cards and draw the first card on the stack.  The suit tells you what exercise to do; the number on the card tells you how many reps to do.  Face Cards are worth 10 reps.  When you finish the exercise, grab a new card. How long does it take you to work through the whole deck?

Diamonds: Situps

Clubs: Squats

Hearts: Leg Raises

Any Ace: 20 Mountain Climbers
