For this workout you will need a standard deck of playing cards.

Clubs: Double the value for Hindu Squats.
Spaids: Double value for Hindu Jumper Squats.
Diamonds: Number value for Straight Pushups (or half moon pushups)
Hearts: Number value for Hindu Pushups.

Number Cards (2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10)= Given value.
Face cards (Jacks, Queens, Kings)= 10 value.
Aces= 11 value.
Jokers= 20 value.

Shuffle the deck well. Deal the top card. Do the number and exercise for that card. Then, without rest, deal the second card, and on and on until the entire deck is finished.

For example we will look at 10 random cards…

3 of Clubs= 6 squats
Jack of Spaids= 20 jumpers
King of Hearts= 10 hindu pushups
6 of Diamonds= 6 pushups
9 of spaids= 18 jumpers
King of Clubs= 20 squats
Joker= 40 squats or 20 hindu pushups
Jack of Diamonds= 10 pushups
Ace of Spaids= 22 jumpers
3 of Hearts= 3 hindu pushups
etc…..

This workout done at a reasonable clip should take about 30 minutes. It is not as easy as it looks so don’t send me emails saying you ripped through the deck twice on your first try. All exercises should be done in perfect form.

The total number of squats is 420. The total number of pushups is 210. The total reps is 630.

Beginners can break the cards up into sets, or take longer time to complete, or take out the advanced exercises, change the exercises, or not double the squat numbers. Modifications should not become a crutch, just a means for progression.

HERE is a brief description at Scientific Wrestling.

You will never look at a deck of cards the same again.

Japanese Bike

Walking home one day from Shinjuku – I took this photo behind red light district “Kabukicho” in Korean town.

Do you know the name of this bike and do they sell ‘em in the US?

Back in the day: PAL Baseball

It seems like only yesterday when I was playing baseball for the Police Athletic League in my hometown St. Petersburg, Florida. Cleaning house I came across an article from back in the day. It was cut out and saved by my biggest fan – my dad.
