Deck of Cards Workout
What you need: A standard deck of playing cards
How it works:
-
Assign an exercise to each suit:
-
♥ Hearts = Squats
-
♠ Spades = Push-ups
-
♦ Diamonds = Jumping Jacks
-
♣ Clubs = Sit-ups
-
-
Shuffle the deck and draw a card. The number on the card determines how many reps you do!
-
Face cards (J, Q, K) = 10 reps
-
Aces = 15 reps
-
Jokers (optional) = 30-second plank or burpees
-
-
Go through the whole deck or set a time limit (e.g., 10-15 minutes).
It’s a surprise-based workout, so you never know what’s next! You can also do it with friends and take turns drawing cards for an extra challenge.
Would you try it? 😆🔥

Great option for doing something different & getting in activity (or even as a “partner based” workout)...
I would even suggest doing this type of workout with “Commercial breaks” to challenge oneself to get up from the couch and move. 💪🏼
@ScorpiaD why not if it gets you moving 🥰 my nephew loved it, found it fun, says alot that it got him off his Nintendo switch 🤣
@ScorpiaD
Love this idea although I doubt my daughter will feel the same. 😂
Could even use this idea with weights, only target one area. (arms, legs, chest, etc)
@ScorpiaD
Too good idea I can’t wait to try!!!
@ScorpiaD Ahhhh this is so creative and motivating!! I love incorporating gamification into my life to help make accomplishing goals even more fun! I would definitely give this a shot, but I'd tailor this to include movements I can perform in an apartment that are low-impact since I have neighbors that live on the floor below hahaha - no jumping jacks for me!
