6 Leeds GoodGymers completed the Deck of Cards workout to mix up their running. The challenge was to complete 84 reps x 4 based on a Deck of Cards.

First up was Liz, who set herself the following challenge:

Hearts: Marching

Clubs: Lunges

Spades: Modified Press Ups

Diamonds: Squats

Liz was unlucky with her card shuffle when she encountered a Queen, a Jack and a 9 of Spades making 29 modified press ups in a row!

Next up were Aron and Heather who really enjoyed and had fun doing the following workout:

Hearts: Jumping Jacks

Clubs: Lunges

Spades: Mountain Climbers

Diamonds: Glute bridges

Next up was my turn, after setting the original challenge I misplaced my pack of cards so had to find a card shuffling App! I completed the following:

Hearts: Jumping Jacks

Clubs: Lunges

Spades: Mountain Climbers

Diamonds: Squats

Rob took up the challenge next, he needed extra motivation in the form of chocolate ginger biscuits to complete the challenge he had set himself:

Hearts: Burpees

Clubs: Rear Lunges

Spades: Press Ups

Diamonds: Jumping Jacks

Jokers: Chocolate Ginger Biscuits!!

Helen completed the final challenge with another difficult workout, she also had a another interesting shuffle of cards:

Hearts: Squats

Clubs: Sit ups

Spades: Burpees

Diamonds: One Leg Skips

We all had fun completing the workout and I think a few of us will incorporate this into our weekly routines!
