Do you want to make your exercise program Fun?
Here is something that you can do by yourself or with a large group of people. Get a deck of cards (and take out the two's, three's and four's). If working out alone chip through the deck of cards on your own if working out with other people then make it a group effort.
Here is how to play.
Each of the 4 suits represents a different exercise.
For example,
• Diamonds = push-ups,
• Spades = squats
• Clubs = crunches
• Hearts = jumping jacks.
Whatever suit you draw is the exercise you do, and the
number on the card equals the number of reps that you do
(Face Cards = 10 reps and Aces = 11 reps).
If in a large group then each person draws a different card, does their exercise and then goes to the next card. Try to complete the deck as quickly as you can.
Play for 20-30 minutes and you will get a great cardio and muscular strength workout all in one. Time efficient and Fun what more could you ask for?
