06/19/2021 - grove - Deck of Death with Variety

BackBlast:

I was so excited to be back home and working out with my FiA sisters. We can all check off the Deck of Death bingo box if it wasn’t checked already. I decided to make this one more of a variety with different rounds and exercises. We warmed up with some arm circles and stretches, and then we ramped up the cardio with mat taps (10 reps).

The Thang – so for this Deck of Death, the face cards (J,Q,K) were 10 reps and Aces were 15. I threw in Jokers so when those came up we did 3 burpees and I think we had 3 or4 jokers over the course of the rounds.

Round 1 -Abs

Diamond – BGSUs

Clubs – In and Outs

Spades – dead bugs

Hearts – reverse crunches

Round 2 – Arms

Diamond – bicep curls

Clubs – Y Raises

Spades – Carolina dry docks

Hearts – warm hugs (hold a weight in each hand and extend arms out and then back in to give yourself a warm hug)

Round 3 – Legs

Diamond – crockpot squats

Clubs – curtsy lunges

Spades – bear squats

Hearts – monkey humpers

Round 4 – Cardio

Diamond – kangaroos

Clubs – plank jacks

Spades – toe taps

Hearts – high knees

Round 5 – Combo

Diamond – donkey kicks (low reps we did each leg for the count on the card, hi reps we split it up)

Clubs – push ups

Spades – unicycles

Hearts – Boy bands

In between each round we ran to the stop sign and back, got some water, and kept on going. We did two times around the circle for each round with each Pax then pulling two cards per round. That brought us to 5 minutes left and we did some stretching. It had been a couple weeks since my last Q and a while since naming an FNG at a Q so our COT got discombobulated. But we got the picture in, Name o rama, naming the FNG (welcome Salty who will return home to Wilmington NC and look for a FiA group there), and then folks had dispersed before we prayed. It’s all good though! I said a fast universal prayer and called it a morning. Thanks for joining me ladies!
