With a deck of cards perform exercises as drawn for each of the following:
Hearts = Pushups
Diamonds = Crunches
Clubs = Squats
Spades = Burpees
Numbered cards are done for reps as numbered
Kings & Queens are 10 reps
Aces are 15 reps
Jokers & Jacks = 400m run
As soon as 1/2 the class is done with the card - we move on!
Rx is awarded to those who do all reps
"Lemon Style" Hit the Deck is an homage to the first time Lizz conducted this workout with classes back in 2009. She knew that Jokers = 400 m runs. What she didn't know was that Jacks aren't Jokers!
Keeping with tradition, GPP will be holding 1 class only today. Please join us for this workout at 8 am. Happy Memorial Day!
