6 Leeds GoodGymers completed the Deck of Cards workout to mix up their running. The challenge was to complete 84 reps x 4 based on a Deck of Cards.
First up was Liz, who set herself the following challenge:
Hearts: Marching
Clubs: Lunges
Spades: Modified Press Ups
Diamonds: Squats
Liz was unlucky with her card shuffle when she encountered a Queen, a Jack and a 9 of Spades making 29 modified press ups in a row!
Next up were Aron and Heather who really enjoyed and had fun doing the following workout:
Hearts: Jumping Jacks
Clubs: Lunges
Spades: Mountain Climbers
Diamonds: Glute bridges
Next up was my turn, after setting the original challenge I misplaced my pack of cards so had to find a card shuffling App! I completed the following:
Hearts: Jumping Jacks
Clubs: Lunges
Spades: Mountain Climbers
Diamonds: Squats
Rob took up the challenge next, he needed extra motivation in the form of chocolate ginger biscuits to complete the challenge he had set himself:
Hearts: Burpees
Clubs: Rear Lunges
Spades: Press Ups
Diamonds: Jumping Jacks
Jokers: Chocolate Ginger Biscuits!!
Helen completed the final challenge with another difficult workout, she also had a another interesting shuffle of cards:
Hearts: Squats
Clubs: Sit ups
Spades: Burpees
Diamonds: One Leg Skips
We all had fun completing the workout and I think a few of us will incorporate this into our weekly routines!
