Train Without Excuses

We are in that time of the year.  That time where weather and travels can impede with our training.  Temperatures can get down to dangerous levels in which it isn’t safe to be outside.  Ice can make it so it is not safe to run without risk of falling and injuring something.  Traveling takes us away from our gym and/or equipment at home, possibly leaving us in a house or in a with minimal options to work with. 

If you are used to someone else doing the workout programming for you AND used to having a lot of equipment available to you, you may be at a loss as to what to do.  I have a solution for you!

Deck of Cards 

  • Get a deck of cards (can also download a deck of cards app on your phone) 
  • Pick 4 movements, one for each suit. 
  • Turn over one card at a time and perform the number of reps for the appropriate movement based on the suit. 
  • For face cards: Jack = 11, Queen = 12, King = 13 
  • Jokers: if you choose to leave them in, pick a different movement that takes longer.  For instance, I may run up and down the stairs several times when I turn over the Joker. 

Happy Training!
