Workout Games (for the inner child)

We all get bored of our usual workout routines. I am constantly trying to discover and build fresh routines for my clients, PE classes and bootcamps.

Here are 2 workout games you can bring with you anywhere. You just need a set of dice and/or a deck of cards. In all games all clients perform every move at the same time. Although each client gets a turn to roll the dice or pull cards this is an individual challenge.


Please ensure all clients perform a 5 minute warm-up prior to beginning games.
Example: 
2 minutes light jog or stairs
30 seconds of: Walking Lunges, Body Weight Squats, Torso Twists, Butt Kicks, Leg Swings, Toe touch pulses
Roll The Dice

Equipment: 1 set of dice (2) & a piece of paper/white board and a pen
Instructions: 
1) Write down 12 exercises


Example:

1 - Sprints
2 - Suicides
3 - Squat Jumps
4 - Plank Walks
5 - Sizzor Jumps
6 - Burpees
7 - Mountain Climbers
8 - Push-Ups
9 - Quick Feet
10 - Curtsy Jumps
11 - Sumo Walks or Jumps
12 - Walking Fwd or Bkw Lunges


2) Each client rolls the dice twice.
- First Roll indicates the number of sets of the exercise. One set is 20 seconds long
- Second Roll indicates which exercise


Body of Cards

Equipment: A deck of Cards & a piece of paper/white board and a pen
Instructions: 
1) Divide the piece of paper/white board into 4 sections. Label each section with a card category (Hearts, Diamonds, Clubs, Spades). List 3 exercises for each category. Client must perform all exercises/category


Example:

• Hearts: Star jumps, Burpees, Mountain Climbers
• Diamonds: Inch Worms, V-Ups, Plank
• Clubs: Alt Rvs Lunges, Squat Jumps, Single Leg Bridge Raises
• Spades: Push-Ups, Spider Push-ups, Tricep Push-ups

2) Each card = the number on the card
    Face cards = 10
    Joker cards = pull again & clients must dbl that number of reps
   Ace cards = Asshole Ace Holds: Add a 30 second hold in addition


Example:

• Ace of Hearts: Bridge Holds
• Ace of Diamonds: Plank
• Ace of Clubs: Squat Holds
• Ace of Spades: Lunge Holds (15/15)

Full Game Example (for the pretty ones)
