New weekly circuit
So, each week I'm going to put together a circuit for you guys to try - I'm open to doing more of these if they would be of any help? I really want you to guide this as my head is literally full of this sort of thing, and I'm not 100% sure how it may be most useful.
So - this week's first circuit is one a lot of you have done before - Deck of cards! The challenge though, is get through the WHOLE pack. You have 2 choices for the session - with or without kit - i'll pop them both below 🙊
Option 1 - no kit
Hearts = Burpees
Spades = Crunches
Clubs - Squats/jumps
Option 2 - Weighted bag / dumbbells
Hearts = High pulls
Spades = Overhead press
Diamonds = Burpees (you don't get out of these)
Clubs = Lunges / Jumps (each side or total - I'm not that mean)
How to:
If you have not done this before, simply assign the given exercise to the suits as above. Then, turn over a card and perform that number of reps for each exercise. Unlike in a group session, the target is to complete the whole deck with as little rest as possible. When you hit a joker, you have 2 options. Either it's double the reps of the next card, OR my favorite - discard that joker, then reshuffle the pack and start from scratch! This bumps this from a relatively quick 20-minute or so session into something much bigger, but it is a good challenge if you really want to push yourself.
If you have no cards to hand, you can use the simple Deck of Cards creator attached.
Let me know if this hits home, and be great to see how you got on - tag on Instagram, be brilliant!
