________________________________
This is a classic workout of CrossFit road warriors and CrossFit affiliates alike. The Deck of Cards WOD - aka "Deck of Death".
Infinitely customizable and simple to understand.
The setup is a standard Deck of Cards, including jokers - 54 cards total.
Each suit represents an exercise and each card value equals the number of reps (Aces and Royal cards vary reps by difficulty level). The Jokers are assigned to something that you will only do once and will be challenging (ie 50 Burpees or 500m Row).
As soon as you flip a card over, the timer starts and the athletes begins turning over a single card, performing the number of reps and specific exercise depending on the card. This continues until the deck has no more cards left or you give up (DNF).
The objective is to get through the deck as quickly as possible. The workout takes about 30 minutes, and yes, its harder than it sounds (like most CrossFit workouts). Dont be scared; were here to get you fit.
You can do this workout anywhere, with little or no equipment. Pick any four movements - push-ups, squats, lunges, box jumps, pull-ups, thrusters, overhead squats, knees-to-elbows, back extensions, jumping burpee pullups, sit-ups, tire slams, tire flips...the list is endless.
Now instead of hauling around a Deck of Cards like youre the next David Blaine, you can easily use this Deck of Cards workout. Not only is it easy to use, but you dont have to think about which exercise to perform for each suit, its all right there on the screen!
Updates include multiple difficulty settings, ability to totally customize your Deck of Cards, share your pre-workout or post-workout with family and friends...all right in the app. It doesnt get any better than this!
