*N*I*N*E*

So, something I'm proud of in the past few days. You know, there is a lot of things I'm proud of, but we'll go with my deck of cards work out and run :) For those of you who read this and would like a quick work out-here you go. The Deck of Cards Work Out Needed: A deck of playing cards, a space big enough for you to lay down, good music* to listen to. *Music is optional. The Cards: 2-10: The number on the card is how ever many of the exercise you do. Face cards: Ten of the suit of the card drawn. Ace: Fifteen of the suit of the card drawn. Joker: Twenty of the card before. The Exercises: Hearts: Sit ups* Clubs: Jumping Jacks Diamonds: Push ups* Spades: Leg raises* *All of the exercises except for the push ups can be replaced with other exercises. :) For example, arm dips instead of sit ups, squats instead of jumping jacks. How to play: Shuffle the cards a few times, than place face down. At this point I reccommend stretching. To begin draw a card, and do what it says, than continue until the deck is finished. For example, if you draw a nine of diamonds, you will do nine push ups. Over all the workout takes about 15-20 minutes, which is why you also run after. How far and even if you run are both up to you. You can also add weights to the exercises. This will kick your trash if you do it right, so good luck!! If you even read this, let me know how it works out for you :)
