An Indoor Workout is in the Cards
An Indoor Workout is in the Cards CrossFit Westerville Trainer Chris Schell gives us an indoor workout he calls Deck of Cards
Warm-up: go through three times
• 10 samson lunges (alternating lunge step with a stretch of the arms to the ceiling) • 15 glute bridges (laying on your back, bring your heels close to your backside and plant your feet. Then squeeze your butt to lift your hips to the ceiling) • 5 inchworms (from standing position, put your hands by your feet and walk them out to a push-up position, do a push-up, then walk them back to your feet and stand up) • 15 squats
Workout: Deck of Cards
Using a standard deck of playing cards, flip a card and do the number of reps of the given exercise based on the card.
Example: if you flip over a five of diamonds, you will do five sit-ups. After you finish the exercise, flip over the next card.
The goal is to get through the deck as fast as possible. You can do this alone or grab a partner and trade off drawing cards.
“CrossFIt Westerville has been programming workouts with limited equipment in mind for members to do at home since all of the COVID-19 alerts started,” Schell says. “We’re lucky to have an amazing group of supportive members that help push each other to be the happiest and healthiest version of themselves.”
