Monday's Muscle Work -- Deck of Cards -- Lower Body

Today's workout is going to go along with my challenge of the week:  The Deck of Cards Workout.

Today I'm going to make up another one you--using only strength moves for the lower body.  You will need one standard deck of cards including the two Jokers.

If you missed my earlier post, here's how it works.  I'm going to assign one exercise for each of the four suits.  Shuffle the cards.  Turn over a card--do the exercise assigned for that suit as many times as indicated on the card--for example 5 of hearts = 5 reps of the exercise assigned to hearts.

Face cards = 10 reps, Aces = 11 reps.

Ok, here's the workout:

Hearts:  Squat jumps

Diamonds:  Speed skaters (count it 1,1--2,2 etc.)

Clubs:  Alternating Lunges

Spades:  Glute Bridges

For the Joker:  Mountain Climbers 30-45 seconds
